Discussion Does anyone really Hotstar subscribe hotstar in its original yearly cost?

[Bapun]

My hotstar annum subscription has been expired today. They sent me a mail quoting a discount pricing of 999 which i had even paid last year.

Screenshot of the mail:

Hostar faq (Frequently Asked Questions & Queries - hotstar.com) page says the following:

We offer 2 plans for Premium membership. A deeply discounted yearly plan for Rs. 999 or a monthly recurring plan for Rs. 199. The Rs. 199 plan comes with a 7 day trial period, you'll be charged upfront but if you cancel within the first 7 days, you'll receive a full refund.

After reading the 999 price everywhere as discounted i want to know if anyone really does subscribe the service at original cost i.e. 2,388 per year?

Bro First Time I also Saw Hotstar Subscription 999 is Discounted, real price is 2388. Because I never saw this price. In app I always view its showing 999 yearly highest subscription plan since many years.

That is exactly how the question arises. If no one really can subscribe at original cost how come they have been saying heavily discontinued cost. It should be the regular cost. I guess they are just using the original amount for the sake of discount mention!

It's called inflatable price bro.

Bro it's nothing but 199 × 12 = 2388, just like a ARP discount yearly pack costs only Rs.999/-.

Only a Monthly subscriber will incur 2388 per year.

What they mean is that the monthly is 199 Rs/- which 199*12=2388 rupees, so they are saying when you pay yearly you save far more than paying on a month-to-month basis.
