Here’s a quick history lesson: Originally called Hotstar and based in Mumbai, India, it was acquired by Disney in 2019 and then rebranded earlier this year. While it has so far rolled out to the US, Canada, and the UK, it has done so without Disney content, with an apparent focus on cricket and Bollywood for the benefit of the Indian diaspora.

Just as Disney Plus Hotstar has made Bollywood movies for India and the diaspora markets, it has already lined up as many as 300 local titles from leading Indonesian studios for its launch and the months ahead, reports Variety. The streaming service has also partnered with top Indonesian mobile network operator Telkomsel in order to “offer a range of very attractive and affordable promotions and subscription packages” to Indonesian customers, according to a statement from Disney.
