Star Sports keeps the fun coming with another ‘Mauka’ film

4 March 2015

Keeping up with its tradition of releasing a new TVC at the end of every India match this Cricket World Cup, Star Sports has rolled out its latest ‘Mauka’ (chance) film. This time the film looks to create buzz ahead of India’s game against the West Indies.
The film begins with expectant Pakistani and South African fans sitting in front of a television set as India wins again. Angered by what he has seen, the South African says, “Ghanta Mauka”. Once again, the distraught fans are interrupted by the ringing of the door bell. This time, it is not another fan, rather a shipment from Yepme.com with West Indian jerseys in them. As they excitedly try their jerseys on, the delivery man from Yepme.com reminds them to play holi, seeing how they will never get the chance to burst their crackers.
The film ends with a digital shot of a preview of the upcoming match with a voice over creating buzz for the game.

Star Plus to attempt reclaiming the weekend prime time with ‘Mad In India'

Star Plus - Marketing and content strategy Head, Nikhil Madhok said, “Comedy was on our mind since a long time. But we didn’t want to come up with anything just for the sake of it. We waited to come up with something that we believe in." Madhok who also wanted to make Sundays entertaining for the viewers, added, “The show was conceptualised after we decided to extend our weekend programming till Saturday. While our fiction shows are more women-oriented, we wanted to make Sundays family oriented.

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."
