Star Gold HD dedicates the entire month of January to movie aficionados

7 January 2016

Star Gold HD announces a film festival which is every movie buff’s dream come true! The channel handpicks 30 of the choicest films that are a must see in one’s lifetime. Starting 10th January to 31st January at 8:00 PM, ‘30 Films to watch before you die’ promises to leave an indelible mark in the hearts and minds of its viewers.

The festival will outset with the perfectionist and superstar Aamir Khan’s ‘Rang De Basanti’, a landmark film in the history of Indian Cinema. Such was the impact of the film ‘No One Killed Jessica’, that for the first time ever, we saw real life being played out in reel life with Jessica Lal’s murder case being reopened after a tremendous youth outrage inspired by this cinematic masterpiece.  Next in line is Anurag Kashyap’s much-hyped film ‘Black Friday’, a true story based on 1993 Bombay bomb blasts, followed by Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Rock On’ and the evergreen ‘Cheeni Kum’.
Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s blockbuster film ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ will kick-start the second week of the festival. ‘Hera Pheri’, ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbai’, ‘Gangaajal’, ‘Rockstar’ and ‘Highway’ will also be showcased as the part of the second-week festivity. The festival will culminate with the family entertainers like ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum’, ‘Johnny Gaddar’ and ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Doobara’.
So block your dates and stay glued to the TV sets to watch all the ’30 Films to watch before you Die’ in a span of three weeks!

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."
