This festive season, Zee Theatre is announcing an unprecedented theatre extravaganza for its viewers, every single day. The festival of 30 plays in 30 days is titled as 'Har Din Naya Drama' and will entertain and engage viewers every day at 2 pm and 8 pm on Tata Play Theatre. This is a celebration of the best of classic, contemporary, and clutter-breaking content of India's vast and diverse theatre fraternity. Under this campaign, the viewers will enjoy both old favourites as well brand new, original plays under the 'Blockbuster' and
