When was last time sony aired its home production Saanwariya , i have not seen it even in watershed hrs.
Also looking forward to who renews Khele Hum Jee Jaan Se and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
Yesterday was going thru UTV Motion Pics filmograhy and there r films which r solely produced+distributed by them which will ofcourse move to star/disney but then there r films co produced and distributed with other banners or just distributed by them. Tried decoding how respective broadcasters got rights of such films at this time and who is likely to get them now thru renewal but unfortunately could not.... Too much confusion. Who sold satellite rights then and who owns now i just did not get the answer.
Rowdy Rathore is a surprise to come on star/disney as if Bhansali Production held rights then it should have gone to viacom18 bcoz when i notice similar co produced movies mostly i can notice that at that time UTV themselves sold satellite rights to broadcaster it had ongoing agreement with at that point but later the other producers got hold of rights and sold it to broadcaster they had agreement with. There were exceptions like Red Chillies or Dharma Productions who held rights at that point too and same remains the case now. Interestingly all films involving UTV in 2012 were sold to sony, i guess this was the period when star india agreement ended and zee agreement was yet to begin.
Similarly i am confused how sony got rights of Talaash (2012), if i remember correctly star india had ongoing agreement with excel films at that point and the other producer Aamir Khan Productions too had agreement with star india only exception being that Taare Zameen Par premiered on zee.
All in all quite complex to find out who will get to renew rights of such films
