Star Plus unveils new show through Cousins Day social media app

24 July 2014

Leading Hindi general entertainment channel (GEC) Star Plus has initiated a special move to unveil its new fiction show ‘Nisha Aur Uske Cousins’.

Celebrating the World Cousins Day on 24 July, the channel aims to get its viewers closer to their cousins. Taking forward its tagline of ‘Rishta Vahi, Soch Nayi’, the channel is launching a special social media application to celebrate the day.

Star Plus SVP marketing and programming strategy Nikhil Madhok said, “Star Plus is taking the opportunity to celebrate this significant day by developing a social media app which will let people create a personalised video capturing all the special memories and ‘cousin moments’ and share it with the world.”

The app on the channel’s official website will enable viewers to select their favourite pictures with their cousins and turn them into a personalised video with fun quotes and messages. Viewers can create their own personalised cousin’s film and share it with them.

Star Plus aims to make the day a special affair in the build-up to its soon-to-be-launched fiction series. The first look of the show was unveiled on Star Plus’ YouTube channel today. Set in Jaipur, the story will explore the bonding between Nisha and her cousins.

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."
