Review: The Consequences Of 7 Day Viewing On Star Life, Zee World And Telemundo

DStv customers have been complaining about the level of repeats seen across the platform and a few years ago Zee World found a solution which was the 7 day campaign meaning instead of waiting 48 hours for new content you'd only wait 24 hours.

Or in Zee World's case, adding 5 series to the primetime offering every single day including weekends. Sure with load shedding and a busy work schedule you miss out on a day's worth of content but the channel found a way of reducing the volume of repeats.

Before you had to wait at least 6 months to a year for new content but with this strategy you could wait at least 4 months so yeah Zee World did something most DStv channels failed to do throughout their existence.

If anything it inspired a generation of channels such as Telemundo and Star Life to follow in a similar pursuit. Sure this meant less hours of lazy days and more hours of binge watching but as seen in the last months was the pressure put in to retain their status.

Zee World reduced primetime to 6 days meaning almost 48 hours of primetime gone from the schedule. To top it off you have one program viewed in one part of Africa before anywhere else and vice versa as someone thought of causing confusion by dividing feeds.

Someone at Star Life thought it would be good to reduce the hours of some of their shows as they didn't want the affected series to clash with India. I mean hasn't someone here done their homework you have Zee World dividing Twist Of Fate in seasons.

While in India it should have about 2 seasons by now, I mean several brands had already done this if not Zee World's merger of episodes than division. I mean 15-21 minutes is not enough to brief anyone about a show unless it was a sitcom, soapie or a cartoon.

Telemundo doesn't really need to join the ally of Zee World and Star Life. NBCUniversal has been cutting back on original cost spend I think now would be the best time to save up on your options as opposed to throwing it all in the fire and hoping for a miracle.

Sure this new format is getting us more content from the channel on a yearly basis but if they still used the format seen on TLNovelas. It could lead them into having 5 new shows running on a monthly basis and waiting 6 months on more content.

On top of that, it could help build the main feed's catalogue as they wait for more content. On the bright side, Telemundo isn't NBCUniversal centric as you got shows from other regions such as Colombia through RCN Television and Caracol Television.

Despite what me or anyone thinks about the channels, I think these channels are well off when it comes to repeat management. As some channels are only ever able to source out more content on a weekly basis drowning audiences in repeats for 144 hours.

Update: Aparajita And Unfortunate Love Release Dates In South Africa And The Rest Of Africa On Zee World

A few months ago, Zee World brought on some extraordinary antics across Africa. As the channel reduced primetime by 24 hours meaning new episodes can only be seen Monday to Saturday and alongside elites like M-Net and BBC divided their offering.

Something that has been used on brands like M-Net and BBC to often censor content that can be deemed dangerous in various African markets is being used on Zee World. You'd think that consumers would be watching the same thing with little variation.

But that's not the case here, apparently you'd have shows like Twist Of Fate airing new seasons much earlier than other markets and vice versa in those regions with another series same goes for other content viewed on the channel.

Questions amount to how long it will be till Zee One follows with a similar offering for consumers in South Africa and across Africa. It's already a challenge for Zee World consumers to watch Zee One shows months later now it's a division between regions.

Below a list of shows announced in February with release dates:

- Aparajita: premieres 9 May in South Africa and 20 May everywhere else
Follows the titular character who is deserted by her husband Akshay, leaving her alone to fend for her herself and her three daughters. But she rises to meet every challenge so that her daughters can be strong and independent.
- Unfortunate Love: premieres 24 April in South Africa and 21 April everywhere else
The show revolves around Lakshmi, a kind-hearted naive girl from a village who gets married to a businessman named Rishi Oberoi. However things take a turn when Lakshmi learns the truth of her marriage.

Other upcoming shows include Radha Mohan and Staying True for which their release dates were unveiled days prior.

Staying True premiers 12 April in South Africa & 1 May in the Rest of Africa

Zee World is known for its thought-provoking narratives that question people’s mindsets about various subjects relevant to society. It is back with a story that will make audiences reconsider their approach towards women achieving more than their male counterparts.

Such is the story of Paragi, the female protagonist of Zee World’s, Staying True, who, along with her love interest Sanjay. While both of them are extremely motivated towards their joint goal of becoming IAS officers, the show captures the dynamics between the two families after Paragi passes her exam with flying colours and Sanjay doesn’t!

Zee World SVP of Marketing & Content Desiree Pillay said, “The upcoming series, Staying True, is a dramatic love story that presents an interesting scenario prevalent in many cultures and societies, career accomplishments of men and women in the workplace. In addition, the storyline captures the many reactions the couple faces from both sides of the family and the impact it has on their relationship.”

Producer Saurabh Tewari also produced the popular series Mehek and has yet again created a success story with Staying True.

Radha Mohan premiers on 30 May in South Africa and 8 April in Rest of Africa.

Over the last few years, Zee World has emerged as a channel that brings its viewers stories that mirror their world, touch upon subjects close to their hearts and introduce them to characters whom they fall in love with. A mature romance, the show will introduce viewers to Mohan, played by popular TV star Shabir Ahluwalia who once starred as Abhi in the popular series Twist of Fate. Mohan is back on our screens and effortlessly charms the viewers in Radha Mohan across talented actress Neeharika Roy.

