Vodafone Idea (Vi), a leading Indian telecom operator, has removed its in-house OTT (over-the-top) offering Vi Movies & TV from all its prepaid plans. None of the prepaid plans on the telco's website or mobile app show the benefit of Vi Movies & TV. This may have been done to encourage more users to purchase a paid subscription to the platform. The telco recently introduced this plan in the hope of attracting more paying customers. Please note that Vi Movies & TV is an OTT aggregator, which means that the platform does not invest in creating original TV shows or movies, but bundles many different OTT platforms into a single login. Let's take a look at the premium plan offered by Vi Movies & TV.

Vi MTV Pro subscription
Vodafone Idea is offering customers a Vi MTV Pro plan to choose from at Rs 202 per month. There is no option to charge annually at a reduced rate. This means that Vi The premium subscription for TV and movies costs over Rs 2400 per year which is quite expensive to be honest. However, it offers many great benefits to the customers.
These are all the platforms bundled for the customers under the Vi MTV Pro subscription: Disney+ Hotstar, SonyLIV, Manorama Max, FanCode, NammaFlix, Chaupal, Klikk, PlayFlix, Warner Bros Discovery, DistroTV, ShemarooMe, Hungama, NexGTV and YuppTV.

So there are a total of 14 premium platforms included in this subscription. From that perspective you save a lot of money. However, if the content on most of these platforms doesn't interest you, it's probably better to go for a standalone subscription to the platform you like.
Otherwise, there are plenty of alternative platforms like this one for users to choose from. Airtel, Jio and Tata Play offer a similar OTT aggregation service for monthly fees. You can check that too.
