Watching video content on smartphones is a trend these days and the adoption of video streaming apps continues in great acceleration in 2025. While globally consumed video apps like YouTube remain a top choice, Nepal also has a bunch of its own on offer. These are customized apps for Nepali movie apps, movies, and TV content. In this post, we list the Top Video streaming apps (OTTs) in Nepal for watching movies and videos.
With the video-streaming platforms, you do not need to worry if you miss many movies, TV shows or web series. Here, we have included the best video streaming apps as a whole based on their popularity and reach.
Top video apps in Nepal
NetTV Nepal
NetTV Nepal is perhaps the most well-established of the video-streaming apps in Nepal. It is also the country’s first OTT and IPTV service operating since 2015. Net TV provides Live TV channels, movies on demand, and several other exciting content.
NetTV is available via internet service providers (ISP) such as WorldLink on customers’ internet subscriptions. Besides, smartphone users can also use the app on their devices by logging in with an ISP profile, Gmail, or a Facebook account. The only quibble now is that the government doesn’t allow sports channels on TV.
NetTV brings Indian, Nepali, and International TV channels along with Value-added video content from several partners. It has struck up partnerships with ISPs and telecom companies like Ncell to provide video streaming services to their subscribers.
Internet subscribers can pay for NetTV while paying for their internet bills. It’s also possible to pay for NetTV Nepal using eSewa, Khalti, e-banking, SCT cards, and several banks.
NetTV’s improved version, Streamz+ comes with over 5,000 apps, 180 games, and 200+ live channels. But NetTV still continues to be a more popular and widely subscribed choice.

Cinemaghar App
The Cinemaghar app has quickly evolved into a top video-watching app for Nepali movie lovers. The app offers a large haul of blockbuster Nepali movies. If you want the latest Nepali hits at an affordable cost you can count on this app. Currently, you can watch blockbuster movies such as 12 Gaun, Hostel 3, Feri Resham Filili, etc.
While there are the most popular Nepali movies on the menu, a subscription is also convenient. You can pay for movies via eSewa, IME Pay, and other digital payment channels. Likewise, Nepalese abroad can also subscribe to the platform paying with Google Pay but payment from India is particularly easier as well through PhonePe, Paytm, etc.
If you have a yearning for pure Nepal cinemas, Cinemaghar is your default way to choose. The app has already been downloaded over 5 lakhs times on Play Store and is available on iOS, Amazon FireTV, Android TV, web, etc.
While Netflix Nepal remains popular for movie and web series consumption, Cinemaghar brings an authentic Kollywood taste to users.

MSM Video
MSM Video is another rapidly growing streaming platform in Nepal. Launched in April 2025 to serve Kollywood movies and web series, the platform has been continuously increasing its footprint in the industry.
MSM Video lets you buy or rent movies. You can buy a subscription to enjoy extended access to the content. Among the flicks, it has Jwai Saab, Chhakka Panja 5, Unko Sweater, Bulbul, Farki Farki, etc.
The platform allows subscribers to watch content on smartphones, tablets, TVs with Chromecast, and AirPlay. It supports streams on Roku, TIZNE, Fire TV, Android TV, Google TV, etc., too.
The 3-month subscription costs Rs 1,999 while the longest, yearly one comes in at Rs 5,999. With a subscription, you can watch movies or other content on three devices without ads.
You can pay for the content via eSewa, Khalti by IME, PayPal, MasterCard, etc. That means, even those outside of Nepal can subscribe to MSM Video and enjoy dozens of exciting content.

Video Pasal
Video Pasal is another popular video streaming platform. The service lets you watch popular Nepali movies on a laptop, a smartphone, a tablet, and Chromecast/AirPlay.
There are two subscription models on it- Standard and Basic. The Standard plan lets you watch on phone, tablet, and Chromecast, while the Basic model takes out Chromecast.
Speaking of cost, from what I experienced, the Standard plan costs Rs 200 while the Basic subscription costs only Rs 100. The price seems affordable. However, might I add that very few films from the list are available to watch. When I tapped on multiple movies, it only showed that “the movie is not available in your country.” It’s something they really need to work on to expand users’ access and likeability for the platform.
On the brighter side, the list of movies is quite large. Let’s hope that even users in Nepal get access to those movies.

Verdict
Among these handfuls of top video streaming apps in Nepal, each carries its essence for its worth. NetTV is perhaps the most ubiquitous platform due to its exposure via ISPs. Its ease of accessibility on both TV and smartphones makes it a solid contender for the top OTT app in Nepal.
Cinemaghar is a leading OTT service too with its ever-increasing catalog of the latest Nepali blockbusters. MSM Video is also rising the charts in recent times. Kantipur Cinemas is a worthy mention but it’s recently launched so it will take time to see how the future pans out for the startup.
Telco’s WoWTime and iFlix failed to make a mark and are not active. So, the OTT market in Nepal is not saturated but that is not to say that the industry is not as hustle and bustle. Surely, the top streaming apps are as popular as they can be.
