Next stop Bangkok for ZEE Cine Awards

Popular Asian TV broadcaster, ZEE Network, has confirmed the next stop for its prestigious ZEE Cine Awards 2007, which will be held in Bangkok in March.

Next year’s event will also mark the tenth year for the ZEE Cine Awards. They take place on Saturday 3rd March 2007 at Impact Arena, Bangkok.

Announcing the launch of the ZEE Cine Awards 2007, Pradeep Guha, CEO ZEE Telefilms said, “ZEE Cine Awards has been going international for three years now, but what continues to make it special is that going beyond the mere exotic value of foreign locales, each ZEE Cine Awards has done its bit to take Bollywood to the world. And going by the enthusiastic response we get each time, the appetite has only gotten bigger and better! We hope Bangkok will set new records.”

Since ZEE Network is the largest Indian satellite broadcasting network across the world, (larger than the cumulative strength of all its competitors), its 350-million strong audience from across India and the globe automatically forms the voter-base of ZEE Cine Awards this makes it the largest and truest measure of people’s choice in cinema awards with the best of Bollywood chosen through these viewer votes alongwith critics’ voices.

A press release from ZEE Network said; “Bangkok, the capital of Thailand is an incredible and intoxicating blend of culture, history, modernity, exotica, education and entertainment which never fails to amaze. As various cultural skeins ranging from Chinese and Indian to Arab, European and Malay nationalities blend seamlessly in this throbbing metropolis, and temples and boats jostle with skyscrapers and spas, Bangkok is the ideal destination to play host to the spectacular and emotional occasion that is ZEE Cine Awards 2007.”

The ZEE Cine Awards in 2005 took place in London, where the new look of ZEE Network was revealed. Earlier this year the awards ceremony was held in Mauritius.
