Amist the entire merger between Reliance Industries and Walt Disney, it appears that Jio has increased the
subscription price
of
Jio Cinema Premium
subscription. Reliance Jio has silently changed the JioCinema subscription plan which was earlier Rs 999 per year. Now, the company has changed the plan and it now costs Rs 200.
JioCinema Premium plan now costs more
The price increase is not direct here.
Jio earlier used to offer annual subscriptions only for Jio Cinema Premium. At the time of launch, the subscription used to cost Rs 999 per year. However, the company has now changed the yearly subscription to a
monthly subscription
model and it now costs Rs 99 per month.
So, the JioCinema Premium subscription now costs Rs 1,188 which is Rs 189 more expensive than the annual subscription model.
We checked the Jio Cinema premium subscription plan and the website currently shows the monthly subscription only. That said, users now have no option to get the annual subscription and going with a Rs 99 monthly subscription costs Rs 189 more than the annual plan.
We are not sure when Reliance Jio moved away from the annual subscription plan for JioCinema Premium, but it has now changed to a monthly subscription that is the only option available for users.
JioCinema Premium subscription: Benefits
The JioCinema Premium subscription plan which is also known as “Best of Hollywood” offers access to premium content from HBO and other channels. Users get support for up to 4 devices with the plan along with the highest video and audio support.
Meanwhile, the much-anticipated merger between Reliance Industries and Walt Disney has finally happened and as a part of this, both companies have agreed to bring together their India TV content and streaming media assets, creating a joint venture (JV) that will serve shows and sports to users in India and abroad.
Now, the entire content as a part of the merger is set to arrive on the Jio Cinema platform and the JV aims to become “one of the leading TV and digital streaming platforms for entertainment and sports content in India, bringing together iconic media assets across entertainment (e.g.Colors, StarPlus, StarGOLD) and sports (e.g. Star Sports and Sports18),” the companies said in a joint statement.
