Bindass (also known as UTV Bindass) is a Hindi entertainment channel in India targeted at Indian youth. It was launched on 24 September 2007 under CEO Zarina Mehta.[1]

Bindass is defined by its brand values of being Fun, Frank, Fearless and Free. It is India's first 360 degree brand with verticals across television, web, mobile, gaming, merchandising & nationwide ground events.[2]

In February 2010, Bindass launched a new campaign titled "What I Am" which aimed at speaking for the youth of India, and dispel popular misconceptions about their attitude towards responsibilities.[3]

Current shows


Bindass India Concert

On January 13, 2008 Bindass presented a two hour live concert starring popular Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan at MMRDA Grounds, Mumbai. The entourage included stars Priyanka Chopra, Dia Mirza, Rakhi Sawant & Dino Morea. The concert was hosted by Sajid Khan, and choreographed by Ganesh Hegde.

Prior to the contest Bindass organized a nationwide contest called Dance with SRK contest where the lucky winners would get to dance with Shah Rukh Khan on stage. Through a lucky dip, three winners - Andrew from Kolkatta, Richa from Lucknow and 9 year old Vidhi from Mumbai were chosen to dance with Shahrukh Khan.[4] The concert was telecast on Bindass on 26 January 2008 on the Indian Republic Day.

A video of Esha slapping a contestant Ravi Bhatia from Bindass' reality TV show 'Dadagiri' has attained the status of an internet meme under title of "How can she slap?".[5]
