Thumbs Up/ Thumbs Down : 16th - 22June 08

Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down - A weekly column in our News Hub - Telly Buzz that will give the latest twists and turns in the serials brought about to capture its' audience. A thumbs up is where the audience likes the track and a thumbs down is where it fails to meet the expectations...





Thumbs Up





Dill Mill Gayye:

The interns and all the doctors of Sanjeevini have a reason to celebrate. Everyone is at farmhouse participating in preparations of Dr.Shashank and Nurse Padma's wedding ceremony. There is also a new entrant who is smitten by Dr.Armaan and Dr.Riddhima is not liking it.. The wedding day is still few days away but Boys Vs Girl with some eye contacts and romantic breeze in the atmosphere is keeping all the viewers hooked....The show is going great and definitely a treat to watch!!

Baa Bahoo Aur Baby:

This show rules the weekends. The show has all the elements of fun, laughter and entertainment in true style. The arrival of Gudiya in the Thakkar household has brought Baa's principles in question and has started creating differences between the individual personalities. Nevertheless it has also shown Gudiya's affection towards one of the most adorable members of the family Gattu and Baby. All in all, it’s a classic example of mixing entertainment with a value and we wish this show lasts a long time as it has been a rare good show in today's entertainment quotient!!

Kuch Is Tarah:

This show, we accept, is a welcome change in the K-land. Why? Well, the show has really given enough modes of entertainment factors for us to enjoy. Last week, we finally saw that Pammi exposes Kanya in front of Ranbir, and he getting to know that Kanya is the only Natasha he was looking for so many days; it’s the same Kanya who plays this dual personality. What happens next is only to watch for, than to write down!! As of now, the show is holding its place tightly here!!

Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki:

Finally good deeds indeed turn up and emerge as a winner!! Last week it was a refreshing change to see that DP and Damayanti change from bad to good - all thanks to Pari's worship and determination. Manav does save DP after giving him blood in spite of his wrong doings, which was more than enough to melt the hearts of both DP and Damayanti, and happiness, is back in the house at last. The viewers rejoice and we welcome this show on this chart as it surely has managed to give moments to cherish!!

Hamari Devrani:

A story of five Jethanis who look forward to have a Choti Devrani i.e. Bhakti so that they can rule the house and make her do all the chores and treat her as their slave. The story sounds not only good but has been presented very well on screen too. Also the beneficent quotient lies in the innocence of the adorable couple Mohan & Bhakti. A bunch of newcomers make the show more interesting to watch and have been a welcome change on the television scenario after really a long time. We hope this show caters larger audiences in the afternoon slot.

Thumbs Down

Raja ki Aayegi Baarat:

Why all the shows make a promising start and then fail to cater the audience’s expectations? If somebody knows the answers, then do let us know. The story has already revealed the evil intentions of Choti Rani towards Badi Rani, and making attempts to kill her, and then frame Rani for the killing. Sounds heard, Right? Innumerable times, we have seen these stories revolving around us, but still we are getting exposed to these ideas every day which tests our patience to no end. If the creatives stick to the love story between Yudhister and Rani for sometime, we hope the show gets some audiences too!!

Solhah Singaar:

All's not well in Shagun's Life.. As she has got reports that she is suffering from a fatal disease, though Shikha knows the secret, Shagun is adamant to bring Shikha and her husband Sumer together..... Fans of this couple is not very pleased with the twist....................

Waqt Batayega – Kaun Apna Kaun Paraya:

This show still doesn’t find its nerve to catch with the audiences!! Right now the show is focusing on the fake Rudra, who is being planted by Rudra’s brothers and sister-in-law, to get hold of the property. It is amazing to see how the story line is brought to change after the main protagonists disappear giving a certain reason, though it happened too early for this show. Anyways, we just hope that in the coming weeks, the real Rudra steps in and the audiences can heave a sigh of relief for some time!!

Veeranwali:

Confusion, misunderstanding, heartbreaks follow this show’s track...The Main Protagonists have parted way and the female lead Simmi has got married to the person who apparently killed her Veerji and by mistake Simmi put the blame on her love Parmeet. The show is having a downfall and not able to catch attention of the viewers.......

Rakhi:

Again this show has got this spot...The  present track in the show  reminds one of  Chori Chori Chupke Chupke with a twist in the tale.. Troubles are not leaving Nandinni and Bhai Raja's life; on the contrary with each passing day troubles increase..... Makes one think, why do good people always suffer that too  this extent??....Its high time show gets some positive tracks to glue in the viewers.

Please note: There are lot of shows and to give a fair chance to all we try to cover all the shows alternatively! The views expressed are solely by the author.
