Ab TV Ka Mazaa Internet par…
Q
uite a hit on the internet is television’s new offering titled ‘Jay Hind’ hosted by Sumeet Raghavan. The show which has a concept similar to Movers and Shakers has an altogether different medium (internet, that is!). The show, which started on 15th of August this year, had over one million viewers in a short span of 15 days. And thus, was the party to commemorate its success. The party which started off with a special rock band performance by the ‘Zedde’ band enthralled one and all. As their gig winded up, there was an entire swarm-up of Sumeet’s well-wishers including Anant Mahadevan, Anang Desai, Dheeraj Kumar, Rakesh Bedi, Maninee with hubby Mihir Misshra, Sudhanshu Pande and wife Mona, Mansi Verma, Sunil Grover, Shagufta Ali, Arya and Juhi Babbar, Deven Bhojani, J.D.

A splendid visit to Karol Bagh...
With the onset of various shows trying to do different things and things differently, the latest one on the telly tube is Zee TV’s 12/24 Karol Bagh. The show, which, before its launch had a splendid set visit exclusively in Delhi saw all the actors, Producer and husband-wife duo Sudhir and Seema Sharma, Mr. Akash Chawla, the Marketing head of Zee along with Sukesh Motwani, the Creative head of Zee show up for the same.
T
alking of his decision to shift base in Delhi, Sudhir said, “It takes longer to travel within Mumbai but it hardly takes some three hours to reach Delhi. We were skeptical to shoot the entire show in Delhi first but finally went in for it. The profit here is that we’ll get brand equity, respectability but on the other hand it takes a lot of guts. But we shot here because apart from the actors, even the rickshawallah will have the same accent. Just like the Sagars shoot in Vadodara, we plan to do it here and I’m sure there will be many people following suit after this. On the real sets we can maneuver it well. Real dikhaana is a tough task….you are not making a Shyam Benegal movie. To create a psyche was a task.” And just as we ask as to what’s new in the show bang comes the reply from Akash, “We try portraying the changing trends in the country through our shows and characters. The show is relatable to all the Indian families. We shot in Karol Bagh to give it an authentic look; if there’s no pulse of Karol Bagh in the show, we’ll feel that we’ve failed. The cast which comprised senior actors like Banwari Taneja (Rajendra Sethi), Alka Amin (Manju Sethi) made for an amazing concoction with the young and fresh lot of Smriti Kalra who plays the role of Simi and was an RJ before stepping her toes into acting, Waseem Mushtaq (Anuj), Sargun Mehta (Neetu), Humar Halli (Mili)
amongst others.

C
ID started in January 1998 as a weekly crime thriller and Rest is History….. It’s among the iconic shows in the history of India Television and in its 11th year of un-interrupted series since its launch; it is still going Strong. In September for the first time in 11 years it has made upto the TOP 10 Shows on Television.
A cult show with millions of fans tuning in to watch it every week, itself conveys the popularity of this show. Dramatic and absolutely erratic, C.I.D. has captivated viewers with its breathtaking plots and electrifying performances.
The CID team comprises of ACP Pradyuman (Shivaji Satam), Abhijit (Aditya Srivastav), Daya (Dayanand Shetty) and Frederick (Dinesh Phadnis) and they have made a special space for themselves in the minds of the viewers.
In November 2004, Mr B.P. Singh, Director of CID set a record in the ‘Guinness Book of World Records’ for canning an entire episode of CID in just one single shot of 111 minutes without a single cut.
In 2006, CID Special Bureau, a daily investigative thriller successfully completed 168 episodes.
CID has set high standards for the programmes of this genre to come.
Kudos to CID and they undoubtedly deserve the GR8 TV TROPHY. GR8 wishes them luck and hope we have more such sensible shows on TV.
