On the occasion, Samrat Ghosh, Cluster Head East, ZEE Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. said, “ZEE Biskope’s journey to success has been exciting and exhilarating. It demonstrated strength in the Bhojpuri market by sharply deep diving into consumer centricity, up scaling in presentation of its curated content by bringing the Bhojpuriya soul to screen. Our idea is that in the Bhojpuri market, there is still a huge gap as to what you can curate for the viewers. ZEE Biskope’s vision ahead will hence be to remain very consumer-focused and a differentiator by offering curated movies, bands, and novel viewer engagement initiatives.”
Amarpreet Saini – Business Head, ZEE BISKOPE & BIG Ganga, ZEEL said, “ZEE Biskope’s journey in the last one year has been a narrative of category firsts. Right from the organizing the biggest ever Bhojpuri movie screening in Bihar to the topically curated movie festivals and the innovative viewer engagement drives, the channel has brought novelty to the category. Offering curated content in an otherwise commoditized market, ZEE Biskope has redefined and reshaped the category. The response we received from our viewers also evidences their affinity towards the brand. We are motivated to carry on the legacy of novelty and curation as a way forward for the brand to remain as the Ultimate Bhojpuri Entertainer.”
