Phoonk : Ramus tryst with horror

Ram Gopal Varma and Phoonk are out marketing their film never heard before. Phoonk is out with a challenge. Watch it alone in a theatre and take home 5 lakh ruppees. It does not seem as easy as it may sound to you. RGV camp is claiming it to be the scariest movie ever to hit the Indian cinemas. This kind of marketing seems new, something Shahrukh and Red Chillies entertainment can look into.
To market the movie Ram Gopal has also used his blog.

Ramu's experience with supernatural

He says that once on he was on a flight with shiamak dawar. Shiamak and Ramu had never met or worked before except at a party where they had met. While talking Shiamak suddenly asked, "Is your father dead ?". He was taken aback. He said "ya".
Shiamak replied saying that Ramu's father was there with them and was little concerned about Ramu.

Lets see what is Shiamak's take on this story. I can only say one thing to him, "Man! you are so scary". You scared Ramu.

There are three scary stories that Ramu has to tell, which are there on his blog. Shiamak's story was the one I found the best to mention. For the rest there is Ramu's blog, not Speak India. If you find them funny don't blame me.

I appreciate this story/incident but I wonder why such incidents only come in light when a movie on black magic is about to be released. Maybe marketing, publicity. But calling your dead dad back for few extra bucks doesn't sound too good. Best of luck RGV for your PHOONK. I'll be there.......................................................................................................................................
................only to watch your movie...

Marketer's Job: Showing the money

A marketer's biggest dilemma is a client who misunderstands his service. " A writer who is in a hurry to be understood today or tomorrow runs the danger of being misunderstood the day after tomorrow ." ~ Johann G. Hamann Most of the times marketers face the challenge of being misunderstood. During the days when I was part of a startup, I felt that even if I'd break my head, the client will not really understand what my firm was offering and the benefits it gave.

Giving the finger to a scripted life!

It's crazy to take jobs just because they look good on your resume. That's like saving sex for your old age. ~ Warren Buffet. You have plans for your life, career etc. You've built an entire script but what is this based on? Scott at Ted talks about how almost 80% of the people around the world don't like the job they do.
