A free Hotstar subscription is very limited. You can only use it on 1 device and you don't get to watch any content in HD. Obviously, the free subscription heavily relies on advertisements. The VIP plan sets you back ₹399/Year (5.34 USD). Although it's a paid subscription it does lack Disney Originals. You also only get to use it on one device. Add to that the fact it is ad-supported and only offers dubbed content. For the full Hotstar experience, we recommend selecting the Premium Plan. It costs ₹1499 per year (approx. 20$). You get 4K streaming, English and dubbed content, no ads, and can register two devices per subscription.
