MunduTV to air the first-ever simultaneous movie release worldwide on internet and mobile.

January 4, 2012 – Republic Day 2012 will see the simultaneous release of the path-breaking Marathi movie, Jana Gana Mana in theatres and on the Internet via MunduTV. Available on laptops, tablets or cellphones, MunduTV is the pioneer in mobile entertainment, and currently streams over 50 TV channels in news, lifestyle, music, regional, business, and general entertainment.

Jana Gana Mana is the first ever Indian film to release on the Internet simultaneously with its worldwide theatrical release. A Golden Dreams production by the Kadams, directed by Amit Abhyankar, and starring Nandu Madhav, Chinmay Sant and Madhura Welankar-Satam, Jana Gana Mana tells the compelling story of a simple school teacher who comes to terms with the distance between ideal and reality.

Releasing on January 26, 2012, Jana Gana Mana on the digital platform is a first for the country’s cinema, as availability on the internet and the mobile will be simultaneous with the theatre release. It paves the way for more regional producers to consider additional modes of distribution. MunduTV has been promoting this trend because of the platform’s potential to generate film revenues and also counter piracy. Viewers of MunduTV thus have a high quality and on-demand option for watching the latest cinema. Jana Gana Mana will be available to them in the pay per view mode. The film’s distributors, Outreach Motion Pictures have worked closely with Geodesic Limited to make this possible.
