    Zee Café brings 10 iconic shows that will forever be a favourite on your binge-list

    MUMBAI:  Does staying home and spending time together with family during the lockdown remind you of the old days when everyone would come together sharing laugh or getting emotional watching some of the most iconic TV shows? Television holds a special place in viewers' hearts as they bring us closer as a family where we often spend an hour a day enjoying this pleasant experience together. From humorous sitcoms to engaging TV dramas – over the years Zee Café was the game-changing player who brought many of these shows to the Indian audience. On its 20 anniversary, lets revisit them and look back at some evergreen shows that are sure to make us emotional.

    1.     F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

    It’s truly next to impossible to imagine a world without F.R.I.E.N.D.S.. A show that had the world take sides with just one dialogue, “We were on a break”, is one worth a mention. Who would’ve thought that ‘lobsters’ indicated eternal love or the phrase ‘Oh My God’ literally has a ring to it? From Joey’s ‘How You Doin?’ to Ross’ grammar Nazi side, from Pheobe’s ‘Smelly Cat’ to Monica’s borderline OCD and from Chandler’s sarcastic self to the enchantress Rachel – we wouldn’t have it any other way!

    2.     The Big Bang Theory

    https://media.giphy.com/media/3o6fJ2WggvBDJv7ohG/giphy.gif

    For more than a decade our favourite quartet of socially awkward scientists, Sheldon, Lenoard, Raj, , Howard, and their ingénue neighbour Penny have entertained us thoroughly with science and funny anecdotes about superheroes, life and love. “The Big Bang Theory” explained as the ‘Sitcom Theory of Evolution’ has given us many amusing moments that made us fall in love with science, all over again. Admit it – haven’t we all hummed ‘Soft Kitty’ or found ‘that spot’ on the couch that’s ours? That’s the magic of unravelling the mysteries that all started with a big bang!

    3.     Full House

    https://media.giphy.com/media/HjPbLbmep2aJO/giphy.gif

    The Tanner family – a household name that had us in splits with their antics! The meticulous widower Danny and his little girls D.J., Stephanie, Michelle, along with their goofy Uncle Joey and the charming Uncle Jesse made for a perfectly imperfect family of misfits that was always up to some nuisance. ‘Full House’ is one show that brought together the young and old alike in enjoying we-time over some good laughs!

    4.     Two And A Half Men

    https://media.giphy.com/media/O7id52b7cSkbm/giphy.gif

    Two brothers and a ever-so-curious teenager lad makes for the perfect recipe for a disaster! As the terrific trio Charlie, Alan and Jake engaged in their daily dose of cheap thrills, the world came together to witness the madness that followed! A show that gifted the world with Charlie, a man full of himself and known for his carefree satirical take on life, truly had us hooked from the word go.

    5.     Seinfeld

    https://media.giphy.com/media/bznNJlqAi4pBC/giphy.gif

    "Hey, Reilly! The zoo called. You're due back by six." Quips Jerry, the ultimate king of comedy and comebacks! What could be better than witnessing the stand-up legend crack you up with witty one-liners? “Nothing!”. The greatest TV sitcom of the 90s, Seinfeld is one show that ditched the rulebook and redefined television for decades to come with its quirks and ability to mine laughter out of everyday mundane scenarios.

    6.     Will & Grace

    https://media.giphy.com/media/PoIn0Cho4Z5P5EgxLQ/giphy.gif

    What would you expect to get served, when you order for a gay lawyer and a cynical Jewish woman? A humorous take on two best friends’ dependence on each other for moral and emotional support in the most peculiar situations is what makes ‘Will & Grace’ a fan favourite even today. The camaraderie and chemistry between Jack and Grace is what won the hearts of many for this timeless sitcom.

    7.     House of Cards

    https://media.giphy.com/media/13M0GBv7MsKV2g/giphy.gif

    The most successful political social drama that’s features the likes of Kevin Space and Robin Wright in titular roles made for the most-awaited and gripping series of our times! A series that showed how politics is a game played by scheming people vying for the power and the highest seat in the round table garnered immense acclaim from critics and fans alike.  The end of every season is one nail-biting cliff-hanger that keeps you eagerly looking forward to what lies in store next.

