In what comes as a surprise, the Netflix, while some remain with Hotstar.

Of the 18 Marvel movies yet released, including last month's Ant-Man (2015).

Hotstar has six: Iron Man 2 (2010), Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sony Pictures has the distribution rights worldwide.

This goes beyond Marvel films. While Hotstar retains the rights to most Pixar films till 2013, that's not the case for those released since then. Both Inside Out (2015) and The Good Dinosaur (2015) are with Netflix, while Hotstar has Finding Dory (2016). Over at Lucasfilm, Rogue One remains with Hotstar.

Films produced under Disney's own banner are also split between Hotstar and Netflix, similarly. While most films since 2013 are now with Netflix – the likes of Frozen (2013), Maleficent (2014), Big Hero 6 (2014), Cinderella (2015), The Jungle Book (2016), and Wreck-It Ralph (2012).

It's clear from this mess that the exclusive deal between Disney India and Hotstar is over. More proof came from Runaways, and the Cloak and Dagger.

Gadgets 360 has reached out to both Disney and Hotstar to comment on the matter, but we didn't immediately hear back. We'll update this story if we get a response.

It'll be interesting how this changes if its own streaming service, which is set to launch in 2019.
