Industry Comparison
In comparison to other major streaming platforms in India, JioCinema has received the highest number of grievances. In May 2024, JioCinema topped the list with 526 complaints, followed by Netflix with 57 and Sony Liv with 24.
User Sentiment
The user sentiment towards JioCinema has been largely negative, with many expressing their disappointment on various platforms. One user commented on MouthShut.com, “It reflects poorly on Jio Cinema to keep its customers in dark. The content currently available is very ordinary one. It seems Jio is just interested to rake up numbers.”
JioCinema’s inability to resolve user grievances in a timely manner has raised concerns about the platform’s commitment to customer satisfaction. With a growing number of complaints and a lack of effective redressal mechanisms, the platform may face challenges in retaining its user base and maintaining its reputation in the highly competitive Indian streaming market.
