India's streaming market just saw a major shake-up with the launch of JioHotstar, a platform that combines content from JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar under one roof. Born from the Viacom18 and Star India merger, JioHotstar offers a massive library of over 300,000 hours of content.
The service blends an impressive mix of global titles and local favorites. Subscribers gain access to Disney's beloved classics, HBO's gripping dramas, and a robust catalog of Indian films, TV shows, and live sports. With support for streaming in 10 Indian languages, it caters to a wide range of audiences.
Currently, JioHotstar allows users to stream movies, shows, and live sports for free. For existing JioCinema subscribers, the service automatically upgrades them to JioHotstar Premium for the remainder of their plan's duration, while Disney+ Hotstar subscriptions remain unchanged.
