Now that my semester is over and I have much more time on my hands, I have added two interesting sections to
@ak7777 bro’s satellite rights table (which I originally created, in fact!).
- Films not released on Fridays: In this list, the most common day is Thursday. Many movies such as Radhe, Shershaah, Bell Bottom, Ludo and previously Badhaai Ho, Gully Boy, Kesari and Mission Mangal have released on Thursday in the past. Other days are very rare. Films released on Wednesday include Sultan, Gold, War, Kalank, Bharat and Gunjan Saxena. For Monday, there are Laxmii and Mimi (and next year there will be Ram Setu), and for Saturday, the main one is Sardar Udham. Tuesday has only Sardar Ka Grandson, and Sunday has mainly Suraj Pe Mangal Bhaari.
- Netflix and Amazon Prime Video originals: These are all the movies that are original productions of Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, not all films released on the platforms. Shockingly enough, the biggest broadcaster in this list is Sony Max, which has the great majority of Amazon productions and several Netflix ones as well (but neglects them on TV). Zee Cinema has only Gunjan Saxena from Netflix originals, and a few others like Chhalaang and Toofaan from Amazon. Disney-Star has nothing whatsoever because of Disney+ Hotstar. Anyway, for Netflix originals, most of the films’ satellite rights go unsold, while for Amazon, the only such movies without satellite partners are Newton, October and Shubh Mangal Zyaada Saavdhan.
