indian tv is a cacophony, a babel with plenty of money involved though.
talent shows rule the roost. u can dance alone, dance with a partner, sing alone or sing with partner; the choices are huge. bappi lahri's double chin appears almost every other second as i flip the channels. the man is on ever damn channel, holding his headphones with both hands as if they will fall down any moment. some one tell him that with that giant a face between them, they r never coming down. the man is enjoyin himself. judging people and getting paid for that. awesome. but he is tolerable, much better than watching anu malik plagiarise in real life too-- trying to be a mean desi simon cowell.
saas bahus r planning strategies n war games as usual. their dialogues leave me bamboozled.wt seems to be a normal missing document situation is misconstrued by them to be a deadly "chaal" by the opponent bahu or jethani or devrani or mausi or wtever. they talk about shatranj and manipulations. i say get them on the five year planning commission and let them make the strategies. the award deserving background music along with the wavering camera (which comes from the left, then right, then bottom, then top on the same person who is giving us another one of his/her run of the mill expression with disappointingly finical accuracy) was enough to leave me wondering y god y??. y and simply how can some1 watch this horrendous waste of talent. must say that they are the being typical stereotypes. they give every show n every concept the same shitty feel. come on guys, even bollywood is trying these days.star world rocks. star network made a smart move by separating cricket from their other 2 sports channels. with dish at home i have now about 6 english movie channels but jst not enough time at my disposal. anyways, its always good to know that u can even if u dont.
