Hotstar For Movies Sports & TV Shows Free Platform

March 20, 2020 by sirus

Hotstar is an on-demand video online platform where we can stream videos of TV shows, Movies, and Sports, available in more than eight languages. Hotstar is ready for use as an android and iOS movie app, as well as a web portal. The best part about Hotstar is that it offers a solution to the three major problems that plague us today.

  • Never having enough time.
  • Never having enough money.
  • Insatiable love for all things televised.

The idea of Hotstar was hatched by the Star India Ltd. enterprise exclusively for the Indian audience. It is common knowledge that the one thing that unites all the different generations of India is the television. Often mock wars break out in households over who gets control over the TV remote. In such a scenario Hotstar comes in as a lifesaver.

How Expensive Is It | (Plan & Pricing)?

Hotstar sports streaming

It’s absolutely free, in the case of both cost and hassle. There is no compulsory need to even register in the Hotstar network. All you have to do is either download the app or visit the Hotstar web page and go to town on it.

At the time of the launch, the Hotstar owners saw the only mode of revenue from the ads that they promote. However, the spread of Hotstawildfireld fire among the Indian audience has changed things up a bit. Now, to ensure the continued use, Hotstar has widened its horizons especially regarding the type of movies and series that it streams.

The Hotstar premium was set up recently in light of the launch of Game of Thrones, season six. At the cost of, INR 200 a lot of exclusive premium content can be accessed by the customers.  The whole procedure is blissfully simple – only asking you to register with your email id and provide some basic bank account details. The only criterion is the fact that the membership can be taken only via card payment. But that’s not much of a bother in the 21st century, is it?

Why Hotstar Is A Hot Commodity?

Who wouldn’t want the freedom of going out without the worry of missing your favourite daily soap? Men fall over themselves at the opportunity to stream international matches at such a low cost, watching your favourite movies at leisure and no more fighting over the rights on the television. Each person has unlimited access to their guilty pleasures. Hotstar gained popularity among Indian youth during 2015 Cricket world cup. Which became the Only Source of streaming for Office Workers.

Having a registered account also lets you load playlists of must-watch videos. You can even resume the streaming from the point where you had stopped. Hotstar not only streams the new episodes of a Show but also provides us with all the episodes of all the seasons of a show from the beginning. Planning on binge-watching your favourite series? Get settled with some popcorn and log onto Hotstar.

The Growth of Hotstar In India?

The biggest milestone was definitely their deal with HBO. After the launch of Game of Thrones and its subsequently becoming the most pirated series ever, especially in South Asia, HBO has been actively working on making it available to users on a legal platform, and as a part of that, they have signed a deal to bring it to the Indian followers legally.

From just having a handful of TV shows and movies in a few select languages, it has grown into a giant that claims a bounty of many of the most sought after TV shows and movies as well as sports in more than eight languages.

Quality & Speed

You can choose the quality of the videos you want to stream from an array of four options, 720p HD, 360p standard, 180p low and an auto mode. The auto mode adjusts the quality according to the specifications of the device the individual is using.

The speed of video streaming depends on the data connection that each person uses. 2G connections are said to have moderately good streaming speed but it is also heavily recommended that one use at least a 3G connection for a good experience and of course higher the speed less the lag during streaming. The videos will be available on Hotstar as soon as they finish airing on their respective channels.

How To Access It?

Hotstar can be accessed from anywhere inside India using either the android or iOS app or the official website. As it is a platform exclusively meant for an Indian audience it cannot be directly accessed from outside our country. If you do want to stream it outside India you are going to need a VPN(Virtual Private Network). Read carefully about VPN laws of your Country and Be Careful while Choosing Your VPN service.

Comparing It Everyone Else It?

To be fair, Hotstar app is a baby compared to other services like it, although, at the same time, it is highly promising. Nowhere else have we seen such a large variety of selection at such an affordable price.  Everyone can find something they love in Hotstar. This ground is filled with major stakeholders like Netflix which have been around for a long time. They have a foundation of customers that Hotstar is just beginning to garner.

However, it does have some very serious perks that can be seen as prominent threats to these much older commodities. Hotstar is on fire, and everyone better make way for its imminent success.

Voot Review: What You Can Watch On Voot?

