Due to Our understanding of The Media and Marketing mix & its dynamics we have created Events with High PR / buzz values, can be scalable based on briefs and budgets by our clientele. 6. Corporate Social Responsibility: CSR is a new stream that we are building and have worked with several organizations and individuals to create IP's that have a heart. Most recent being 'Swades Foundation' for which a campaign thought that we created is set into execution mode for Zarina Mehta and her team. Similarly, we are creating a campaign thought for South Indian Star Dhanush in regards with his personality and image in public and movies. Hence As a company, we conduct an in depth analysis of the celebrities image in general public and create intellectual properties which the star can support year on year. Once the idea is approved by the star, we pitch the same thought process to varied brands involved in similar line of business. Hence creating a synergy between the brand, the celebrity and the particular cause to which both of the entities would like to lend a helping hand to. Page | 5 The Benefits to the Celebrity through this association are as follows: 1. Better Platform for the brand and the celebrity through the mutually helpful collaboration 2. The Celebrity can actually witness the help reaching out to the intended people rather than giving away an amount to a NGO. As an intern I had this opportunity of working in most of the fields of their work. Our main aim and objective was to come up with ideas and strategies. Also as we have exclusive tie ups with some companies in all the mentioned fields of work, we used to roll up our sleeves for any of their upcoming events, TV show briefs, Print IPs, movies etc. Germination sessions throughout the week helped me to gel well with other employees and associates of the company and align my thought process, with that of the company and the industry. Most of our work was done in the form of Presentations using PowerPoint. A special format or sequence of slides was to be followed when we used to create formats of television shows and IP‘s. The allocation of work to me was generally given on daily basis, where in some cases we used to work on the basis of client brief. Page | 6 ROLE AS AN INTERN This internship exposed me to a lot of new experiences which have given me a lot of knowledge and depth into the Media and Entertainment Industry. The internship program was from May 2, 2014 to 30th June, 2014 Roles and Responsibilities: a. Creating a 360 degree Marketing plan for the upcoming Bollywood Movies b.

Brand integration thought processes for events. f. Creating Intellectual Properties relating to Corporate Social Responsibility for Corporate and Celebrities Page | 7 2. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW a) TV industry : Television in India is a huge industry and has thousands of programs in all the states of India. The small screen has produced numerous celebrities of their own kind some even attaining national fame. TV soaps are extremely popular with housewives as well as working women. Approximately half of all Indian households own a television. As of 2010, a total number of 515 channels are available in the country out of which 150 are pay channels. b) Print Industry : Indian print media is one of the largest print media in the world. The history of it started in 1780, with the publication of the Bengal Gazette from Calcutta. The Indian language papers have taken over the English press as per the latest NRS survey of newspapers; the reason being the growing literacy rate which has a direct positive effect on the rise of circulation of the regional papers. The people are first educated in their mother tongue as per their state in which they live for e.g. students in Maharashtra are compulsory taught Marathi language and hence they are educated in their state language and the first thing a literate person does is read papers and gain knowledge and hence higher the literacy rate in a state the sales of the dominating regional paper in that state rises. c) Movie Industry : The Hindi language film industry of Mumbai—also known as Bollywood—is the largest and most popular branch of Indian cinema. Hindi cinema initially explored issues of caste and culture in films such as Achhut Kanya (1936) and Sujata (1959). Hindi cinema grew during the 1990s with the release of as many as 215 films. With Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Hindi cinema registered its commercial presence in the Western world. India has the world's biggest movie industry in terms of the number of movies produced (around 800 movies annually, mostly in the Hindi language. Tamil, Telegu, Page | 8 Bengali and Malayalam are the languages in which most of the non-Hindi films are made). Today, the technology of film-making in India is perhaps the best among all developing countries though the films themselves remain mostly repetitive in storyline and content. Superior movies, in thematic and creative terms, are made in many developing countries with less sophisticated technologies. According to unofficial estimates available in January 2001, the Indian film industry has an annual turnover of Rs. 60 billion (approximately US$1.33 billion). d) Sports Industry : Sports in India include cricket, chess, badminton, field hockey, tennis, association football and golf. Field Hockey is the official national sport in India, and the country has eight Olympic gold medals in field hockey, though cricket is the most popular. Other popular sports include football, tennis, volleyball, and badminton. After the 1982 Asian Games hosted in New Delhi, the capital city now has modern sports facilities, and similar facilities are also being developed in other parts of the country. Besides sports and games included in the international sporting agenda, there are many which have developed indigenously. Throughout the country a wide variety of sports are played. India is home to several traditional sports which originated in the country and continue to remain fairly popular.

  • UTV Acquires the Feature Film Rights of Ashwin Sanghi's
    UTV acquires the Feature Film rights of Ashwin Sanghi’s ‘Chanakya’s Chant’ ~ A film based on the #1 National Bestseller to go on floors soon ~ Mumbai, Wednesday, June 15th, 2011: UTV Motion Pictures has acquired rights to Ashwin Sanghi’s national bestseller - Chanakya’s Chant, published by Westland. The interesting fast-paced story based on politics in two radically different eras will now be adapted into a film by the studio. Chanakya's Chant, a historical political thriller, released by Westland in January 2011, shot into the Top-5 Bestsellers of India within 2 weeks of its launch, proving that Chanakya’s neetis are as relevant today as they were in ancient times. The book narrates two parallel political tales, one in Chanakya’s puranic Bharat 2300 years ago and the other in post-independence contemporary India. While the ancient story is largely historical, based upon Chanakya’s rise to power and the clever tactics applied by him towards installing Chandragupta Maurya on the throne, the modern story is mostly fictional and tells the tale of Kanpur’s Pandit Gangasagar Mishra who draws inspiration from the master strategist Chanakya and employs his strategies in a modern context to get his protégée Chandini Gupta appointed to the highest office in India. On announcing the film, Siddharth Roy Kapur, CEO, UTV Motion Pictures, said "Chanakya’s Chant is one of those rare books with a storyline that has the potential to be translated into a superbly cinematic and immensely entertaining screenplay. The tale is about the underbelly of national politics which the book superbly exposes, where strategies developed by Chanakya 2300 years ago are still as valid in the modern day political scenario.

You are playing a Parsi character in the film, so did you research on Parsi rituals? The film is not based on Paris religion so I didn't have to learn Paris' language. I just played the character in the film. My best friend and manager are also Parsi, so from them I learned about Parsi. From 'Airlift' to 'Rustom', the time gap between one film to the other is very less, how do you manage time in a year as you are doing so many films back to back? See a film needs only forty Shahnaz Husain Dusky / Olive: (Slightly dark) to forty five days for shoot- Dusky, or olive complexions, look better with brown- ing.

It should be a colour that year though earlier I used to when brothers and sisters celebrate the loving bond will add some glow to the skin. For blushers, avoid mauves do six films. After doing four between them. Like all festive occasions, girls love to dress and light pink. Go with darker pink, or even some brown films also, I get around hun- up and look their best.

Non-stop beeping has become the domi- nant soundtrack to Mumbai as clattering rickshaws, public buses, clapped-out taxis, weaving motorbikes and private cars fight for space on the traffic-clogged roads. Now two separate teams in the city have come up with devices aimed at instilling some peace: one by forcing overzealous horn- users to open their wallets, and another by simply attacking drivers’ consciences. “People blow their horns just for no sake,” said Jayraj Salgaonkar, who with a group of engineers has developed the ‘Oren horn usage meter’ (the name ‘Oren’ derives from local pronunciation of the word ‘horn’).
