Small correction. Dostana is a Dharma film but it was distributed by YRF.Can we expect some YRF films to shift to star/disney next yr onwards? Chak De India, Dhoom franchise, Bank Chor, Hichki, Mardaani, Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, Bunty Aur Babli, Gunday, Ishqzaade and some others expected to move. Sony likely to renew popular ones like DDLJ, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Ek Thha Tiger, Sultan, etc.
So many good films like Salaam Namaste, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Saathiya, New York, Dostana, Badmaash Company etc hardly aired on Sony. Atleast star/disney has dedicated chs for showing diff kind of films and above all gives proper space to bollywood films
2015 was the last year in which both Sony Max and Sony TV gave great importance to YRF movies, and most of them were actually premiered on Sony TV (but smaller ones like Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! were premiered on Sony Max). Once Sony Max HD launched on Christmas 2015, it started to show all these movies regularly and at the same time Sony TV stopped airing all movies completely. But those happy days of 2016 are long gone. Sony should sell at least the niche YRF films to Disney so that they can be aired on Star Gold Select.
