Star Sports keeps the fun coming with another ‘Mauka’ film

4 March 2015

Keeping up with its tradition of releasing a new TVC at the end of every India match this Cricket World Cup, Star Sports has rolled out its latest ‘Mauka’ (chance) film. This time the film looks to create buzz ahead of India’s game against the West Indies.
The film begins with expectant Pakistani and South African fans sitting in front of a television set as India wins again. Angered by what he has seen, the South African says, “Ghanta Mauka”. Once again, the distraught fans are interrupted by the ringing of the door bell. This time, it is not another fan, rather a shipment from Yepme.com with West Indian jerseys in them. As they excitedly try their jerseys on, the delivery man from Yepme.com reminds them to play holi, seeing how they will never get the chance to burst their crackers.
The film ends with a digital shot of a preview of the upcoming match with a voice over creating buzz for the game.

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."
