The app experience is pathetic . The video keeps on freezing all the time and streaming is not at all smooth. Even after I download something the video does not seems to be smooth it keeps on getting interrupted after every 4-5 seconds. I'm facing this problem from past 3-4 months but even after 2-3 updates the app has not able to resolve this issue .

india Just subscribed., Major things lacking., 1.Cant set video resolution universally in fire TV app .,needs to go to setting's every time I want to watch any video to reduce the resolution or it eats up all the data..its frustrating.. 2. No IMDb ratings on movies.. it's a norm on all ott platforms.,do you want viewer's to go to external services to know about the quality of movie., .

t Every content apart from the Indian shows/broadcast, doesn't play in a smooth fashion. This issue has been for a long time now. Need to touch/active the screen every 2 seconds for a smooth flow. My app is updated and for the concerned's knowledge, I have tried playing with lower quality as well as on different Data plans. No help

disney The content bus amazing. But the App sucks, the web portal sucks. It cannot maintain the high vidoe quality on 1 device at a time with a 20 Mbps WiFi. Netflix plays HDR content without lag on 5 Mbps. Watching it on laptop is nightmare. Same goes on Mobile/Tab App & also on Amazon Fire TV stick. Whats the point of having premium account when the video quality is as good as a VGA video output?

europe I have a premium account holder and I like my experience except the fact that this app is not at all data friendly....please I request you to compress the file size of the contents ....they consume a lot of data....I have Amazon prime video too and here the size of contents is much lower than yours....so I think you should too follow it..

movies Which genius in your app development team thought it would be a good idea to get rid of the 'save offline' feature? After the update I'm not able to download any files. That calls for a 1 star. Renders the app useless for me. Edit: this issue has not been resolved even after 3+ updates and a stern complaint on Twitter. I've lost all hope with the developers.

stream Using it as a premium member, and what you get is third class screen quality, constantly hanging in between at the connection speed is 100 mbps. Android mobile, smart tv it works worse everywhere, it must be really difficult to develop such low performance everywhere, Even the smaller apps are doing way better, failed to understand why developers sleeping on it. So disappointing so disgusting. HOTSTAR DEVELOPERS ARE YOU SLEEPING???

tamil I have Hotstar Premium subscription and I have to watch advertisements for each show. And those repeated ads are so irritating that I have stopped using this app. What's the use of buying that subscription if I still have to watch ads. It'll be fine if you give less contents in the premium subscription but don't force us to watch those ads. Have switched to the other live streaming apps and Amazon prime. Won't recommend this to anyone.

Using this for my Samsung tv. This review is only based on the TV app. Content collection is huge. Major flaws: # Not all shows/movies have subtitles # Video quality is above average. # i don't think there is 1080p or 4k content. Bad for big tvs # there is no way you can change video clarity in tv app # Not able to see live channels in tv app. # Forwarding or rewinding is cumbersome, you cannot drag the seekbar ## If they resolve these issues, then hotstar would be the best among others.

The newer latest version that has upgraded to Disney Plus style is not working at all. The app crashes despite clearing cache and reinstalling. The video speed feature is gone as one can watch at 1.5 or 2 or 3x. The feature to login with OTP doesn't work for me at signals doesn't come at my place and OTP doesn't come and also they don't have password support to login. They don't reply to the emails sent and also at Twitter they are not active & responsive. 1 star 🌟 till these aren't addressed.

Pathetic app. Even the premium subscribers have to bear the brunt of annoying 20sec ads which is totally not cool. The quality of the video keeps on changing automatically even at the best internet speeds. The idea of a paid premium service gets killed by such experiences. Better stick to Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Hotstar started on a good note by copying prime, but in March'20 it has hit a new low. Pathetic streaming consuming too much data. Even in that situation you have to see 7-8 ads in a 20 min TV show without an option to skip. Even YouTube is sensible enough to balance both the Data point & Ad feature. Hotstar you need to learn to balance, otherwise you will loose users faster than you will gain additional revenue.

