    Available as part of the Zee Prime English Pack, &flix, in association with Sony Pictures Television, offers fans from across the country a chance to watch their favourite superheroes on television, before the world, just months after the worldwide movie release. Making it even exciting is the latest offering that will see Hollywood A-listers speak the Indian languages.

    Come December 8, 2019, Spidey is all set to say Hello, Vanakkam, Namaste and Namaskaram with the World Television Premiere of Spider-Man: Far From Home on December 8, 2019, at 1PM, 7PM and 9PM in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

With this, viewers will now be able to enjoy an unparalleled movie viewing experience and watch the biggest titles like Jumanji: The Next Level, Charlie’s Angels and many more that will soon be available on &flix.

Additionally, &flix has also collaborated with its trade partners to introduce and create conversations around the offering.

    Sharing his views, ZEEL Premium Channel Cluster Business Head Kartik Mahadev said, “The English movies category has always been metro focussed. However, NTO has homogenized the market, in the sense that viewers in the mega-cities and viewers in a remote Indian small town are both paying the same price to subscribe to an English movie channel.  This makes for a compelling case for channel brands to broaden their approach.”

    “Market studies and domestic box office collections reveal that the appetite for Hollywood movies has seen an upward trend. Language has brought in greater access to Hollywood movies. Viewers today increasingly look at watching movies in their native language to derive greater joy. This reflects in the reach for dubbed Hollywood movies on television as well. Offering viewers the flexibility to watch movies in the language of their choice, is an effort towards serving the wider demand for Hollywood movies,” he adds.

    MUMBAI: Zee English Cluster to air ‘Brexit: The Uncivil War’ on October 31, 2019 on  Zee Café, &flix and &PrivéHD. The show will uncover the journey through the lens of a mastermind strategist – Dominic Cummings. With a 7-pointer rating on IMDB, the film is directed by Toby Haynes and written by James Graham, starring Benedict Cumberbatch in a striking portrayal of the controversial Dominic Cummings.

    Take an exclusive peak behind the curtain and unravel the finer details of Britain’s biggest political referendums with the biographical drama airing this Thursday, October 31, 2019 at 12 PM on Zee Café, 7 PM on &flix and 7 PM on &PrivéHD.

    Having been nominated at Emmy’s 2019 in the ‘Outstanding Television Movie’ category, the film garnered immense critical acclaim and positive reviews from audience across the globe. Produced by BBC Studios, the thrilling drama revolves around the mastermind of the data-driven ‘Vote Leave’ campaign – Dominic Cummings whose eccentric ways and strategies influenced British voters to leave the European Union. Controversial and much debated, Cummings is dragged under the eye of suspicion having used sophisticated digital technologies to bolster his campaign – one that created a stir across the globe. With gripping twists and turns, the film delves into the depths of Britain’s biggest turning points as the Uncivil War begins!

    Sharing his views on what viewers can expect from the film, Benedict Cumberbatch said, “It’s supposed to be a prism on a world, opening the crack of a door to step into the room where it happened. It will be far more entertaining than a night in watching the news – and that’s saying something considering what's on the news at the moment! It will be frustrating, entertaining, occasionally very funny and highly moving. I hope all the things a great drama can be.”

  • &flix launches #FlixFirstBeforeAmerica campaign

    &flix launches #FlixFirstBeforeAmerica campaign

Starting October 2019, &flix has redefined the movie viewing experience on television by bringing World Television Premieres of the biggest movies before the world and within a few months of their theatrical releases.

  • &flix reduces Hollywood movie TV premiere window to five months

    &flix reduces Hollywood movie TV premiere window to five months

    MUMBAI: While the general time to bring a Hollywood movie to Indian TV screens has been nine to 12 months, the deal between &flix and Sony Pictures Television is changing the norm. Now, viewers can catch their favourite movies within a few months of launch.

    It will start with Sony Pictures Television’s MIB: International on 20 October 2019. It will also include some other titles from Sony Pictures Television’s library such as Spider-Man: Far From Home, Brightburn, Angry Birds 2, Jumanji: The Next Level, Charlie’s Angels (2019) and Zombieland 2.

    ZEEL English cluster business head Kartik Mahadev said, “The initiative of world television premiere will be a big disruption in the category; address the challenges of consumers and offer movies just three months after release is something that will delight our consumers.”

    He further said, “We are also building further on the Flix First premieres; it is the property where the channel offers viewers an opportunity to watch new theatrical movies before anybody else through premieres. We built on the Flix First premieres delivering the most number of premieres but now we are trying to delight our viewers by bringing movies on television before anywhere else in the world. It’s a world television premiere and it’s a disruption in the category.”

    Mahadev believes that this initiative will address the consumers’ challenge of waiting for the television premiere of their favourite movies.

    “It is to solve the consumers’ challenge. When a movie is theatrically released there is a lot of buzz and excitement around it and movie fans are looking to watch the movie as soon as they can when it reaches the theatre. But by the time it reaches television, there is usually a nine to 12 months window to reach television. So, now that’s what we wanted to solve,” he opined.

    Speaking on the deal with Sony Pictures Television, Mahadev said, “With Sony, we have the first output deal. We’ll also curate a lot of movies on &flix using the Sony library and libraries from other partners.”

    “The roadmap is to be consumer-focused given that we have got a solid franchise in the form of movies and popular marquee content. We are looking to innovate more and give a better cinematic experience as well as give more viewing options. So we are giving consumers an option to watch it in a script format or binge over the weekends,” he said.

    Sharing his thought on &flix’s journey, he said,“&flix recently completed one year and it has reached the top three channels in HD viewership and it is building on brand awareness as a destination for Hollywood blockbuster. It’s a channel which has delivered the most number of premieres in the English movies category.”
