Batliwala House No. 43

Sony has launched a new show - Batliwala House No.42 based on the very popular british hit "Kumar's At No.42".

- The characters for these kind of show must be 'intelligent' actors who can provide their 'own input'.
- The characters in the show carry a single 'screen saver' like face - they do not offer variety
- The background laughs are added on punches - but the delivery from the actors doesn't match it
- In the original show Mira Syal and Sanjeev Bhaskar were the highlight - here we have nobody.
- The parents in original show followed a regular habitual behaviour of talking about same things - but due to their characterization and talent always added a spark. Here the father is a complete non-attracter and the mother has not matured till to be an actor, she belongs to the age of ham comedy.

Advice to SONY television :
- Comedy can only be delivered by actors who can add something of their own
- Comedy is very difficult - it needs intelligence and personality
- Intelligence - Anupam Kher, Govinda, Paresh Rawal & Pankaj Kapoor. Personality - Amitabh Bachchan & Sanjay Dutt.
- Comedy is very serious business
- Funny looking does not mean funny.

Prediction :
This show won't continue for long.

Option :
Koffee With Karan
- Why ? 'bcos Karan enjoys proximity with celebrities, he knows the entertainment industry and since he is one of the most successful producer and director in the industry - actors would like to please him and that gets the show something 'extra'. Karan is himself an intelligent person and he is not doing something comical, but he is tactful and keeps the show interesting. So even though nothing special happens on the show and you do not get to know the celebrity, still you find it good 'cos the packaging was good.

Kood Kews that's Good News

Sometimes back on Koffee with Karan I was delighted to hear from S. Menon, the astrologist that Kekta Kapoor will be successful in making K serials but she won't be able to apply the same kagic on the big screen (till some time)

Kill Khen , Ke Kar Kaved (Till Then We Are Saved)

Kya Thakele Hai Hum

* Kpeaking kf Kekta Kgain - Speaking of Ekta Again

Ekta kappor is not following Menon's advice and is producing the films. Her latest is "Kya Kool Hai Hum". I have seen the trailers on the TV and my god it has two deadliest combination - Ritesh Deshmukh & Tushar Kapoor. They are really kool man, (check the pic) actually the title would been more cooler - "Kya thakele hum".

Question: If there was a comepetion between Ritesh and Kapoor, who would be a able to move a fly seating on their nose with their facial expressions . Who would win ?
Answer : Fly :-)
