JioHotstar’s New ₹79 Plan Brings Hollywood Movies to Your Phone, But There's A Catch

JioHotstar has announced an updated subscription proposition, effective January 28, 2026. With the new update, the streaming service is introducing monthly subscription options, which will be available alongside quarterly and yearly plans across all tiers. Let's look at all JioHotstar plans, including their pricing and benefits.

JioHotstar Introduces Monthly Plans Starting at ₹79

JioHotstart monthly plans are now available across Mobile, Super, and Premium tiers, starting at just ₹79. Moreover, Hollywood content will now be included in the Super and Premium tiers, which start at ₹149. However, mobile-only users can continue to access Hollywood titles through an add-on starting at ₹49. This means that if you opt for the ₹79 Mobile monthly plan and add Hollywood content, the total cost comes to ₹128 per month, making it cheaper than Netflix's Mobile plan, which is priced at ₹149.
