KBC Season 4 to See More Money & More Fun

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 11:08 AM PDT

The quite popular and perhaps one of the longest running games shows on Indian television, Kaun Banega Crorepati is back to hit your screens this October. The quiz show will be hosted by Bollywood's Big B Mr. Amitabh Bachchan who promises that this season of KBC has a lot to offer to the audience as well the participants.

Kaun Banega Crorepati had started with the final bet being a win of Rs1 crore. But now the bet is being placed higher. The final question is worth 5 times more! Yes, the final question will get the participant a whopping sum of Rs5 crore! Taking recession, inflation and all things similar I guess this is one price hike Indians will like!

The format of questions remaining the same, there will be 12 questions with a winning prize of Rs1 crore each except the last one worth Rs5 crore. The helplines are the same except one-the '50:50' option that narrowed down the choices to 2 for the participant will longer exist. Instead we will have a new helpline-'Ask an Expert'.

Sounds similar to 'Phone a friend' doesn't it? Also there is a new ‘double dip' option that will allow the user to have second go at an answer. A bit like '50:50' again.

Sidhharth Basu of Big Synergy (producer) along with Big B today announced the changes to KBC Season 4 at a press conference. The Kaun Banega Crorepati show ill go on air on Sony TV starting from Amitabh Bachchan's birthday October 11th. The megastar has promised the viewers a crispier and faster KBC4. (One question Mr. Bachachan, does 'faster' show mean lesser ads?)

So fans of KBC keep yourselves free on October 11 as the most famous game show in the history of India- Kaun Banega Crorepati will begin its 4th saga.

Bidaai

Bidaai

Sapna Babul Ka…Bidaai a flagship show on Starplus brought about immense recognition for each and every character that formed a part of the show but the best part is that the show has crossed a breath taking milestone of 700 episodes within a span of 3 years and is now set to take an adieu from the audience.

Insider sources revealed about the mega hit show that Bidaai will soon go off air because of the fall in TRP's that have reached a decent level of 4 and also the length of the serial that is extremely notable. Hence in light to this the production house has been under negotiations with the channel about the shift of timings or the complete closure of the serial, whichever case seems more pliable for the channel.

Sources also revealed that the serial had an option of changing the time slot to afternoon but the channel and production group instead finalized on the decision to bring the show to a halt after the completion of three years on the 8th of October. The ending D day is scheduled for the 13th of November.

When the producer was contacted for further insight into the issue he did not give into any accounts about anything related to the closure.

Another close associate of the show Vibha Chibber said that the rumors are making rounds but nothing is confirmed as of now. The current storyline that the serial is working on is the separation of Alekh from his own daughter because of Sakshi.

Big Boss season 4 the reality with a change

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 07:37 AM PDT

Big Boss season 4 will come ahead with a new wave of entertainment as not just the host has been changed to Salman Khan but also the show will be cast on a whole new channel with whole new ways. Insider sources revealed that the format of the show this year will be a little different from the previous ways the show undertook.

While during the previous season it was Amitabh Bachchan as the host of this reality show all dressed in formal wear, this year it will be Salman with a more casual look. The language that Salman will adopt to connect to the common audience and inmates will also be pretty similar to his super cool dressing style with a hint of casualness that will work for the common masses.

The Channel has also worked very hard to maintain the names of the 13 contestants as an absolutely secretive aspect this time. There is not even the slightest hint as to who could be among the controversial 13 inmates that will occupy the house this season.

Media tried to make a rough evaluation of who could be the cat in the Big Boss bag and they stammered across a few famous names that include Sneha Ullal, Dimpy Mahajan, Chunky Pandey, Avika Gor, Sangeeta Bijlani, Jackie Shroff, Manoj Tiwari, Sara Khan, Shaan, Shiney Ahuja, Shweta Tiwary, Rajesh Khanna,Simone Singh and Vinod Khanna, but their no confirmation yet from the show producers as to whether the toss is accurate or not.

Akshay Kumar to bring together the two king khans on the same platform

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 07:07 AM PDT

Akshay Kumar is know for his dare devilry and acts that involve turning impossible to possible but this time, the actor has once again proved this aspect but in a whole new light by asking film fraternity people like Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan to join the cause he is supporting in the Olympic bharat that is a kind of games league for people who have different capabilities.

The biggest buzz is that possibly the two Khans will come on the same platform along with Akhsay to create magic at the event. The enmity between the two Khans is a thing of the past now wherein recently the two have been seen gelling together well at a variety of events including the ramp walk that the two shared for a humane cause that required B-Town initiative.

Now since Akki has decided to reach Salman and Shahrukh with the cause backed help, there is a fair share of possibility that Salllu will not flag a red sign for the event. While SRK it seems will enthusiastically agree to be a part of the initiative as he is known for the love of sports.

Akki and SRK constantly keep in touch with one another and share a close bond; it was just a few days back that SRK hit the sets of Tees Mar Khan, a film that stars Akshay in the lead role. Akki told media that the confirmation from all sides is yet to come but he is indeed looking forward to a positive response.

