  • Star Bharat announces ‘Swayamavar: Mika Di Vohti’ to amp up programming lineup

    Star Bharat announces ‘Swayamavar: Mika Di Vohti’ to amp up programming lineup

    Mumbai: Star Bharat has announced the launch of its latest show “Swaymavar: Mika Di Vohti,” which aims to find a perfect life partner for singer Mika Singh. With this show, the channel hopes to target all age group across the country and attract brands from different categories with its 360-marketing campaign.

    In a conversation with IndianTelevision.com, Disney Star head-network entertainment channels Kevin Vaz talks about the ideation journey and marketing strategy for the show, as well as Star Bharat’s plans for the future.

    The forthcoming show is going to be on air five days a week, but the channel is yet to reveal the release date or time slot for it.”‘Swaymavar Mika Di Vohti’ is produced by SOL and is going to be one of the biggest on-screen Swayamavars ever,” Vaz asserts.

    “Swaymavar: Mika Di Vohti” is themed on entertainment and love, and Star Bharat is gearing up to expand its audience base beyond its regular market i.e. Delhi, Punjab, and Madhya Pradesh.

    “Mika Di Vohit is going to be a family show and our target is to expand our audience base beyond the Hindi speaking markets,” Vaz tells.

    The upcoming show is an addition to their content revamp which aims to bring in variety on Star Bharat. The revamp started back in 2021 and the process is still on. Last month the channel launched “Woh Toh Hai Albela”- a show already creating a buzz in the market. The channel is also planning to launch “Gud Se Meetha Ishq” and “Kall Bhairav” in the coming months. Vaz shares that they have some more shows in the pipeline which will add value to its bouquet of content. 

    On being asked how it is going to be different from the other on-screen Swayamvars that we have witnessed over the last few years, Vaz says that one thing which makes Star Bharat and its shows unique is their background research. “Before bringing any new property on board, we make sure that we research to understand what the audience is looking for. Right now after a long halt on TV production due to Covid-19 and lockdowns, people are eagerly looking for happy and positive entertainment. We believe that there could be no better time to launch Mika Di Vohti than this,” he adds.

    Sharing why he believes that this particular show will help Star Bharat to expand its audience base, he explains, “Marriage in India is seen as a very pure as well as a huge event. At the same time, Mika has a huge fan base not just in Hindi speaking market or in India but all across the world. “We firmly believe that his popularity and our strategies will do wonders together. Mika Di Vohit will not only make Indian consumers invest emotionally in the show but will also give them a perfect entertainment package which they always look forward to,” Vaz tells.

    When asked what categories of advertisers are on board for the show, Vaz says that they do not have any brand on board yet. “However, we are pretty sure that right after today’s launch, we will get a great response from all categories.”

    The show is just launched so it will be a little too early in the process to have advertisers on board. Right now, we do not have even a single advertiser but I am observing a positive response from the industry and expecting to get a variety of brands for this family reality show,” he elucidates. 

    As the registration for Mika Di Vohti has begun, we are receiving a promising response from the participants too. Star Bharat is quite confident about its ideation for the upcoming Swayamavar. The idea has immense potential to reach masses and no brand would want to leave this golden opportunity to associate with consumers, he adds further. 

    Furthermore, he also opens up about the marketing strategy for this upcoming show. The channel will take a 360 route to use most of the marketing channels simultaneously. 

    The channel also aims to make #MikaDiVohti one of the most popular hashtags in the upcoming days. For this they’re planning to invest heavily in digital marketing supported by out-of-home and offline marketing.

  • #AajTakSabseTez rolls out new film ‘Zara Jhukke’

    #AajTakSabseTez rolls out new film ‘Zara Jhukke’

    NEW DELHI: As part of the ongoing viral campaign #AajTakSabseTez, news channel Aaj Tak has launched the fifth film of the series. Titled Zara Jhukke, the film features Chitra Tripathi and throws light on how increasingly many news channels have political leanings and biases. Aaj Tak on the other hand does not need to do that. It believes in straight forward reporting without any political leanings.

    Conceptualised and directed by the widely acclaimed writer-director Pradeep Sarkar, #AajTakSabseTez campaign is a satirical take on the current news environment in the country and entertainingly highlights the relaxed standards of reporting by some players in the age of fake news. The first film Sach Ka Band brought to light the exaggeration of events while presenting the news; the second film Achaar Gully highlighted the importance of credibility over sensationalism; the third film Afwaah showed the rampant practice of rumour mongering in news and the fourth film Khabaristan took a dig at resorting to convenient truths. The campaign is already talk of the town as many celebrities including Sania Mirza, Ashutosh Rana, Jwala Gutta, Mika, Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina and many more have been tweeting about it. 

    Aaj Tak and its brave journalists have brought a ringside view of every major happening in the country. While many news outlets may have clear leanings, Aaj Tak has always taken the middle ground, without any bias. As the depth of echo chambers increases, the need for a shared platform where both sides can be heard is essential. A place where people can agree to disagree is the need of the hour. Aaj Tak is that listening room, that middle ground for the two sides to continue a meaningful dialogue. What else is a society if not a vibrant conversation in progress?

