Hotstar was highly subscribed only because of the IPL digital rights and now they have also lost the bilateral cricket rights. Now their subscription is declining due to jio cinema.

Welcome Asia cup
Welcome world cup

Excellent content! India really needed a 'casual-setting, smart-talking' podcast and this has really knocked it out of the park

🤚 Suggestions....
Don't jump camera so frequent unnecessarily, show wide angle view most of the time 🤚

the guy picking up the plate is like so calm and cool, witnessing all these millionaires discussion live. that guy must be having knowledge more than the average Indian. I would love to see if he can actually utilize all that knowledge and start his own thing someday.

That guy is learning as much as us

What did he say

[@Gen-ZGaming890]

But sadly hotstar is struggling in India and now Jio cinema with its good content is all set to rule the Indian streaming markets . Frankly , Hotstar has no good shows and does not often launches great films . People only bought Hotstar subscriptions just for watching T20 matches.

[@rayaanaaryan2684]

correct plus Disney have no faith in Indian Market ....it is Fox Star which was owned by Disney ...that why they are operating other wise Disney Shop was already closed in 2016 after Dangal release .........Hotstar depend on Cricket & IPL majorly .....but Mukesh Ambani Jio Strategy completely kicked the Hotstar in the revenue game ......plus hot star & sony both have Poor range of content compare to Netflix & Amazon Prime

[@bhadanisandip]

if you are including advertisement revenue why youtube is not counted. Maybe youtube will be bigger than all 5 combined.

[@divyanshsingh1347]

This didn't aged well 😂😂

[@rohitraghuwanshi823]

It would've been true last year but now it has lost almost 10 milllion subscribers since losing the IPL rights

[@rahulkarmakar6563]

Well, take away the English Premier League and you’ll be left with a pretty average streaming platform with hardly any engaging shows to watch. This became way more aggravated once HBO migrated their contents to Jio Cinema.
Not sure how long they can hold up with their catalogue of banal Marvel contents.