March 19, 2020 by sirus

India’s TV landscape has long been afflicted by substandard content. Although the baby boomers may not agree, the young millennials have surely had enough of the extravagant settings and the extreme melodrama, and cannot wait for things to change. Furthermore, the fact that there are plenty of expensive satellite TV providers but hardly any reliable streaming services available, only adds to the misery. In 2015, Hotstar came as a breath of fresh air with great content, from the house of Star India, Star World, and HBO. However, it fell inadequate on numerous grounds, including the originality and vastness of content. The audience craved for a larger catalogue with more coming-of-age shows.

In 2016, Network 18 Media, a subsidiary of Viacom 18 (a major TV network) launched “Voot”, a neophyte in the competitive microcosm of free, over-the-top services. Voot is an ad-supported platform that enables users to stream Bollywood movies, kids’ programs, syndicated shows, and original series. Now, irrespective of whether you own a DVR-enabled device or not, you will never miss an episode of your favorite TV show again! Moreover, Voot is perhaps the only service in India to create original content entailing realistic and coming-of-age plotlines. It’s no wonder that this service has gained massive momentum in so little time.

What Can You Watch on Voot?

voot content

As far as content is concerned, Voot turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Currently, it boasts of a colossal library with over 28,000 hours’ worth of content, grouped into four main genres – Comedy, Reality, Kids, and Drama. The titles belong to TV networks such as MTV, Colors TV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, VH1, and of course, Voot Originals.

An important thing to note is that although the platform does feature a decent selection of movies, Voot’s primary focus is on TV series, including originals. Aside from movies and TV shows, you can also watch upcoming movie trailers, promos of TV shows, music videos, and spoiler alerts. However, the best part about Voot’s content is that it ranges across seven different languages, namely, Hindi, English, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, and Tamil; catering to a much wider audience, unlike Netflix.

How Is Interface & Video Quality?

We tried using Voot on both, the web as well as the mobile app. And yes, it does have the look and feel of a premium subscription-based service. However, the web platform lags slightly behind the mobile app in terms of speed (page navigation), design, and usability.

The homepage features sliders of trending shows. On top of the page, you’ll find tabs such as Shows, Kids, Channels, and Movies; these can be used to filter your search more easily. As you scroll down, you’ll notice that the content is cleverly curated under sub-categories like Top Shows, New Voot Original, Voot Exclusive, and channel-wise Latest Episodes. To load a certain title, you simply have to click on it and hit play.

Voot allows subscribers to do tons of things such as block certain content for kids and resume watching content from where they left off. It also offers recommendations based on viewing history. What’s more? In case you wish to watch something at a later time, Voot enables users to download select titles for offline viewing.

One issue that we faced was slow load speed. Whenever we tried streaming an episode, it took a few seconds before finally kicking off. However, this only happened at the beginning and not in the middle of watching something. Aside from that, there weren’t many hitches. In fact, the video quality was amazing. Most of the titles are available in HD. The streaming player is quite simply with functions such as volume control, video scrubbing, and full-screen mode. You cannot, however, adjust the subtitles or video quality. In case of a weak internet connection, Voot will automatically adjust the video to a much lower quality. Based on our overall experience, we can say that Voot has a decent interface with the exception of a few lags.

Availability and Compatible Devices

You can stream on Voot using iOS and Android phones/tablets. Alternatively, you can also use your laptop or computer for streaming on their web platform. As of now, Voot is only accessible in India. If you’re a fan of Indian TV programs or movies but live outside of India, you may try using a paid VPN service to enjoy the service. However, the app will still not be accessible.

A Quick Glimpse at the Pros and Cons

The Pros

  • Free of cost content.
  • Access to Indian reality TV Shows.
  • Quality originals and movies.
  • Decent interface and design.

The Cons

  • Way behind its competitor.
  • Errors during sign-in.
  • Frequent advertisements.

Final Take

It really comes down to the type of content you prefer. Voot is an ideal streaming platform for those who like watching original Indian content or want to catch up on the latest episodes of shows from Colors or MTV channel. However, it may not be the best fit for someone who is looking for an extensive library or a movie-centric service.

Spuul Review: 10,000 hours of Legal Content Online

March 19, 2020 by sirus

The charm of watching a big-banner film at a cinema hall will perhaps never tucker out. Nevertheless, who doesn’t appreciate the convenience factor in today’s fast-paced environment? We all like to relax on the couch and watch movies from the comfort of our homes every once in a while. The western countries have enjoyed a superlative streaming experience for quite some time now, thanks to stellar companies like Netflix. In India however, Netflix didn’t meet people’s expectations as far as the Bollywood movie selection is concerned. Hence, we either have to wait for a flick to be telecasted or download torrents sneakily in order to watch at home. Moreover, the countless B-town fans overseas also find it hard to get access to Hindi movies.

