Being a movie buff i was very much interested in taking some kind of membership plan with any of the DVD store nearby my house. I was initially inclined to the CinemaParadiso a couple of years back it was the numero-uno in Hyderabad city (sorry no challenges for that, i got no statistics :)), I am very much convinced about the service provided by them. More than the service the ambiance of the store and big wigs of the film industry who were regular customers caught me up. They give genuine DVD's, they got great collection in each and every genre. But since the membership charges and rental charges were very high (Rs 3000 for membership and Rs.75 per DVD for 3 days, if it is a just arrival its is for just 1 day) i preferred to look and proceed. 
Later through some surfing on net i found this BigFlix. Its a Reliance ADA Group wing under the much publicized brand BIG. With subscriptions charges from about Rs.300 per month, It got numerous collection and that seems to improve as well day by day. Further what glued me to this is the free movie delivery and unlimited movies per day though 1,2 or 3 discs at a time. Being skeptical I have subscribed to this 1 DVD plan, though there were initial hiccups in terms of Movie titles availability and others i found it much interesting after some awareness in the movie queue system. The delivery was almost prompt and the title availability is pretty decent. Further it got discounts on certain occasions. There are some cons as well. Like, Customer care works from 10am to 8pm, Title availability at store etc.,
But as a whole I recommend BIGFlix to satisfy their thirst in movies for anyone. Here is the summary of pros and cons at BIGFlix.
