India’s resounding defeat of South Africa in its cricket World Cup tie sees Star Sports release its latest campaign, titled ‘#MaukePeChauka!’ One would recall the ‘Mauka Mauka’ film ahead of the India-South Africa match, where two SA fans good-humouredly taunted an Indian cricket fan. This is a continuation of the campaign series that started with the ‘Firecracker’ film before for the India-Pakistan tie.
The ‘#MaukePeChauka!’ film features the Pakistani fan from the first film, now wearing a South African team jersey, watching the India-South Africa game with the two South African fans from the previous film. As we hear the commentator announcing that India has beaten South Africa for the first time in the World Cup, the Pakistani shows his frustration by breaking a firecracker and removing the South African jersey as the door bell rings. When he opens the door, he is greeted by a fan of the UAE cricket team who offers him the UAE jersey, against whom India is playing next. The film ends with the voiceover announcing, ‘Yeh World Cup nahin, yeh hai World vs India’.
The films in this series has been conceived by the internal team at Star Sports, and produced by BubbleWrap Films.

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."
