In order to further strengthen its position in the regional genre, Star India is all set to launch the HD feeds of its Bengali channels – Star Jalsha and Jalsha Movies. Star Jalsha HD and Jalsha Movies HD will go on-air on April 14, 2015 to coincide with the first day of the Bengali New Year – Poila Baisakh.

Star Jalsha HD and Jalsha Movies HD will be available on all the leading carriers like Tata Sky, Airtel, Manthan, GTPLKCBPL, Digi Cable, Siti, Meghbhala Digital, DEN, Hathaway and AMBC.

The Bengali audience can now enjoy a bouquet of popular shows, including ‘Mahanayak’, a 100-episode series on the life and times of a famous actor starring Prosenjit Chatterjee; ‘Bhakter Bhagwan Shri Krishna and Kiranmala’, a Bengali mythological/ fantasy series; the Star Jalsha Parivaar Awards and ‘Khoka Babu’, a love story, on Star Jalsha HD.

Jalsha Movies HD will telecast an eclectic mix of blockbuster movies like ‘Arshi Nagar’ (A land of mirrors) by multiple National Award winner Aparna Sen; ‘Ki Kore Toke Bolbo’ (How do I tell you), a romantic saga; ‘Power’, featuring Jeet in a double role, and more.

Speaking on the launch of the two HD channels, Kevin Vaz, General Manager, Star Jalsha and Jalsha Movies, said, “We have always strived to better the experience of our viewers and we truly believe that the launch of the HD channel is the logical step forward in that direction.” He further added, “Now viewers will be able to view their favourite shows and movies in richer colors, with greater clarity making images sharper. With not one, but two HD channel launches in one day we have again redefined the television viewing experience in Bengal.”

Star Jalsha has undergone a complete transformation over the last six months upgrading its systems. To showcase greater clarity, sharper images, and rich colours, the HD advertisements were shot with a Phantom camera for the first time in Bengal.
