Overview

Disney+ Hotstar is a prominent subscription video-on-demand and over-the-top streaming service, primarily operating in India and select international markets. Originally launched as Hotstar by Star India, it was rebranded as Disney+ Hotstar in April 2020 following Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox.
