Streaming in India: Netflix, Prime Video and JioHotstar
India is one of the biggest streaming markets in the world, and one of the most confusing. Only three of the nine big international services we track have a catalogue there, and many of the US films and series people search for end up on a local service instead. Here's what the picture looks like, based on the catalogue data we collect every day. These figures are from November 11, 2026.
Three big international services, led by Netflix
Netflix has the biggest catalogue of the international services in India, with about 8,200 movies and shows. Prime Video is close behind with about 6,550, and it leans much more towards movies: about 5,500 movies but only about 1,060 shows. Netflix is the other way round, with a much larger share of TV: about 3,540 shows.
| Service | Movies | Shows | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Netflix | 4,659 | 3,541 | 8,200 |
| Prime Video | 5,493 | 1,060 | 6,553 |
| Apple TV | 109 | 222 | 331 |

Disney+, Max and the US services aren't there under their own names
In our data, India has no catalogue for Disney+, Max, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+ or Starz. That doesn't mean their shows are unavailable. Much of what those studios make is licensed to Indian services instead, above all JioHotstar, which carries a lot of Disney, HBO and other US content in India.
You can see this on individual titles. On our page for Inception, for example, India lists Netflix, Prime Video and JioHotstar, while in the US, at the time of writing, the film isn't on a subscription service at all. FlickFinder shows services like JioHotstar under "Also available regionally" on each title page, but only when they actually carry the title.
India's catalogues compared with the US and UK
Netflix's Indian catalogue is a little smaller than the UK's (about 9,450 titles) but in the same range. The big difference is Prime Video: the UK catalogue has about 24,300 titles, almost four times India's. So if you've read that something is "on Prime Video", it's worth checking which country that applies to. Our Netflix vs Prime Video around the world guide compares the two in other big markets.
Tips for finding something in India
- Check JioHotstar for US shows. If a series is on Disney+, Max or Hulu in the US, it's often on JioHotstar in India.
- Use Netflix for TV, Prime Video for films. On average, that's where each one is strongest in India.
- Search the exact title. FlickFinder answers "Where can I watch it in India?" on every title page, and the best streaming services in India page ranks every big service by catalogue size, updated daily.
