YES. Official voting on Hotstar, JioCinema, and missed calls is 100% FREE. Never pay anyone for votes. Anyone asking for money, UPI, or payment for votes is a SCAM. Report them to report@biggbosstelugu10vote.com.

Disney+ Hotstar and JioCinema require an Indian phone number for OTP verification. If you have an active Indian number with roaming, you can vote. VPNs may work for streaming but OTP requires Indian SIM. Missed call/SMS only work from Indian numbers.

Both give 50 votes/day. Hotstar is the official partner with better app stability. JioCinema is free for Jio users. Use both to maximize your 100 daily votes. Missed call is good backup if apps fail.
