Mumbai: Strengthening its connection with Marathi audiences through nostalgia-led programming, Zee Marathi has announced the return of two of Maharashtra’s most iconic television properties — Home Minister and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. The comeback also marks the return of two familiar personalities, Aadesh Bandekar and Avadhoot Gupte, as the channel aims to deepen engagement with viewers through content rooted in culture, family values and entertainment.
The revival of these long-running franchises reflects Zee Marathi’s continued focus on creating emotionally resonant content that remains closely connected to Marathi households across generations.
For over two decades, Home Minister has held a distinctive place in Marathi television, evolving beyond entertainment to become a fixture in family traditions and celebrations across the state. With Aadesh Bandekar returning as the beloved “Bhauji,” audiences can once again look forward to the familiar call of “Daar Ughad Baye, Daar Ughad…” as the show returns with a renewed focus on togetherness and shared experiences.
Alongside it, Zee Marathi is also bringing back Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, one of Marathi television’s most successful and respected singing reality formats. The platform has historically served as a launchpad for emerging musical talent while celebrating Maharashtra’s rich cultural and musical heritage.
The upcoming season is expected to showcase new voices, inspiring journeys and performances designed to connect with audiences across age groups. The return of Avadhoot Gupte adds to the anticipation, bringing back a mentor figure known for his musical expertise and strong connection with aspiring artists.
Together, Home Minister and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa represent two of Zee Marathi’s most enduring entertainment franchises — one celebrating relationships and family bonds, and the other highlighting dreams, creativity and artistic talent.
Through the return of these marquee properties, Zee Marathi continues to reinforce its commitment to creating culturally relevant viewing experiences that reflect the aspirations, traditions and evolving preferences of audiences across Maharashtra.