    Grey's Anatomy
    https://media.giphy.com/media/zzFZGURdAux6o/giphy.gif

    We have seen them save countless lives, live through complex relationships and even survive a plane crash! A show all about love, pain, joy, anger and sorrow, Grey’s Anatomy has truly turned our hearts to mush over the past decade, tracing the lives of the charming surgeons from Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

    Supergirl
    https://media.giphy.com/media/xBzeaASC01dS0/giphy.gif

    Television’s first-ever red-caped female superhero is one who truly made her presence felt! Set in Arrowverse, Supergirl this fearless cousin of the legendary Superman, has carved her own path in fighting all evil with her phenomenal powers. A series that puts friendship to test, brings the most dangerous villains and unleashes the ultimate powers of Supergirl has had fans hooked on Zee Café as they witness the show ‘Along With The US’.

    The Vampire Diaries
    https://media.giphy.com/media/Xud9QBTpfqySA/giphy.gif

    Here’s a terrifying and award-winning drama series that largely garnered a large teen following that made young heartthrobs fall head over heels with them pale smooth jaw-lined blood sucking vamps. The Vampire Diaries was an instant hit with viewers in the country as they ventured into the town of Mystic Falls, one that was clouded in mystery and horror!

  • Mira Nair speaks up on “A Suitable Boy”

    Mira Nair speaks up on “A Suitable Boy”

    MUMBAI: It was a best-seller when it was released a score and more years ago. Now, Vikram Seth’s "A Suitable Boy" is catching the attention in Britain as it airs as a six-part series on BBC One during primetime. Directed by Mira Nair, it has a cast of 110 Asian actors and at the time of writing, four episodes of the show had been aired.

    Nair, who is known to be pretty blunt when she speaks, has expressed that she wished she had the same production budget for A Suitable Boy as the makers of The Crown did. 

    According to published reports, the BBC invested pounds sterling 16 million (Rs 160 crore) on the six part series, making it about 2.67 million pounds (Rs 26-odd crore) an episode. As against that, The Crown had a budget of close to 10 million pounds an episode and about a 100 million pounds for the season.

    Speaking to the Economist last week, Nair said: “The show has the magnificence and sweep of The Crown. Let me tell with my 30 years of experiencing of making films about my part of the world for the world, you never get the budget of The Crown. You get what you get and you have to be so assured and have an amazing team so that we can achieve that sweep. Every moment of A Suitable Boy is shot on location in forts, crumbling palaces, old havelis and refurbished bridges..we did all this to create a sense of that layering of history. We did that more with our experience our sensibility, our taste, and much less with oodles of money.”

    She further added that she hoped that the BBC and media in England would reflect the diversity of its own people. “I have yearned for Goodness Gracious Me for over 20 years. It had such brilliant writing for television, yet it is not there anymore. And it’s not as if it is not there, but the talent exists in the British Asian scene. I don’t see it being fostered. Now, my British Asian friends are saying to now that the BBC has spent its wad on A Suitable Boy, they’ll say there’s no room for anymore this year. That’s the thinking that should sort of go away.”

    Nair also disclosed that three years were spent on adapting it, after experienced script writer Andrew Davies worked with author Seth to churnout the adaptation of the 1400-odd page book into a tight screenplay.

    “I got into the party much later. They did a fabulous job distilling the massive tome. I wanted it to be less Pride and Prejudice and more the world that I wanted to evoke at that time..to shift the balance. I wanted to integrate the politics so it reflects the India of now to integrate the politics of now,” she expressed. “The search for lover, the search for who we are, the search for who we would spend our lives with, those are universal searches. The story is timely but the politics of it is also remarkably timely. Remember at that time the Hindu Muslim community were so syncretic in their song, in their culture, their language, in their friendships and that is so sadly and in a targeted fashion being obliterated slowly and surely in the fabric of our Indian society.”

    A Suitable Boy will air on Netflix later this year. It boasts a stellar cast: Tabu, Ishan Khattar, Tanya Maniktala, Rasika Duggal, Mahira Kakkar, Ram Kapoor, Gagan dev Riar, Vivek Gomber, Vivaan Shah, Shahana Goswami, Mikhail Sen, Namit Das, Randip Hooda, Amir Bhashir, Ranvir Shorey, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Vinay Pathak and Manoj Pahwa.

    The series follows the story of four families held together by Mrs Rupa Mehra’s desire to find a good match for her daughter Lata in 1951-52. Interwoven is the story of a newly-independent India with all the pulls and pressures of its first general election and Hindu-Muslim religious strife.

