Disney+ is now live in India, eighteen days early. Mere hours after Hotstar was rebranded to Disney+ Hotstar, Disney+ originals — from The Mandalorian to Marvel's Hero Project — are now available on the streaming service in India. If you're wondering how to watch Disney+ content on Hotstar, read on. (Per our estimates, Disney+ Hotstar went live around 10am on Wednesday.) That's in addition to content from Disney's back catalogue that has rolled in this week, including Marvel Cinematic Universe films such as Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange, Pixar titles A Bug's Life and Cars 3, National Geographic's Oscar-winning documentary Free Solo, and a bunch of kids' TV shows featuring the likes of Mickey Mouse, Rapunzel, and Timon & Pumbaa.

Over the past two days, Hotstar quietly updated its Android and iOS app to Disney+ Hotstar, featuring a new logo and colour theme. The new design never arrived on Hotstar's website and was rolled back late on Wednesday from its apps. For what it's worth, the aforementioned Disney+ originals are available across the board — on the website, mobile, tablet, and TV. They might be hidden from search but you can access them by clicking on the links below. Here's the full list of the Disney+ originals that you can watch in India, at the time of writing:
