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!
10th January to 31st January, 8:00 PM only on Star Gold HD

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."
