The makers of ‘Queen’ have ensured that they present the same sentiment on the digital space, as well, with applications and memes that establish a connect with the film.

Queen’s Facebook Page also hosts an application, ‘En Route Single Honeymoon’, which allows users to choose a cover photo for themselves, from 14 different options of exotic destinations. They sport whacky captions, associated with various cities across the world.

Another Facebook Application, ‘Queen’s Journey’, captures Rani’s life-changing journey with exclusive behind the scene videos. One of those videos talk about tips to stay warm during Delhi winters and another one shows an over eager aunty making sure that she gets a picture with Kangana during ‘Queen’s shoot in the capital. All are must watch videos, for sure.
Just like ‘Rani’ became ‘Queen’ in Paris, a soon-to-be-launched application will allow users to find the foreign version of their names. Called ‘My Firangi Name’, it will allow them to enter their name, and get their phoren name in return. This application is sure to engage online users on ‘Queen’s page and get them interested. The movie has established its presence on Instagram too, as @QueenOnTheGo, where image are being posted from Rani’s point of view, covering her journey from her wedding, to her single honeymoon experiences in Paris and Amsterdam.
Queen has been engaging with the online users extensively with apps, videos, contests and photos, which keeps everyone hooked and make sure they come back for more. Starting from Rani’s wedding celebrations to her going to Paris, digital ‘Queen’ has it all.
‘Queen’ is about Rani, a simple girl from Rajauri, who has been dumped at the altar by her fiancé. However, she decides to go on her honeymoon, all alone. The movie is about her meeting new friends in a new place, and having the time of her life. Presented by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, ‘Queen’ is a Phantom Production.

TOP ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF “NON-STOP”
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mumbai, Maharashtra. Top Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. is proud to announce
the release of the long awaited suspense thriller played out at 40,000 feet in the air, “NON-STOP”. It will be released at cinemas throughout India on 28th February, 2014.
An air marshal springs into action during a transatlantic flight after receiving a series of text messages that put his fellow passengers at risk unless the airline transfers $150 million into an off-shore account.
Coming off his smash hit TAKEN 2, Liam Neeson partners once again with UNKNOWN director Jaume Collet-Serra and producer Joel Silver & co-stars Golden Globe Award winner Julianne Moore. This time Collet-Serra goes a step further, plunging the audience into a movie that is at once a labyrinthine mystery, a high-octane action picture and a twist-filled Hitchcockian thriller where no one can be trusted and everyone is a suspect.
Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is a burned-out veteran of the Air Marshals service. He views the assignment not as a life-saving duty, but as a desk job in the sky. However, today’s flight will be no routine trip. Shortly into the transatlantic journey from New York to London, he receives a series of mysterious text messages ordering him to have the government transfer $150 million into a secret account, or a passenger will die very 20 minutes. What follows is a nail-biting cat and mouse game played at 40,000 feet, with the lives of 200 passengers hanging in the balance.
NON-STOP isn’€™t just an action film, but a 500mph rush of adrenaline, suspense and excitement.
“Liam Neeson is at his dishevelled action-man best in this slick thriller set on a packed plane. It’s a classy and claustrophobic film that keeps you guessing until the final scenes.” The Sunday Mirror
The film has been brought to India by Tanweer Group & distributed by Top Entertainment Pvt. Ltd

Max Life Insurance launches its campaign that extends the brand’s promise of ‘Aapke Sachche Advisor’ through its promise of Honesty in Service
Launches 3 new TVC’s highlighting Max Life’s commitment to superior post sales service and quality of advice
New Delhi, 26 February, 2014: Max Life Insurance, one of India’s leading life insurance companies, today announces the launch of a string of three new TVC’s with the tagline “Policy dene ke baad humara rishta khatam nahi, shuru hota hai”. The TVC’s that will go on air today are an extension of the company’s brand campaign ‘Aapke Sachche Advisors’, which aims to highlight Max Life’s commitment to superior post sales service . The TVCs re-emphasize Max Life Insurance’s brand promise on quality of advice, honesty and transparency in services, which is reflected through the practices followed by the company’s agent advisors.
Commenting on the launch, Anisha Motwani, Director and Chief Marketing Officer, Max Life Insurance said, “Amongst all the financial instruments, life insurance has the longest relationship term with a customer. In fact, the real relationship with the customer only start taking shape after the policy is bought, and does not end with a transaction being completed. At Max Life we are guided by the principles of Service Excellence towards our customers, hence, providing them with prompt, reliable, and quality services is our top most priority.”
She further added, “Our new TVC’s are thus aimed at establishing a deeper bond with the life insurance industry audience at large. Through these ads we also seek to reinforce the idea of importance of identifying a reliable company, evaluating the correct selling behaviour and service orientation of agent advisors when seeking to buy life insurance products”.
Abhijit Avasthi, National Creative Director, Oglivy and Mather Said, “Through this campaign Max Life Insurance has taken the brand philosophy of “Sachchi Advice” to the next level by highlighting on their commitment towards the customers. The Agent-Devil format worked wonders for the brand in last campaign and we are sure that this time again, with the freshness brought in by lady devil & agent and new situations, it will bring that smile back on our audience’s faces and an even deeper trust on the brand”.
The first TVC highlights the Max Life Insurance promise towards settlement of claims within 10 days. Here a customer is seen reflecting aloud his concerns on claims to a Max Life Agent Advisor. While the agent advisor explains Max Life’s promise of claims settlement in 10 days from receipt of documents and an entitlement of interest payout in case of delay, the devil tries to lure him to lie to the customer about it. However, the agent keeps the best interest of the customer first and confidently shares the correct details with him.
The second TVC also focuses on the quality of services delivered by agent advisors of Max Life Insurance. Here a woman agent is seen sitting in a beauty salon when her phone rings. As she reaches out to pick up the phone, a devil appears and tries to stop her from doing so as it is a Sunday. However, the agent answers the phone and speaks to the customer who wants to enquire about the procedure for change of address. The devil continues to distract the agent, while the agent advisor asks the customer send the papers to Max Life Insurance and volunteers to take it forward from him. The TVC highlights the extent to which Max Life agents are committed to their clients and reflects their eagerness to make themselves available whenever needed.
The third TVC showcases the self-discipline and initiatives taken by Max Life Insurance to develop a relationship with their customers. Here an agent is seen delivering a policy by hand to his customer. The customers asks the agent that why did he come in person when he could have posted the policy to him. A devil appears and makes fun of the agent saying I told you to do so. The agent pays no heed and politely replies to the customer that it’s his duty to explain the customers’ rights to him in person, which a postman could not have done. He also shares with the customer that the policy can be returned within 15 days if he doesn’t like it. The devil tries to stop the agent but the agent continues to do his work in complete honesty.

“I had met Jasbeer many years ago on the sidelines of a concert at Gulbarga where he had approached me and taken me up on my public commitment to launching new talent. At the time I had given him a host of tips and had told him to perfect his art. ‘Jawani Express’ and Jasbeer have both not just pleasantly surprised me but have also well surpassed my expectations. Jasbeer is not just a very talented artist, author and composer, but ‘Jawani Express’ is also a fabulous album,” added Daler Ji.
