Free trial
Disney+ Hotstar is now JioHotstar in India (following the JioCinema merger) and does not advertise a standard free trial — it sells monthly and annual plans. Free or discounted access comes through Jio/Airtel carrier bundles and occasional promotions rather than a trial, so availability depends on region and offer.
