Yipppeee! Tomorrow's schedule of star/disney hindi movie chs filled with bollywood movies all day, just 1 dubbed south indian movie.

Must say sony also improving a lot but on some occasions still they r dubbed South Indian movies heavy.... Just hope that they keep increasing bollywood content and acquire more films.

Post sony-zee merger it will b difficult to redraw content strategy for their hindi movie chs considering the fact that i do not see T Series or Goldmines be ready to make changes in current agreement with sony and include zee in it as a partner

Few weekss back had shared feedback with hindi movie cluster head of viacom18 regarding giving more slots to bollywood films on colors cineplex hd or making it a pure play bollywood channel and seems like they r implementing some changes now as evident in scheduling in next few days. Had also mentioned in feedback that Colors Cineplex should b made a secondary bollywood movie channel once Rishtey Cineplex and CCB gets proper distribution across platforms

Yes. I did notice 2-3 bollywood films on HD variant but next day they were back to their scheduling. However, still they are at least scheduling 2 bollywood movies these days. Might be they are experimenting to see results. Colors cineplex has good bollywood library and should undoubtedly use their HD feed to air the same.

True, few weeks back i even gave this feedback to their hindi movie cluster head on twitter. Adding to this, Colors Cineplex Bollywood is doing fab job and constantly acquiring more bollywood films, now their schedule looks promising.... Tata Sky, D2H users r missing out on this good channel and even And Xplor

Star/disney airing classic bollywood films in watershed hours and most of these r recently acquired from Shemaroo, Ultra. I believe they r doing test run and formally include these in proper slots later on current or a new classic movie channel

Also i see star/disney retiring most of dubbed south indian movies and these shifting to Dhinchaak.... They r on repeat mode, also thru this they will get clear idea how much ratings dubbed or bollywood movies r giving them... One day schedule filled with bollywood films, others days equal ratio between dubbed and bollywood and rest few days ratio skewed to dubbed south indian films.

Quite possible that UTV Movies, UTV Action, Marvel HQ will revamp on 11th or soon... Schedule ain't available for UTV Action from 11th onwards

Yes, &xplorHD is badly needed. Have made many requests to Tata sky but no luck.

@dino29 bro. What was so special about Discovery Jeet? I will have Discovery ID over Jeet anyday. Same is the case of Nat Geo Music. It kept on playing same songs every day on repeat until it's shutdown. It never had a big library. This is why it never ads.
