Mumbai, There's An Open-Air Film Screening By The Beach This Wednesday

Mandovi Menon


When we embraced the era of internet movies, we unknowingly bid farewell to those magical evenings in front of the TV, laughing, debating and experiencing good films that would go on to solidify our varied views of the world with our friends and family. Over the years, movie-watching has become a more solitary activity, but a new destination has big dreams of altering the landscape once again.

Star Gold Select HD is a new channel is bringing back the thrill of watching movies at home with some particularly stellar programming. With a belief in select meaningful and critically acclaimed stories, the channel’s programming promises treats like Masaan, Waiting, Laal Rang, Gour Hari Dastaan, The Reluctant Fundamentalist to name a few. The channel has a collection of 52 premieres for 52 weeks! So you can tune in every Saturday night at 9 p.m to partake in the magic. And just in case you were wondering, they love their stars just as much so Sunday afternoons’ Sundayplex will be dedicated to the latest Bollywood Blockbusters you might have missed right from Kaabil to Jolly LLB 2. Plus, to keep things truly theatrical, there’s only one intermission on the channel to keep up with the multiplex formats, so make sure you’re good and prepped with popcorn and all other necessities before you settle in for the ride.

Join Homegrown at an exclusive beach screening this Wednesday!

This week, a few lucky people will be able to experience the magic early in a truly special setting! On the 12th April, this Wednesday, from 6:30 p.m onwards the legendary Razzberry Rhinoceros at Juhu Hotel will play host to a one-of-a-kind evening of storytelling, discussion, movie-watching and debate. The Star Gold Select HD screening brings movie-going to the beachfront where you can enjoy a lively panel dialogue with spoken word poet Vinatoli Yeptho and Zaharaddeen Muhammad, moderated by Karuna Ezara Parikh. This will be followed by private screening of ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’ (one of the many great offerings that will be played on the channel) under the stars.
