users to stream, review, and manage their favorite movies and TV shows from a single digital space.
This project addresses the growing demand for convenient, on-demand access to entertainment content,
providing a modern, interactive experience for users across various devices.

The core objectives of the project are to develop an intuitive, visually appealing user interface (UI),
integrate advanced search and filtering options, and ensure a seamless streaming experience with
minimal buffering. The platform will feature a robust user authentication system, personalized
recommendations powered by machine learning (ML) algorithms, and multiple subscription plans to
cater to diverse user needs.

The website will offer essential features like watchlists, user ratings, and reviews to enhance user
engagement and satisfaction. A secure payment gateway will facilitate subscription management and
transaction processing. The backend will be built using scalable, cloud-based infrastructure to ensure
high availability and reliability.

The development process will follow Agile methodologies, allowing for iterative improvements based
