26 November 2014

 English movie channel Star Movies will premiere the ‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’ on 30 November.

Airing at 9 pm, the movie will tell a story of self-discovery.
Star India English Cluster GM Kevin Vaz said, “The journeys and adventures we take in our lives professionally and personally are waiting for that first step which might look like a risk. At Star Movies no step, no move is too risky if it means that our viewers will be benefited by it. This weekend, let’s all take a cue from Walter Mitty to live life to the fullest and enjoy the wonderful journey called life.”
Directed by American actor, comedian and film-maker Ben Stiller, who also stars in this adaptation of James Thurber’s classic, the film sees Walter Mitty as a photo editor at ‘Life Magazine’ in New York who enjoys his work but is about to lose his job as the company shifts and downsizes.
He craves for more but lacks the courage and confidence to chase his dreams and come out of his shell. But when his job and that of his co-worker are threatened, he embarks on a transformational global journey that turns into an adventure more extraordinary than anything he could have ever imagined.

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."

The tussle over live cricket scores

Ajit Mohan, Head, New Media, Star India said, “Digital should be an incremental leap in the way people consume sports. But if you look at the current crop of digital sports service companies, it has been a huge regressive step backwards, because essentially you’re trying to describe a match through text commentary."
