Dangal

Dangal is a Hindi general entertainment channel (GEC) that shows both original content and reruns of old shows on now-defunct Hindi GECs such as Imagine TV. It is owned by the Enterr10 Network. It was launched in 2009 as a Bhojpuri movie channel, and was converted into a Hindi GEC around 2017 (since Enterr10 had launched Bhojpuri Cinema by then).

Following the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s drastic changes in TV channel packaging and pricing in December 2018 and January 2019, several channels from four big Indian broadcasters (Star, Zee, Sony and Viacom18) that had been running on DD Free Dish, the government-owned free-of-cost satellite TV platform, were removed from DD Free Dish on 1 March 2019. These included Hindi GECs such as Star Utsav, Zee Anmol, Sony Pal and Rishtey. However, Dangal and its sister channels have continued to run on DD Free Dish, which commands the highest percentage of TV viewers in India’s Hindi-speaking rural areas. As a consequence, the viewership of the channels from big networks that had been removed shifted to channels from smaller networks, thereby making Dangal the most-watched TV channel in the country since April 2019.
