    Commenting on the stupendous success on internet

    , Madan Sanglikar, Mindshare Partner, Invention, Mindshare, ?The most challenging part of online production is creating a viral, as it?s always difficult to predict what message will travel on its own strength. Add to that a layer of interaction which is not just a funny take, but an engagement tool which lets one participate & then pick & choose its recipients. Interactive virals also run the risk of not being forwarded to as many friends as a basic viral would be. Keeping this background in mind, the Sach Ka Saamna game on internet did cover a lot of ground reaching about 250 thousand unique users with a about "4 times higher than average" time spent interacting with it. Good content & the right insight are always essential to hit the goldmine.

    Sach Ka Saamna stirred the soul of millions to face their hidden truth and gave truth an all new meaning. It bows out gracefully tonight from small screen but it will continue inspire the ?quest for truth? for years to come.
