Tata Play has unveiled a nostalgic new offering, ‘Tata Play Superhit Serials,’ a Value-Added Service set to captivate audiences with beloved TV shows from the 2000s. The service will relaunch several iconic Star Plus serials, which have remained etched in the memories of viewers for years.

The collaboration with Star Plus aims to rejuvenate these classic shows and make them accessible to today’s viewers.
