No longer is Hotstar that streaming platform where you would go to watch Koffee with Karan, Bigg Boss, and that atrocious saas-bahu drivel. Since Hotstar started distributing Game of Thrones, its content catalog has significantly improved, with Hotstar Specials like Criminal Justice emerging from the platform. So, in May 2019, here's what you need to look forward to on Hotstar.
