Finally finished the massive list of movies for 2010. Now I understand why Star Gold Select was launched (just kidding): perhaps 20-25% of the Star Gold Select library was released in 2010 alone! Star has a whopping 35+ movies from 2010 alone if you include movies that were later bought by other networks: Veer (Zee), Housefull (Zee), Anjaana Anjaani (Zee), Kites (Sony), Paathshaala (Sony), Raajneeti (UTV), Do Dooni Chaar (UTV), Guzaarish (Viacom18), Action Replayy (Viacom18). Zee has not managed to come anywhere near this record.

Note that UTV and Star don't exactly share the movies listed above though they are both owned by Disney.

There must be some restriction in agreement when it was signed with UTV Network and as it was separate entity back then hence recently inducted Star Channels cannot air these movies until modifications r made in the same. Similarly Disney movies like Dangal, ABCD, Jagga Jasoos, Race etc. cannot come on Star as secondary telecast agreement with Zee does not allow the same.

Thank you for the totals! I had never thought of it. But it is clear that we have almost arrived at a Zee-Star duopoly.

With only few good bollywood movies releasing each year, 2 broadcasters r more than enough for mainstream competition. Rest other smaller or average films anyways will come here or there and it hardly matters. Too many broadcasters vying for rights shoots up prices thus not good either for channels or us. Also i feel soon Colors Cineplex will start to focus more on bollywood as dubbed movies are not working for it.

With Disney coming in Zee will face a stiffer challenge acquiring movie rights.

They are to be considered as YRF.

My thoughts about War satellite rights
YRF did a similar experiment for Lafangey Parindey its satellite rights were sold to colors and they had it for 5 years after that they sold it to Sony this can also be a possibility.

Iknow but i considered as srk movies just for calculation
