Sony should make partnership with other channels like ad wise, cinekorn, aditya movies, b4u, pen movies, etc.Sony is very much dependent on goldmines for dubbed content.
Or they should be agreesive towards Bollywood like Star.
They are loosing 7-8 movies every month.
Well Said Bro . They do delay their Bollywood Content . Recent Example Mumbai Saga, they should have premiered it long ago but they telecasted it after 6 months of its theatrical release whereas Star/Zee , they usually premiere Blockbuster movies within 3-4 months of its theatrical/Digital release (Recent example Mimi-StarGold , Toofan-Zee). Plus as far as Dubbed Movies is Concerned, their stock is certainly empty. Except Goldmines Old Movies, they have no other content . I mean they can take hindi rights of Many movies like Udaan (Dubbed Version of Soorarai Pottru, Jai Bhim ) which were critically acclaimed and were well furnished with Strong Content. This will also add a good image among their viewership + We know that their PQ and AQ Is Amazing . Bring dependent on T Series movies is not a wise Decision

Let’s revisit my article from September, in which I have mentioned this problem:
Sony Max is being beaten at its own game by Dhinchaak, Goldmines Telefilms’ own free-to-air movie channel, which initially showed dubbed movies in Hindi but later did so in Bhojpuri instead. Dhinchaak has been lighting the ratings chart on fire and, since mid-2021, consistently remains the number one movie channel in Hindi-speaking northern Indian markets, where DD Free Dish has a large penetration. Many of Sony Max’s most prized South movies, such as Sarrainodu and Son of Satyamurthy, have moved over to Dhinchaak and now air there (in Hindi). Sony Wah — SPN’s free-to-air movie channel that is present on DD Free Dish and has a similar schedule as Sony Max (barring the odd Bollywood film) — has taken a severe beating as a result of Dhinchaak’s rapidly increasing popularity.
Aside from Disney-Star snatching the rights of so many YRF movies, leaving its already feeble Hindi library considerably weaker, SPN has also been badly affected in its core strength area, South dubbed movies, by the advent of Dhinchaak. The Goldmines-owned movie channel, as described above, has been a backstabber of sorts for Sony Max, which has been heavily dependent on Goldmines for its South movie library. Dhinchaak has been bad news not just for Sony Max and Sony Wah, but also other free-to-air Hindi movie channels from small broadcasters like B4U Movies, B4U Kadak, Enterr10 Movies and Cinema TV India, which have been forced to relook at their movie syndication and acquisition strategy to stay afloat.

Which is why Sony’s Hindi movie cluster needed the merger with Zee more desperately than ever.
I hope that the merger between Zee and Sony takes place, for the benefit of both networks, as their Hindi movie channels are not performing at their optimum, especially in comparison to Disney-Star. Viacom18 is getting new movies but it can do better with regard to distribution of CCB across more DTH platforms, and showing more Bollywood movies on Colors Cineplex, as otherwise it is almost identical to Sony Max in showing mostly or only South Indian movies. Otherwise only CCB and MTV are showing Bollywood movies regularly.
