As noted, Vodafone Idea customers can now watch the content of Sun NXT for free via Vodafone Play and Idea Movies & TV applications.

“Sun TV Network’s OTT platform, Sun NXT, caters to Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam audiences having over 50,000+ hours of content and will now be accessible to Vodafone Idea customers,” said Vodafone Idea in a press statement. This partnership will offer Vodafone Idea’s customers access to Sun NXT’s exclusive digital content for free via the respective applications mentioned above.
Alternatively, Sun NXT offers one month of subscription at Rs 49 per month, but the Android app is still in nascent stages and lacks most of the basic functionalities. These days, customers are increasingly looking forward to entertainment in regional languages, and through this partnership, Vodafone Idea has widened its bouquet of regional content through Sun NXT.
