New Colour of Big Money in Entertainment - IPL, Bollywood and Bigg Boss

New Money in Indian Economy

The Indian big money pie has seen a great rise in the recent times. The most notable among them being IPL, Bollywood and Reality TV where the biggest of them all is the Bigg Boss. Much action has taken place in all these segments in the past few days. Let's have a round-up:

IPL - Sun has set on the Deccan Chargers

As the Sun TV network buys out the Hyderabad team replacing the debt-loaded Deccan Chronicle Holdings Limited for 85.05 crores in fresh bids called by BCCI. This amount represents almost twice the amount paid by the last owners of the Hyderabad-based team which was brought by Deccan Chronicle Holdings Limited. A break-up of the tale that broke out on the Deccan Chargers has been provided below:

1. The Deccan Chargers team was terminated from IPL after it fails to provide requisite gurantee to BCCI
2. Legal wrangling follows the termination. However, BCCI sees its own wishes through in Courts as the Courts rule in favour of termination.
3. BCCI calls for fresh bids.
4. BCCI is richer by double the amount it would have earned from Deccan Chronicle Holdings Limited.

 Bollywood

Some real cool money is chasing Bollywood these days. While Karan Johar's teeny love drama Student of the Year has hit a bull's eye on BO. But the movie which had been the talking point of the Tata and Birla family alike, Chakravyuh has been a slow starter at the box office inspite the burning issues it stands for.

Reality TV - Bigg Boss

It really is the Big boss when it comes to raking in the moolah over the reality TV programmes. The Bigg Boss season 6 has been able to provide a size-able cash to the inmates on the basis of their popularity and star-power.

Clearly as far as the entertainment industry goes there is not much slow down to talk about.
