Our picks
If you only buy one: Netflix. The catalog depth is unmatched and a shared 4K profile costs less than a momo night.
For cricket season: JioHotstar is non-negotiable — IPL and ICC tournaments stream live in HD. The yearly plan (Rs. 2,499) works out cheapest if you watch beyond the tournament.
Most underrated: YouTube Premium. You already watch YouTube daily; removing ads and unlocking background play changes how the whole app feels — and YouTube Music Premium comes free with it.
The cheap way to stack them
Subscribing to two or three services separately with a dollar card would cost USD 30+ per month. Bought locally in NPR as shared profiles, the same stack costs about Rs. 850/month — and you pay by eSewa in two taps. Browse the full streaming category for current prices.
