Viacom18 further expands its regional play with COLORS Gujarati Cinema
Share Share ShareShare

Mumbai: Viacom18 Media Pvt. Ltd.,India’s youngest entertainment company, today, announced the launch of COLORS Gujarati Cinema, the region’s first 24-hour premium movies’ channel. With the tagline of FilmoMatrubhasha Ma, which translates into Movies in your mother-tongue, the channel is positioned to leverage the vibrant cinematic heritage of Gujarat. Following the success of COLORS Kannada Cinema, Viacom18’s latest foray into regional movie broadcast – COLORS Gujarati Cinema – will launch on June 1st, 2019 as a pay channel. It will be a part of the network’s primary COLORS walaValue+ Pack.

“4 years agowe consolidated and rebranded our play in regional TV broadcast under the COLORS umbrella. Since then not only have we added 7 more channels but also entered new markets through our broadcast, digital and films businesses. Over the last 2 years our regional cluster has grown at a CAGR of 36.5% in viewership and 22% in revenue.” Said Sudhanshu Vats, Group CEO & Managing Director, Viacom18 at the announcement of COLORS Gujarati Cinema, adding, “Gujarat presents a unique opportunity for us as we can leverage our regional GEC COLORS Gujarati’s strong 43% market share position and capture a current whitespace in the market – movie broadcast.”


Ravish Kumar

Ravish Kumar, Head – Regional TV Network, Viacom18,further added,‘’Gujarati language has clocked the highest growth rate amongst all language TV viewership with an astounding 36% year-on-year growth. Movies as a TV genre enjoys 25% viewership in Gujarat, a state with an 87-year-old legacy of producing films and plays. With the absence of a premium television channel showcasing Gujarati movies, it was the perfect whitespace for us to capture. Not only does COLORS Gujarati Cinema provide for a business case but also allows us to give the people of Gujarat a destination to enjoy movies in their mother-tongue. With COLORS Gujarati Cinema, we aim to respond to the regional market’s appetite for high-quality content while retaining its socio-cultural identity through a rich library of 300+ films and plays.”

Viacom18’s journey of delighting the Gujarati audience began almost 18 years back with the purpose of providing authentic Gujarati entertainment to its viewers. COLORS Gujarati Cinema aims to bring the past, the present and the future of the 87-year-old Gujarati Cinema legacy on the TV screens for its viewers.

The network is planning a 360-degree marketing campaign across pre-launch, launch and sustenance phases. The state will see major print and radio campaigns across all major publications and stations.Marketing campaign will be headlined by an industry-first RAP anthem which has been shot with popular Gujarati actor Jimit Trivedi to capture the pulse of the youth. An OOH campaign across 23 major towns of Gujarat and a television campaign across COLORS Gujarati and the market’s top non-network channels will see an ad blitzkrieg with 1000 spots aired.In a marketing tie-up that brings unprecedented scale to the launch, COLORS Gujarati Cinema will run an in-theatre campaign that will launch with Salman Khan’s upcoming Bharat.
