Indian streaming platform Hotstar now allows users to download premium content. In-app download feature has been available on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video for quite some time now. Hotstar, however, restricted the download feature to only non-premium and old content.

Apart from the download support for premium content, Hotstar has also added support for 18:9 aspect ratio - which most of the modern full-screen phones offer. Gadgets360 reports premium shows and movies such as The Shape of Water and Marvel movies are now supported for offline viewing.
