Yes,
Sony-Star merger best when compare with Zee.

It might not possible in India as Disney and Sony have vast assets worldwide, Approvals needed in multiple countries (like Disney-Fox merger).

If this merger happens they'll gain a lot across all genres/regions. Something Sony has been struggling for a while but always wanted. Long back they tried acquisition of MAA network as well but failed.

True if this happens only zee will gain. Sony will face some legal battels. Sony is trying hard and not smart. It should go with star.

There are two major deals going on in India right now that the companies desperately want to complete, but regulators and financial firms are doing their level best to prevent. That is why they are dragging on and on for years.

1. The Zee and Sony merger.
2. The revival plan of Jet Airways by the Jalan Kalrock Consortium.

In contrast, the acquisition of Air India (Express) by the Tata Group was very smooth and fast, wrapping up within a few months. Don’t know if that will also be the case for Reliance’s acquisition of Disney Star.

Zee and Jet Airways promoters have huge personal bank debts as TATAs have nothing. RIL and Disney might not go through merger due to valuation differences.

Sony has lost many good movies good banners now Sony max keeps airing south movies all the time so I believe this merger will give Sony the things they have lost
