SNAPSHOTS
Squeezing the star appeal
ANUJ KUMAR
"Just Dance" has just started and it seems
Star Plus is going for the Hrithik Roshan overkill.
The show is less about the participants
but more about the star's presence in the
show. During the preliminary round accomplished
judges like Farah Khan and Vaibhavi
Merchant are being made to say how Hrithik
would have reacted if he were present here.
We know Hrithik is a great dancer but his
primary identity is as an actor. He dances to
choreographed songs and is not reclusive with
the media. He is a prize catch but not the show
unto himself.
On the Rann!
"Beg, Borrow, Steal", one of the most
testing reality shows on Indian television,
is back and this time it will test its
trusted participant Aaliyah in the
treacherous terrain of Rann of Kutch. In
the show titled "Extreme Condition",
Aaliyah will have to conquer this desolate
and arid region in order to win the
challenge of covering 1,000 kms in not
more than 7 days. During this journey, if
she is unable to complete any particular
tasks on the way, she will be faced with a
penalty that will have to be performed
amidst the merciless terrain. One of
them being cycling uphill with two gallons
of buttermilk and distributing the
same to the thirsty locals! It doesn't stop
at this, to make this journey even tougher,
the crew will deny her access to basic
survival items such as water, money,
map, mobile, compass etc. that were
provided for in the previous seasons. As
they say one will do anything for
entertainment!
Oh! lord
Mythology and historicals are back
in business as producers are unearthing
new stories from our rich past.
After Zee showed faith in "Shobha
Somnath Ki", Imagine is exploring the
Krishna-Rukmini love angle in
"Dwarkadheesh-Bhagwan Shri Krishna".
Produced by old faithful, Sagar
Pictures, Vishal Karwal, who was last
seen in "Pratha", plays the role of
Krishna, Priya Bhatija will be seen as
Rukmini and Nikitin Dheer, the son of
Pankaj Dheer, the actor best known as
Karna of "Mahabharat", plays King
Kalyavan, who tested the Lord's
prowess.
