About
This dataset provides a detailed catalogue of television shows and movies available on Disney+ Hotstar, a leading Indian subscription video on-demand service [2]. Disney+ Hotstar, owned by Novi Digital Entertainment of Disney Star, integrates content from Disney Star's local networks, including films, TV series, live sports, and original programming [2]. It also features content licensed from third-parties such as HBO and Showtime [2]. Following Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox in 2019, the platform expanded in April 2020 to include original programming, films, and television series from major Disney brands like Walt Disney Studios, Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, and National Geographic [2]. The service quickly became a dominant streaming platform in India and also operates in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, combining local, third-party entertainment with the broader Disney+ library [2]. This dataset offers insights into the platform's content offerings and media consumption trends [2, 3].
