RAJSHRI LAUNCHES ITS WEB SITE ON THE INTERNET
Rajshri, India's largest entertainment conglomerate, has
entered the world of cyberspace by launching its Web site at
<URL:http://www.rajshri.com> on the Internet. The objective of the
multimedia Web Site is to target international distributors for the
English and Spanish versions of its two blockbusters MAINE PYAR KIYA
and HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN..!
Established in 1947, Rajshri is the only film distribution
organization having an all-India presence through its 27 branch
offices. Rajshri has produced 46 movies in Hindi till date, its
latest release being HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN..!, the biggest blockbuster
in the history of Indian cinema which also fared extraordinarily well
in the international market. This was preceded by MAINE PYAR KIYA,
which was also one of the most successful films of its time
In order to cater to the world market, Rajshri has produced the
international versions of HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN..! and MAINE PYAR KIYA.
The English version of HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN..! is titled YOURS FOREVER.
MAINE PYAR KIYA has been titled WHEN LOVE CALLS in English and TE AMO
in Spanish. TE AMO is the first experiment of its kind from
India. WHEN LOVE CALLS has already earned the distinction of being one
of the biggest hits in the Carribean market at Guyana and Trinidad.
Besides HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN..! and MAINE PYAR KIYA, the Web Site will
also feature a number of Rajshri's older evergreen movies. Every week,
one Rajshri classic will be reviewed on the Web Site. Audio and video
clips which can be downloaded by the viewer will be the highlight of the
Web Site. Special sections have been created on Tarachand Barjatya, the
founder of the Rajshri organisation and Sooraj R. Barjatya, the director
of HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN..! and MAINE PYAR KIYA. Every week, viewers will
be able to know a little more about Sooraj and his way of working,
through the special section about him. State of the art animation and
graphics have been designed for the Rajshri Web Site. A business section
has also been created for enquiries about the worldwide theatrical
distribution of the international versions of HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN..! and
MAINE PYAR KIYA.
The Web Site has been created by Ravi Database Consultants Pvt.
