Similar to Disney+ Hotstar, if you happen to have a monthly or annual subscription for JioCinema, then it will also get transferred to JioHotstar and will continue to work for the remaining days.
If you have an active subscription plan as per your mobile or broadband connection, then it will be valid for JioHotstar as well.
This means that existing JioCinema subscribers can now enjoy Disney+ Hotstar content at no extra cost, and vice versa, at least until their current plan expires. After that, users will need to refer to JioHotstar’s updated pricing policy for continued access.
