  • Star Gold to present World Television Premiere of Jayeshbhai Jordaar, featuring Ranveer Singh and Shalini Pandey

    Star Gold to present World Television Premiere of Jayeshbhai Jordaar, featuring Ranveer Singh and Shalini Pandey

    Read Time:3 Minute, 38 Second

    The movie will premiere on the channel on August 28th at 12:00 PM

    Mumbai, August 26: Star Gold, India’s preferred Hindi movie channel, is all set to broadcast the World Television Premiere of the movie ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’. The film, directed by Divyang Thakkar, stars Ranveer Singh, Shalini Pandey, Ratna Pathak Shah, and Boman Irani. Jayeshbhai Jordaar is yet another addition to Star Gold’s extensive movie library. The film will premiere on August 28 at 12:00 PM IST.

    Ranveer Singh has been impressing the audiences with his acting chops and star power since his debut, and Jayeshbhai Jordaar is definitely his most courageous film. “It was a novel experience for me to create a character that had a different take on the concept of ‘heroism’. Our story sheds light on an important social issue – female foeticide in India. I always wished the film to reach out to as many people as possible so that it’s able to communicate to them this very relevant message. I’m elated with the positive response that the film garnered on OTT, and I’m happy that the film will now connect to a larger audience during the World TV Premiere on August 28 at 12 PM on Star Gold. I’m really humbled by the love and praise I’ve received for my performance in the film, and I’m very glad that more people will now see the film when it comes on TV!” says Ranveer Singh.

    Shalini Pandey, who plays his wife in the film, is delighted about the world television premiere of her first Hindi film. “Many people wondered why I chose to play a pregnant woman in my Bollywood debut, but I really liked my character, Mudra Patel. She is Jayesh’s wife. She is strong enough to stand up against the patriarchal society to keep her baby girl alive. I hope TV viewers enjoy it when it premieres on August 28 at noon on Star Gold,” she said.

    “Jayeshbhai Jordaar is a hilarious satire on society’s obsession with the male child, delivered in the form of a family entertainer with a riot of emotions. Ranveer Singh is a marvellous artist who has displayed his virtuoso range in this movie. He is accompanied by Shalini – fresh new talent – in a movie helmed by Divyang – a debutant director. Hope TV viewers enjoy this joyous ride when it premieres on August 28th at noon on Star Gold,” says the film’s producer Maneesh Sharma.

    “After finishing my story outline for Jayeshbhai Jordaar, I took a road trip through various villages, B-towns, and metros across our country. The trip was an endeavour to understand how patriarchy currently affects us at an individual level. I held conversations with various children, women, and men, and I’m deeply grateful to them for sharing their struggles and pouring their hearts out to an absolute stranger. Many of these people and places did not have access to movie theatres. With the exponential reach of the TV medium, I’m glad the film will find a way back to where it came from,” says debutant director Divyang Thakkar.

    He adds, “I couldn’t have asked for a better setup to make my directorial debut. Starting with my producer and mentor, Maneesh Sharma, who backed me every step of the way, to the film’s wonderful cast – Ratna Pathak Shah, Boman Irani, Shalini Pandey, and none other than Ranveer Singh, who gave it his all to bring Jayesh to life. I’m grateful for all the love and discussions that have sparked after the OTT release, and I’m now excited for the families of our country at large to be entertained by ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ on Aug 28 at noon on Star Gold.”

    Yash Raj Films’ Jayeshbhai Jordaar, tackles female foeticide in a very unusual and impactful manner and has the film’s lead actor Ranveer Singh (Jayesh Patel) playing a caring husband and father fighting for his girl child.

    Directed by Divyang Thakkar, Jayeshbhai Jordaar will have its World TV Premiere on Star Gold on Aug 28 at 12 PM.

  • The music PR segment is undergoing a paradigm shift, feels Dale Bhagwagar

    The music PR segment is undergoing a paradigm shift, feels Dale Bhagwagar

    Read Time:2 Minute, 5 Second

    Times are witnessing a change in the music PR scenario in India

    Entertainment publicist Dale Bhagwagar practically invented the music PR segment in the 90s and early 2000s for independent PR agencies to follow

     August 25: In those days, when independent publicists only focused on film PR and television PR, Dale began handling the publicity for some of the best singers, composers, music albums and music companies. Over the years, he has handled the PR for some of the top music artists such as Bhajan Samrat Anup Jalota, Gazal King Pankaj Udhas, Melody Kings Nadeem-Shravan, Princess of Pop Anaida, Indie-pop rap star Style Bhai, Ghazal Queen Penaz Masani, Santoor Maestro Rahul Sharma and Bhangra King Daler Mehndi.

