The magazine was first launched in the middle-east about six years ago. But last year saw the downfall of both Filmfare and Femina magazines, which were eventually shut. This year, it has taken a new leap ahead. Talking to the Gulf News, a spokesperson from the Dubai-based Danube said, “Filmfare re-launch was an ambitious dream but I was confident that my team and I would get the best result possible. We took some time but now we are all set to re-launch Filmfare in the Middle East.”
