India Calling
Hi guys, I noticed every other forum has these synopsis and charecter sketches, but we have very few of them. And with the advent of so many of ur very talented ppl like preeti coming up with exact charecter analysations of the people on IC, I though its about time we had such a topic.
First look at the show.
"Set against the backdrop of a leading call center, India Calling is the story about Chandni, a young town girl from Jalandhar. She has an older sister - Manisha Kapur who is in Mumbai. Chandni stays with her beeji and parents Meera and Ranjit Kapur. It so happens that this simple, but confident girl lands up at Mumbai in search of her sister.
The fast pace of city life and the hep crowd are something new to her! Circumstances also force her to a job at India Calling, a leading call centre owned by Aditya. Aditya is the city slicker, the snob whose grandpa, Virender Khanna owns the call centre. He has an elder brother, Vishesh who is married to Kamini. The story then takes us through Chandni's life at India Calling and her relationship with Aditya.
There are also some key characters at the call centre like Prashant (team leader), Varun, Smitha, Kabir, Reshma, Namrata, 'Taxi' Patil (driver) and Tyson (the security head) who will spice up and give a realistic picture of the organization."
Current look at the show::
The show has gone from being the story about a small town girl coming to Mumbai to find her sister to the story of a spirited girl who comes from Jalandhar to Mumbai to not only reunite her family but also to unexpectadly finding love.
When chandni joined India calling as a means to support her family's stay in Mumbai, she had never imagined even in her wildest dreams that one day such will come when she will be the object of the affections of the wealthy and super handsome Aditya khanna. As time goes by, Aditya convinces Chandni of her intentions towards her, and in a maniac run through forests and call centre's Chandni also agree's that it is indeed Aditya who holds her heart.
Although in all this mess, she forgets one important thing. Her meddlesome Family. The Kapoor's are all about family values and importance of one's loyalty. Beeji who is Chandni's sole companion in Mumbai does the usual emotional drama and manages to Get Chandni to say to Adi that whatever they shared was all just a joke and mistake. Unknowingly hurting the only good thing happened to her, Chandni leaves Mumbai and returns to Jalandhar to wed the man her sister Manisha left behind- Dilawar.
Enter Tara who is also vying for Aditya's attentions and is super excitedly in love with Adi. But thanks to Shanty, Aditya's cousin, Adi rushes off to Jalandhar a.k.a DDLJ style to get his gal back.
Charecters::
Chandni Kapoor: Aged 20, she is traditional, determined, self reliant, bubbly, and righteous. She comes to India Calling in search of her missing sister, Manisha and falls in love with Aditya. Endears herself to people with her simplicity and her small-town innocence. She truly believes that its "cool to be an Indian".
Aditya Khanna: Aged 25, he is the rich spoilt brat who is dismissive, brash and aggressive, but has a heart of gold. Kamini encourages his wayward ways so that she can run India Calling her way. The most significant incident in his life is his heartbreak. He is passionate about photography, but it has taken a backseat at the moment
Kamini Khanna: The manipulative, sweetly sarcastic, ambitious and control freak who has married Vishesh for the 'Khanna' money. She pampers Aditya, so she can control him. She is also sweet to Vishesh, but 'love' has no meaning for her. She has taken over the household and runs the business, because Vishesh travels on business a lot.
Virender Khanna: The Govt. servant who has brought up Vishesh and Aditya after their parents died. He dislikes his bahu Kamini, who treats him disrespectfully when his grandchildren are not around. He realises that she has a stronghold on Aditya and is responsible for spoiling him rotten. Together with Beeji, he plays cupid between Aditya and Chandni.
Lajjoji (Beeji): Chandni's grandmother; traditional but worldly wise, has home remedies for every problem, instills Indian values in India Calling. Beware, beeji is also aware of global news and changing culture. Eternal romantic, she showers her fundas of love!
Even though thats the central charecters over time there have been many additions.
Dilawar:: The poor fellow who Manisha left at the alter, he's an ambitious fellow who claims that he loves Chandni, but as is being revealed in the latest episodes, does not.
Tara:: The Damsel who's still modern is the daughter od Vadhera a millionare. Initially shown as Aditya's bum chum pal who helps Adi understnad possibly chandni's mentality, she ends up falling for Adi and wants to get married.
Shanty:: The funny and adorable cousin of Adi's he tries to help out in Jalandhar but poor fellow, when something's gotta happen it does.
The original Song of India calling is Biba. The lyrics of which will be posted soon. If you wish to listen to the Biba song you can check it out at www.indya.com and listen to it online.
I want all IC members to contribute whatever data they can here, their opinions about a charecter or their behaviour, its all here.
