Breaking ZEEL and Sony merger approved by ZEEL board; definitive agreements signed

[Abhiroop Ghosh]

According to me this channels should stay
Zee Cinema
Sony Max
Zee Bollywood (merge with max 2)
Zee Anmol Cinema (merge with sony wah)
Zee action needs shutdown.
& pictures is successful brand but I think it should get shutdown as already there are 2 premium brands Zee Cinema and Sony Max.

I think 5 movie channels will be enough to handle such a very large film library.. Only thing required is proper scheduling of films which is not done by any of the above channels.

Let's see Sony will focus more Bollywood movies or not

God forbid Zee Cinema does not start showing 3 id*ots and PK!

A terrible render, but still, God forbid! Could not do better than this. Perhaps @Sushruth.V.H. bro or anyone else could do better.

Yes 5 channels is enough.
Zee Sony can keep two premium movie channels Zee Cinema and Sony Max.
One Fta movie channel Zee Anmol Cinema
One classic movie channel Zee Bollywood
Then can keep & pictures if they want.

And about scheduling yes Zee not only in Hindi but also in Marathi and other language movie channels have bad scheduling they mostly repeat movies in Zee Talkies same with other Zee regional movie channels.

& pictures shutdown will reduce Repeat movies.

According to me rebrand will happen
Sony Max
Zee Cinema
Zee Bollywood will turn into Sony Screen
Sony Max 2 will turn into Zee Classic
&pictures will become Sony Prime
Zee Action will become speciality dubbed channel

This many channels are really not needed maximum 4-5 channels enough. This will also reduce repeating movies and get audience attention. People mostly avoid repetitive movie channels.

There is no guarantee of it. But hopefully &xplor HD is added on more DTHs. It should show more Aamir movies such as Talaash.
