    Star Gold unveils new logo

    MUMBAI: Star Gold has unveiled its new brand logo with a new tagline — ‘Karo Dil Ki‘.

    The new logo was launched during the television premiere of ‘Singham‘ on 10 September on the channel.

    The new identity was simulcast across Star India‘s network channels — Star Plus, Star One, Star Utsav, Star World, Star Movies, Pravah and Jalsha, via a network roadblock.

    The channel is backing-up the new identity with the screening of movies such as Zindagi Na Mile Dubara, Bodyguard, Rockstar and Ra.One.

    “Karo Dil Ki reflects the attitudes and aspirations of our viewers. As a brand we have always endeavored to give our viewers what they want to watch not just what we want them to watch. The TV premiere of Singham on 10 September is itself a landmark screening of this over Rs 1 billion grosser which is still running to packed houses,” Star India COO Sanjay Gupta said in a statement.

    According to an official communique, the refreshed Star Gold will have six-movie schedule every day. Other movie channels air five movies a day.

    Mere Brother Ki Dulhan nets Rs 255 mn in opening weekend

    MUMBAI: Mere Brother Ki Dulhan did fairly well in its first weekend to collect Rs 255 million. However, the inevitable drop in collections has been noticed today.

    Bodyguard has been squeezed dry with an extensive release and multiple screenings (as many as 2400 shows between 31 August and 9 September in a town like Ghaziabad) during its first nine days. Released mid-week on Eid (Wednesday, 31 August) it collected Rs 1.15 billion in nine days. The breakup is as follows: Rs 411 million on 31 August and 1 September; Rs 478.5 million over the weekend (2-4 September) and Rs 256.5 million from 5-8 Setpember.

    The collections over the second weekend have tapered down to approximately Rs 160 million and come to a trickle as of today (Monday), with some cinemas reporting poor audience due to lack of repeat value.

    Bol made no impact beyond critical appreciation, collecting just Rs 13.5 million in its first week.

    The Girl In Yellow Boots stays on the lower side with Rs 14 million in its first week.

    Aarakshan tally at the end of four weeks is Rs 379 million.

    Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara‘s eight-week total is Rs 869 million.

    Singham crossed the Rs 1 billion mark at the end of its sixth week run with the total collections being Rs 1.03 billion.

    Murder2‘s total at the end of nine weeks stands at Rs 491.5 million.

    Reliance Entertainment gets protection order against piracy for Bodyguard

    MUMBAI: Reliance Entertainment has procured a ‘John Doe Order‘ order from the Delhi High Court to prevent the illegal broadcast or
    streaming of its upcoming film Bodyguard, starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor.

    The company said that it has procured the order from the Court that would restrain websites, cable operators and Internet service
    providers (ISPs) and others from infringing or violating its copyright by illegally showing the film.

    “The order is a measure to prevent piracy of Bodyguard. With this, we expect piracy levels for the film to come down by 60 per cent,” said Reliance Entertainment vice-president of music and anti-piracy Sanjay Tandon.

    This John Doe Order gives protection to the intellectual property owner, Reliance Entertainment, from copyright violation by prospective anonymous offenders. Tamdon said that the company has already sent out about 2,000 intimation notices to cable operators, websites within and outside India and ISPs.

    Earlier, the company had procured a similar court order for Singham. “We were able to bring down piracy by 40 per cent. The company had served the John Doe Order to about 30 people for Singham,” Tandon remarked.

    “For Bodyguard, the company has readied a team that will conduct raids to identify those infringing on the copyright. At Reliance
    Entertainment, we have created a separate department to fight piracy,” he added.

    Presented by Reliance Entertainment, Bodyguard, a Reel Life Production, releases across 2500 screens on 31August.

    Rohit Shetty remaking Hrishida’s Golmaal September

    MUMBAI: Rohit Shetty, whose film Singham has been doing brisk business, has decided to return to the comedy genre.


    Shetty and Ajay Devgn, have planned a remake of the Hrishikesh Mukherji-directed Golmaal. The film will be titled Bol Bachchan and star Abhishek Bachchan.


    “While the basic idea would be the same, we‘ve changed the characters,setting and situations. But on a cautionary note, it‘s better to acquire the rights and remake it your own way,” Shetty pointed out.


    The essence of one liners and comedy will be retained in the remake. While the original saw Utpal Dutt‘s daughter falling in love with Amol Palekar, the remake will see Devgn‘s sister falling for Bachchan.


    A romantic comedy, the film will pair Devgn with Prachi Desai and Bachchan with Asin.

    Ajay Devgn in Hindi remake of Malayalam film

    MUMBAI: AHaving succeeded in his endeavour to switch over to action-oriented roles in Singham, Ajay Devgn has delved into a character that has a blend of Peter Sellers‘ comedy and Charlie Chaplin‘s pathos in an upcoming film, The Arab, The Camel & P Madhavan Nair.


    The film will be directed by Priyadarshan who is currently in the last lap of completion of the Malayalam version titled Arabiyum Ottakavum P Madhavan Nairum.
     
    Said the director, “I am indeed remaking Arabiyum Ottakavum P Madhavan Nairum with Ajay. This is the first time I‘ve decided to do a Hindi version of a film even before completing the Malayalam version. I am certain that Ajay can do full justice to it.”


    It may be said that it was Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan who had apparently sent feelers to Priyadarshan for that particular role, but the director turned to Devgn to essay the role of the protagonist in the film.
