The ultimate Hindi movie destination on TV; Zee Cinema was launched in 1995. It was a pioneering move to have launched a channel that showcased the best Hindi movies day in and day out and hence has stayed at the no. 1 position ever since.

Zee Cinema is available in 80mn CAS households and with close to 12mn DTH subscribers. The non-Indian count of households that Zee Cinema reaches is at about 5mn across America, Europe, Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan, Asia Pacific and rest of Africa.

Core Proposition:

The ever so familiar catch-phrase ‘Movies, Masti, Magic' has become synonymous with quality film viewing on TV. Zee Cinema is a leader in its genre and a general trend-setter having recorded highest GRPs since the time it came into being.

Library:

Zee Cinema's archive is a collector's envy. It has more than 3000 films from virtually every banner that ever made good cinema in India; the R.K. banner, Mukta Arts, Rajshree Productions, UTV Movies and a lot more. There are the likes of 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun', 'Munnabhai MBBS' and 'Taare Zameen Par' to name a few of the iconic names available in this library.

Zee Cinema has a fantastic record in acquiring recent hits at a regular basis. It has successfully created some movie properties in its schedule that viewers have appreciated much and wait to be telecasted. The Saturday night block called 'Shanivar Ki Raat Sitaron Ke Saath' and 'Cinema Hall' are much viewed. Some legendary blocks like ‘Double Mazza' and 'Movie of the Month' enjoy tremendous viewer loyalty.

The 'firsts' of Zee Cinema:

Zee Cinema is credited with being the first television channel in India that explored avenues in new media like online and mobile gaming. Another marvellous innovation that it has to its name is the introduction of an interactive 'break content' in televised movies. It released this idea with the film 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi', incorporating a break slot called 'Propose to Priyanka'. This move made history. It is considered to be a path-breaking format innovation in the business of movie airing on TV. Zee Cinema was also the first Indian channel to turn into a 'pay' channel.
