Celebrate the festival of colours with different shades of life with Star Gold HD

18 March 2016

This Holi, Star Gold HD promises to add a dose of colourful entertainment to our lives. The channel brings together an eclectic mix of films to celebrate the festival of colours that brings to light the different shades of life. Each movie showcased represents a different aspect of life – Love, drama, confusion, action and laughter. The week-long movie extravaganza kickstarts on 21st March 2016.

Shahid Kapoor starrer, Chup Chup Ke, will be the first to air. An out-an-out laugh riot, the film showcases a row of hilarious consequences when Jeetu (Shahid Kapoor) poses to be a hearing and speech-impaired man. Second in line in Patiala House, which essays the story of Gattu (Akshay Kumar) who has to give up his life’s passion – cricket because his father is a hater of the game. Next up, is Sonam Kapoor’s Dolly ki Doli – a thoroughly entertaining story of Dolly who cons wealthy men into marrying her, only to abandon them on their first night together. Superstar Salman Khan’s Kick will be the penultimate film of the festival, giving you an opportunity to celebrate Holi with your favourite Devil. The festival will see its culmination with 2 States, the Alia Bhatt & Arjun Kapoor starrer, based on the real-life story of award-winning author Chetan Bhagat.

Join Star Gold HD this Holi to watch these cinematic gems that celebrate various hues of life!
Tune in to Star Gold HD and catch Colours of Life from 21st of March to 25th of March at 8:00PM.

Star Plus to attempt reclaiming the weekend prime time with ‘Mad In India'

Star Plus - Marketing and content strategy Head, Nikhil Madhok said, “Comedy was on our mind since a long time. But we didn’t want to come up with anything just for the sake of it. We waited to come up with something that we believe in." Madhok who also wanted to make Sundays entertaining for the viewers, added, “The show was conceptualised after we decided to extend our weekend programming till Saturday. While our fiction shows are more women-oriented, we wanted to make Sundays family oriented.

Is the Media in trouble? Mumbai Press Club holds discussion on subject

Uday Shankar, Star India CEO said, “Just because the media has become capital-intensive, doesn’t mean that it has to compromise on your integrity. Every business has to have a value system, and the editor needs to be sensitive to that. Journalists need to wake up to the economic reality, and it can’t be denied. On the other hand, those who recognise that are willing to swing to the other extreme and do anything. That also is neither healthy nor sustainable.”

Channel V plans more events

Prem Kamath, channel head, Channel V, adds, "Participation has gone up by almost 100 per cent. We have had 500-600 participants earlier, this year we had about 1000 participants in each zonal."
