Disney+ Hotstar is the go-to streaming app in India—whether you’re binge-watching Marvel movies, catching up on daily soaps, or streaming live cricket. But let’s be real: subscriptions add up. The good news? You can snag a free Disney+ Hotstar subscription for a year (or at least a few months) just by picking the right mobile or broadband plan.
Here’s how to get it without paying extra—straight from your telco.
1. Free Disney+ Hotstar with Jio Plans
Jio loves bundling OTT subscriptions, and Hotstar is often included. Here are the best prepaid plans for a free subscription:
- ₹598 plan: 2GB/day + unlimited calls + 1-year Hotstar Mobile (720p, mobile-only).
- ₹3,178 plan: 2GB/day + unlimited calls + 1-year Hotstar Mobile (365-day validity).
- ₹4,498 plan: 2GB/day + 1-year Hotstar Mobile + other OTT apps (JioTV Premium).
JioFiber users can also get Hotstar with plans like ₹999/month (150Mbps + 15 OTT apps).
Pro tip: The ₹598 prepaid plan is the cheapest way to get a full year of Hotstar Mobile.

4. Other Ways to Get Hotstar Free
- Tata Play Binge: If you’re a Tata Play DTH user, you get Hotstar access via their Binge app.
- Times Prime (₹1,199): Includes 6 months of Hotstar Super (1080p, 2 devices) + Sony LIV, Discovery+, and more.
Hotstar Mobile vs. Premium: Which One’s Better?
| Plan | Devices | Resolution | TV Support | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile | 1 | 720p |  No | ₹499/year |
| Super | 2 | 1080p |  Yes | ₹899/year |
| Premium | 4 | 4K | Yes | ₹1,499/year |
If you only watch on your phone, Hotstar Mobile is a steal. But for 4K TV streaming, Premium is worth it (no ads except on sports).
Final Verdict
- Cheapest 1-year freebie: Jio ₹598 plan or Vi ₹499 prepaid.
- Best for families: JioFiber ₹999 (4K on TV) or Airtel postpaid ₹499 (Hotstar + Prime).
- No telco? Times Prime gives 6 months of Hotstar Super + other apps.
Just recharge with the right plan, and boom—free Hotstar!