The good news is that there exists an OTT service that tackles all the above-mentioned concerns. As you might have already guessed, we’re referring to “Spuul”. Basically, Spuul allows subscribers to stream and download free as well as premium content including movies and short films in Hindi, and other regional languages. The service had been established in 2012 by three well-experienced people – Sudesh Iyer, S. Mohan, and Subin Subaiah. In case you didn’t know, Sudesh Iyer is also the man behind Sony Entertainment TV network in India.

Are There Any Paid Plans?

spuul price

Yes, aside from giving access to a fairly large library of free movies, Spuul also offers a premium subscription. You could either opt for a monthly subscription for just Rs. 99 or upgrade to the yearly subscription at Rs. 1500 (saves you a couple of hundreds). With the premium subscription, users can get unlimited access to Spuul’s content sans ads and even download them (in under 60 MB) for watching offline. Alternatively, you may even rent a particular movie title (pay-per-view basis). However, it only makes sense to get a monthly/yearly subscription since it works out to be way cheaper for the value offered!

What Can You Watch on Spuul?

spuul movie content

Until last year, Spuul’s library was adorned with about 1,000 movie and TV show titles owing to a partnership with a slew of production biggies like Balaji Telefilms, Yash Raj Films, Viacom 18, Shemaroo Entertainment, Phantom Films, and UTV Motion Pictures. Since then, the company has added many more popular movies to its content catalogue.

Aside from Hindi movies, you can also stream interesting short films, selective TV shows, and full-length regional films across several languages including Punjabi, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu. Not only will you find relatively recent movies but also blockbusters from the ’90s. Overall, Spuul has an impressive collection of Bollywood movies across genres but it does feel a tad bit incomplete. You will notice that a lot of popular movie titles are missing on the platform. This is simply because they may not have distribution rights from that particular production company.

What About the Interface?

When Spuul had just been launched into the market, it received a lot of flak for having a poorly built app that was laggy and lacked functionality. But if you see the app today, your opinion will surely tilt on the positive side. The company has invested quite a bit to develop their app and make it almost bug-free, if not completely. Spuul now has an extremely sophisticated interface that is also very simple to use.

The homepage displays three navigational tabs – Discover, Browse, and Account. If you click on “Discover”, it’ll show you the recently added titles, and as you scroll down, you’ll see that the content is categorized into sub-categories like “New on Spuul”, “Featured”, “Dosti Special”, “Monsoon & Chill”, “Movies Leaving Soon”, “A Comedy of Errors”, etc. When you hit the “Browse” button, you’ll find several other categories, mainly genres, based on which you can filter your search. It even has a “free films” category. In our opinion, this is perhaps the strongest point about Spuul’s platform. It makes it very convenient for users to narrow down their search and make the browsing experience hassle-free.

As you enter a certain category, Spuul will show the titles in a grid-like format with a clear thumbnail and information such as the release date, rating, video quality, availability of subtitles, and runtime. If you hover your mouse over a thumbnail, it’ll also give you a little sneak peek into the plot. Once you select a title, you simply have to press the play icon to get started. Alternatively, you may also choose to rent, watch later, or download the movie. We were pleasantly surprised that the streaming player on Spuul lets you adjust the subtitles as well as the video quality, apart from controlling other things such as volume and video scrubbing. There were almost no issues in terms of buffering. Video quality is excellent as the majority of the content is available in 720p and 1080p.

Availability And Supported Devices

Spuul beats its competitors in that it’s available to everyone, irrespective of location. You can enjoy the service using Chromecast, select Smart TVs, iOS and Android devices, and laptops/computers (through the web).

Visit Spuul

The High Points

  • Well laid out interface with minimal glitches
  • New as well as old Hindi movies
  • A decent offering of free content
  • Very economical
  • Available on many platforms

The Low Points

  • Needs slight improvement as far as content variety is concerned since the company is yet to strike a deal with other content partners.
  • Ad interruption while watching free movies.
  • Few bugs on the app.

If you love Bollywood movies or have been looking to stream regional content, we’d highly recommend you to check out Spuul. Even their premium membership costs a bare-minimum so you really have nothing to lose.
