UTV uses cricket to promote Athidhi & Goal
MUMBAI: India's victory at the Twenty20 mini world cup series has definitely boosted the use of cricket as a platform for promotions. Now the ongoing India Australia one day series is serving as a platform for movie promotion.
On 5 October, during the on-going India Australia one day series being held in Hyderabad, promos of UTV's forthcoming Telugu movie Athidhi will be showcased on the screens in the stadium after every over, to approximately 62,000 people who will be present.
According to information available with media, the cost of this activity will be in the range of Rs 7 - 8 lakhs. Further, the rates are likely to fluctuate in proportion with the scale of the event.
UTV associate vice president, India distribution, Suniel Wadhva said, "In India, cricket has the highest reach and after India's victory in T20, cricket fever has reached a new high. Mahesh Babu is a sensation in Andhra Pradesh, so it would be interesting to screen Athidhi promos for so many people at one time."
If all goes well, UTV will also leverage this medium to screen Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal promos on two giant screens for the match to be held in Mumbai on 17 October to an audience of over 150,000.
In the past this on-field screen medium has been used for promoting banking and finance companies and consumer durables. Six months ago films too began to use this platform for promotion. Clippings of a Tamil movie Pachaikili Muthucharam was the first to be screened in Chennai during the India-West Indies cricket match. Chennai based firm Technology Frontier is at the forefront of such activities in India.

Nostalgia: Jayaprada Recalls Sobhan Babu
Sobhan Babu has been the darling of many hearts of ladies between 70s-80s.
Jayaprada recalls about him saying that he was very decent and never bothered about film people once the shooting is over. He has been a perfect family man and hardly used to show filmy airs. Jayaprada said that he was not like NTR and ANR. She implies that NTR and ANR used to tease heroines and entertain but Sobhan Babu was very decent.
That's how Jayaprada recalled Sobhan Babu.
Fairest Complexion AFairest Complexion And Sexiest Figurend Sexiest FigureFairest Complexion And Sexiest Figure
A fair and voluptuous lady is now appearing on small screen in a trailer. Although there is little grace in her face, the beauty in her body has been turning the heads of many.
There's a beach. And there is a sexy lady shining in the rays of mid day Sun. She is wearing a swimsuit, that's in two-piece. Her fairest skin is glowing with reflections. Her body has curves giving grand glory for her feminine assets. A man is holding her navel region and kneading for a few seconds. The lady is snuggling in his hug.
That is the essence of that trailer. The sexiest lady is Shraddha Arya and the man is Vaibhav, the son of Kodanda Rai Reddy. It's a trailer of the film 'Godava'. The trailers are attracting people. We have to see how far the film attracts.
Screen Talk: What Is There In 'Bhayya'?
'Malaikottai' is the Tamil film that was released couple of weeks ago in Tamilnadu. Malaikottai implies a 'temple on hill'. The shooting of the film took place in Tirucchi where there is a temple on the hill. Vishal and Priyamani paired up in it. The film is now getting dubbed into Telugu and releasing tomorrow as 'Bhayya.
Vishal said that the film is titled 'Bhayya' in Telugu as the people in AP called him 'Bhayya' when he made his visit for the success meets of Pandem Kodi and Pogaru.
The film is a high voltage action drama where it is going in the B and C centers of Tamilnadu in considerable positive way. The film is running dull in A centers. We have to see how it goes in AP.
Trade Talk: A Mass Masala And A Class Flick
Two films have released this week out of which one is the much awaited block buster and the other is a film that enthralled critics and college students.
Ram Charan's 'Chirutha' has given success for Ram Charan but the film proved to be failed in substance. The audiences those have assumed that there would be good depth in the story of Ram Charan's debut have got disappointed. But Ram Charan entertained the audiences with his dances and fights. Critics say that Ram Charan's characterization, weak story line, feeble narration and Neha Sharma's acting made the film a dull retreat. The collections for this film in first week are very good but eventually a drop is observed.
But Sekhar Kammula's 'Happy Days' that was released in Andhra on 2nd October is doing very well by attracting college students. The film has depicted the relations between class mates in an engineering college in a very sensitive way. The film has made 100 percent openings in A centers.
NTR's 'Yamadonga' complete its 50 days run and running ahead.
