Kickstarting the ‘Dhak Dhak day’ on a high note will be the 101% Shuddh romantic film ‘Dil’ at 9 am. Starring Aamir Khan along with Madhuri Dixit, the movie showcases how an innocent love story of two individuals is wrecked by the egos of their prejudiced fathers. Second in line is the 101% Shuddh drama film ‘Beta’ at 12 pm that also features Anil Kapoor and Arun Irani. The movie’s soundtrack was quite well appreciated especially the song ‘Dhak Dhak Karne Laga’. In fact, Madhuri received the nick name of ‘Dhak Dhak girl’ because of her spectacular dance performance on this iconic song.
Next in line at 3pm is the romantic film ‘Aarzoo’ that also features Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. The film follows the life of Pooja who marries her childhood friend Amar after her fiancé Vijay who is believed to be dead. But, her life takes a U-turn with Vijay’s return. Airing at 6 pm will be Subhash Ghai’s blockbuster crime thriller ‘Khalnayak’ that stars Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff. The story revolves around the escape and attempted capture of terrorist criminal Ballu by inspector Ram. Last but not the least is the 101% Shuddh blockbuster film ‘Ram Lakhan’ at 9pm. Considered as a classic, it’s the story of two brothers who part ways due to their ideological differences, but how they come to each other’s rescue as the story unfolds. Madhuri and Anil Kapoor’s chemistry in this film was the most loved and is considered as one of their memorable films.

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.
