HBO itself is working as Cinemax in India! No need for another one.

So what about WB?

I don't think it will be a fair comparison. The TV landscapes in India and the U.S. are vastly different. There are several premium networks in the U.S. which are available in HD and usually contain no advertisements during movies.

AT&T/WarnerMedia
If you subscribe to HBO for $14.99/mo (approx ₹1125), you get the live channels HBO, HBO2, HBO Signature, HBO Comedy, HBO Family, HBO Zone, and HBO Latino. Depending on the provider, you may also get access to the new OTT streaming service HBO Max.
Similarly, Cinemax is available for $13.99/mo (approx ₹1050) and includes the channels Cinemax, MoreMAX, ActionMAX, 5StarMAX, MovieMAX, ThrillerMAX, and Cinemáx.
AT&T also operates the channel Turner Classic Movies.

ViacomCBS
If you subscribe to Showtime for $13.99/mo (approx ₹1050), you get the channels Showtime, Showtime 2, Showtime Showcase, Showtime Extreme, Showtime Beyond, Showtime Next, and Showtime Women.
ViacomCBS also operates the channels The Movie Channel, The Movie Channel Xtra, Flix, and Paramount Channel.

Lionsgate
If you subscribe to STARZ for $13.99/mo (approx ₹1050), you get the channels STARZ, STARZ Kids & Family, STARZ Comedy, STARZ Edge, STARZ in Black, STARZ Cinema, STARZ Encore, STARZ Encore Classic, STARZ Encore Westerns, STARZ Encore Suspense, STARZ Encore Black, STARZ Encore Action, and STARZ Encore Family.
Lionsgate also operates the channels MoviePlex, IndiePlex, and RetroPlex.

MGM operates the channels EPIX, EPIX 2, EPIX Hits, and MGM.
AMC Networks operates the channels SundanceTV, IFC, and AMC.
Sony Pictures operates the channel Sony Movie Channel.

most of the english movie channels in India are from the US
and even some of them were once available here are not available now (Ex: Hallmark Channel)

we have HBO, WB, Star Movies, MN+, Star Movies Select HD, &Flix, Movies Now 1&2, Sony Pix

main movie channels in US
HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz, AMC, Fox Movies (FXM), TCM, TNT, Sony Movies, Hallmark Movies
also there are GECs like syfy, freeform, E! who telecasts good movies
also there are local movie channels for their cable operators who telecast good movies based on demand or randomly (ex: DirecTV)

mostly these channels have the movies we see here in India with exceptions like TCM, TNT, Hallmark (their movie library is vast and completely different)

but the main issue for them is they telecast content based on geolocation but not uniform like India and also they charge more for cable
and thats why most of the people there use netflix as mainstream instead of cable

No, subtitles are never standard on American TV channels, but optional closed captions can be turned on/off by the viewer.

This is very true. OTT streaming and video services are taking over in the U.S., while cable TV and DTH is in decline. Many pros: better picture and sound quality (e.g., 4K UHD, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos), no advertisements, watch and resume at your own convenience on any devices and from anywhere, more subtitle and audio options, and much more affordable.
