    Saravanan Meenakshi (Vijay TV) and Mogali Rekulu (Gemini TV) have emerged as the Most Popular Fiction Shows in the Tamil and Telugu languages respectively for the year 2012 according to the results of Front Page 2012: A Media & Entertainment Review, the Ormax Media yearender.

     

    While the most popular Tamil show belongs to Vijay TV, Sun TV dominates the list with the maximum number of shows on the popularity list. Even amidst a host of competing channels, it has a collective popularity score of 40%. Raj TV’s only show in the popularity charts is Sindhu Bhairavi, which is a dubbed version of the Hindi show Uttaran.

    In Telugu, nearly all the popular channels have their fair representation in the list of most popular fiction shows. Among male fiction preferers, the popularity of Mogali Rekulu is unmatched (34% popularity share among males as compared to 18% among females). This can be attributed to the subject that deals with the heroic deeds of ACP RK Naidu in the show. Also, reflecting the national sentiment is the popularity of CID, which is also male-driven (15% among males as compared to 2% among females).

  • Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif emerge Sexiest Celebrities of 2012 as per results of Front Page 2012: A Media & Entertainment Review, the Ormax Media yearender

    Front Page 2012: Salman & Katrina Sexiest Celebs of 2012

    By A Correspondent

    According to the results of Front Page 2012: A Media & Entertainment Review, the Ormax Media yearender, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif emerge as the Sexiest Celebrities in the year 2012. They both also rank as the Most Popular Bollywood Stars in the male and female category respectively.

    The results are based on our proprietary celebrity-tracking tool, Celebritix, which tracks the imagery of more than 60 celebrities (across films, television and sports) on 20 key dimensions. Celebritix covers 4,000 respondents every quarter in the 18-45 age group across SEC ABC.

    Salman Khan who emerged as the sexiest male celebrity had a great year, with two blockbusters at the box office – Ek Tha Tiger and Dabangg 2. He also hosted an eminently successful season of Bigg Boss this year. Katrina Kaif tops the list of sexiest female celebrities by a considerable margin. This year, Katrina featured in big releases like Ek Tha Tiger and Jab Tak Hai Jaan, and also ruled the song charts with her Chikni Chameli ‘item number’ in Agneepath.

    The table below lists the top 5 sexiest celebrities – male and female with their respective ranks.

    Yuvraj Singh

    5

     

     

     

     

     

    Yuvraj Singh, in his comeback year to International cricket, had high scores on sexiness which indicates that the attribute is not just about a conventionally well-toned physique, but also overall fitness and physical appeal of the celebrity. The other cricketers on the list are Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni on rank 3 and 5 respectively.

     

    Amongst female celebrities, Kareena Kapoor who had a spate of releases and endorsements, besides a much-publicised marriage with Saif Ali Khan, occupies the second position on the list. She is followed by Priyanka Chopra, Madhuri Dixit and Sania Mirza. Madhuri’s presence on the list proves that true sex appeal is ageless questioning the seemingly inverse relationship between marriage and sex appeal.

    Doraemon (Disney) continues to be at the second position, though Bheem has managed to widen the gap this year. Hattori (Ninja Hattori: Nick) takes the third position, overtaking Jerry (Tom & Jerry: Cartoon Network) this year.

     

    Besides kids channels, children also watch GEC content. The top 5 GEC characters among kids are given in the table below.

    Front Page 2012: Narendra Modi Is ‘Newsmaker of The Year’

    By A Correspondent

     

    According to the results of Front Page 2012: A Media & Entertainment Review, the Ormax Media year-ender, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi emerges as the Top Newsmaker of the Year 2012. Mr Modi’s third consecutive win in the Gujarat Assembly elections, coupled with speculation about him being BJP’s prime-ministerial candidate for 2014, ensured his high visibility in the media during the year.

     

    The second position is occupied by Sachin Tendulkar. Besides his 100th century in international cricket, he was also in the news over his loss of form during the Australian & England Test series and his retirement from ODI cricket.  While news on Sachin Tendulkar featured among the top 5 headlines as well, India’s best ever performance in the Olympics failed to make it to the top 5 news headlines (list given below). Arvind Kejriwal too had ample media presence over his allegations of corruption against multiple prominent personalities and the launch of his ‘Aam Aadmi’ party.

     

    The graph below captures the top 5 newsmakers of the year with their respective scores:

     

    The nationwide outrage after the Delhi gangrape became News Headline of the Year 2012. The news was widely reported in the foreign press and continues to be a heavy topic of discussion, with demands for more stringent anti-rape laws and a more vigilant and sensitive police force. Ajmal Kasab’s hanging ranked second, closely followed by Narendra Modi’s win in Gujarat elections.
