I agree, Disney/Star Should Air South Dubbed movies On UTV Action and UTV HD, But these Channels Always Airing Some Crap Unknown Hollywood movies, if Disney Revamp UTV Action and UTV HD competition going more interesting

UTV Action should remain a Hollywood dubbed movies channel, right now they do air popular films on it but yes many low budget films r getting space too. Reason is ads fetch less price on UTV Action while airing Hollywood films on Star Gold/2 gets high returns
UTV HD will surely b rebranded, if i had been decision maker then i would have converted this to Star Gold 2 HD.... This way in current RIO itself this channel will get included....lcn changes can later b done....don't know why they r not doing so and instead waiting for NTO 2.0 verdict for new RIO
 
Star Utsav Movies Is For DD Free Dish User Thay Will Provide All In That Channel
Dedicated Movie Channel Required for South Dubbed movies, Like Currently UTV Action and UTV HD Airing Some unknown Hollywood dubbed movies, I Guess Hollywood movies Airing strategy failed, Better they Should Air Both Hollywood and South Movies every day on UTV Action and UTV HD, Viewers will get Many Choices in watching movies on these channels
 
YRF post DDLJ 25th anniversary and say tune in Sony Max and max 2 ,that'prove there is not the end of relationship of YRF and sony
DDLJ's 25th Anniversary Was On 20th October 2020 And Now It Is June 2021

SRK's DDLJ, DTPH & Mohabbatein Haven't Been Aired On Sony Channels Since April 2021 Which Is Enough To Say That These Movies Have Expired From Sony And Will Air On Star Gold Soon

So UTV Brand Channels No longer available in future:undecided:
 
Today UTV Movies is airing mostly classic 1990s/1980s movies. Perhaps Disney/Star can position it as a channel for older movies similar to Zee Bollywood and/or Sony Max 2. UTV Action should be the destination for South dubbed cinema with some Hollywood content.

From what I can understand, drawing parallels between Disney/Star and Zee:
  • Star Gold = Zee Cinema (mostly latest Bollywood, some South)
  • Star Gold 2 = &pictures (mixture of popular and offbeat Bollywood)
  • Star Gold Select = &xplor HD (niche and offbeat, but the latter is only on limited platforms)
  • UTV Movies = mix of Zee Bollywood + Zee Classic (somewhat older movies)
  • Star Utsav Movies = mix of Zee Classic + Zee Anmol Cinema (mix of pre-2000s and South movies which are popular in rural areas)
  • UTV HD, UTV Action = Zee Action (no idea, seems to be Hollywood-focused but this is not a good strategy, bringing South will be better).

Yesterday Gopi Kishan aired on both Z Anmol Cinena and And Pictures, today Karan Arjun on both Z Anmol Cinema and Z Bollywood. Don't quite understand why zee does this... I do understand that FTA ch only available on Free Dish rest r not but scheduling should b done separately as these r available across pay platforms. Zee is not using library properly
