    Zee TV revamps new season of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa; to air from 26 March

    MUMBAI: Zee TV announced the revamp of one of its most popular homegrown talent showsSa Re Ga Ma Pawhich completed 20 years recently. The talent show helped enrich the Indian music fraternity with gems from its homegrown talent pool.

    Talking with Indiatelevision.com, Zee TV business head Pradeep Hejmadi said, “The format has grown with the aegis and the engagement of the industry and for the mentors. For us Sa Re Ga Ma Pa doesn’t live for three months, it lives for the ages. Singers like Shreya Ghoshal, Divya, KunalGanjawala, ShekharRavjiani, Bela Shende, Sanjivani, Kamal Khan are the brands for us. This year’s there is very conscious participative opportunity in the show based on ability. For example,a music director will look at things very differently. It’s just not the voice that matters it’s the art of putting all things together that is important. Hence we thought that the jury will be the part of the show as the mentors will be sharpening them and then they will be evaluated by the jury. So that’s the balance we want to keep this time.”

    The channel has also introduced the 100 sec clock in the show.“It’s very important for a person to understand that time is precious. People needs to value time, talent and need to give their best performance in those 100 secs. Times don’t wait for anybody. There will be no retakes or second chance as they get enough time to rehearse,” adds Hejmadi.

    The mentors include the Dabangg duo from BollywoodSajid-Wajid and the affable, endearing and multiple award-winning Pritam Chakraborty who’s known to constantly offer opportunities to young newcomers. Joining them for the very first time on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is the king of Indi-Pop and Bollywood playback, the performer par excellence – Mika Singh. The young and charming Aditya Narayan groomed in a family with great musical lineage, returns to host the upcoming season.

    Sa Re Ga Ma Pa will also be available on its digital platform Ditto TV and OZEE.
    At 9.30pm, the show will be pitched against Sony Entertainment Television’s upcoming comedy show with comedy king Kapil Sharma which will go live from 23 April at 9 pm on weekends.

    “India’s Best Dramebaaz has done really well for the channel. Once people get attached to a particular show then they will find time to watch the show. So channels will come and go and some new shows will come but certain shows will always stays. Zee has been the pioneer in this format, its first one to start in the industry and we have a very powerful run,”said Hejmadi further.

    The channel has aggressive promotion plans for one of its most popular shows. “Digital will remain the important part of promotions. We will be unleashing the brand campaign with the core brand of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. After that we will go into the components to showcase what goes in the show and what will be different in the it,” informedHejmadi.

    Zee TV is also planning to take Sa Re Ga Ma Pa international. “Music is a form of expression. In India we recite different kinds of songs and so in any other country. What we intend to do is to showcase some of the fabulous talent and get out in those market and do the local version of Sa ReGa Mas. Every SaReGaMa has to start at very particular level. There is intent to take Sa Re Ga Ma Pa international with a local version rather then bring international participants here, informed Hejmadi.

    Essel Vision Productions Limited business head Akash Chawla, said, “The auditions across 14 cities have given us some spectacular talent spanning varied genres of music and we look forward to a great season. This season marks a strong differentiator for Sa Re Ga Ma as we introduce a new format. We have enlisted the support of 30 music connoisseurs – experts in the music fraternity who will aid the selection process right from the outset. This will be the first time that a singing reality show will have a jury of experts beyond its mentors to arrive at the finest talent. One singer will be evaluated from 30 different perspectives of music. So, the challenge for each aspirant only gets tougher.”

    The first Indian Music Academy Marathi Music Awards to be telecast on Star Pravah 7 pm on 24th Nov

    MUMBAI: The Marathi music industry is fast evolving with significant leaps in talent and technical expertise. Especially over the last 5 years, we have witnessed a marked difference in the Marathi Music space, with the emergence of outstanding work.

    GSEAMS and Art And Artistes presented the first Indian Music Academy Marathi Music Awards, which was held on the 26th of October 2013 in a star-studded event at Mumbai. The Indian Music Academy (IMA), a CSR initiative of Art And Artistes (I) Pvt. Ltd., is the 1st body of musicians in India. Founder Patron Sangeet Martand Padma Vibhushan Pandit Jasraj along with 12 other patrons laid down the guiding principles and key objectives of the IMA, and it was launched by the then President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam in 2006. It has since then worked towards promoting all genres of Indian Music and musicians and also, relentlessly towards the welfare of the musicians. 

    Art And Artistes, since the last 14 years has emerged to be the only Multi Media Music Company of India, producing world class IPs including Jalsa, Tiranga, Panchtatva, Indian Music Academy Awards, Golden Voice Golden Years, Jai Hind, and many others. GSEAMS, with its expertise of conceptualizing and executing larger than life entertainment properties has come together to create this prestigious platform.

    The 1st IMA Marathi Music Awards, at the prestigious Ravindra Natya Mandir, saw a glittering set of performances of Musical Maestros such as Hariharan and Vaishali Samant, scintillating Dance Performances by Amruta Khanvilkar, Anusha Dandekar and many others.

    The Red Carpet & the show was grace by the who’s who of the Bollywood & Marathi Entertainment Industry to name a few: Sonu Nigam, Ajay of Ajay Atul, Usha Mangeshkar, Sachin Pilgaonkar, Anuradha Paudwal, Bela Shende, Kiran Shantaram, Mahesh Kothare, Sanjay Manjarekar & many more.

    Commenting on their association Arjun Singgh Baran & Kartik Nishandar Co-Founders GSEAMS said, “We have been extremely excited, happy & fortunate on the response the awards night has received from the Music Industry. Even though this being our first own awards co produced by GSEAMS the industry has made us feel extremely comfortable and homely by the overwhelming attendance we have got for the Awards. We look forward to the telecast of the show on Star Pravah on the 24th November,7 pm onwards and promise our viewers an enriching content which they would have never seen before.”

    Further commenting Durga Jasraj co-founder Indian Music Academy and Founder & Director Art And Artistes and Neeraj Jaitly, Director Art And Artistes expressed, “Maharashtra has a rich legacy of music genres. The response to the 1st edition of the IMA Marathi Music Awards was overwhelming. IMA Awards have been accepted as the only Awards given by Musicians themselves, and therefore have a great emotional value and prestige associated in the hearts of the entire musical world. This success has been possible also due to the experience brought in by Arjun and Kartik. It’s a dream come true, to have the numero uno Marathi Channel Star Pravah, as our channel partner and supporting us. We thank all our partners and hope that we can continue to bridge the gap of producing Rich Indian Music along with main-stream mass media.”
