Disney+ Hotstar New Plans, Benefits, Price

The base ₹499 plan from Disney+ Hotstar is restricted to only one user. It offers HD video streaming and stereo audio. It includes access to Disney+ originals, shows, movies, and kids’ content. It also includes exclusive Hotstar Specials shows, live sports (including cricket), Premier League, and Formula 1. The validity of this plan is one year.

The second Disney+ plan, which costs ₹899 per year, gives access to two devices simultaneously. However, it is restricted to Full HD video resolution. It includes 5.1-channel Dolby Audio, though. Similar to the base ₹499 plan, the ₹899 offers access to Exclusive Hotstar specials, Disney+ originals, TV shows, movies, kids’ content, and much more. You can stream TV shows or movies on two devices, including laptops and TV.

The highest-priced Disney+ Hotstar subscription plan costs ₹1,499 per month. It offers content on four devices simultaneously, and that too, in 4K resolution and HDR. Obviously, 4K and HDR quality would only be available depending on the content and compatible device. This plan includes 5.1-channel Dolby Audio. Users subscribed to this plan won’t see any ads.

If you are subscribed to the old ₹399 plan, you will have to shell out ₹100 more after your current subscription ends.
