Premium content is also free on JioHotstar, there is a plan to challenge Netflix!

OTT platforms have become a major means of entertainment for people, after the merger of Disney, Reliance, and Viacom18 was completed last year, there was a buzz that the JioHotstar app would be launched soon for users. Your wait is now over because you will now be able to watch the content of Jio Cinema and Disney Plus Hotstar on a single app and the name of this app is Jio Hotstar.

The name of Disney Plus Hotstar has been updated in Google Play Store and Apple App Store, now you will see this app by the name Jio Hotstar. One thing to note here is that those who were running the Jio Cinema app will now also be redirected to the Jio Hotstar app. In simple language, this means that as soon as you click on any video in the Jio Cinema app, you will reach the Jio Hotstar app directly.

The content on JioHotstar is absolutely free.

When we tried to play premium content on Jio Hotstar without buying a subscription, the video started playing. This makes one thing clear that in the beginning, you will be able to watch premium content for free on Jio Hotstar.

The company is planning to revamp its subscription model but according to ET's report, JioStar's Chief Executive Officer Kiran Mani says that JioHotstar invites everyone to watch their favorite content without a subscription. We want users to be able to enjoy everything from cricket matches to popular TV series on JioHotstar.

It is not clear yet whether all the content will be free or the free content will be provided only for a limited time. But according to media reports, users will have to see ads in the free content but if you buy a subscription, you will get high resolution video quality with ad-free experience.
