Both "Nela Ticket (2019)", "Munna Bhai M.B.B.S (2003)" and "Youngistaan (2014)" are going to expire from Sony soon I guess, since sony has started repeating them.
Youngistaan will never expire
 
Most of Star's banners have been taken by Colors Cineplex be it Dharma, Maddock , Zee has taken Junglee Pictures and Nadiadwala. Only hope is Hotstar acquisition for Star besides YRF

It can, if rights reside with PVR Inox Pictures later on.....there r some jointly produced movies where as per agreement rights shift from one producer to another after a certain time period

Disney-Star has YRF, Balaji Motion Pictures, 20th Century Studios and even acquiring certain other new movies like Ram Setu through special agreements. Also Dharma Productions, T Series, Red Chillies (which includes SRK owned, Madras Talkies Bollywood Movies, Eagle Films, Cineyug), VVC, Salman Khan Films r some banners likely to shift to Disney-Star very soon.

I expect NG Grandson, Ajay Devgn Films to also move back to disney-star once current agreement with zee is over as on basis on my observation just like SKF movies the success ratio when these movies got aired on disney-star hindi movie channels was much better. Panorama Films will also shift if Ajay Devgn Films make a shift to disney-star as i have seen both sign agreement together

Also Disney-Star has lots of old bollywood movies in its library be it thru library companies or banners and these get extremely good ratings compared to most of post 2010 bollywood movies which might get good ratings in initial airings but later on fail to garner required viewership.

Disney-Star is the only hindi movie network which has constantly focused on giving bollywood movies more space across its hindi movie channels thus building a robust , loyal, dedicated bollywood movies audience base. This gives them an edge over rival broadcasters and even banners would surely consider this while signing agreement as visibility , success of movies on TV is very important....initially they sign agreement with rival broadcasters and even get good amount of money for the same but if films fail to get required ratings then broadcasters themselves will not agree to pay high amount later on and even banners will look for a broadcaster which can provide combo of more visibility/ratings for their movies and justified price for the agreement/movie output deal

Except YRF nothing left, Viacom18/Jio slowly takeover both Balaji motion pictures and Anil Ambani's Reliance Entertainment too. they also have future collaboration with Maddock, Ajay devgan films, Dharma, Red Chillies, Bhansali Productions.

Adding to above...already Dharma Productions movies Liger and Selfie r premiering on Star Gold and even Puja Entertainment movie Cuttputli aired on Star Gold. I expect these 2 banners to also have movie output with disney-star , if not exclusive then atleast shared. Dharma Productions usually co-produces movies with various partners/studios hence according satellite rights partner is decided however since last couple of movies Disney+Hotstar has remained their OTT partner thus indicating towards agreement .

Also New Movies from Tips Films namely Bhoot Police, Gaslit r with disney-star (bth satellite + OTT). Tips Films just like SRK might be having dual agreements thus pld movies from the banner r with one broadcaster and new ones with another. However i expect both old and new movies from these banners to also soon shift to Disney-Star if not on exclusive then on rotational/shared basis.

RSVP, Vipul Shah, Anand L Rai new movies have previously also premiered on Disney+Hotstar .... Still remains to be seen if in future they sign exclusive partnership with a broadcaster or enter dual/shared agreements. Akshay Kumar's own movie production banner might as well enter agreement with disney-star considering good rating even his average or below average new movies has managed to get on their hindi movie channels.

Reliance Entertainment, Friday Film Works, Excel Films, Aamir Khan Films, Filmkraft movies too might soon shift to another broadcaster.


Viacom18 will try to renew more bollywood movies be it new or old but they need to air more bollywood movies on colors cineplex else most of these movies will not get proper airing. They need to even launch Colors Cineplex Bollywood HD, a new retro bollywood movie channel as mostly such films get aired in warershed hours on Colors Cineplex Bollywood, A New Hindi Dubbed Hollywood Movie Channel or include same in schedule of Colors Cineplex Superhits . If Colors Cineplex is made primarily a bollywood movies driven channel then its HD feed should become a simulcast channel with only difference being that some more bollywood movies r aired on it rather than dubbed south indian movies which get aired on SD feed. They can launch new channel for offbeat, critically acclaimed bollywood movies.


Sony Network Hindi Movie Channels r surely going to revamp soon, awaiting to know their new content strategy
