Shares in Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd fall as much as 5 percent after Goldman Sachs downgraded the television broadcaster to "neutral" from "buy", saying the stock appears "fairly valued" given macro headwinds that could hurt advertisement spending.

Zee shares were down 3.8 % as of 12:49 p.m.
