Hotstar

Hotstar, an acclaimed online streaming platform, is an Indian over-the-top (OTT) service now owned by Disney. It originally debuted in February 2015 under the banner of Star India and later became part of Disney's streaming portfolio following Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox, which included Star India.

Hotstar boasted an extensive content library featuring a wide array of free movies spanning from top blockbuster hits to low-budget art cinema. This platform catered to diverse audiences, offering content in various languages and genres. In line with other streaming services, Hotstar also ventured into producing original content, such as web series and documentaries, to remain competitive in the thriving OTT market.

Hotstar provides a free ad-supported tier and premium subscription tiers, known as "Hotstar VIP" and "Hotstar Premium." The VIP tier granted access to select premium content, while the Premium tier unlocked all content, including international shows and movies.

Accessible across a range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, and streaming devices, Hotstar offers user-friendly access options. Users could download the Hotstar app or access the platform through web browsers. While users can download films with a free subscription, they can opt for the premium subscription to enjoy ad-free access and access to an extended content library. This is because a Hotstar subscription is budget-friendly.
