Why Hotstar consumes double data or even more than Netflix or Prime Video for similar quality videos or I am missing something

Quality in PV: Good, Hotstar: Medium, Netflix: Standard

Older shows on Hotstar has higher bit rates resulting in bigger sizes. However, I do think here in your case you are comparing different resolutions.. While medium on Hotstar translates to 720p while pv and Netflix is just SD or even lower than that of the device is of Widevine L3 certification.

However, the newer titles on Hotstar are better encoded and even goes toe to toe with PV and Netflix... Currently I have two Nat Geo docs downloaded on Mobile both 720p (Medium on Resolution Controls), these are their sizes.. Both of these are on par with what Prime Video and Netflix sizes are if not somewhat better..

{"Device Name":"COR-AL00","Buffer Time":"2.5 s","Screen Resolution":"1080 * 2128","Video Resolution":"1280 * 720 @-1.0 fps","Video Id":1260065445,"Video format":"video\/hevc \/ hvc1.1.6.L93.90 @132.6 kbps","Audio format":"audio\/mp4a-latm @$48.0 kHz","Dropped frames":"0","Network speed":"61.2 Mb ps","Buffer count":"13.0 s"}

Any confirmation yet regarding Hulu's Only Murders in the Building streaming in India ?
Also, the plot feels very similar tu Zee5's Sunflower.
