So the movie Bhool Bhulaiya which is with star/disney at present and which urs truly dino bhai had requested star/disney to include it in their library , it has got excellent ratings on each airing. This film was with viacom18 since a long time before shifting to viacom18 but rather it was hardly aired nor did it attain success. As i have said time and again star/disney hindi movie channels have over the last many years build a strong bollywood audience which unfortunately others have lost over the years bcoz of strong focus on dubbed south indian movies, there r so many good bollywood films which r with sony, zee and viacom18 but either these r not aired or aired in watershed hrs and most importantly do not match upto ratings what star/disney achieves thru its bollywood film library. I am 100% sure if these films shift to star/disney then they will perform really well.
Already u can see star/disney had maximum bollywood movies on schedule each day ( atleast 75% of the daily schedule consists of bollywood films and on most occasions this percentage hovers around 80 to 90% while on few times it touches even 92 or 96%). Sony, zee, viacom18 hindi movie SD chs on an average show much less bollywood films , 50% - 66% daily schedule of sony consists of bollywood films and on very few occasions it touches 70% mark while incase of zee situation is even worse as i have seen that on most occasions 50% or more of their schedule is filled with dubbed south indian movies and lastly viacom18 too has both Colors Cineplex and Colors Cineplex Superhits filled with mostly dubbed south indian movies... There r hardly 1 or 2 bollywood movies aired daily on these chs, on some occasions this goes max to 3 or 4.
Not only this but star/disney has much better scheduling, proper utilisation of bollywood film library and affordable pricing of its hindi movie chs. Audio and Video Quality, Graphics /Packaging of chs is also quite good. All i can say is if zee, sony, viacom18 do not start giving bollywood content more space on its SD chs then star/disney will happily renew more n more bollywood films from them. Without bollywood films i am certain that broadcasters will not have a successful run be it on ratings or business side
