JioCinema is an Indian subscription based video-on-demand and over-the-top media streaming service owned by JioStar, that is a joint venture (formed in November 2024) between Reliance Industries through its subsidiary Viacom18 and Disney India. The service was initially launched on 4 May 2016 alongside the public launch of the Jio mobile carrier.
In April 2022, the service was brought under Reliance's Viacom18 joint venture, backed by new funding from Uday Shankar and James Murdoch's Bodhi Tree Systems. JioCinema began to subsume Viacom18's existing streaming platform Voot later that year, beginning with sports programming in October, and Voot being officially discontinued in favour of JioCinema in August 2023.