    These films, while depicting Aaj Tak’s relentless pursuit to always side with the truth, are equally sure to put a smile on your face.

  • &TV eyes growth & increased viewership with ‘The Voice’ launch in June

    &TV eyes growth & increased viewership with ‘The Voice’ launch in June

    MUMBAI: Hindi general entertainment channels (GEC) have found a gold mine of sorts in reality shows. For the last decade or so channels have tried and tested almost every kind of reality show to entertain audiences. From dance and singing competitions, quiz contests to youth-centric high octane adventure reality show, all formats have tried to woo the audience and have come back with new seasons year after year.

     

    Adapting to a similar format, the newest entrant in the television GEC space, &TV is all set to launch The Voice in June. The show will see a unique format and have coaches like Himesh Reshammiya, Mika, Shaan and Sunidhi Chauhan.

     

    Speaking to Indiantelevision.com about the USP of The Voice, &TV business head Rajesh Iyer said, “As a format, the USP is that the coaches don’t see the contestant. There are one or more coaches, who are going to press the buzzer and it will be the singer who will choose the coach and not the other way round. The pressure is not only on the singer but also on the coaches to pick their team mate.”

     

    Divided into three phases, the first phase of The Voice will have blind auditions, followed by the Battles and Live performance. “We have stuck to the original international format that people are familiar with. For me, the main differentiator is that the pressure is on both sides: coaches as well as the singers,” added Iyer.

     

    Come 6 June and The Voice will replace &TV’s current show Killer Karaoke on weekends, which is aired in the 9 pm slot. The Voice will begin with 26 episodes over a span of 13 weeks.

     

    Iyer informed, “While India Poochega Sabse Shaana Kaun achieved the objective of the launch with the weekday programming slot, The Voice is a different property and will take us to the next level both in terms of growth and viewership.”

     

    Speaking to this website on the association with &TV, Endemol India MD & CEO Deepak Dhar said, “Outside of Bigg Boss and Fear Factor, this is the third biggest show that we are doing. We have been wanting to do The Voice for a long time. It had come to us about two or three years back but we didn’t get the deal back then. However, when the opportunity came to us again, we grabbed it.”

     

    He further added, “The Voice is probably the most organic format of choosing talent. This is the first time that the pressure is on the coaches and not only on the singers. It’s different content. Of course the singing is good, the talent is phenomenal and the reality itself is very sticky.”

     

     

    Dhar further said that this was just the beginning of Endemol India’s association with The Voice and the production house would be keen on associating with it for the future seasons as well. “It’s just the start and it’s such a big format. For us, focus is always to get back to the format.”

     

    The show will adapt a 360 degree marketing approach. While the marketing strategy is still under wraps, the programme has on board Chings as the ‘Powered By’ sponsor and Maruti Alto K10 as ‘Presenting Sponsor.’

     

    Shaan said, “The Voice is an extremely popular format globally. It’s the most sought after show for any singer/musician. If you want to be on television and on a music show it has to be The Voice India! What clicked for me is that every round is exciting – very different and innovative. I am certain that the audience will enjoy the show.”

     

    Mika Singh added, “I was thrilled when I was approached to be the coach on the maiden edition of The Voice in India. It is a big property internationally and I am happy that I got this opportunity to be a part of it. I am thoroughly looking forward to finding a voice that has an exceptional quality.. something real and versatile that will make heads turn.”

     

    Reshammiya said, “The format of this show is exceptional; such a format has never been experimented with, in India. I feel wonderful and I am extremely excited to be a part of the show. The Voice India has no concept of judges. But as a coach you will see me groom my team members mentally and melodiously, thus guiding towards success. As the same suggests the show solely focuses on the voice of the contestant.”

     

    Chauhan, the only female coach on the show asserted, “Nothing before The Voice India triggered any excitement in me. I have followed the international editions especially the US one and I was awestruck with the quality of talent and the fact that they are chosen purely on the basis of their voice through blind auditions where the coaches have no clue about the singers. So, when the format came to India and the makers approached me, I was ecstatic. The Voice India is here to redefine the music reality show space and I am happy to be on board.”

     

    Singing reality shows like Indian Idol and Indian Idol Junior on Multi Screen Media’s Sony Entertainment Television and other such shows have seen considerable success on Indian television. Speaking about a show like The Voice coming to India, MSM president Rohit Gupta told Indiantelevision.com, “The format has been doing very well since its inception. Be it Indian Idol or Indian Idol Junior 2 that we recently launched. Other channels have adopted the format for the simple reason that it has the potential to do well for them too.”

     

    With its unconventional approach and slick set-up, The Voice India is likely to find favour with new-age Indians, who are always yearning for an exclusive and never seen before experience. The coaches on the show will up the ante and raise the bar a notch higher than before. After mentoring and grooming contestants, the final power lies in the hands of the audiences to choose their favourite voice to find the country’s most promising vocalist and the winner of the title – The Voice India.

