COLORS Acquires Rights To Air Box Cricket League (BCL)

Colors1COLORS, along with Balaji Telefilms Limited and Marinating Films brings together two of the finest sources of entertainment in India – cricket and television, in a power packed season of Box Cricket League (BCL). With a stellar line up of over 200 top celebrities, Box Cricket League will be telecast on COLORS and COLORS HD from 28th February 2016, every Sunday at 4.30 pm with a repeat telecast on Rishtey.
Speaking about the association, Raj Nayak, CEO – COLORS, said, “COLORS is always known for its out-of-the- box thinking, but this time we’ve literally got a fabulous game within a box. Box cricket league adds to the enthusiasm as it brings together the biggest faces across channels uniting the TV fraternity over a unique game of cricket. With BCL, we aim to give cricket an exceptional spin and make it likeable to each and every member of the family. We are happy to associate with Balaji Telefilms Limited and Marinating Films as the broadcasting partner for this venture giving our viewers robust content and wholesome entertainment.”
Changing the meaning of run-through and strike-off for the actors, the curtains will rise for an exceptional game of glamorous cricket. This star-studded cricket league will have 10 teams named after 10 cities namely Ahmedabad Express, Kolkata Babu Moshayes, Chandigarh Cubs, Delhi Dragons, Jaipur Raj Joshiley, Chennai Swaggers, Mumbai Tigers, Pune Anmol Ratan, Rowdy Bangalore and Lucknow Nawabs led by celebrities like Sunny Leone, Nandish Sandhu, Ajay Chaudhry, Mrunal Jain, Anita Hassandani, Kamya Punjabi and many more. The high point of the game is undoubtedly the mix of men and women in every team. The inclusion of males and females, across all teams, makes it a battle of equals where the celebrities will be fully charged to kick the dust up!
Commenting on the concept, Ekta Kapoor – Joint Managing Director, Balaji Telefilms Limited, said, “BCL is a grand extravaganza where television’s biggest stars come together to play the most popular sport in the country.  But of course, it’s cricket with a twist! BCL is a reality show that has all the ingredients of a television drama – be it loving, loathing, bonding or sledging the twists and turns are as real as it gets! With Box Cricket League, we present to our viewers an array of their favorite ‘Bahus’ playing alongside their male counterparts, on the field. 10 teams, 200 actors, 1winner…let the games begin!”
With a huge number of television stars vying to play this season of BCL, the league owners have had to set new guidelines for player qualifications. The strict dictate ensures only top lead actors (who’ve starred as main leads for a minimum of 250 episodes) and second lead actors (who’ve had at least 500 episodes to their credit) partake in this season. Besides popular fiction faces, GEC Reality show winners and top contestants are also qualified to play. The new player mandates have therefore caused a lot of heartburn for those actors who were hoping to get on the field.

MSM rolls out Khel Fauladi campaign for Pro Wrestling League

Khel1Recently, Multi-Screen Media (MSM) bagged the broadcast rights of the Pro-Wrestling League for the next 5 years. In order to create buzz around the league, MSM rolled out a multi-media campaign titled Khel Fauladi.
Speaking exclusively to IndianMediaBook, Vaishali Sharma, Senior VP & Marketing Head, Sony Max, said, “Wrestling is one of the oldest sports in the country. It is the game about strength, skill and endurance. Our objective is to bring out wrestling from Akhaada’s of villages and small town to a celebrated global platform. In other words, we are aiming to take wrestling from Mittito the Mat.”
Khel Fauladi has been conceptualised by DDB Mudra and it consists of two TVCs. The campaign centres around putting one’s weakness aside and bringing out one’s fighter spirit.
“The idea behind the campaign is to give a reason people to watch Wresting. We want to make people feel, while watching the commercial that this is something unlike people have ever experienced,” added Sharma.
With teams of the wrestling league comprising of both men and women, the two 40 seconder TVCs which will air during prime time slots will feature known faces in the wrestling world and will be skewed to both male and female audiences encouraging them to tap into their tougher, stronger selves thus breaking stereotypical moulds.
Sharma informed that the league will be telecasted on three channels to reach out to the mass audience, Sony Max, Six and to target rural audience on Pal. Starting from 10thDecember, it will be aired at prime time from 7PM to 9PM every day till 27thDecember.
“MSM holds a strong position in the market, as its one of the largest media network in the country today. With this league, we continue to extract the fact that we are the innovators of lot of formats. Having said that, MSM was the pioneer of the IPL which as a league happened 8-9 years ago and we really have been the pioneers in setting the concept of a league even on a Hindi movie channel. Thus, it is nothing new to us. This is one more trend we continued in our innovations”, expressed Sharma.
The multi-media campaign comprising of television, print, radio and outdoor promotions will be taken across all Hindi speaking markets and will have key players such as Sushil Kumar, Yogeshwar Dutt, Babita Kumari, Geeta Phogat, Vinesh Phogat, Amit Dahiya, Narsingh Pancham Yadav, Rahul Aware amongst others fronting the campaign.
“It has already created buzz and lots of people are appreciating it. It is one of the campaigns that I got fantastic feedback. Thus, let’s hope for the best,” concluded Sharma.
