Kasuti Zindagi Ki will run on-air for some more time with some other gizza pitta episodes, it is learnt. Earlier the serial was going off-air by 17th January. May be Prerna grandma might have requested Ekta Kapoor that now that her divorce proceedings are filed in the court, she may require lots of money to battle the case, hence the show might be extending.
The grand finale of Jhoom India (Sahara One) will be held on 18th January,2008 with Varun-Akriti and Sachin-Madhushree. Both of the jodis Varun and Sachin are awful singers, so henceforth versatile singers like Sonu Nigham and Abhijeet can sit home sulking ,as actors are passionate towards singing too.
Amul Star Voice of India, Chotte Ustad, is turning out to be a good show It is a musical reality show which will find out and launch the most excellent young singing talent from the world of music. Adolescents with dreams of stardom will prove their spirit on this platform. To uncover the real Voice of India, aptitude from diverse corners of the nation will be selected and judged by some of the most honoured names in Indian music industry – extremely talented singers Shreya Goshal and Kunal Ganjawala and music director Pritam and hosted by the talented Voice of India challenger Abhaas.

K for Kishore is a only one of its kind, a music reality show in Sony TV. It is a programme with 12 contestants, challenging and aiming at being the voice closest to that of Kishore Kumar. The judges for the show are popular music director & singer Bappi Lahiri who knew Kishoreda as a friend and musician, singer Sudesh Bhonsale, who completed all Kishoreda’s incomplete film songs after his death. It is different from most reality shows, here the judges and studio audiences will have the vital say in the contestants’ headway to next round. So far the show did not take off much- until in the last episode lady singers from previous Indian Idol contest sang with the male singers. That gave a boost to the show. Now it is understood that things are not in good twist between the two hosts Babul Supriyo and Rajeshwari. Rajeshwari, incidentally is the wife of Varun(who is a final contestant for Jhoom India, Sahara One).
Sapna Baabul ka…Bidaai , Star Plus is again turning out to a pretty good serial, which can be watched by the full family unit as it is very clean and the storyline is something similar to film Vivah.

The serial has reached an ultimate high as it records a high TRP of 5.4 last week, and has even surpassed the ratings of the ever popular K serial KyunKi Saaa Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.. To add twist to the life of the main central character Ragini , played by Parul Chauhan, she learns to dance and joins a dancing institute run by the new entry Sadia Siddhiqui. Sadia was last seen in Saat Phere and is seen on television after a long break.

