MUMBAI: UK’s entertainment and lifestyle channel Zing has launched a slew of new shows as part of its programming line-up. 

Zing will also be launching a new initiative wherein it will dub popular Bollywood movies like Kai Po Che and Namaste London amongst others in English. These will be aired every Saturday night at 8:30 pm.

The first show to launch is titled Spirits of India - The Festivals and will celebrate the distinct flavours of different regions in India. Just as the map of our country is marked with ever changing topography, the various cultures that are born from these changes help decorate the calendar with festivals and celebrations. 

India perhaps has more festivals than any other part of the world. Moreover, India's vast storehouse of myths gives endless reasons to celebrate.  Because in India, there is a festival for everything beautiful in life - lights, colours, music, dancing and sheer spirit. And this is exactly what Zing plans to showcase through the new show Spirit of India - The Festivals.

Apart from Spirit of India, Zing will also give a sneak peek into the lives of Bollywood stars and see how they carry themselves off-screen and onscreen with its new show Style Decode every Saturday at 8 pm.

Additionally, a show titled Harry Met Sally will be aired every Sunday at 8 pm. The show will feature gossips, events and movie reviews from Bollywood.

Zing will also add new content with its cookery shows, Kifayati Kitchen, The Urban Cook, All About Cooking and FilmiRasoi in the daily 6:30 pm slot.
