Sony Yay! Logo size further reduced fewxl days back, i think it is next in line after Sony BBC Earth SD to make a transition to 16:9 picture aspect ratio.

Also guys do u watch TV5Monde Asie....this is actually an excellent channel offering everything from old/new French/Other Language movies, TV Series/Shows, News, Sports, Kids Content , Infotainment Shows, Musical Stage Concerts / Plays and lot more. Also we know that they air movies/ shows in uncensored manner apart from very graphic content which gets edited out. Also subtitles r made available for almost all the content. TV5 Monde Asie is one of the most brilliant and under rated international channels available in India, even ABC Australia is a very good channel offering various types of content. Wish channels like Arte, ITV, Rai, Blue Ant Media, RTR Planeta, TVE,,Canal Plus, Al Jazeera Documentary, DW German, France 24 (French Language version), KBS World , ZDF, Universal, TVN, Cinemax, TCM, TRT World, BBC Entertainment/Knowledge, Da Vinci Kids, etc. too launch in India

Also Arirang , NHK Premium, Channel News Asia, Euro News, Bloomberg, Rock TV, Clubbing TV, DanceTrippin, Juke Box and even Indian channels like Insync, Song Dew should get proper / wider distribution across Cable / DTH platforms

Watching Gangster (2005) on &Xplor HD and i need to say this that the experience is super awesome....just brilliant, outstanding audio + video quality. As much as i always state that barring Zee Cinema all other SD hindi movie channels of r having rather below average picture + audio quality but HD Hindi Movie Channels of Zee Network offer excellent audio/video however there is just little issue of audio levels on And Pictures HD randomly going up/down during movies or ad breaks and zee needs to look into and correct the required audio settings....apart from this the Picture / Audio quality of their channels is really very good.

After a very long time watched the movie Gangster in HD on a TV channel and must say one more thing &Xplor HD really is a very good channels and deserves lot more reach and popularity. It airs wide range of popular as well as critically acclaimed with excellent transmission quality and costs just Rs. 5 (with GST).... Total Value For Money

With all of Viacom18 Hindi Movie Channels now having proper distribution, they need to air more bollywood movies both new and old ones on Colors Cineplex. Colors Cineplex HD too needs to air more popular bollywood movies from past decades as currently these r just aired on Colors Cineplex Bollywood. Colors Cineplex airs just handful of bollywood movies and repeats them so frequently that surely audience would feel bored and not tune into the channel, they need to make the schedule have diverse bollywood movies like Colors Cineplex Bollywood has ....a mix of mostly new bollywood movies with some older ones, dubbed hollywood movies and fewer dubbed south indian movies would be perfect content strategy for Colors Cineplex....Colors Cineplex Superhits can continue catering to primarily dubbed south indian movies audience as largely such audience base have access to just SD channel and having more dubbed south indian movies on HD channels is of no benefit to broadcasters or viewers which is why bases on my feedback channel head of Viacom18 hindi movie channels tweaked content strategy of Colors Cineplex HD and made it a pure play bollywood movie channel with just very minimal dubbed south indian movies (premieres or some iconic/popular ones) and hence now serves the purpose very well of airing relevant content liked by its viewer base.

Also Viacom18 should seriously contemplate upon launching Colors Cineplex Bollywood HD which can feature some new and mostly little older bollywood movies while in that case Colors Cineplex HD can focus on airing mainstream as well as offbeat bollywood movies from last 15 or 20 years.

Also overlapping of movies should be minimal...ofcourse some overlapping of movies may happen or should i say same movies might air twice on Colors Cineplex as well as Colors Cineplex Bollywood bcoz former is just available on Pay TV Platform while latter is only option to cater to DD Free Dish audience but scheduling should be such that those getting all 3 channels get to see diverse variety of movies across their 3 channels say in a week and similarity should be minimal.

Also Sony needs to launch Sony Max 2 HD so that we can watch older bollywood movies in HD . Sony Max HD should be made pure play bollywood movie channel airing mix of new as well old mainstream bollywood movies, offbeat bollywood movies and some dubbed hollywood movies

Today 5th March 2023 "Kasoor (2001)" is going to air on &XplorHD at 11:27PM, Zee added before itself, before the renewal airing on 7th March. Anways, we will get 2 times the fun.

Hope &XplorHD adds whole Vishesh Films library, along with Jism series and Mr.x

Just want to add the above point that Zee edited out kissing / intimate scenes from the movie Gangster which again is applause worthy decision as bcoz of this good step one can watch the movie with family members.

As a temporary measure Tata Play should remove DD News HD or Tata Play Theatre HD and instead add &XPlor HD on its platform until they sort out bandwidth crunch issue

Actually Vishesh films done big job of Remastering with their whole movie library, but movies which part of B4U still remains same. Zee aired updated new version of Vishesh films movies which already video clips started uploading on Vishesh YouTube channel, else Zee never Renewed or aired on &pictures HD.

Very True. Remastered 4K version with enhanced audio quality of movies is just superb in all aspects.... Though even if these were available in original HD format still zee would have renewed and aired these movies on its SD / HD Hindi Movie Channels

ABP News is again airing most of the content in 4:3 SD video aspect ratio since yesterday evening

Benaam Baadsha will b the last movie to be featured on UTV Movies, will air on 14th March at 9:40 PM

Waqt - Race Against Time getting aired tomorrow on BFlix during morning hours.. This is one of the many good bollywood movies sidelined by Zee.....thankfully as zee has content syndication agreement with many FTA hindi movie channels so they air many of these but still there r plenty which do not get aired on main time slots across zee or these FTA hindi movie channels
