As we stand on the cusp of our 25th anniversary, we are filled with a profound sense of gratitude and an inspiring vision for the future. Zee Marathi has not just been a channel; it has been a living, breathing tapestry of stories, dreams, and shared moments that have touched the hearts of millions. This milestone is more than a celebration—it’s a momentous occasion that brings with it a flood of memories and a deep emotional resonance.
To Our Storytellers: We owe our deepest thanks to the gifted writers who have woven the narratives that have defined our legacy. From groundbreaking shows like ‘Abhalmaya’, which bravely portrayed a woman’s journey through the trials of a broken marriage, to the powerful ‘Shiva’, challenging societal norms of femininity, our writers have created characters and stories that have not only entertained but inspired.
To Our Visionary Creators: Our journey would not have been possible without the visionary creators who dared to dream big with us. Together, we took our first pioneering steps with the majestic ‘Jai Malhar’, a mythological epic that captured the grandeur of our heritage. We ventured into the more than 500 homes of Maharashtra with the ‘Home Minister’ and celebrated the indomitable rural spirit with Jau Bai Gavaat. These shows were more than just entertainment; they were milestones that redefined the television landscape.
To Our Talented Artists: The heart of Zee Marathi beats with the talent that has graced our screens—actors and artists who have poured their souls into every performance. Their relentless commitment and unwavering support have been the backbone of our success. Together, we have grown, weathered challenges, and celebrated triumphs.
To Our Musical Maestros: Our journey has been accompanied by the melodies that have become the soundtrack of our lives. We are forever grateful to the lyricists and music directors who have given us songs that are now etched in the collective memory of our audience. Whether it’s the haunting strains of ‘Vadalvaat’, the romantic ballads of ‘Majhiya Priyala Preet Kalena’ or ‘Khulta Kali Khulena’, or the patriotic fervour of the Gaurav Geet that echoes across on Maharashtra Diwas, these songs have transcended time, becoming anthems of love, pride, and identity.
To Our Advertisers: Our advertisers have been more than just business partners—they have been our steadfast supporters, sharing our vision and believing in our bold ventures. With their confidence, we have scaled new heights, embraced innovation, and pushed the boundaries of what is possible. The prestigious Zee Gaurav Puraskaar stands today as a symbol of excellence in Marathi cinema, a testament to the trust and collaboration that have fuelled our journey.
To Our Partners: To our partners who have been the guiding stars in our journey—thank you for shaping our thinking, honing our creative strategies, and helping us stay close to our viewers in this ever-evolving market. Your partnership has been crucial in our ability to remain agile, responsive, and relevant in a dynamic industry.
To Our Beloved Viewers: But above all, our deepest gratitude belongs to you—our cherished viewers. You have not just watched Zee Marathi; you have embraced it as a part of your family, woven it into the very fabric of your lives. From the laughter shared over beloved comedies to the tears shed during poignant dramas, you have lived these stories with us, turning our shows into more than just television—they have become your stories, your memories.
As we celebrate 25 years, we look back with immense pride and forward with boundless anticipation. The stories yet to be told, the music yet to be composed, and the talent yet to be discovered fill us with excitement for what lies ahead. Our goal is not just to stay ahead of the curve but to stay deeply connected with the pulse of our audience.
With shows like ‘Paaru’, ‘Shiva’, ‘Navri Mile Hitlerla’, ‘Tula Shkwin Changla Dhada’, ‘Lakhat Ek Amcha Dada’, and many more stories we intend to amplify our viewers’ voices, reflect their dreams, and stand by them through every chapter of their lives.
We are committed to furthering our pioneering spirit, pushing the boundaries of the Marathi entertainment industry with many more firsts. By leveraging technology and data, we will sharpen our approach and make informed decisions, collaborating with partners who can seamlessly bridge the gap between data and content.
In this very moment, we celebrate the relentless, committed, and passionate team that stands behind our promise to our viewers.
Here’s to the next chapter of Zee Marathi, a chapter that we will write together with the same passion, dedication, and love that has brought us this far. Thank you for being a part of our journey.
