Further, he said, “Today’s audiences are eager to see blockbuster films from all over the world, but the language remains a barrier for many. According to research, 68% of TV-Movie consumers prefer to watch Hollywood movies in Hindi, and we are excited to break through the language barrier and provide movies that our people want to watch with Star Gold Thrills”.
“Female viewers constantly demonstrate a larger affinity for Hindi movies led by romance and drama, although there is not a single movies destination that caters to female consumers on TV. In fact, 98% of female TV movie viewers would choose a new Hindi movie channel dedicated to love and romance, making Star Gold Romance a compelling idea”, he continued.
