HT - Business Head - Digital Portal

Business Head - Online Portal ( part of one of the largest Media House )

With 4 million unique visitors a month, we are now India’s number one movie reviews and ratings website. Our offering to users is simple. Instead of a single-critic-approach, we believe that a movie’s verdict should come to the people, by the people. Examples of movies panned by critics, but loved by us are endless, but to name a few from 2013: Yeh Jawaani Hai Dewaani, Bhaag MIlkha Bhaag, Chennai Express.

We have a diverse group of Movie Jockeys who review movies for us - thriving entrepreneurs to the-advertising-dudes-on-sabbaticals. Tens of thousands of ratings are also registered on Desimartini monthly, making us the most unbiased source for movie ratings.

We’re still young in the entertainment business, but that hasn’t stopped the industry from noticing us. Our most recent #winning moment was when Besharam’s director Abhinav Kashyap approached the media that claiming ‘sinister’ forces were behind his film’s epic failure. This all began with a twitter trend - #MoviesWorseThanBesharam –which in our defense should have actually helped the film pick up! Our ratings have begun appearing in movie posters, our reviews get quoted, retweeted, and occasionally abused (!).
