Disney.Pixar’s Finding Dory premieres on Star Movies and Star Movies Select HD on 1 Oct
MUMBAI: Love, friendship and family are the most important things in life. And with the festive season around the corner, India’s premier English movie cluster is all set to bring one of the best family blockbusters Disney.Pixar’s Finding Dory to the small screen on 1st October, 2017 at 1 PM & 9 PM.
The spectacular success of the first movie in this franchise – Finding Nemo released in 2003 which made close to $950 Million in worldwide box office collection – also saw a rise in popularity of one of the key characters in the film ‘Dory.’ So much so that, Dory was graced with a film of her own – Disney.Pixar’s Finding Dory.
The forgetful and yet extremely adorable Dory found her way into the hearts and minds of everyone making this movie an astounding success story at the box office with a worldwide collection of over $1 Billion becoming the 4th highest grossing animated movie of all time.
Finding Dory is a story of spritely young Dory, whose spirits more than make up for what she lacks in memory. Her quest to find her parents with her friends Nemo and Marlin will take the viewers through an emotional rollercoaster.
The movie features an array of exceptional voice over actors such as Ellen DeGeneres, Ed O’Neill, Ty Burrell, Albert Brooks and Diane Keaton to name a few.

Zee5 launches five free FAST channels on Samsung TV Plus India
New genre-led channels bring comedy, drama, horror, classics and South films to Smart TVs.
MUMBAI: Zee5 just turned Samsung Smart TVs into a free entertainment buffet because when premium content costs nothing, even the remote control starts smiling. Zee5 has launched five curated free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels on Samsung TV Plus India, making high-quality, genre-specific entertainment available subscription-free to millions of Samsung Smart TV owners across the country.
The five channels now live are:
Zee Comedy Nation – Popular comedy shows and movies
Zee Dil Se – Compelling drama series
ZEE Horror Nights – Horror and supernatural content
ZEE Cine Classic – Timeless Indian films
ZEE South Flix – High-energy South Indian films dubbed in Hindi
All content is drawn from Zee5’s extensive library and programmed in a lean-back, always-on format ideal for large-screen viewing. This launch strengthens Zee5’s Connected TV strategy at a time when 64 per cent of its premium content watch time already comes from connected devices.
Zee5 chief business officer Siju Prabhakaran said, “At Zee5, we believe accessibility and scale will define the next phase of digital entertainment growth in India. Our presence on Samsung TV Plus strengthens our Connected TV strategy, enabling viewers to discover curated, genre-led content in a seamless, free, and premium environment.”
Samsung TV Plus India head of partnerships Kunal Mehta added, “Local partnerships are at the heart of how we grow Samsung TV Plus in India. Zee Entertainment is one of India’s most iconic media brands, and bringing their channels to our service means millions more Samsung Smart TV owners can enjoy premium local content, subscription-free.”
The channels are available directly through the pre-installed Samsung TV Plus app with no login or subscription required. This marks another milestone in Zee5’s CTV expansion and builds on its growing international presence, with Zee channels already available on Samsung TV Plus across Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
In a streaming world where paywalls often block the fun, Zee5 and Samsung have quietly opened the gates, proving that sometimes the best things in life (and on your TV) really are free especially when they come with a side of comedy, drama, horror, classics and South Indian blockbuster energy.
