It’s safe to say that, in most urban households television has taken a backseat to the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hotstar.
After all, why watch whatever’s on, when you can choose your own entertainment.
Of course, sometimes you lose your Internet connection while travelling, or you can’t be bothered to waste all your phone data when you could just wait till you get to your home Wi-Fi. In that case, being able to download show episodes and movies on Hotstar to watch offline can be really handy, so we’ll show you how it’s done.
How to download from Hotstar on the smartphone app
Hotstar is pretty flexible with its streaming services, with separate content tiers for premium and free users. But even free users can download videos from Hotstar for offline viewing. Unfortunately, it’s not available on every video on the platform. The few where downloading is allowed have a ‘Download’ button below them on the left. Just tap that and choose the quality you want (this affects how much data it uses to download) and you’re all set.
Once there though, you can’t share that content with other people, aside from some perhaps meddling in Hotstar’s app code.

How to download from Hotstar using your PC’s browser
Sadly, Hotstar doesn’t let you download any videos whatsoever from its desktop website. However, that shouldn’t stop you should it? There’s a fairly simple way to get around….are you kidding me? Na na na, that ain’t happening.
Stick to streaming or downloading on the app people, you’re getting no illegal how-to directions here.
