Its foolish to think they will ignore such a marketing opportunity. @Maneesh Exactly @Rajiv

In my opinion blogs, especially entertainment and society blogs can be a relevant medium to advertise. regards simple way of life Yes, the online presence and info of indian movies will create that much needed hype for the movie which is about to be released.

I read an interview about akki's new movie on msn today.. and the interview was of the producer sajid nadiadwala and the about the the film mroe than the actors in it.. I quickly went over to their (nadiadwala's) website and saw a whole bunchof press releases about this movie "kambakht ishq".. and for a movie buff like me that was quite a surprise considering i hadn't heard of the flick before.. the whole point of that long para.. that perhaps you are right.. it might be more to do with production houses getting serious about the net... which is good right..

Though I might be surprised if Yashraj is behind any online buzz creation. I think its the opportunistic bloggers and forum creators who have understood the search trends for a soon to be released movies that might be populating the search results. Was there any tashan official website launched yet? Great post ankit. Though I might be surprised if Yashraj is behind any online buzz creation.
