Star Gold HD to premiere ‘Guddu Rangeela’
MUMBAI: Star Gold HD, known for its exclusivity in curating unique movies for its audiences, once again astonishes them with the World Television Premiere of ‘Guddu Rangeela’. The movie is to be premiered first on the channel, adding a unique quotient to it. Known for his satirical comical dramas Phas Gaye Re Obama and Jolly LLB, Director Subhash Kapoor’s Guddu Rangeela is a quirky take on the real-life incident of Manoj-Babli honour killing case. Not to forget the music, the songs have been composed by none other than Amit Trivedi which has managed to please the music lovers with super catchy tracks like ‘Mata ka email’ that has minimal music and super quirky lyrics.
Based in the dusty plains of north India, the story is about two cousins Guddu (Amit Sadh) and Rangeela (Arshad Warsi), trying to make ends meet in the crime infested surroundings. They are the members of a local village orchestra while moonlighting as khabris for the local gangs. The duo gets embroiled into a controversy and to escape from that they need a huge sum. To arrange the ransom money, they kidnap the deaf and mute girl named ‘Baby’ (Aditi Rao Hydari) only to be shocked to know that Baby has a hidden agenda. Suddenly the terror spilling villainous local political leader Billo (Ronit Roy) gets in action and the story later takes an interesting twist which leads to funny sequences.
So gear up to watch this thought-provoking lighthearted film, ‘Guddu Rangeela’ only on Star Gold HD on 5 September at 8:00 pm.

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.