2020-03-21T17:00:09.381Z
Pathetic!! Too much of advertisements and too long even if you are a VIP member. In a 20 min episode, there will be 3-4 break points and each time 3-4 advertisements of which each one is approximately 30 - 60 seconds and even longer. So, for a 20 min episode, you are forced to see for 25-30 min. Also, there is no option to skip those advertisements after 10-15 seconds. Disgusting!!! Remember, people dont play for such stupid useless advertisements

The app is good in terms of the content. However since the month of January the mobile application is having too many issues. The video streaming is very erratic rather than being smooth. At times a particular episode starts automatically from the start in the middle of streaming. All the issues are in mobile application so please use this quarantine time and fix these issues.

Why have you people removed live sports and movie channels. If we click on any sport channel it does not show live streaming . Only old highlight programs are available. Why? It works only if you have a jio or airtel sim because only these two have access to star channels not vodafone and idea. Shame on you . I subscribed hotstar vip only to watch sport channels.THIS NEW UPDATE HAS RUINED EVERYTHING. IT'S WORKING VERY WELL ON MY OTHER PHONE WITH THE OLDER VERSION.

Cheated, this app is bad no response from developers for any issue the screen cannot be casted on smart tv , alredy using amazon prime and netflix which are casting the screen without any issue here only audio is coming on tv screen and not videos subscription is just waste of your money beware dont download it as developers dont respond to your issues once you have paid you feel cheated.

Bad. Slow as hell. Takes forever to load. Netflix works amazing while Hotstar barely works at all, AT THE SAME INTERNET SPEED. The selection isn't sorted well. Search options are nothing, compared to Netflix. There are no names of directors next to movies. The video play controls are infuriating. Also, not much quality queer content. If you search "gay" or "queer", nothing shows up at all. Wouldn't even give the 1 star if I could give less.

The interface needs a lot of improvement if you have to compete with netflix and amazon prime video. And the following especially annoys me: 1) Inspite of choosing only english, I am still seeing hindi movies and tv serials in my recommendations. 2) The volume in news section is always on even if moving to news section and it automatically starts playing the video. 3) There are literally no settings linked to account, like langauge. 4) Option to hide various sections like news.

Lots of problem are there with the app itself, there is no delete option even if full access is granted or if the premium membership is over.., another problem is while watching TV channels in hotstar live, most of them are not shown correctly as we see in TV and we cant even edit our account details (Username, Mobile Phone numbers, except passwords).... even when our subscription is over or fully subscribed....

Suddenly you app logs out and doesn't log in at all. It says your region doesn't support this method of login. What kind of message is this. We are streaming movies in app and suddenly the app closes. When we open it, this msg pops up. I am a premium user and I have been suffering from such issues. Developer do something about this

Issues with playback. Have to disable subtitles every episode. Skips episodes midway and randomly plays orher unrelated series. No sink with chromecast. Not the best streaming app, infact its quite bad. Background downloading takes forever compares to other streaming services. Major Crashes. No Downloading next episode directy as we need to search through the app for the series.Needs a through checkup. VERY Very Disappointing.
Sharath Menon
2020-03-08T16:09:04.734Z
The integration with Chromecast is just poor with the latest update. App no longer eecognize the current status of chromecast play. The app constantly asks to restart the phone. Also with extremely high speed connection, the video sometimes auto downgrades the quality..I can run other apps just fine in the highest quality and face no issues. I do love the content , so please take it as my honest opinion!!

2020-03-20T06:52:21.494Z
I am a premium subsriber. Hotstar should take some important steps after the merging with disney. 1. It would be good if there is a button to skip the intro of series. 2. Most of the disney content are 4k. 4k contents should be available to all as the number of Android tv users increases day by day. thats all!! bug report- incredibles 2 doesn't have English audio
Alona Shiby
2020-03-13T04:00:24.266Z
It doesn't have enough movies. Most of them doesn't have subtitles. Some of them can't even be downloaded. Most movies take more time to download even though having high network. It would be better if there was filters like which year was it released, name of the actor, which language etc

2020-03-21T14:19:52.985Z
It is a really nice and useful app but the only problem i am having is the downloads take too much space a we can have a app downloaded intead of a medium quality video. It would go for a 5 star pls do something for this i would really like it . I would suggest that a high quality video should have the storage for a low quality video. Pls do something of it🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.

Video's quality in phone is very poor, even after setting it on high resolution, it keeps running on low resolution. Very very poor app I want to give this app zero star, but there is no option for that. I've to bear this aap for 1 year. Paid 1000 rupees and it's not worthy of it.

