The Star India network has joined forces with Jackky Bhagnani’s Jjust Music and Cape of Good Films to put its might behind ‘Muskurayega India’ in public interest to help build hope and positivity in these distressing times. ‘Muskurayega India’ has received enormous appreciation from across the country for the manner in which many of India’s favourite actors self- shot their portions following all norms of social distancing to help create what has emerged as an anthem of hope and inspiration for the people of a nation during the pandemic. Such was its impact that even our Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appreciated the initiative for uplifting the spirit of the nation and shared it by re-tweeting it.

Speaking about this new development, Jackky Bhagnani shares, “I’m humbled and honoured by the heart-warming response the anthem has been receiving. It was conceptualised as a small step to ignite hope in everyone’s heart, which is now charting its own path to reach every corner of the nation. This collaboration with the Star India network will help us take hope in the name of Muskurayega India to every phone and TV screen across households. This is a great moment for all of us who have been a part of this initiative.”

“These are testing times for the country and we want to help in spreading hope and positivity to all through the power of our network. Star India has always been at the forefront to inspire a billion imaginations, and we are thrilled to take Muskurayega India to every corner of the country,” said K Madhavan, Managing Director, Star and Disney India.

Curated by Jjust Music and composed and sung by the talented Vishal Mishra, ‘Muskurayega India’ is a symbol of India’s spirit of solidarity, battling against the pandemic. The song has meaningful lyrics penned by Kaushal Kishore. The anthem is being presented by Cape of Good Films and Jackky Bhagnani's Jjust Music partnered with Star India network to help strengthen the movement that the anthem has started.

The initiative that brought some positivity to the people of India, marks the coming together of the fraternity for a cause.

Life OK charts a winning strategy

“Life OK was supposed to be a challenger to the No. 1 slot within the network. We had the full backing of the management in terms of intent and investment. But the proof that we can actually do it has come only in the last 6-8 months. We have grown to 14 per cent share and reached No. 4. But more importantly, people are taking notice that in terms of reach, we are as good as the top channel! Having said that, we are getting as many failures as we are getting hits. So there is more we need to do

Life OK: Rising Star

Sanjay Gupta, COO, Star India, "Star One wasn't sharply positioned. It didn't make much sense to either viewers or advertisers. There was an opportunity to talk to conservative India, where people believe in the importance of tradition and family. The revenues of Life OK are much more than five times those of Star One. It has the potential to be the next No 1."
