Hotstar isn't going to be happy about this.

HBO Max is basically the Hotstar of USA. They still haven't figured out the UI thing. Almost everyone hates the interface and quality of service is said to be quite unreliable.

Nope hbo max will not launch in india in near future till contract of hbo with Hotstar expires.

There is a lot of HBO Content that's not on Hotstar. They can always start with it. And then update the library as and when the Hotstar license expires. Sonyliv is doing the same. It is pulling its movies from Netflix and other platforms away. All Sam Raimi Spiderman movies used to be on Netflix around a year back but now have gone to Sonyliv.

I think hbo is better when its content is managed by different streaming service. What they have done in india with tv channels is a complete disaster by hbo india management.

comments in that article suggests content deal is expiring soon.