  • Channel V’s V Fest now set to treat audiences twice a year

    Channel V’s V Fest now set to treat audiences twice a year

    GOA: Channel V’s flagship live event property “India Fest” is all set to be held twice a year henceforth. Speaking at the event that was held at the Baga Grounds on 13 and 14 February, an official channel spokesperson says, “In the first six months of the year, we will have the live mega event in Goa while during the other six months we will conduct V Fest Tours across the country where winners from the fest in Goa will be taken for the shows that we hope will ignite the rock and pop culture.”

     

    Speaking about how live events will enhance the channel’s offering, the spokesperson adds, “Today’s youth are no longer stuck to the television. Events are an essential part of college life, which no one forgets. As a corporate we decided to offer that to them on a large scale where they could fast track their passion into a career. This helps them focus and believe in what our channel has to offer them.”

     

    Day one of the fest had performances by DJ Suketu, the band Underground Authority as well as singer turned Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana. On the second day Shilpa Rao, Mika Singh and Varun Dhawan entertained audiences. Channel sources placed the day one turnout during the day at 13,000 people turning up while 21,000 turned out at night. Day two had almost double the crowd number, the source claimed.

     

    When queried on the innovations that the channel introduced this year, the official spokesperson informs that, firstly it integrated the fest with television channel. “The channel has created a weekend property, which is a eight episode series called the V Fest Show. The shows include various performances, contests and on ground activity that the fest managed to put up. Two of the episodes have already been aired. The eight episode series will also include a finale show of two and a half hour,” the spokesperson informs.

     

    Secondly, the hosts and anchors for this edition of the fest were all popular faces from the channel’s various shows. This was done to resonate its programming with the crowd. Thirdly it decided to rebrand the name India Fest as V Fest from this edition for better brand recall of the channel. The spokesperson also adds that the channel brought in a big name like Varun Dhawan because they felt he embodies the youth of today quite well.

     

    This edition of the fest had Microsoft as the title sponsor, while the other sponsors on board included Ponds Men and Parle. Maybelline was the grooming partner, while Mufti was the style partner. The event was supported by Star India with Red 93.5 FM as the radio partner. The channel took close to six months to plan for the fest. Brainstorming for next year’s edition will commence by March this year.

     

    On the marketing front, the channel roped in 1000 college ambassadors for the fest in various colleges in India to help build buzz. Besides initiatives in various metros like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore, Channel V also undertook zonal marketing programs in cities like Pune where close to 10,000 people turned out for the contests versus a crowd of only 700 to 800 people it managed to garner in previous season. The channel also brandished the fest at airports besides hoardings in metros.

     

    A media planning and buying expert placed the marketing expenses of the channel between the range of Rs 5 – 6 crore across markets. The channel spokesperson claimed it had reduced spending on the marketing front this year by close to five per cent as compared to last year.

     

    When quizzed as to why Channel V decided to convert the fest into a bi-annual event, the official spokesperson says, “We have received 10 million unique impressions on our digital platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram. We do not want to lose this traction. We want to offer them something about the fest for the rest of the year through the tours and help maintain the brands offering in colleges from where the target audience of the fest comes in.”

     

    Goa will now be a permanent venue for the V Fest.

    MUMBAI: It sure will be a vibrant, colourful, musical evening, when the Li’l Champs of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa celebrate Republic Day this Saturday and Sunday at 9pm. The episode with the theme of different colours of India will see these little wonders dressed in traditional attires of various states of India, singing regional songs. Adding to the fun element of the show, will be the power-packed performer and singer Mika Singh who will be seen as a special guest on the show.

     

    Mika, was ecstatic to be amidst the Li’l Champs and brought the house down with his performance on ‘Mohe rand de basanti’. He was also quite elated to be with his buddy Shaan and was on the show to support his team of ‘Cool Boys’. The singer, who started his musical journey in 2006 has belted out quite a few chartbusters since then but never has he got the opportunity to sing with the queen of melody and Mahaguru of Sa Re Ga MaPa L’il Champs Alka Yagnik. So apart from having fun with kids and awarding them shagun of Rs 5000 each for their outstanding performances, Mika also took this opportunity to fulfill his long-standing dream.  He expressed his desire to share the stage with Alka and requested her to sing a duet with him. Well, the gracious Alka Ji immediately obliged and happily came on stage. The two then sang together the popular song ‘Koi mil gaya’ from the film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. It was their first duet together and the glee on Mika’s face on his dream coming true was pretty evident. The Captains Monali and Shaan couldn’t keep themselves far away on this historical moment and soon joined the duo on stage.

     

    The Li’l Champ who stood out with her exceptional performance this week was 11 year old, Arunita Kanjilal from West Bengal. Bringing alive the flavour of Maharashtra, dressed aptly in a green Navvari saree, she enthralled the audience and Captains alike with her performance on the famous lavani song ‘‘Haath Naka Lau Maajha Saadi La’. So apt were her expressions and harkats, that special guest Mika almost thought that this young talent hails from Maharashtra. Mahaguru Alka Yagnik went to say ‘she can be taken straight for recording and she is perfectly studio ready’. Other Li’l Champs who gave stellar performances were Aravind Nair from Cochin who sang his rendition of Sonu Niigams popular non-film number ‘Bijuriya’ and Aishwarya Saha who sang ‘Morni baga maa dole’.
