The real-life battle to win movie tickets, merchandise, and other prizes every day, and for a chance to attend a special preview screening of the movie, has already started even before the reel-life battle begins later this month. Releasing worldwide on January 26, the movie revolves around Vijay Dinanath Chauhan (Hrithik Roshan) walking on the path of fire (Agneepath) in his journey of revenge againstKancha (Sanjay Dutt). Priyanka Chopra plays the female lead of Vijay’s aide and best friend Kaali while Rishi Kapoor plays city gang lord Rauf Lala.  Directed by Karan Malhotra, and produced by Hiroo Yash Johar and Karan Johar, the film also features Om Puri, and Katrina Kaif makes a special appearance.

Says Apoorva Mehta, CEO, Dharma Productions, “In a networked world, traditional marketing alone is not enough to ensure success of a movie. We are engaging in multiple ways to create memorable experiences for our Agneepath fans. We have partnered with mydala.combecause of domain expertise and experience in creating unique and successful social commerce campaigns for Bollywood movie launches.”

As many as 2000 merchants across 11 Indian cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Chennai, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Lucknow have already professed their allegiance to either Vijay’s or Kancha’s gang by sporting their gang posters for the movie at their merchant outlets, and are now enrolling thousands of customers to join their gang to emerge as winners through pamphlets bearing promo codes. Every customer who shops for Rs 500/- or more at any of these merchant locations is eligible to receive a leaflet with a unique promo code. Customers purchasing deals worth Rs.500/- or more on www.mydala.com during this contest period will also receive a promo code. The campaign runs till Jan 31, 2012. Both merchants as well as customers get several opportunities to win Agneepath merchandise, movie tickets, mydala vouchers and other attractive prizes EVERYDAY. Six selected winners will also get to attend a special preview screening of Agneepath before the movie’s release.
