«India TV» is the first Russian channel dedicated to Indian films and television programs. It caters to those who enjoy Indian cinema and are interested in Indian culture. The channel features classic Bollywood films, premieres of new movies and series, music and news about Indian cinema, documentaries, and educational programs.
Cultural, economic, and political relations between Russia and India have always been friendly and constructive.
In the 1960s and 1970s, India was one of the main partners of the Soviet Union. Indian cinema was popular in our country, more than in any other country in the world.
In the 1990s, Indian cinema almost disappeared from our screens. This was due to the opening of the film market to all countries. A period of American cinema conquering our market began. For a while, it was indeed conquered. But interest in American and European cinema is unstable and, it must be admitted, is declining. While interest in Indian cinema is growing.
Today, India produces not only musical melodramas but also detectives, thrillers, action films, and social dramas. They are almost indistinguishable from European and American films in terms of passion, the professionalism of directors and performers.
