India also saw Fox Star Studios setting a new record with 10 Hollywood hits including X Men: Days of Future Past, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, How to Train your Dragon 2, Exodus, Rio 2, Gone Girl, Penguins of Madagascar, The Fault in our stars, Maze Runner & Night at the Museum 3.
Fox Star Studios managed to generate about Rs.200 Crores Box Office from its Hollywood films, and retained its No.1 position for the 3rd time in the past 6 years. Fox Star Studios have had a great run in India, with the biggest Hollywood grossers of all time Avatar (No.1 with Rs. 144 Crores GBO) & Life of Pi (No. 2 with 95 Crores GBO), and various other blockbuster franchises including X Men films and Ice Age films.

High hopes for ‘Satyamev Jayate 2’

With a tagline that reads: ‘Jinhe Desh Ki Fikar Hai’, season two promises hard-hitting content like before but the format will be different.

Star Plus' rejigged programming pays off

Gaurav Bannerjee, Head, Star Plus explains, “While it is true that the increase in ratings is a result of extendng the weekday strategy to Saturday, I also believe it is because of the stickiness of our content. Our weekday prime time has 11 shows out of which almost 5 to 6 are in the top ten every week. So our content, which we have worked very hard to suit the contemporary Indian woman across geographies, has found a hook with our audience."

Ajit Mohan, Head, New Media, Star India said, “Digital should be an incremental leap in the way people consume sports.
