"We're having trouble playing this title right now. Please try again later or select a different title. [ERR_PC_400]," was the message most Diseny+Hotstar users were shown.
According to a few Twitter users, the reason for Disney+Hotstar not working is because hotstar.com's domain name has expired. "Just read a reason why Hotstar has been down. Can't stop laughing right now. Domain expired and someone forgot to renew it. Woah... if that's true, this year's Diwali bonuses are already out of the window," said one user.
