It has a good website design and it is really great at having a good database of other sports as well. "

It is a pretty good service for downloading some tv series, relatively unknown movies and an array of sports are also available via the app. I really liked that the service was free! With the free service though, the overall content is limited. So if you are looking for a lot of content you may want to look elsewhere, but if you'd like something free that might be a good addition to a service you already have and for free - then Hotstar is a good choice!"