Shabir has somehow lost his smile along the way. A man whose mere presence would light up the room and lift spirits now seems to be weighed down by a burden of pain and regrets. In deep-seated awe of Mohan from her adolescent years, Radha, on the other hand, is a spiritual and optimistic woman, full of love and warmth. Radha Mohan follows Radha’s journey of rekindling the lost spark in Mohan’s eyes.

In an interview with India Times, Shabir Ahluwalia said, “I have never shied away from taking on a different character. In fact, I am always excited and enthusiastic about such a role. My new show, Radha Mohan, is a fascinating story, very unique and full of twists and turns. I personally love the way Mohan’s character has been written. Mohan is a strong, well-defined, yet challenging character with several different shades. He is quite different from what I have played on-screen before, so I am excited to see how the viewers respond to my new avatar.”

He also claimed that he had spoken to his higher officials and asked them to record the postmortem as per rules, but asked them to take pictures and hand over the body to the police.

Sushant’s body was found in his Apartment in Bandra on June 14, 2020. Earlier, the case was being investigated by the Mumbai Police. The case was later handed over to the CBI. The investigation report of this case has not come yet.

Recently during a conversation, Sushant’s father KK Singh told a TV channel, ‘My child cannot commit suicide. He was not stupid, he was courageous, and he was fast-paced. He didn’t have the temperament to commit suicide. We have been watching him since childhood and we know what a brave and bold person he was.

Sushant’s father KK Singh had alleged that his son was murdered and Riya Chakraborty was also involved in this murder. Rhea Chakraborty was questioned by the investigating agencies in the case. Along with the CBI, the Enforcement Directorate and the Narcotics Control Bureau are also involved in this investigation. The case is with the CBI and so far the investigating agency has not disclosed the cause of death.

There were 2-3 marks on the neck

Rupkumar Shah, a mortuary servant of Cooper Hospital in Mumbai, told the TV9 channel, “When Sushant Singh Rajput died, we found five bodies in Cooper Hospital for postmortem. One of those five bodies was a VIP body. When we went to conduct the postmortem, it was found that he was Sushant and there were many marks on his body.

There were also two-three marks on his neck. The postmortem needed to be recorded, but the higher authorities had only asked for pictures of the body to be taken. We did the same as per the order. ‘

This is not suicide, it is murder

He further says, “When I first saw Sushant’s body, I immediately told my seniors that I think it is not suicide but murder. I even told them that we should act according to the rules. However, my seniors told me to take pictures as soon as possible and hand over the body to the police. This was the reason why the postmortem was done at night. ‘

On the other hand, Dr Sachin Sonawane, who conducted Sushant’s postmortem, has said that Roopkumar Shah was not part of his team.

Razia Sultana - The First Woman Sultanate Of India

Razia Sultana was the first woman Sultanate of India, and ruled the court of Delhi from the end of 1236 to 1240. The only ever woman to do so, she defied all odds to occupy the throne, including overcoming conflicts over her gender and her slave ancestry. During her reign, she proved her mettle as a just and capable ruler, and was renowned for her subversive actions, which varied from sporting men’s attire to printing coins in her own name and image.

In 1205, Razia Sultan was born into the household of Shams-us-din Iltutmish as his only daughter. Although he had entered Delhi as a slave worker under Qutb-ud-din, he had impressed the ruler with his efficiency, and had been appointed as a provincial governor. Iltutmish sought to impart these same qualities to all his children, including Razia, and ensured they were all well educated and trained in archery, martial arts, and administration.

On 30th April, 1236, Iltutmish passed away, appointing Razia as his rightful heir. The Muslim nobility refused to accept this, and therefore, they installed her incompetent brother, Rakn ud din Firuz, on the throne. His rule, which was managed by Shah Turkaan, Iltutmish's widow, came to an abrupt end a mere 6 months later, when both he and his mother were assassinated. Razia was finally handed the reigns to the kingdom on 10th November, 1236.

Razia ascended the throne as Jalâlat ud-Dîn Raziyâ, and immediately dropped her veil, replacing it with men’s attire instead. She authoritatively issued coins in her name, proclaiming herself to be the ‘pillar of women’ and ‘Queen of the times.’

She was proud of her kingdom, and worked on conquering new territories and strengthening it. She also made breakthroughs in its administration, and established schools, academies, and public libraries. She gained many supporters and admirers through her reign.

The Turkish nobles were displeased by Razia’s efficient rule as well as her rumoured involvement with Jamal ud-Din Yaqut, an Abyssinnian Siddi slave. Despite her courageous efforts, she was taken into capture, and her brother, Muizuddin Bahram Shah, usurped the throne once Yaqut was murdered.

Malik Altunia, the governor of Bhatinda grew to fall in love with Razia’s charm and wit, and took her as his wife. He rebelled against the Turkish nobles and was determined to win Razia back her kingdom; he planned a siege on behalf of his sovereign. Together, they marched towards Delhi, but were unsuccessful in their conquest. They were defeated by Bahram on 13th October, 1240.

Raziyâ and Altunia fled Delhi after their defeat and reached Baithal the very next day. With their remaining forces abandoning them, they met their unfortunate ends at the hands of the Hindu Jats there, who robbed and killed them.

Till date, the final resting place of Razia remains unknown, with no supporting archaeological or documentary evidence. The site of her grave could be in Baithal, Delhi, or Tonk. Her legacy, however, has stood the test of time; women throughout the ages have invoked her name in their lyrics and in their folklore, spreading her story across distant lands.