    It was shot on location in Lucknow, Maheshwar and Kanpur. Aradhna Seth’s Lookout Point was  the production partner. Andrew Davies and Vikram Seth share the writing credits while the Hindi, Urdu and Awadhi dialogues are by Hriday Lani. The series is being distributed by Viniyard Films and the BBC.

    Zee Café celebrates 20 years of we-time moments

    MUMBAI: A journey of unparalleled entertainment, of togetherness and of shared experiences; it’s been a thrilling 20 years for Zee Café, a name that is synonymous with the best of English entertainment.

Over the years, the channel has featured the latest international content that has inspired, stimulated and entertained us. On its 20 year milestone, the channel invites its audience to hangout with Zee Café and join in the celebrations as it completes 20 years of ‘We-Time’ with its viewers.

    Bringing this emotion alive, Zee Café has launched a special campaign video that glides through time and showcases how the channel has inherently been a part of our lives and has inadvertently shaped us over the years. The visually striking video beautifully depicts this journey through the experiences of girl from an Indian family who grew up watching Zee Café. Through a series of relatable illustrations, the film highlights moments in her life that are inspired by the iconic shows on Zee Café, that have become a signpost of her life stages, similarly playing a part in shaping life and lifestyle for their viewers from around the country.

    Celebrating 20 years of non-stop entertainment, Zee Café strives to share bundles of joy and smiles with some of the best shows that make for an absolute delight to watch together with friends or family. Weekends are no longer a bore with entertainment to keep you hooked all through the day! From compelling dramas that keep you on the edge to light-hearted sitcoms, and from cut-throat battles series to inspiring superhero saga – the line-up has it all!

    Speaking on the milestone, ZEEL Prathyusha Agarwal, chief consumer officer said, “The number 20 truly speaks volumes for the strength of Zee’s English Cluster backed by our loyal partners and an ever-evolving audience base who have consistently supported us in our endeavor. Being one of the pioneers in English entertainment in the country, it brings us immense joy to have impacted people’s lives and shaped the culture over the years with the finest ‘glocal’ content showcased on the channel.”

    She further added, “India is the world’s second largest English-speaking country and as per BARC, English entertainment caters to 170Mn+ viewers (BARC @ All India 2+ U+R, Week 01'20- Week 29' 20). We observed through a video study that short form digital video content consumption in English is growing and there are 60Mn viewers who regularly consume snippets of English content on-the-go. This suggests that English isn’t just a language or a medium of consumption but a means to think and express that’s far more intrinsic with this audience. To our consumers who lead a fast-paced lifestyle and have a global outlook, our compelling programming has served as a window to the world and our 20 years campaign beautifully encapsulates this relationship with our discerning viewers. Today, with the explosion of content and platforms, it has led to a greater and a more central role for television as the medium of discovery for latest international content. There is a need for careful curation of content on television that lends to co-viewing, making TV for a great community experience which could emerge as the big differentiator.”

    ZEEL English Cluster business head Kartik Mahadev said, “As the campaign says, the past 20 years have been incredible, and we can’t wait to spend many more with the Zee Café tribe. As one looks back at the journey, its been marked by a few breakthroughs but equally important are the continuous everyday efforts of curating great content and enhancing the consumer experience. The contribution by several teams over the years and our committed studio partners have been instrumental in shaping the English entertainment landscape in the country. With innovations like Along with the US, Uncut, binge-watch as a format and ‘subtitles’, that we take for a given today, the channel has been able to build an engaged and discerning audience. We have brought the best of Zee Café’s content together to mark the occasion and give our audience the opportunity to binge the best shows. We are excited about the content line up ahead for the year with shows such as The Titan Games Season 2, MasterChef and Grey’s Anatomy in the pipeline.”

    He further added, “The lockdown has showed us that the viewers choose to watch television for the curated content experience it provides, to not just individuals but the entire family. In the post lockdown world, where we are spending most of our time in our homes, it’s the together moments with family and friends that is keeping us positive and spirited. Zee Café is recognizing the role that television plays in bringing people together, sparking conversations and with this campaign we celebrate these occasions through a montage of We-Time moments.”

    With an all new season power-punch packed reality show like The Titan Games and with DC comics led superhero Supergirl slated to air, Zee Café buckles up for an exciting and thrilling rodeo ride ahead this August.

    So, hangout with your friends and family and partake in the celebrations as Zee Café celebrates 20 Years of We-Time
