Savitabhabhi's exclusive and real one interview on tv!






Have you seen Savitabhabhi in person?
You will say this comic character and its site is prohibited in Bharat (not in India). But you can see her exclusive and firstever interview on internet tv. Not only interview, she is giving solution to global issues too.
You will probably say, I must be joking. 
But no, it's half true. This interview is not real one, but it's spoof. The show name is 'Jay Hind' first ever  Internet IndianTv show.' Show was launched on 15th August, 2009- Bharat's independence day. 
Better known as Sahil of 'Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai' Sumit Raghwan has become first ever anchor of internet indian tv . 
The show format is similar to 'Movers And Shakers' that came during late 90s. It was anchored by Shekhar Suman. This internet tv show 'Jay Hind' is written by Rajeev Nigam who also wrote for 'Movers And Shakers' and currently doing stand up comedy as Birbal with Rajesh Kumar in 'Dekh India Dekh'. Rajeev will be seen as common man in the said show.
Abhigyan Jha is the man behind 'Jay hind' show. The show can be watched at http://jayhind.buzzintown.com./ or http://jayhind.tv/.

Salman Khan : became active or trying to improve image?

Salman Khan is in news! But not for wrong side.

He is gifting. He is joking. He is anchoring television show (Dus Ka Dum). He is coming as participant in 'Tere Mere Beech mein' as participant along with his mother Salma Khan. He can be seen promoting Football on NDTV. He is featuring in popular show CID on sony. And now he will be seen in 'Dance Premier Leauge'.

The question is whether Salman Khan has become active or he is trying to improve his image. Answer may be whatever, but it is for sure that Shahrukh will not like his competitor going ahead of him.

Doordarshan still have good programmes, but...

On the internet, on the blogs, on the message boards, on the forums, in the article we often come across these words : Doordarshan's old days, golden days. Many people don't like today's serials, reality shows and game shows. Hence they remember old and golden days of DD when Humlog, Buniyaad, Fatichar, Ye Jo Hai Zindagi, Nukkad and Dekh Bhai Dekh like serials and shows were coming.

But DD's game is not over! Many good programmes still aired on DD! 'Rangoli' and 'Chitrahaar' is still there! One unique programme coming on DD is 'Bioscope' being aired since 2004. Coming on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Hindi feature film (this term widely used on Doordarshan, remember?Nowadays, Bollywood movie is broadly used) is shown in part. It's time is 11 pm. So, office goers or businessmen can watch movie after coming home and having dinner! Housewives can also watch it with relax. And also they don't have to watch till late night as movie is telecasted for only one hour.

One programme is 'Cine Satrangi'. Host of the show Dr. Falguni Parikh is talking about story of one film and in mean time, songs of that one film and dialogues are shown.

There is comedy serial also, 'Kabhi saas, Kabhi bahu' featuring Sushmita Mukherjee (Kitty of Karamchand), Shama Deshpande.

If you think in the age of reality show, DD is lagging behind, you are wrong. It has two shows that I have seen. One is 'Bharat (almost forgotten word, no?) ki shaan' and one is 'Krazzy Kiya Re'. 'Bharat ki shaan' is singer hunt show like 'Saregamapa', 'Indian Idol' and 'Voice Of India' judged by non another than Suresh Wadekar, Bappi Lahiri, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Ismail Darbar,  while 'Krazzy Kiya Re' is talent hunt show.

But its serials (except comedy ) are not good that's what impression I have got whenever surfing I came across to them.

In short, DD has still good programmes all it need good marketing.

Kaante ki takkar between biggies on Small screen


Tv audience will witeness Kaante ki takkar between biggies! It is now well known fact that Amitabh Bachchan is  returning on television in next month (i.e. october 2009). We will see the middle generation of indian film industry (as of now, as it can not be called gen-x.) on Sony Entertainment Television as it is launching Dance Premier League (DPL). Salman Khan (who is already hosting 'Dus Ka Dum'), Preity Zinta , Bipasha Basu, Arshad Warsi will have a significant role in it. While choreograph turned director Farah Khan is already busy with her chat show 'Tere Mere Bich Mein'. Star Plus has announced a reality show - 'perfect bride'. Shekhar Suman who is called Amitabh of Indian Television is having major role in it. (He has already turned back to acting and doing good with 'Tedhi Baat'). To add glamour quotient, Amrita Rao and Malaika Arora Khan will also be there.

So, wait and watch for these biggies setting small screen on fire!

P.S. : News got just recently says, Madhuri Dixit Nene has confirmed to participation for Dance Premier League. Aishwarya Rai is yet to confirm.Really it is going to be very big show.

How would Amitabh be fit for Big Boss?

Yes, it came as surprise! No scoop was published before the official announcement. No gossiping was there that he may return to small screen.

So, when colors channel announced on 4th September that Amitabh Bachchan will be host of Big Boss's season 3 it was really surprise for many. Before couple of years rumour heard or read about Big B was that he may host or work in a show for zee tv.

But rather than Amitabh has chosen to come back on tv, more surprising thing is that he has selected Big Boss as come back vehicle.The format and histroy of Big boss (right from season 1 that aired on Sony Entertainment Television) is of controversies, abusive words, exposures, back biting, manipulations, flirting, all that dirty games which can be played. In contrast, Amitabh Bachchan is very soft spoken. He is not angry man unlike his image on big screen. Rarely he shows his anger and even being angry he uses very selective words. He likes to be political correct.

But one should not worry for Amitabh and Big boss coming together as Amitabh has clearified on his blog that he had told colors channel to make certain changes to be in line with his image. So, the talk is that Amitabh will not be seen as host but sort of philosopher.

Return of 'Ba Bahu Aur Baby'!

'Baa Bahu Aur Baby' has returned!

The show of Hats off production had gained so much popularity in its first season, but somehow channel (star plus) kicked it like football. Show in first season used to be on air on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But whenever there would be some award show like star parivar or iifa, 'Baa bahu..' would be telecasted on another time or even cancelled. Show was then shifted to Saturday and Sunday. Frequently changing time of these show without any advertisement or notice made its loyal audiences disturbed as they could not keep track of the show.

Hope this time it doesn't get kick frequently.

This time the actress playing Leela is changed. Lubna Salim was doing fine job but somehow actress has been replaced. First episode of 'Baa Bahu..' made impression on me that the new heroine playing Leela bhabhi is not fit for this role as I have good impression of Lubna Salim (remember, the way she used to say, 'Ye to hona hi chahiye?' and 'kya Gattubhai, aap bhi?')

Even in first season, when character of Pravina was made to death by scriptwriters, I was disappointed because Vaishali Thakkar has masterly acted as Pravina. (She had acted superbly as vamp in 'Ek mahel ho sapno ka' also, do you remember?)

Lets wait for new actress getting fit in Leela Bhabhi's role.