What happened with this app, after the update not even a single show is working even if there is no signal problem, I reinstalled the app and this time my VIP package got vanished, could you say hw many times I have to recharge my package even if the limited time period is not over.

2020-03-21T05:37:13.810Z
Everything was great, but the new update ruined everything.. After the update it sometimes just doesn't open and gets stuck on the splash screen.. Sometimes the audio keeps running even after killing the app from recents.. The new update mashed up everything. >> Ok, as your request, I've reinstalled the app. Let's see what happens now..

Worst app ever... There are more commercials than in TV... Interface is the worst... It's like u watch the program for 5 minutes and watch the ad for 10 minutes.... So much commercialized and money motive app than any other channel's app... They just care about their commercial never the customers.... For a show which is already telecasted in TV who will give this much ad worst worst worst app ever
Sony Thomas
2020-03-12T05:41:36.581Z
The initial update was a great move in furthering the experience... but today's updates makes the app feel like the old HotStar. Where did the KIDS SAFE option go? Secondly the clustering of MARVEL movies, Old Disney Shows, etc... was a good initiative. After today updates, it feels like the old Hotstar expect for the color change... what's Happening?
Yash Ashtekar
2020-03-19T10:22:07.225Z
Pathetic The earlier app was better, whenever I try to see any movies and series , it shows an error saying that media services are not available. This wasn't the case earlier. It is very shameful for a renowned company like hotstar to be so bad on its own homecourt. Not worth installing, I'd rather watch stuff on Amazon prime.
PRINCE THOMAS
2020-03-10T15:20:39.793Z
Good app, but too many ads means too many ads. Is this a social app or an advertisment box? If we are going to watch a 20mins video, long ads makes the video lengthy. So better to watch on tv. Realy disappointed. I wish they will solve it on next update or in any other way. At present i will give only 1 star.
Maya Thayil
2020-03-21T11:22:26.895Z
Your app keeps on crashing, that too paid premium membership... The movie just stops and got to reload again and again... Finally can't watch the movie cause there is a certain amount of times that one can "watch" or get acess to a movie... This is cheating!!! Both interfaces of android tv and mobile interface just crashes. I have lg smart tv, and oneplus 7pro

It's more confusing than before , where are the Disney+ shows ?? Either make a separate section for all Disney+ shows or stop updating the app , each update is make my it more and more confusing , we need shows categorized according to language. You guys are mixing every up , please make it easy for us to find what we want and keep them well categorized like Netflix does , Disney should learn from Netflix

Great app for entertainment. Tons of movies and channels. But they always ask you to go premium or VIP. It's understandable though, they need revenues and investment to keep providing the services. And they should really make older movies free.

This review is for the Hotstar app on android,not the service.I have no complaints about the service/content, except for the blatant self censoring. The app has improved a lot but leaves more to be desired. The interface is still clunky and finding stuff to watch is still a task. Better sorting options similar to Netflix app would be a great improvement.

Need Skip Intro button and optimised streaming, it buffers and gets pixelated even with high speed wifi connection if video is bring to forward. Thanks for the dark mode, it would be better if the dark color would been completely black. Need 1080p playback for Live matches. Please make the video player more sleek, subtitles a bit thin, these feel a bit clumsy sometimes. Please improve search results and add cast, director info of shows, movies.

Guys please note that your new app for LG TV Web Os is extremely buggy. Majority of the controls dont wprk most of the time. unlike the mobile app there's no option to change the video quality and most importantly the audio commentary while cricket matches are played. Update: the app is becoming bad to worse. No there's no option for a subtitle either in the TV app. How can you guys develop such an underdeveloped app.
Dev Anand
2020-03-14T17:00:25.617Z
After the logo change now documentaries are being added to premium which was working with VIP in all regional languages. Better remove the VIP subscription and change it to single package as premium. Utter cheating and waste of subscription. This way they are trying to earn more asking users to subscribe for premium membership. Time for apps to rule than STB's. Future could be worse.

I like the app. I'm a premium member. Should be getting Disney plus on my subscription. It appeared for 1 day. Since then it's not been there. Wrote a mail for which I got a reply. Tried the advice given there. Didn't help. Wrote 2 mails since then. No reply from them whatsoever...........

today I can see there is a new feature kids safe mode which is good , but other issues still persist. 1) Only 5 downloads allowed even for premium customers, u cannot watch more in long journeys😣. 2) if by mistake you delete the downloaded episode then u can't download the same again upto 48hrs🤪 3) And the most important part for few users is that there is no option of watch history reset, you can remove from continue watching, but if someone clicks on the show the timeline is not reset.

