Zee Marathi is bringing back two of its most iconic and long-running shows, ‘Home Minister’ and ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’, in a move that is expected to rekindle nostalgia among viewers while strengthening the channel’s connection with Marathi audiences.
The return of the two popular franchises also marks the comeback of familiar faces Aadesh Bandekar and Avadhoot Gupte, both of whom have played a significant role in shaping the identity and success of the shows over the years.
According to a Zee Marathi press release, the channel is continuing its focus on creating content that resonates with Marathi households and celebrates the culture, traditions, and aspirations of Maharashtra. The revival of ‘Home Minister’ and ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’ is part of that larger vision.
For more than two decades, ‘Home Minister’ has occupied a special place in Marathi television, becoming much more than a game show. The programme has been a part of family gatherings, celebrations, and everyday conversations across the state. With Aadesh Bandekar returning as the beloved ‘Bhauji,’ viewers can once again look forward to the show’s trademark warmth and emotional connect.
The familiar call of “Daar Ughad Baye, Daar Ughad…” is set to return to television screens, bringing with it memories of the show’s journey through homes across Maharashtra. The new season is expected to continue celebrating family bonds, relationships, and the spirit of togetherness that has made the programme a household favourite.
Alongside ‘Home Minister’, Zee Marathi is also reviving ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’, one of Marathi television’s most respected singing reality franchises. Over the years, the platform has introduced audiences to several talented singers and has played a key role in nurturing musical talent from across the state.
The upcoming season promises to showcase fresh voices, inspiring stories, and memorable musical performances while continuing the show’s tradition of celebrating Maharashtra’s rich musical heritage. The programme is expected to provide aspiring singers with a platform to pursue their dreams and connect with audiences across generations.
The return of Avadhoot Gupte is expected to add to the excitement surrounding the new season. Known for his deep passion for music, candid feedback, and ability to mentor emerging artists, Gupte has been closely associated with the show’s success and remains a popular figure among viewers.
Together, ‘Home Minister’ and ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’ represent two of Zee Marathi’s strongest and most enduring television properties. While one celebrates family values and relationships, the other highlights talent, ambition, and the transformative power of music.
With the revival of these beloved shows, Zee Marathi aims to offer audiences a blend of nostalgia and fresh entertainment, reinforcing its position as one of Maharashtra’s leading entertainment channels. The return of these iconic franchises is expected to resonate strongly with viewers who have grown up watching them and continue to hold them close to their hearts.
As the channel prepares to launch the new seasons, both programmes are set to once again bring families together and celebrate the values, culture, and spirit that define Maharashtra.
