Disney+ Hotstar has started testing two new mobile plans in India that aim to attract new customers by providing access to its over-the-top (OTT) content for just Rs. 49 per month, according to user reports. The new plans would be limited to select payment methods. Disney+ Hotstar is also offering its annual plans that start at Rs. 499 per year for mobile users. The streaming platform also has the Rs. 899 “Super” plan and the top-notch “Premium” plan for Rs. 1,499.
As initially reported by a user on Reddit, the Rs. 49 Disney+ Hotstar subscription is available with an introductory discount of Rs. 50. This means that it would be available for Rs. 99 per month.
