Mission Mangal, starring Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Panu, and Sonakshi Sinha, has hit the screens across India on Independence Day. The story of the film is based on ISRO’s Mars mission.
The movie has received a lot of attention from the moment its trailer came out. It is also seen that the movie was backed with a lot of marketing strategies from the beginning.
Movies have seen a surge in marketing strategies in the last couple of years. After the movie has completed its production stage and goes through all the essential technical procedures, comes the marketing stage. It is essential that the producers keep aside a good amount of budget for it so that the film does well on the box office.
Mission Mangal particularly took the last step pretty seriously. It tied up with a number of brands as part of its marketing strategy, even before its release.
And in the age of social media, these collaborations were all over Twitter and other online channels, making it visible for everyone to see the hype. Brands like Peter England, Paytm, Ixigo, Kajaria Ceramics, Sonata Watches, & Fox Star were among the many collaborating and promoting the movie.
