My Name Is Khan Premiere To Be Streamed Live Online On Facebook – Is Web The Future Of Bollywood?



By debjit • February 10, 2010

First, the makers of My Name Is Khan made the music available online and now they are giving the movie a new dimension by taking the live telecast of the premier of the movie online via Facebook and uStream. Now all you bollywood lovers and SRK fans across the world can watch the star-studded premiere of ‘My Name Is Khan’ sitting anywhere provided you have a Facebook account and an internet connection!

The premiere will start telecasting live from Abu Dhabi today (10 Feb ‘2010) – 2030HRS onwards IST. You can also get a chance to interact with SRK, Kajol and Karan Johar on video chat! All you need to do is Visit the Event Page on Facebook and RSVP it. And when the telecast starts all you need to do is just click on the play button, sit back and enjoy the premier live from Abu Dhabi.

Well, well… We definitely are witnessing a major change in the way live events are being telecasted these days. We have already told you about the Indian Premier League (IPL v3) in which cricket matches will be telecasted live on YouTube. It is very apt to say that Web is the future of the good old TeleVision. Streaming events live via platforms such as Facebook and Youtube gives and entire new dimension to the way we watch the events live online and also give us a chance to post our views about a particular event and see what others are saying about… in real time. The online streaming – Live Telecasting arena in India is also a niche market and the concept is comparatively new in this country. So we would want to see a handful of web services that are built around this.
