The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on JioHotstar: Date, Languages and Plans

The wait is finally over for Indian Mario fans. After a record theatrical run, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is coming to streaming in India this week, and it is landing on JioHotstar, the country's biggest streaming platform. If you missed it in cinemas or want to revisit Mario's intergalactic adventure at home, this guide covers the confirmed release date, the four languages it will stream in, the exact JioHotstar plan you need, and every legal alternative to watch it.

Quick Answer: Where and When to Watch

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will begin streaming on JioHotstar from August 7, 2026, according to PinkVilla. The film will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, as confirmed by JioHotstar's official announcement on Instagram, and it will sit on the Peacock Hub within the platform.

The movie is included with an active JioHotstar subscription, so there is no separate rental or purchase needed to stream it. The catch is the plan you pick, since Hollywood titles are not part of JioHotstar's entry-level Mobile tier without an add-on. The section below on plans breaks this down in detail.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie at a Glance

The film is the sequel to 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which earned more than $1.3 billion worldwide (The Hollywood Reporter). The sequel itself became the first film of 2026 to cross $1 billion at the worldwide box office, reaching the milestone in its tenth weekend of release, according to Deadline and NBCUniversal. It was released in US theatres on April 1, 2026 (Peacock) and in India on April 3, 2026 (IGN India). The film runs 1 hour 38 minutes, per its Apple TV listing.

What the Movie Is About

In the sequel, Mario heads beyond the Mushroom Kingdom into space. As the official synopsis on Box Office Mojo puts it, "Mario ventures into space, exploring cosmic worlds and tackling galactic challenges far from the familiar Mushroom Kingdom." Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach blast off to rescue Princess Rosalina from Bowser Jr., as Vogue India's weekly streaming roundup describes it.

The adventure brings in returning characters alongside new faces from across the Nintendo universe, and the tone stays firmly family friendly, with the action, comedy and bright visuals that defined the first film.

The Voice Cast

The film brings back the core voice cast from the 2023 original, with several new additions. Here is the lineup as listed by Peacock and Variety:

• Chris Pratt as Mario
• Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach
• Charlie Day as Luigi
• Jack Black as Bowser
• Keegan-Michael Key as Toad

The newcomers to the voice cast include Donald Glover, Brie Larson, Benny Safdie and Glen Powell, all of whom joined for the sequel. Their specific roles have not been detailed in the announcements so far.

Which JioHotstar Plan Do You Need

The important detail for Indian viewers is that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a Hollywood title, and Hollywood content is not included in every JioHotstar tier. JioHotstar revised its subscription structure for new subscribers on January 28, 2026, introducing monthly plans across all tiers, as detailed in the official announcement and reported by Gadgets360.

On the entry-level Mobile plan, you need to add the Hollywood add-on at ₹49 per month to watch the movie. The Super and Premium plans both include Hollywood content in the base pack, so no add-on is required. Quarterly and annual options are also available at discounted effective rates for each tier.

Devices and Viewing Quality

The plan you choose also decides how and where you can watch. JioHotstar's tier details, as reported by The Times of India, work out like this:

• Mobile (₹79/month): Streams on one mobile device at a time in 720p HD.
• Super (₹149/month): Streams on up to two devices at a time, including TVs, in 1080p Full HD with Dolby Atmos on select titles.
• Premium (₹299/month): Streams on up to four devices at a time in 4K with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on select titles, with an ad-free experience except for live sports and certain live shows.

If the whole family plans to watch together on a big screen, the Super or Premium tier is the practical choice, both because they include Hollywood content by default and because they support TV viewing.

How It Compares to Other Ways to Watch in India

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has actually been available digitally in India since May, well before this JioHotstar premiere. You could rent or buy it on multiple platforms, and those options remain valid if you prefer not to subscribe. Per IGN India:

• Amazon Prime Video: Rent for ₹299
• Apple TV: Rent for ₹399 or buy for ₹799
• BookMyShow Stream: Rent for ₹299 or buy for ₹999

The JioHotstar release is different in one key way: it is the film's first subscription streaming option in India, meaning you can watch it as part of an existing plan without paying per title. The film is not available on any free-with-ads service in India, and Peacock itself, the movie's US streaming home, is not available in the country. Rental and purchase options were also confirmed by NewsBytes.

What to Watch Next on JioHotstar

If you finish the sequel and want more, the original The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) is the natural follow-up. The two films tell one continuous story, so watching them back to back is the cleanest way to experience Mario's arc from Brooklyn to space.

The JioHotstar Peacock Hub, which now hosts both Mario films in India, is also where Universal and Illumination titles land on the platform, so it is worth keeping an eye on for future family friendly animation releases.

Update Note

Streaming availability and subscription pricing can change without notice. The JioHotstar premiere date, language lineup and plan details in this guide were verified on 2026-08-03, and you should check JioHotstar's own app or website for the latest listing before you subscribe.
