The epitome of Bharat’s culture and heritage, Josh, with this campaign aimed at infusing every Indian’s heart with music while encouraging them to enjoy several underexplored genres of music like retro, sufi, romantic, emotional, blockbuster on the short-video platform.

 

#Let’sPlayAntakshari that launched on June 21, 2021 ran till June 27, 2021 in a fun and highly engaging format. Every day, one iconic singer dropped a theme (say ‘Mausam’), a word (say Dil) or a letter (say ‘M’) on the platform inviting wide-range participation and videos from users and creators. What elevated the fun and set this one-week music extravaganza apart, was that thousands of users and creators across India shared exciting videos featuring themselves in duets with celebs. The app’s Antakshari special filter was a hit among users as it made them look and feel like a star. By the end of the high- octane campaign, #Let’sPlayAntakshari clocked spectacular engagement with over 50,000 videos being uploaded by 12,000+ creators, garnering over 2.1 billion views on Josh.

Umang Bedi, Co-Founder, Josh said, In what has been indeed a challenging year for all of us, celebrations like these bring satisfaction to our hearts and evoke the spirit of oneness in us. While #LetsPlayAntakshari provided our audiences with a rich musical week, it was also a step towards Josh’s commitment in giving exposure to budding creators to collaborate with top level artists and showcase their talent. As the famous saying goes ‘baithe baithe kya karein, karna hai kuch kaam, shuru kare antakshari leke prabhu ka naam’ – so we thought why not make use of this opportunity while staying safe at our homes!”