Just fed up with your system. I have created account through facebook and paid for vip membership and your app shows that you cannot login using Facebook. The amount has been deducted from my Paytm and and I am receiving your message facebook but still I can't login and able to access the facility.
Dharam Singh
2020-03-20T15:31:32.600Z
App is ok overall but lacks few important features, like my videos(previews) start playing automatically even on data and their is no setting menu in the app to change it to play on wifi only or don't play, and you guys are keep adding and removing Disney+ icon, personally I think separate Disney+ icon in the middle was great option and their is also no option to the search result to show only movies, shows, serials or documentaries, etc.

I used to love watching arrowverse shows on the app but since I updated the app the latest episode aren't provided on the app. There seems to be some kinda error so it would be quite a favour of you to resolve . Besides this new content issue I have found hotstar to be a 5 star app so it would be a great help if you guys can resolve this.

Just had a query regarding the app. I am a premium member, and i saw on 10th March that the Disney plus shows and movies were updated. However i can't see the Disney plus logo or the seperate tab anymore after the last update. Can't find shows like the Mandalorian anymore and the search has become really bad too. For example , if i search Captain America, only the movies which were present before the Disney plus update are shown and only if i open popular movies category i can see the others.

I wish there was an option of less than 1. Till the time I hadn't subscribed the videos were streaming absolutely fine but as soon as I signed up it turned out to be a different story all together. It's so damn frustrating and wish I could opt out now.

Great app. There is no media playback issue. Content is great. And the Disney collaboration is even better. But the UX lacks in departments like settings, login experience is pathetic, missing basic options like log out of all devices, can't merge mobile and email accounts. Need to improve such UX.

2020-03-18T06:16:51.420Z
Worst. Infact ridiculous and very irritating. First of all app stopps working random several times. Second ads Shou be skippable. One don't have that much time to sit in front of TV to watch something that is why uses this app. So that he/she can watch those things here on the app but if here also I have to waste my time like tv then I would rather like to sit in front of TV only. Better uninstall this app from phone free some storage. It is very irritating.
Devadutt Nair
2020-03-14T17:28:18.283Z
I feel this app is more like a Streaming Service for Advertisements rather than that of Movies, Serials or Web series. Initially Hotstar as a Streaming Service became popular because of the fact that around ~80% of the content were free but now In order to watch New Movies or series you have to be a member and for Non premium members it's just Ads.. Also the continue watching feature forces you to login to the app. In fact when you look at the subscription plans it's just expensive @ 299/month.

2020-03-21T18:07:04.913Z
I am using this app for many years and I am enjoying it.The only problem that I am facing is that the movies I download are taking long time such as 1 mb in 30/40 seconds and the movies are around 2 gb so I am not able to download the movie and my wifi is working properly I want this issue to be solved in the next update.

I wrote a review a few days back and got the standard reply to email them.on sending an email explaining the buffering problems, I was sent a checklist to do the developer's work for them.

This was very good to see missed programmes in earlier days through online. But one thing maybe there will be no time for watching full video.so some peoples think for watch only some main things happen but that was not easy in hotstar because of the continous ads per 1 min so please may avoid it or else play ads for some regular intervals pleasee!!!!! Thankyou playstore and hot star for seeing this comment

Earlier watching videos on hotstar was great fun but the latest version is like a nightmare..the streaming is very slow..the video quality changes from high to low in between, the videos keeps on buffering and buffering even after i tried watching on different internet connections..have once unistalled the latest version,restarted my device and again reinstalled it but the problem persists..its just like wasting my time just waiting for the videos to start..

When i updated the app few days ago it showed disney+ has arrived. So immidiately i took the premium pack and recommended to many of my friends about it. I had started The Mandalorian. But the next day a new update arrived. And all disney+ content vanished. So what are we spending our money at? Please confirm when we will get the proper Disney+

This app is quite data heavy when u r playing content, if u do not choose the video quality while streaming, on auto setting which is default , it's guzzles up 1 gb data in one episode, so make sure that u choose d data setting before playing, u will have to do this for all episodes as it goes back to auto setting when the next episode starts

This is a paid app but still why the hell do they stream adds in the middle of the programs when we watch on our phone. This app doesn't allow you to watch the programs for free so when we pay for what we watch they are not supposed to stream an interrupting add( that too several annoying times)for their own additional profit.

