DDF Exclusive SITI Cable silently premiered Race 3

[The Lonelier Island]

Race 3 aired on Siti cable in Assam's flagship channel Prag Channel. I was shocked to know that channel owns TV rights of most studios including major ones like YRF. Picture clarity of the movies are below average though. Also the ad scroll gets bit annoying at times. It's great that we users from Assam gets to enjoy latest movies in FTA channel as pay cable has got so expensive.

It's common in cable. In my area also local channels on DEN premieres the movies within a week of release.

Playing new movies in local cable is not new... But recently the trend has stopped. However some local channels still play movies which are some weeks or months old...

Yes, I still remember. During analogue cable there was a local channel in our area which used to show the movies very next day of release by recording them. Whenever any person moved through the passage of hall his/her shadow was visible on the screen. Even the comments was audible. Housefull was one of them.

This is a common thing in Pakistan as Indian movies are banned there.

On a side-note, Race 3 was easily the worst movie I watched this year
