Disney+ India Prices Spotted in Mobile App; Starts at Rs 590/Month

Among the streaming wars, Disney+ has finally arrived with a boatload of nostalgia and you lot won't exist able to observe a reason not to subscribe to the service. Information technology has currently been fabricated available in merely three countries, simply we accept found a swell hack to make Disney+ work in India as well.

Yeah, nosotros've already penned downward an in-depth guide on how to access Disney+ in Bharat. You tin can cheque out the platform for yourself (with a vii-twenty-four hours free trial catamenia) but while we were attempting to access Disney+ in Bharat, we came across what appears to be Indian subscription plans. Shocked?

Disney+ India Subscription Price Revealed

We too were shocked when we first saw that Disney+ is showing subscription prices in Indian rupees. The screenshot beneath shows the "Get-go Complimentary Trial" push button, with the offset appearance of the Indian subscription. We were flabbergasted on seeing the price and idea it must be an error or server-side fault. But, we were wrong.

On borer the Offset Complimentary Trial push, the next screen shows not only the monthly (Rs. 590) but almanac subscription price (Rs. 5900) just information technology was again in Indian rupees. Nosotros all were quite skeptical of the subscription is activated, but it went through without issues. This could hateful that Disney+ could officially be coming to India, but what about their Hotstar partnership?

A Standalone Attempt or Hotstar Partnership?

The aforementioned chatter is in stark contrast to the fact that Hostar will exist hosting all the Disney+ content in India. Endemic by Star India, Hotstar is essentially a part of Walt Disney Grouping and information technology is said to be localizing Disney+ content by dubbing movies and Goggle box shows or adding subtitles in regional languages such as Hindi, Bengali, Tamil or Telegu.

Disney revealed this partnership when information technology was first announced back in April 2019, but the only slice of content nosotros've received on Hotstar at launch is Avengers: Endgame. And if y'all visited Twitter yesterday, you would see Hotstar replying to every inquiry most the India availability of Disney+. And the company says it's working on bringing Disney+ to Bharat.

Hi! Nosotros are working on bringing Disney+ to India. The launch engagement is yet to be announced; stay tuned. Thank you!

Though Hotstar mentions that information technology will bring Disney+ content to its platform presently, we are guessing that Disney is going to debut its streaming service as a standalone platform in India. It would offer originals through its own streaming service but provide other content to a wider audience via Hotstar.

How Disney+ Subscription Compares to Competitors

If the rumored monthly subscription cost of Disney+ turns out to be true, so it would face a tough contest confronting some of the virtually popular streaming platforms in Republic of india. We've decided to compare Disney+ subscription plans against the newly launched Apple tree TV+, Netflix, Hotstar, and Amazon Prime Video in India.

Streaming Platform	Monthly Subscription	Yearly Subscription
Disney+	Rs. 590	Rs. 5900
Apple Television+	Rs. 99	Rs. 999
Netflix	Rs. 499 (for HD content streaming)	N.A (if yous multiply the monthly price by 12, you volition pay Rs. 6000)
Amazon Prime Video	Rs. 129 (includes Prime Music, one-day delivery, and other Prime perks)	Rs. 999
Hotstar	Rs. 299	Rs. 999

We haven't gone in-depth to talk nigh each of the subscription plans, only anyone could easily see that Disney+ is not the cheapest bet here. Y'all are spending near the same amount as you lot volition on Netflix's base plan but Disney+ offers access to better quality (4K) content. And not just that, Disney+ has the motherload of content – Marvel movies, Star Wars movies and TV series, Pixar movies, and a myriad of cartoon shows. Ah, so much nostalgia.

Disney+ has also debuted a number of original shows, but the higher asking cost could certainly exist a deal-breaker for a multitude of users. As well, the massive content library on Netflix (including favorites like Stranger Things and House of Cards) could depict in users more than easily. Some, on the other hand, will prefer Amazon Prime number Video and Hotstar over this to get admission to more than services or watch cricket matches respectively.

Could Disney+ Really Be Launching in India?

We have been using Disney+ for the past 12-odd hours and are surely liking the whole experience. Just, we are unsure whether Disney plans to officially launch the streaming service in India or stick to the original program — porting the content to Hotstar with some much-required localization in tow.