A couple of days ago the app was showing the Disney+ content, now it is not. Can you please confirm if the update has been withdrawn? It is horrible when I have already recommended the app to a lot of people with it. I think user recommendation work on actual content and not on one day displays.

The app is slow as hell. I recently updated the app and out of the 10 times I have opened it after that, I have been able to search on it only ONCE. The app just keeps on buffering. I end up reverting back to Netflix and Amazon Prime evry time, as they are way faster than Hotstar. Not gonna renew the membership.

It's just so annoying to pay for your prime membership to watch ads every now and then. I'm a prime member. It's just gets on my nerves have to see an annoying ad. Atleast you should give us the option to skip it. All other channels provide better services than your app. U r irritating more n more with these ads

Terrible! Every thing is all right except the Disney. Like what the hell! In my other phone the movies section is coming as disney. All the shows are there. But in the other phone half of them are not coming. Plz make a separate column for disney. And also I am a premium member. If you don't solve the problem quickly I will delete this app and I am sure many people will.

Wonderful app but company seems to loot. All other movie apps gives you alert for auto renew if it is specially yearly. Last year I activated when cost was 799 and I dont watch English movies much. Recently they launched new price at 399 something but before I could activate that they renewed at 799. This shows how you treat customers and loot them. But anyways by doing this you loose trust of customers I won't pay from next year. 399 is vip and 799 premium is majorly for US series and movies.

unreliable app..doesnt sync progress of video. when I changed my phone it keeps saying wrong OTP to log in when it is correct. Tried multiple times but still unable to login. Video also keeps buffering on 4G. After raising it on their support still no proper response. Their customer service is as poor as their app

App needs to improve. How many times should I see the same advt fot Master Chef during one episode? This is annoying. I have paid for your service I don't want to see the same advt 1000 times. No paid app has advt! Improve the quality of your app. I have not paid for the advertisements! This app is the worst ever!

Ad Star. I have Hostar VIP, and yet I have to see Play Rummy ads at the top of each tab. Also, showing 2 ads before each stream and during pause/play actions is pathetic. Prime Video and Netflix have much better apps, and even Jio is better at ad management. There's lots of room for improvement. PS Now they've added autoplay, the one most criticized Netflix feature... it's like you want us to hate the app.

Earlier this app was good, but now no other app is worst than this. Voot ,zee5, Sony LIV all apps are far better than this app. There are lot of advertisements it's like watching serials on tv in actual more advertisements than that also. And moreover there is no option to skip these advertisements.Worst worst worst app.

It was great earlier.As upadates came It is tooo worst as it has tooooo many ads means too many. First it was ok. Now if we are trying to watch a video first a 15sec ad then 20sec Then 30 sec. Seriously there was three ads on 1/4 part of that video atlast i stopped. If this is how the app will, I will obviously going to uninstall the app. It is metioned that the app Updation will provide awesome experience, I use this app every min nd im a vip plz consider.Add skip option plz

Lately, your streaming quality reduced to ashes and frankly, its very poor. All videos that i stream live on the app using WiFi or Mobile data isn't getting played and stuck up all the time. I need to download and play videos. Update this app.

Hotstar is the worst streaming app I have ever seen. With the latest update today, I am unable to watch the already downloaded premium content. Also those premium contents can be downloaded only once and so I cannot delwte and download it again. Do not subscribe to Hotstar Premium or Hotstar VIP as it is a total waste of your money. Better use Netflix and Amazon Prime Video

great app. caters to my football and cricket mania. the quality is so good. if u check the chmpions league or europe league games on jio tv the difference is quite evident. watxhing premier league on hotstar is a delight. also since hbo nd disney stuff are also present here, hotstar is such a great deal for me. more cost benefit than netflix or other subs.

Advertisements for a paid service?!?! Why are there annoying ads on the streaming app version?! I pay a subscription fee so that I don't have to be interrupted by commercials. If this starts happening on my PC, I'm cancelling this service. #annoyedcanadian

Can you guys come with a better update for this app? It's been days where neither can I download any video or watch it online Nor can I even log into my account (using mobile or email or fb or Google) It shows error while doing any of these things And the worst part, no help desk! Where are we supposed to report complaints? Kindly come up with a better version and remove all these bugs!! And make Hotstar worth our time!! Right now it is just a time waste!

