[Basil]

Subscribers of Disney+ Hotstar VIP and Disney+ Hotstar Premium will be able to watch a Multiplex movie on any 3 devices of their choice. When a subscriber starts watching a Multiplex movie, s/he will be asked to confirm if they want to start watching the movie on their current device. Once started, the subscriber will need to complete watching the movie on the same devices – Consent will be asked and allowed for only the first 3 devices. He or she will not be able to watch the movie on a 4th device.