Tripathi made way for the Supreme Court after the High Court dismissed his similar petition on 17 September by 2-1 majority and also inflicted an amount of Rs. 50,000 on him.

The three – judge bench pronounced its decision headed by S.H. Kapadia and comprising of Justice KS Radhakrishnan and Justice Aftab Alam, "Having considered in detail the arguments of the parties, we are of the view that the SLP has to be dismissed. Accordingly, the SLP stands dismissed" in a brief order.

G E Vahanvati, the Attorney General had previously stated that uncertainty should be discontinued.

He had appeared before this three – judge bench to state that the most preferred outcome to this title suit would be no doubt an amicable settlement but as that has not happened this kind of uncertainty that is existing should not be let to continue.

Hero Honda seems all set to cash in on the fantasy of the youth with the launch of its new Splendor Pro. Latest addition to the entry level motorcycle segment, this next generation version of its best selling product is expected to boost the sales as well as the market share of India's largest two wheeler manufacturer.

The time of the launch of the new Splendor Pro holds great significance to the company. Off late, its market share has been threatened by Bajaj Auto during the start of the fiscal year. The 100 cc segment that boasts of 73 percent of the total two wheeler sales, received a severe jolt as the sales went down from 82 percent to less than 70 per cent.

The rival's Discover had played an important role in diminishing Hero Honda's demand in the market. Therefore Honda chose to cash in on the festive mood of the upcoming season to fight back restore its superiority.

Anil Dua, senior vice president (marketing and sales), Hero Honda too expressed his confidence in capturing the market again.

Meanwhile, the new version has been launched under three forms- Splendor plus, NXG and Pro. They come with improvements in fuel economy, headlight and battery as well as a better engine. There is also a slight increase in the price as well. However, changes as a whole remain quite nominal.

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 02:47 AM PDT

AYODHYA

As per latest reports, the Supreme Court shall pronounce its decision on the petition for deferment of the verdict on the Ayodhya case at 2PM on Tuesday. This development occurred after Attorney General G E Vahanvati appealed to a three-judge special bench headed by Chief Justice S H Kapadia that uncertainty regarding the issue should come to an end.

The AG added that a settlement would have been the most apt solution but it has not taken place and the uncertainty should be prevented. He also defended arguments that the Government has not been pro-active in solving the dispute.

Meanwhile, the special bench reserved the decision for the specified time after a series of discussions with the various parties to the case. All the counsels with the exception of Nirmohi Akhara were against the deferment plea that argued the dispute be left to an out of court settlement since it was an emotional issue.

Mukul Rohatgi, counselor of petitioner Ramesh Chandra Tripathy argued that three of the judges belonging to the Lucknow bench also had advocated a mediated settlement before fixing September 24 as the deadline.

However, most of the parties disagreed with Tripathy's viewpoint and some even termed him as a 'non-serious party'. They argued that out of court settlement efforts have been tried several times in past but were met with failures.

Endhiran: Chennai & Andhra Fans Goes Crazy for Rajinikant, The Robot

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 02:07 AM PDT

Finally, the most expensive cinematic dream of Rajinikant along with Aishwarya is to hit the big screen on this October.

The movie is titled as Endhiran and the Hindi version is dubbed under the name of Robot. The movie is considered to be the most expensive project till now. The total cost of the movie is estimated around 160 crores, making it the most expensive movie venture.

The movie is filled with the most advanced and tech-savvy stunts and the idea of the movie is also very innovative. As the name suggests, Robot or Endhiran,  the plot revolves around the world of robots and human beings.

If we go by the promos of the movie, the flick looks too fresh and advanced and has already become a rage amongst the masses. Rajinikant’s last movie, Shivaji was a huge hit amongst the masses and was a major blockbuster in Andhra Pradesh and across the country. Rajinikant is surely loved by all his fans and revered too.

But at the same point of time, Rajinikant’s movie Robot would have to face stiff competition from the two movies which are releasing simultaneously. One is starring Mahesh Babu’s Khaleja and the second one is Junior NTR’s Brindavanam. So here, we see some sort of disruption in Robot’s popularity. Both these movies have set their budgets around 40 crores and would surely have good number audiences too.

“If they are very good films, this (Robot) will surely get hit because the Mahesh Babu and NTR films will have their own audience,” says producer Suresh Babu.

Since the last two years, the scenario of audiences and screen has not been so hot like this. Around 650 out of the 2500 cinemas in Andhra Pradesh saw shut shop.

Another problem which might be faced by Rajinikant’s movie is that it could be compared to the cult science fiction Harry Porter and the film series. Though, the two movies are quite different in the genres but still the ‘science fiction’ similarity might raise some sort of comparison.

But at this point of time, the movie is singing all hunky dory songs. The movie is opening around 2000 screens all across the country and the audiences are too ecstatic about the movie.

“I’m disappointed as I didn’t get tickets for first day first show.” one of the fans said.
