The BBC [reports](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37357101 "undefined") that the new channel, Zee Mundo, is the first attempt to bring Indian cinema to a Spanish-speaking market. It will eventually expand into Latin America. The channel is the work of Zee Entertainment Enterprises, one of India’s largest media companies; it will dub its entire Hindi-language film catalogue into Spanish. “We are confident that Zee Mundo’s programming will cross frontiers with storylines and themes that are relatable to the Hispanic audiences,” Amit Goenka, head of the company’s international operations, told the BBC. \[[_BBC_](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37357101 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4490745/spanish-language-bollywood-channel-zee-mundo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4490745/spanish-language-bollywood-channel-zee-mundo/"},"headline":"There's Now a Spanish-Language Bollywood Channel in the U.S.","datePublished":"2016-09-14T04:15:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T00:34:46.763Z","description":"Bringing Indian cinema to a Spanish-speaking market","url":"https://time.com/4490745/spanish-language-bollywood-channel-zee-mundo/","keywords":["movies","Entertainment","India","United States","Bollywood"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf1f7cf303a09670d/6988a5ece20a87f2eba92641/gettyimages-52477994.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nash Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/p-nash-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf1f7cf303a09670d/6988a5ece20a87f2eba92641/gettyimages-52477994.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Indian Film Industry Flourishes In Mumbai","caption":"Indian Film Industry Flourishes In Mumbai","creditText":"Ami Vitale—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4490745/spanish-language-bollywood-channel-zee-mundo/","name":"There's Now a Spanish-Language Bollywood Channel in the U.S."}}]}] ```
