I doubt anyone in the rural areas can even access the internet

That's no surprise. Why would people pay to stream stuff that can be downloaded for free via torrents.

I live in the UK and have had Amazon Prime since it's launch. In the last few months, they've added a huge number of big Bollywood films. They have a lot of YRF + Dharma productions. Which is fantastic because in the past I have purchased films on iTunes, but it's not economical. Streaming is much better.
I also re-subscribed to Netflix last month JUST to see Lust Stories (which was brilliant) but their Bollywood selection is so poor. My sub ends tomorrow and of course I have already cancelled it.
Amazon for the win.

Forget torrents. All you need is kodi. I've access to all shows of Netflix, amazon, hotstar, Hollywood movies, shows, indian movies & shows, live channels, wwe, live sports, have I missed something? 😆

I've it all and i pay 0, it's all free and I've been telling you guys here but I guess you all are happy with single subscriptions with limited amount of content that too you pay for it

btw the content is all hd and the streams don't lag or buffer either

But hey go ahead and pay to all those streaming services, it's like i see some people renting movies on YouTube 😆

Hotstar has huge content... In comparison Netflix and Amazon have very limited library...

Also like they said - we assume everyone knows hindi or English... But hotstar has premium regional content and that is super advantageous..

I have Kodi on my Smart TV but I couldn't get premium content from Hotstar even after adding valid creds. Any tips? Asking for a friend.

I've not bothered with premium content of hotstar but there's a hotstar forum and if you're paying for it you'll definitely get it. What do they have to offer in premium? I bet it can be found through other addons

Get einthusan, world4ufree, neptune rising.

Ask here or you may find the solution here https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=241506&page=31

Hot Star also telecast Cricket and other matches like Kabaddi. Once people are familiarized how to use one channel, they are reluctant to change.
