Thanks to modern codecs like HEVC (H.265) and efficient encoding by groups, a 300MB file can yield a surprisingly watchable 480p or 720p experience on a 5-6 inch phone screen. The artifacts (pixelation) are minimal during daylight scenes, though night scenes may suffer.

A typical 1080p Blu-ray rip of a 2-hour Marathi film can range between 1.5GB to 4GB. In contrast, a 300MB file is approximately 10x smaller. For users with 1GB or 2GB daily data limits, a single high-quality movie can eat up half the day's quota. The 300MB version allows for 2-3 movies per day.
