STAR Gold touches new heights with 'Singham'

STAR Gold will be making television history with the premiere of 2011's highest grosser 'Singham' on September 10 at 9 p.m., while the movie is still running to packed houses.

'Singham's' weekend schedule would offer families a great opportunity to enjoy their own private screening at their homes while the movie is still drawing full houses in cinemas across the country.
"The 'Singham' telecast is the first of the many blockbusters to be screened on STAR Gold in future, including, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, RA-ONE, Housefull 2. Given the extraordinarily high viewership these screenings will generate, advertisers can directly and most effectively reach TV Homes with their messaging and reap rich dividends.” Hemal Jhaveri, Senior Vice President, Star Gold, said.
The 'Singham' screening is another programming coup of sorts for STAR Gold. 'Singham' has already grossed Rs 100 Crore at the box office and is still generating unprecedented receipts.  Directed by noted filmmaker Rohit Shetty, 'Singham' is 2011’s biggest blockbuster. 
Building on Bajirao Singham’s brave and fearless attitude, Star Gold has adopted rigorous and widespread marketing and promotional activities including cross channel TV Promotion, Outdoor and Print besides Trade communication.
Celebrating the 'Tashan' of Bajirao Singham, larger than life images of Ajay Devgan will be seen displayed at strategic locations across Mumbai, Delhi and select territories of UP. Highlighting Rohit Shetty’s signature style a unique eye-catching mobile van innovation with an image of a car toppled by Bajirao Singham will be soon seen travelling on the streets of Mumbai.

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."
