Hey guys,

I’ve recently gotten completely hooked on the 2013 Mahabharat series. It has become my absolute go-to routine to unwind and decompress right after my 9-to-5 job.

The problem is, while the Hindi version is up on JioHotstar, the Telugu dubbed version (Mahabharatham) seems completely missing. I know it has faced music copyright issues in the past, but watching it in Hindi just isn't the same.

Does anyone have a working link or know another platform streaming it?

Also, if anyone from the Jio Hotstar team throws an eye on this sub, please look into this and bring the Telugu version back! It has a massive regional fanbase waiting to rewatch it.

Appreciate any leads!

It appears that Disney+ in Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia may soon be integrated into the main global Disney+ platform.

Over the past few days, Thai, Indonesian, and Malay dubbing/subtitle tracks have started appearing on selected movies and episodes. So far, however, I haven’t seen any Thai subtitle option yet. The rollout of these additional language options will likely continue gradually over the coming weeks.

Here are some examples where these language tracks are already available:

Series

• Agatha All Along (Thai)
• Andor (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• A Shop for Killers (Thai)
• Big Mouth (Thai)
• High Potential (Thai)
• Percy Jackson and the Olympians (Thai)
• Phineas and Ferb (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• Pupstruction (Malay)
• RoboGobo (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• Scrubs (Thai)
• Star Wars: The Bad Batch (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• The Book of Boba Fett (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• The Owl House (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• Quack Pack (Thai, Indonesian)

Movies

• 101 Dalmatians (1996) (Thai)
• Avalon High (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• Cinderella (1950) (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• Disenchanted (Thai)
• Freaky Friday (2003) (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• Hannah Montana: The Movie (Indonesian)
• Hocus Pocus 2 (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• LEGO Disney Princess: Villains Unite (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• Mary Poppins (Indonesian)
• Peter Pan (1953) (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• Pinocchio (1940) (Thai)
• Pretty Woman (Thai, Indonesian)
• Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Thai)
• Sister Act (Thai)
• Sneakerella (Thai, Indonesian, Malay)
• TRON: Ares (Thai)

The big question now is when exactly this transition will officially happen.

Allowing these regions to run through the main Disney+ platform is long overdue in my opinion. Hopefully the Philippines, Africa, and the Middle East will eventually follow as well. Consolidating everything into the global platform would remove a lot of unnecessary duplicate infrastructure and streamline the service considerably.

P.S. One interesting detail: in the mobile app, “Bahasa Indonesia” is simply labeled as “Indonesian,” unlike on desktop. Meanwhile, “Bahasa Melayu” appears to be labeled consistently across all platforms.

Has anyone else noticed the huge increase in ads after the meger of Hotstar with Reliance Industries?
It’s becoming impossible to watch a single movie peacefully. Press any button — two ads. Resume the movie — more ads again. The viewing experience has honestly become frustrating now.