    But most of the media avenues which existed earlier have now faded. Print is a dying medium, television music channels have dwindled and most music magazines and music websites have shut down. In spite of this, Dale feels there is a lot of hope for singers, musicians and the music industry.

    “The music PR segment in India is going through a paradigm shift,” says the celebrity publicist. “We may not have a lot of the earlier platforms but instead we have a whole lot of new ones. It’s just change and there is nothing to worry about.”

    Dale points out that apart from YouTube and Instagram, where any independent music producer can upload and showcase content free of cost, almost each and every entertainment and Bollywood website has a section covering music. “All one needs to do is to adapt and adjust to new media avenues and move with the times,” concludes the PR professional.

    For the uninitiated, the publicist’s Mumbai-based Bollywood PR agency Dale Bhagwagar Media Group has handled the media for some 300 personalities including names such as Hrithik Roshan, Shilpa Shetty and Priyanka Chopra.

    The PR firm has also publicised some 35 movies including the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Don and Farhan Akhtar-starrer Rock On, apart from having handled the post-release PR for the Hrithik Roshan-starrer Koi… Mil Gaya.

    The PR agency is also the first one to declare the internet media as the new mainstream media and focus its activities on new-age news websites for organic content.

    A powerhouse singing talent: Sujata Manjhi

    Read Time:3 Minute, 0 Second

    August 25: A rare musical talent that has emerged from the bylanes of Kolkata, Sujata Manjhi, a young girl, followed her dreams of becoming a singer. Her state is known for its deep-rooted music culture and arts, producing many great musicians in the country. Sujatha is no different, a budding artist, whose passion for singing made her quit her graduation in Arts and pursue music full time.

    Born on the 21st of June in 1989 into a middle-class family who had lost her father, late Mr. Satyanaryan Manjhi and mother, Mrs. Mina Devi, Sujata had to endure her fair share of struggles. She also has two sisters and a brother who she cares dearly, looking out for each other. Her siblings are musically inclined, enabling her to strive for her dreams of becoming a singer.

     Sujata’s passion for singing fuelled her desire to excel and propelled her every step. She knew it was hard to make a name in the music industry, so she determined to seek avenues to showcase her talent. It allows for her talent to be known to the world.

    With a lot of hard work and struggles to make a foray into the music world, she fought all odds and got an opportunity from Mumbai-based SJ Beats Original, who recognized her talent and found her unique vocals worth giving a chance. They made her sing an original and begin her journey in music. The song’s lyrics were sung in the past also by Sujata and had been published by a Kolkata publication called Raga. The recent song “Kudi Gulabi” got mileage on YouTube.

    Sujata Manjhi started with five songs for an album called Manzil Mushkil. Headlining this project got her experience of the actual happenings in the music industry. She loved the feeling of being in a recording studio, which was a gratifying experience of singing with so many musicians and collaborators for an album. And this was published by Raga in Kolkata, getting her much-needed recognition. This also resulted in grand facilitation by Satyam, a production team based in Kolkata, which happens to be part of the Bengali film industry.

    The album became her first step toward reaching her goal of becoming a singer. Sujata Manjhi has collaborated four more times with Satyam. They have produced four video songs in Bengali with two solo songs by her and duets with other known vocalists of the Bengali film industry. Her brother, who followed her closely, also has an inherent talent for music and has recorded a solo video song ready to be published on YouTube.

    While Kudi Gulabi was her first break in Mumbai, it was a wonderful experience that got her to reach a wider audience and let them know her singing prowess. Her collaboration for the music album of Manzil Mushkil allowed her to learn a new language. However, pronouncing Urdu words was difficult. She managed to pull it off easily, making the song seem seamless with her melodious voice.

    In the songs from the album Manzil Mushkil, published by Raga on YouTube, the audiences like her voice in the title song Manzil Mushkil, Tujhe Yaadon Mein, Kuch Nasha, Jab Pyar Hi Nahi Tha, and Tu Hi Meri Manzil. Her four new video songs in Bengali will be out soon and are much awaited by all her fans and those who love her voice.
