Following the footsteps of Netflix, the Disney Plus Hotstar mobile-only plan will make its debut costing Rs 499 and support only one mobile device at a time. The Disney Plus Hotstar Super plan costs Rs 899 and offers access to two devices at a time across phone, web, and TV, and lastly, the cost of premium plans remains the same at Rs 1,499, but it will offer access across four devices, an additional two devices from the current plan.
While the basic plan might seem like a big jump, Disney Plus Hotstar confirmed that all the content including Disney+ Originals, latest American shows, blockbuster Hollywood movies, Marvel movies and shows, and all the content will be available on the platform irrespective of the plan of choice.
The Mobile and Super plan support videos up to HD quality while the Premium plan can go up to 4K resolution.

Currently, the Disney Plus Hotstar Premium subscription gives full access to all the content on the platform including watching IPL 2021 live, Hotstar Specials, Star content, the latest Indian movies, Disney Plus movies, Hollywood movies, English and Disney+ Originals.
