Hindi TV Serial – Pavitra Rishta Written Update – Rasika playing games using Vandu as a shield, and Varsha in trouble
On May 11, 2010 in Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Masala, Middle Class, Pavitra Rishta, Revenge, Romance, Saas-Bahu, TV, Zee
How many coincidences can there be ? It would seem that there are no other families in the whole of Maharashtra society except these 4 families, the family of Manav, the family of Archana and Varsha, the family of Sathish, and the family of Ajit (and Rasika). They are all getting heavily inter-related; with the marriage between Vandu and Ajit putting Ajit and Rasika in a much stronger position. And the marriage of Varsha with Sathish caused issues, since it turns out that Varsha’s former boss (and the person with whom she had an affair) Ashwin is also Sathish’s brother-in-law and his wife Urmila (Ashwin’s wife and Sathish’s wife) is a very nice lady, somebody to whom Sathish is very attached.
Now, when Varsha’s family and Manav find out that about Ashwin, they are very worried about whether the truth will be revealed, especially about whether Ashwin will do something to spoil the marriage (or the duo of Ajit and his mother Rasika). However the marriage happens peacefully, but Varsha is always worried, especially now that Ashwin is in the same house, and he does refer to this many times when he finds Varsha all alone or when he sometimes gives a call. And all this while neither Sathish or Urmila know about this, and nobody is telling Sathish about this affair of Varsha (which will prove to be a mistake).
Now, Rasika is applying the pressure on Vandu by insisting that her mother, Savita tai go to Sathish’s house and tell the truth about Varsha’s past affair with Ashwin, but Savita is in no mood to do something like this since she no longer feels that bitter towards Archana’s family; and in fact exposure to Archana has changed her opinion of Archana (she no longer feels that the separation of Archana and Manav is a good thing).
Hindi TV Serial – 12/24 Karol Bagh – A fight between Abhi and Simi over Simi not telling Abhi about attack on her by Bhalla
On May 10, 2010 in 12/24 Karol Bagh, Character, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Romance, TV, Zee
It seems too good to last. For any serial, there is always the urge to introduce some tension between the lead characters, something that the makers of 12/24 Karol Bagh have started to do, between the lead pair of Abhi and Simi (with Abhi a bit immature as well, more prone to some amount of aggressiveness, as well as also being possessive of Simi). Abhi managed to get the eviction order on the house withdrawn and thus prevented Rajiv Bhalla from throwing the family out of the house, something that angered Bhalla to a large degree. Bhalla is not able to take this insult easily, and wants to take revenge by taking the house next to them, by taking 13/24 Karol Bagh.
Simi and Abhi are being romantic, but at some point, Abhi discovers a small piece of paper from Bhalla in Simi’s purse, and is furious at Simi for hiding something like this from him. He manages to get Simi to tell him that this piece of paper was a letter from Bhalla where he promised to be lenient in the matter of the house if Simi came to him; and when Abhi got to know this, he was furious with Simi. He actually fights with Simi, telling her that she has done something that can threaten their marriage, given that she is hiding things from him, and it is such small things that can break a marriage. She tries to tell him that she hid it from him because of his anger, but is unable to mollify Abhi.
He then moves out of the house in anger, trying to find Bhalla in order to beat him up, and has to go from place to place to try to find Bhalla. In the meantime, Simi’s mother goes along with Milli to Abhi and Anita’s house in order to invite them to a prayer in their house; Mr. Taneja refuses since he says that relations between the houses are not good, but Mrs. Taneja agrees to come, and even persuades Anita to go back to Anuj’s house (but Anita is not planning to go in a good mood).
Hindi TV Serial – Dance India Dance – Won by Shakti Mohan from Terrence Ki Toli on 23 April 2010
On April 25, 2010 in Competition, Contest, Dance, Dance India Dance, Hindi Serial, Popular, Reality Show, TV, Video, Zee
Dance India Dance is a dance contest that appears on Zee TV, now for 2 seasons. It is one of the few shows (like Indian Idol on Sony) that gives a chance to normal people to show off their skills, in this case, their Dance skills (and in fact, there is no other show that allows ordinary people to show off their dancing skills). It has become fairly popular, attracting a huge amount of attention and ensuring that contestants spend a lot of time preparing for the show, showing dancing skills that are incredible. Now, when you look at some of the finalists, they seem as good as people you see in the movies, and prepare some incredible acts.
Dance India Dance has had a number of celebrity guests such as: Salman Khan, Dia Mirza, Amitabh Bachchan, Vivek Oberoi, Govinda Ahuja, Helen, Arshad Warsi, Jeetendra, Boman Irani, Ritesh Deshmukh, with the judges being Terence Lewis, Remo D’Souza and Geeta Kapur. In addition, Mithun Chakraborty is the Grandmaster of the show, and even has veto powers to use once in the show to change a decision.
After a lot of steps, the last 4 finalists were:
Shakti Mohan, 24 (Mumbai)
Dharmesh Yelande, 27 (Vadodara)
Punit Pathak, 23 (Mumbai)
Binny Sharma, 22 (Ahmedabad)
The final was a long affair (and maybe the show organizers should ensure that the finals should never be so long that they lose the attention of viewers. We started watching the program, but lost interest midway and switched on again only at the end).

Hindi TV Serial – Yahan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli – the twisted relations, and how easy marriage is
On April 25, 2010 in Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Romance, Ruthless, TV, Video, Yahan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli, Yeh Main Ghar Ghar Kheli, Zee
Yahan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli is a serial that comes on Zee TV, and is produced by Rajshri Productions. The serial is about the life of people revolving around a house along with the fight between their fathers, and the relations between their children, especially when the children get married. So, you have a house called Swarn Bhavan, a majestic house in Ujjain. The house is the property of the rich Thakur family, Thakur Uday Pratap Singh, who is somewhat proud of his house and family name. However, in a change of circumstances, the Thakur is brought down to earth when he keeps on losing money, and finally has to put his house on the block. And the person who moved him out of his house is the son of his own driver, Jagmohan Prasad, who hates the Thakur and wants to humiliate him. He leaves no chance to embarrass the Thakur and kicks him out of the house, with the Thakur having to live in a small house in Ujjain (and this is deeply disturbing for the Thakur). What is even more troubling for the Thakur is that his daughter Swarn Abha is now bringing money into the house through working at the same Swarn Bhavan, working for Jagmohan. And even more so, when Jagmohan, for even more revenge, plots to get Abha married to a drunkard, his son, Karan Prasad marries her (without any registration, without any matras, but taking her around a fire 7 times) to save her from this. She does not accept this, although Karan now accepts her as his wife. But complications arise when an old friend of hers, Sanskar realizes his love for Abha and wants to marry her, while Karan’s friend Sania wants to marry Karan. How does Karan prevent Abha from getting married to Sanskar, and will Abha do anything from her side as well ?
