Not sure how I feel about this. Disney’s content is family-friendly, while Viacom and JioCinema tend to be a bit more diverse. How will they manage brand consistency?

Honestly, it’s a smart move. TV and OTT are converging, and Reliance is ahead of the curve. With Hotstar and JioCinema under one roof, they can provide some serious competition to Netflix and Amazon
