INTRODUCTION * The Aamir Khan starrer Ghajini has created waves at the box office by raking in Rs 90 crore worldwide on the first weekend of its release. But much before that, the film had already created waves in the world of marketing by setting new standards for the industry.
* Ghajini has been marketed as ‘India’s first event film’ one that has the potential to become a successful business venture rather than just the box office success of the movie.
* Apart from the ongoing success of Ghajini, the movie was able to create much hype in the corporate world through its well tuned and finely coordinated marketing campaign pre and post movie release.
* The movie had released within the country with 1,400 prints. Reliance BIG Pictures had released 213 prints overseas in order to have maximum revenue in initial weeks of curiosity.
* Ghajini is written and directed by AR Murugadass who also directed the Tamil remake of Memento. Asin, who starred in the Tamil movie, is part of the Hindi version along with actress Jiah Khan.
EMINENT THOUGHTS
* “I think at a time when big opening weekends have become essential for the films' financial success, one needs to create urgency in people to see the film in the first couple of weeks. Our marketing strategies are focused on creating this urgency."
- Madhu Mantena, Producer, Ghajini, in December 2008
* "Bollywood publicists are clearly putting a whole lot of thought into how to spread the word of mouth. We are seeing more and more meaningful promotional campaigns that not just spread the word about the films but also attempting to give the film a longer shelf-life and emotional connect with audiences."
- A Trade Observer, commenting on the promotional strategies of Ghajini, in December 2008
PROMOTIONAL STRATEGIES
1) The Look (Online & Offline):
Think Ghajini, Think Aamir khan’s new and conspicuous hair cut and all those tattoos.
That hair cut is the latest rage in country.
