The Jio-Hotstar partnership is now official, and the platform has been rebranded as JioHotstar. This new service combines content from both Disney+ Hotstar and JioCinema, with the Disney+ Hotstar app now transforming into the JioHotstar app (JioCinema also redirects to the same). The app is available on Android, iOS, and can be accessed via the website. With JioHotstar, users can enjoy content from both platforms in one place, making it a more appealing option for many. However, there is some uncertainty regarding plans, pricing, and how existing JioCinema or Disney+ Hotstar subscriptions will be managed. In this article, we break down everything you need to know about plans, pricing, and more.
