The game will be released on the movie's Facebook page
New media agency, Red Digital, today announced the launch of the official social game based on UTV’s upcoming movie 'Thank You' slated for release on April 8, 2011. The game is a Facebook application and will be released on UTV Motion Picture’s Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/utvmotionpictures
Thank You’s plot revolves around Raj, Yogi and Vikram – best friends, business partners, serial womanizers and happily married! Happy, because their lovely wives have no clue that their husbands cheat on them with every pretty young thing they can lay their eyes on. This picture perfect world is rocked when Raj’s wife, Sanjana begins to suspect her husband and hires the suave private detective, Kishan, to tail him. Kishan’s built his reputation as a man who saves marriages by getting erring husbands to mend their ways. In this particular case, however, his overwhelming attraction towards Sanjana means he may not be acting in her best interest! What follows is a crazy cat and mouse game, with Kishan trying to catch the husbands with their pants down literally and them attempting to just stay outside his grasp. This laugh a minute comic caper will have you in splits, continuing with the signature comic timing you have come to expect from the maker of No Entry, Welcome and Singh Is Kinng.
The game is in-sync with the movie’s theme. In the game, the user has to step in the shoes of Detective Kishan (Akshay Kumar) and help Sanjana (Sonam Kapoor) to catch Raj, Yogi and Vikram red-handedly flirting with girls. In the game, a user will have to click photographs at the right time to catch the flirtatious husbands and with every 5 correct photographs the user moves to the next level of the game.
Shikha Kapur, Sr. VP (Mktg), Motion Pictures – UTV said, “Movie based games are definitely becoming popular among both gamers and movie enthusiasts today. They help the movie reach out to the masses, introducing the premise of the film and giving them a chance to experience it even before the release.
