Noida, 29th January, 2024: As Subhash Chandra’s Zee finds itself in a sticky situation with the Sony deal unravelling, Duologue With Barun Das offers an exclusive and unfiltered look into the mind of India’s media and entertainment pioneer and maverick.
In Duologue, hosted by TV9 Network’s MD & CEO Barun Das, Chandra bares his soul on the many ups and downs of his long career. As the episode progresses and chapters of Chandra’s life are revisited, Duologue with Barun Das—the flagship show of India’s first news OTT app, News9 Plus—dives into the psyche of a man who has been a dynamic force, responsible at different points in his career for both acts of creation and destruction.
As Zee faces the threat of a hostile takeover given the promoters’ minuscule 3.99% holding in Zee Entertainment, Chandra’s distinction between ownership and control becomes an interesting and intriguing point to revisit in Duologue with Barun Das.
The conversation, spread over four episodes, presses Chandra on whether he is comfortable with entities flourishing under someone else’s control. The dialogue between Das and Chandra concludes with a glimpse into the latter’s approach to learning from mistakes. Emphasizing the ‘art of tough love’, Chandra recounts instances where the closure of a successful channel served as an invaluable learning experience, and says that at the end of the day, he has no regrets.
Duologue with Barun Das featuring Subhash Chandra is available for viewing with a variety of other exclusive content on the News9 Plus app, which offers subscriptions ranging from 30 days (Rs 99), 90 days (Rs 289), and 365 days (Rs 999 with free vouchers worth Rs 3,000).