2007 was a great year for the Hindi film industry. BestDesi team chooses top 10 films.
- This year Fresh new faces made an appearance, old talents resurfaced, and already successful actors moved out of their comfort zone.
- 2007 gave us Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor (both in Saawariya), Deepika Padukone (Om Shanti Om) and Darsheel Safary (Taare Zameen Par) – the bright new faces of tomorrow’s Bollywood.
- We saw Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan take on roles they’ve never done before: Shah Rukh giving up his mannerisms (in Chak De India!), Aamir becoming a director (in Taare Zameen Par).
- Madhuri Dixit and Govinda both made their comebacks, pleasing their huge fan followings no end.
2007’s ten best films, in no particular order:
- Gandhi, My Father
Cast: Akshaye Khanna, Bhoomika Chawla
Plot: The film focuses on Harilal, the son of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Its message: The father of the Indian nation failed as a father to his son.
Why it’s special: A very bold and sensitive storyline was taken forward by exceptional acting, particularly by Akshaye Khanna as the disturbed son of the Mahatma.
- Chak De India!
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Vidya Malvade etc.
Plot: A disgraced former Indian hockey captain bounces back to lead the women’s team to international victory, against all odds.
Why it’s special: Based on the real-life story of Mir Ranjan Negi, a former coach of the Indian women’s hockey team, the film saw Shah Rukh Khan rise spectacularly above his mannerisms. The film proved that a Hindi film can work without any singing around trees. It also helped rekindle public interest in the national sport of hockey.
- Om Shanti Om
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone etc.
Plot: Inspired by the Eighties classic Karz, the film revolves around revenge and re-incarnation, with Shah Rukh in a double role with a twist.
Why it’s special: The film dares to make fun of Seventies’ and Eighties’ Bollywood, including Big B, yet is always in good taste. Brilliant music, acting and costumes all around. Model Deepika makes a pretty good impression in her first film.
- Aaja Nachle
Cast: Madhuri Dixit, Akshaye Khanna, Kunal Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma
Plot: A dancer returns to her roots and forces her city to sit up and take notice.
Why it’s special: Madhuri Dixit’s comeback movie may have not done well in the box office, but it proved — again — that Madhuri is beautiful, talented and an exceptional dancer. The fairy-tale plot let the otherwise good movie down.
- Bhool Bhulaiya
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Shiney Ahuja
Plot: A psycho-thriller, the movie revolves around a “haunted” house, an ancient family and its many complications.
Why it’s special: Remake of a classic Malayalam film, Bhool Bhulaiya moves quickly with edge-of-seat action. Vidya Balan shines in a role of many shades.
- Guru
Cast: Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, R. Madhavan, Vidya Balan, Mithun Chakraborty
Plot: A rags-to-riches story, arguably inspired by the life of Indian tycoon Dhirubhai Ambani.
Why it’s special: A taut storyline that saw exceptional acting by its cast. The director dared to deglamorise Aishwarya and re-introduce Mithun, a senior actor languishing in B-grade movies.
- Partner
Cast: Salman Khan, Govinda, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif
Plot: A remake of Hitch, the story’s all about falling in love – and its many complications.
Why it’s special: A fun movie, it marks the re-entry of Govinda as an A-list actor with perfect comic timing.
- Taare Zameen Par
Cast: Aamir Khan, Darsheel Safary, Tanay Chheda, Tisca Chopra
Plot: A young boy with dyslexia grapples with life, until he meets his mentor — an art teacher also with dyslexia.
Why it’s special: “Perfectionist” Aamir Khan’s directorial debut, this film is exceptional in its story-telling. Truly sensitive, minus melodrama and highlighting an often-ignored condition, Taare may also have given Bollywood a new generation star, Darsheel, 11.
Big super flops
The year 2007 has also been marked by some spectacular flops, many of them from celebrated directors.
- Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s musical, Saawariya, did poorly at the box office, despite the much-hyped debut of star kids Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor; the film has a look alike of a ballet with only colours of blue.
- Pradip Sarkar’s Lagaa Chunari Mein Daag had a hackneyed storyline and crippling melodrama. The film died naturally, despite the presence of stars such as Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan.
- Another huge failure was Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, a poorly-judged remake of Sholay – a top Bollywood film of all time. Even the presence of Amitabh Bachchan, this time as villain, failed to lift it.

Are any of my vital organs seen?
Kangana Ranaut merely doesn’t fear about what people have to say about her picture on the cover of a film magazine. Seen in a body suit, Kangana’s picture is attached to by a headline that screams: Naked truth exposed!
Kangana’s so-called nude appearance has arrested a lot of attention. The actress, however, is unfazed. She says, “What’s the big deal about the picture? Are any of my vital organs seen? I haven’t posed nude at all. These days one doesn’t need to. Body suits are available readily in the market.”
Kangana fails to understand why so many eyebrows are being evoked? She says, “Why would I be upset? It was for an annual issue and we just tried doing something divergent. In my profession, one has to do different kinds of photo shoots. I fail to understand why such a big deal is made about a normal picture.”

Nevertheless they never came across eye to eye since rumours allege that Salman make it a bespeak and passes away out of his way to ascertain that he behaves not knock against his passé.
This party comprised no more dissimilar and Sallu bhai made his entry through the back entrance only after the Bachchans had left the building. The word of mouth is that Sallu has his escort keep open a watch and assure whether the Bachchan’s are still there or are they gone, it is only after they have left that he enters.
