Disney Plus launched in India today, March 11, two weeks earlier before the previously planned debut date of March 29.
Disney’s existing Indian streamer Hotstar app is now rebranded as Disney Plus Hotstar on Android and iOS. The Disney Plus Hotstar branding is in addition to the platform’s existing bouquet of TV, movies, news, sports and other premium content.
The platform offers fans of all ages a new way to experience the unparalleled content from the company’s iconic entertainment brands, including Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic, as well as exclusive original programming including feature-length films, series, documentaries, and short-form content made exclusively for the service such as such as The Mandalorian, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and The World According to Jeff Goldblum.
In addition to English, much of the content is available dubbed in the Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages, but you need to have the Premium account to get access to content in English.
A Disney Plus Hotstar Premium subscription is currently priced at INR 299 ($4.05) a month or INR 999 ($13.55) a year.
