'Zee Bollywood' - A new Hindi movie channel for true-blue Bollywood fans

Known to be a visionary in the entertainment domain, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEEL) is a pioneer in bringing extraordinary content to its audiences. The global media and entertainment conglomerate is all set to add another entertainment ka tadka in the Hindi movie category with the launch of a new movie channel - Zee Bollywood.

Releasing on Friday, 31st August, it will be the ultimate destination for fans of Masala Bollywood movies that will showcase an extensive library of Masalon se koot koot ke bhari filmein. The Indian palate is spicy and ‘masaledaar’ which is evident in our preferences across food, conversations and movies too. Research shows that a majority of Indians (39%) love watching Masala Bollywood movies that are truly entertaining.

However, Bollywood as an industry is moving towards new age realistic cinema that is low on ‘Filmoglobin’ i.e. the X-factor that a Bollywood fan’s heart yearns for. Further, various television channels are airing South-dubbed and Hollywood-dubbed movies that don’t appeal to the true-blue Bollywood fan.
