JioHotstar, a new streaming platform combining JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar, is poised to deliver a wide range of entertainment and sports content to its audience.
On February 14, JioStar, a collaboration between Reliance Industries and the Walt Disney Company, unveiled its new streaming platform, JioHotstar, by integrating JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar. The platform aims to revolutionize the subscription model by providing free access to the majority of its content for a set number of hours monthly, with the exception of Hollywood films.