Do not upgrade to premium with your cards, I do not understand how they done a transaction with my card without my authentication... This is unacceptable.... And due to the Corona/Janata Curfew bank services are down. Please be aware about such translations.... Hotstar please refund my amount back... I do not want any premium services....

Post the latest update, I am being asked to again upgrade my account. I am already a premium customer and my subscription is not iver yet.. Classic example of not ensuring all customer data is migrated to the new updated platform. This is bad customer experience.

Please please fix the search function. Shows show up while I scroll for content category wise, but the search funtion is completely broken. Even if I search for something that is definitely there on Hotstar, it does not show up in Search Results.

The app experience is horrible every time it hangs and videos are interrupted within 15 sec and app doesn't responds even the customer care service is worst dropped around 10 mails but still didn't got any reply even though i took a VIP subscription but it turned out to be worthless they don't even deserve 1 star. What is the point of taking a VIP subscription if I have to watch 2 long ads for 5 times in 1 episode seems like wastage of money don't go for subscription.

This app needs lot of fix 1. Give an option to go for next episode in the current video while the playing episode 2. Give preview in small box above bar when skipping video front or back 3. Make sure subtitles are on in all episodes when we play and give more options for subtitles as to keep the back box of subtitle to transparent or larger subtitles option 4. Remove watermark option of hotstar while playing video this only damages our tv oled display with water mark

This app has lots of issues.. firstly it doesn't allow me to download 5 premium videos. After 2 videos only it throws error. Then sometimes it consumes so much data that within 1 hour my 2gb data was fully utilised even when the video was played with low quality

Has the worst library. Is absolutely worthless. Can buy the most basic pack for sports, but that's about it. I regret investing my time to even look for any quality content. The money I dint mind but it is so disappointing I wish I could somehow give it zero stars. Downright horrible it is

They do not have direct cast option to the tv it is gng only through chrome cast.. Which is unlike YouTube Netflix and prime.. You have to go on the website and then connect to the TV which spoils the fun Hope the team will provide direct casting option from app to the TV.

It's a decent app. Needs a lot of improvements for streaming stability. However, my biggest complaint is that Picture in Picture doesn't work now . It used to work about 6 months back. I really expect that feature as a premium subscriber.

Although it is must to have app. I used to stream videos on LOW quality but i need to switch the video quality each time a new video/episode. I stream videos to save my data, as soon as a new video/episode starts its video quality switched to Auto mode but it should be same as previous video.

I'm having premium membership on hotstar but now due to updated app i m no more premium member and can't able to see all those movies and serials. Validity of that membership was for 1 year but i used it almost 1month and due to this app updation i am unable to see the premium show for which i paid. I think i should have to sue the app owner.

No 4k HDR or Dolby Vision content. Buffering and constant resolution switching even at 20Mbps. Horrible algorithm. New content is hard to locate. Search is bad. I am premium subscriber still have to go to search to watch movie in English language because on Home screen most of the Hollywood movies are in Hindi only.

This app doesn't let you watch in a same resolution. It keeps changing from low to high quality. It sucks. And also those who have purchased VIP pack should not get any ads in the free movies. What's the use of paying if we still have to watch all ads?.

In last updat you were added Disney channel. which was very good and easy to find videos from different genres, but in latest update you remove it why? I subscribed Hotstar primium due to addition of Disney channel only. This is very disappointing. Please fix it.

I need to report few bugs I've observed in your service as below: - disney+ section which was visible in the app is now not visible after recent update. - search result does not yield all the movie result available for streaming. - even having premium account, sometimes it doesn't yield English as audio language on the movies having English audio only for premium. I have tried to search disney+ series mandalorian which is not even showing as search result neither in web app nor on android app

Spending Rs.999/- for membership and now Premium content only downloaded once and that is only for 48 hours. What the logic of premium membership ? Why Hotstar decided, how many times and in how much time i watch content on your app ? Really frustrating !! Lack of Hindi langauge support to most of the English movies. Lack of Marathi content. @Hotstar please learn something from Amazon Prime Video.
