Worst 5 Shows on Star Plus

Still not learned from previous lessons, Star Plus still sticks on to the Agony aunty serials. It is high time for Star Plus to withdraw itself from long interminable serials to some General Knowledge quiz and more reality programmes.

Few such serials from which Star Plus should detach itself are:

  1. Kis Desh Me Hai Mera Dil:  Kis desh mein Hai Meraa DilBanned in India to the mid day time, it is still in operation in the Middle East in the prime time. High time Ekta Kapoor and Star Plus, enough has been done away with death, re-incarnation and double marriage. Think of some other alternative to bamboozle viewers.
  2. Raja Ki Ayegi Barat: raja-ki-ayegi-barat Again banned in India to the day time slot, it is shown as a mirthful serial in the Middle East. Again the subject of one marriage, culminating into another marriage, still sticking to the earlier wife, Star Plus should end up the serial with immediate effect.
  3. Bidai:Sapna Babul Kaa Bidai Having left with no option, the producer thought he will switch over the only one good person in the serial, chotti ma to a vamp to increase the TRP; I don’t think  it has made any impact on the viewers, it is the dullest serial, showing a beautiful but poor girl living with a madman who does not know the significance of marriage.
  4. Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata He: Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata He The producer and Star Plus only knows Yeh Rishta Kya kahlatha He. The generation-X teenager does not distinctively identify herself with the main lead of the serial, the main lead is shown as too much timorous and nervous, who believes?
  5. Sach Ka Saamna: ssach-ka-samna-0 We hope that it will not re-christen again, as it does not suit the Indian culture, our kids are not being born and brought up in the kind of questions being asked by the host; our children may not have heard of anything so much belligerent about the  things
    Never tell a story because it is true: tell it because it is a good story.

What do Bollywood stars watch on TV?

Prison Break

Well here is list of what starts watch on TV

08_raima_1912_430xx

Raima Sen: I only watch 'Friends' and 'Sex and The City'. Both are hilarious and the characters are easy to relate to. I also liked 'Fear Factor', though I'd never want to participate in it.

07_saif_1912_430xx

Saif Ali Khan: My favourite TV shows are 'Entourage', 'Sherlock Holmes', 'Hercule Poirot', 'Blackadder', 'Prison Break', '24', 'The X Files', 'Murder She Wrote' and 'Who's The Boss'.

 

Vidya Balan: I used to watch 'Nach Baliye' sometimes. Otherwise no TV show has me really hooked. When I've the time, I watch films. I used to be an avid TV watcher before I joined films. Now I've become very impatient. Since I don't have the time to follow the soaps, I end up watching just the news or music channels. Even the news channels are so tacky sometimes. I enjoy the music talent shows. These shows have given us so much singing talent. However, one aspect of these shows upsets me. People on these shows come just for 15 minutes of fame and not for the love of the arts. Sorry if I sound judgmental, but no one seems to have his or her priorities right on these shows.

Kay Kay Menon: I don't normally watch daily soaps or reality shows. I watch news and sports channels. I also watch National Geographic, Discovery and History channels. Recently, I watched the music talent show 'Junoon Kuch Kar Dikhane Ka' on NDTV Imagine. I loved it for its superior standards and quality of singing.

Dino Morea: I only watch television for sports, or if there's important news. Or if I'm on some show.

R. Madhavan: I watch television for about an hour at the most. And that too depends on my shooting schedule. My favourite TV shows are the ones on National Geographic, 'Untamed Africa', etc. Barring a few, most news channels are tabloids and I find it very hard to digest the content. Reality shows are now formated and predictable.

Manoj Bajpai: I only watch news channels because I want to keep abreast of what's happening in the world.

Naseeruddin Shah: I only watch tennis and cricket on television. Also old movies. I tried watching the Olympics on television and gave up for obvious reasons.

Shah Rukh Khan makes Saif Kareena on pins and needles

’KYA AAP Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain’ is building up the impetus, with Shahrukh Khan as the anchor, this show has become a ought to watch for people of all type of age groups. The fifth standard questions have by now made all the doctors and professional contestants sweat till date. Adding to their discomfiture, they have to look in front of the camera and say that they, even after being so educated, are not ’tez’ than a ’panchvi pass’.

The hottest couple to attend the classes would be Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor. The couple would answer the questions by means of their brainpower, humor and knowledge. It would be attention-grabbing to see how far the couple would go in answering the questions.

The shoot of the special episode is over but it has not yet been finalized when the show would be telecast. Previously Bebo and Saif had appeared in Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by SRK, individually. But this time, they would appear jointly to face the headmaster’s questions. As customary, the amount the couple would win will be donated for charitable trust of their choice.

Dus Ka Dum première on Sony TV with Salman Khan

Salman Khan too made his first appearance on the small screen with Dus ka Dum on Sony TV. It is the creation of Siddhartha Basu and Synergy Labs, the inventors of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ and ‘Paanchvi Paas Se Tez.

 

 

Distinct from other shows like KBC or Paanchvi Paas Se Tez, Dus ka Dum is not a quiz proramme. General Knowledge need not be crammed. The show is reasonably very uncomplicated and is likely to be acquainted with the Indian audiences very rapidly. The contestants should have the similar feeling what most of the Indian feel .The nearer the player is to the answer in the estimation poll,the healthier are his chances of winning. 

Salman Khan like SRK was seen having a close bonding with the participants, but it had to be mentioned that he does not acquire the magnetism nor the screen existence like King Khan. All the player has to do is make a presumption of how the majority of Indians are belief. The show probably may catch up in the days to come. The prize money of 10 Crores is the largest amount offered on a Game Show in India thus far. But in the first episode, the first contestant lost Rs. 10 lakhs in the pursuit to play for the 1 crore question.  Had she quitted at Rs. 10 lakhs she need not have faced herself in such a distressing and reprehensible state of affairs. But as the case is, this is the rule of the game!!
