The Jio-Hotstar partnership is now official, leading to the rebranding of the platform as JioHotstar. This revamped service merges content from both Disney+ Hotstar and JioCinema, with the Disney+ Hotstar app now transitioning into the JioHotstar app (JioCinema also redirects to it). Available on Android, iOS, and the web, JioHotstar offers a unified streaming experience, bringing content from both platforms under one roof. While this integration enhances convenience, there is some uncertainty regarding subscription plans, pricing, and how existing JioCinema or Disney+ Hotstar memberships will be handled. In this article, we break down everything you need to know.
What to Expect from the Content?
JioHotstar brings together a diverse range of content from multiple services, including Disney, Hotstar Specials, HBO, Peacock, Paramount+, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, and National Geographic. With such an extensive library, subscribers can enjoy blockbuster movies, exclusive originals, popular TV shows, and a variety of genres all in one place. This rich content offering makes JioHotstar a compelling choice, providing great value for money.
