Disney+ Hotstar announces three new plans, will provide access to international content

Disney+ Hotstar has made full preparations to compete with Netflix with some new plans. While the company announced 18 new Hotstar Specials series and Disney+ Hotstar Multiplex movies during a virtual event on Tuesday, the Disney-owned streaming service has also announced that it is discontinuing its two-tier content-based strategy. Additionally, all content on Disney+ Hotstar, including Disney+ Originals, Hollywood movies and TV shows from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, HBO, FX, Showtime, 20th Century and Searchlight Pictures, was previously available only on Disney+ Hotstar. Was limited to Premium, which is now available to everyone.

From September 1, Disney+ Hotstar will allow its subscribers to choose from three new plans, which include Rs 499 annual plan “Mobile”, Rs 899 annual plan “Super” and Rs 1,499 annual plan “Premium”. The starting price is higher than the VIP price of Rs 399, but the premium price has not changed. If you are already a Disney+ Hotstar Premium subscriber, not much has changed for you, except that you can now stream on four devices simultaneously, earlier this feature was limited to only two devices. Plus, there’s still 4K on premium. Disney+ Hotstar Super gives you high-definition (HD) video quality on two devices at the same time.

Disney+ Hotstar Mobile is similar to Netflix’s mobile plan. It restricts you to mobile devices only, but on it you can enjoy HD video quality. At the same time, customers who have Disney + Hotstar Super and Disney + Hotstar Premium subscription can use this service on all supported platforms, websites, mobile and living room devices. In the new Disney + Hotstar, customers will get access to international content along with Mobile (Rs 499) and Super (Rs 899) Premium (Rs 1,499).

Three new plans of Disney + Hotstar, Rs 499 mobile, Rs 899 super and Rs 1,499 premium plan, will be implemented from September 1.
