Personally, I’m looking forward to HBO Max launching in India at the above prices. The OTT platform has a huge library of various popular movies and TV shows. In addition, some films such as Space Jam: A New Legacy, Malignant, and Justice League Snyder Cut are often released exclusively on HBO Max. Therefore, with Indian digital platforms, you don’t have to wait for these exclusive movies and TV shows to be released on third-party Indian OTT platforms.
