Music and Youth
etc plans to get youth hooked on ‘Home Theatre’
MUMBAI: No no, etc isn’t geting into electronic goods marketing, but the music channel is all geared to get the debut a new show Home Theatre.
Starting today, 11 March 2004, the one hour show will air every Thursday and Fridays at 7.30 pm
Targeting the youth and the young at heart, Home Theatre aims to provide the viewers with latest information, gossips, previews and reviews of latest Hindi films.
In order to make sure that it has fresh appeal the channel has got in new VJs Amit Khanna and Pracchi Mehta. The duo will ensure that show is fun with their incessant repartee and banter, says a company release.
According to ETC Networks CEO Jagjit Singh Kohli, “This is another step towards youth centric programmes. We will be catering further to the requirements of teenagers and youngsters.”
Both Khanna and Mehta will compliment each other with their different personalities and hand out trivia about the film or the artiste before playing the latest songs, says the release.
Home Theatre takes cue from current trend where people go and watch films only after seeing promos and listening to previews and reviews. The show will bring the viewers closer to what’s hot and what’s not in a unique style.
While VJ Amit won’t get into finer detail, Pracchi will talk about details of a films on a set that resembles a living room of an urban couple.
Produced by Fusion Media the bi-weekly fun show highlights the life style of couch potatoes.
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
