Jio First Day, First Show: JioFiber to air movies on release day

Indian movie buffs may soon be able to watch the movie premieres in the comfort of their homes, on the same day the movies will release across theatres. In yet another disruptive move, Mukesh Ambani, in 42nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), said the JioFiber subscribers would be able to watch latest movies 'first day, first show' at their homes.

"Premium JioFiber customers will be able to watch movies in their living rooms the same day these movies are released in theatres," Ambani announced.

The RIL Chairman said this service called "Jio First Day First Show" will roll out in the middle of 2020 and will be available to all JioFiber users.

He also claimed that for the first time in India, the company will introduce a disruptive concept for watching new movies.
