Disney+ Hotstar Rs. 49 Plan Available For Select Users: Here Are All Details

Of late, there has been an aggressive price war on the OTT platforms. After the recent price hike of Amazon Prime Membership, Netflix announced a price cut on its plans. Now, it seems to be followed by Disney+ Hotstar. We say so as there are reports surfacing online that the platform is offering a plan that costs a meager Rs. 49 per month.

As of now, there is no official confirmation regarding this new offer from Disney+ Hotstar. However, some users have taken to Reddit to share the screenshots of this low-cost monthly plan.

Disney+ Hotstar Plan For Rs. 49

The on-demand video streaming platform Disney+ Hotstar appears to be sharing the benefits of this low-cost plan with select users of its Android app. For now, reports hint that the Rs. 49 monthly streaming plan is available only on tablets and smartphones.

As per a screenshot by Only Tech, Disney+ Hotstar is offering a discount of 50% on its new Rs. 99 subscription plan. Notably, the Rs. 49 plan per month is available as an introductory offer. However, the OTT platform's support is available only for select Android users.

The new plan from Disney+ Hotstar will let users watch content on a single screen and at a maximum resolution of HD 720p. Also, the plan offers Stereo sound quality. A notable catch is that there will be ads in the content that is streaming. However, all the content available on the platform will be accessible to all users enrolled into this plan. We can expect the company to roll out this introductory offer to more users.
