AB and BD Turn Brothers Grimm!...by DL
BT caught this exclusive news about ABji's new marketing gimmick to promote KTKP among children. He feels that what would appeal to the younger generation is the element of fantasy that is so beautifully woven into the storyline of KTKP and will be stressed on more to cater to these small (in size, not number) but discerning bunch of viewers. In view of this he and director BDji are launching a book of fairy tales based on this show, KTKP: Fairy Tales retold.
Our reporter, DL was invited to the book launch at a popular book store, GrossWord, and she caught BDji reading excerpts from two stories in this amazing book of fairy tales. Needless to say, our bacchas were engrossed and enthralled!!!
Soon KTKP will report a phenomenal rise in TRPs thanks to an all-new section of tiny viewers set to join the bandwagon of nut cases already watching this show!
Here's a small soundbite from AB:
Dekh.. Apunke bheja mein na solid idea aayela hai..abhi kya hai Tv ka remote baacheloke haath mein hi rehta hai. Ma Baap ko woeech dekhna padta hai jo bacchalok dekhta hai! Isliye apun na ye story ko bhi aisaeech kiyela hai... Abhi dekhna kaisa TRP ekdum jhakaas ho jayega!!
Here are the excerpts from two most popular tales among children...
KTKP's The prince frog
Once upon a time, there was a princess named Munni...
She always had her head in the clouds, dreaming about a Handsome prince that she would marry one day. She wished and wished for her Hero and one day she found him gazing at files in a Kebin!
She fell head over heels in love and so did Prince Handsome. Munni loved her Prince so much that she lavished him with gifts, that included a jazzy T-shirt, a funky tie, some hair colour, and even reading glasses for his failing eyesight.
But poor Munni was unaware of Prince Handsome's sordid past!
Munni was so much in love with PH, and wanted to get close to him, but PH always kept at a distance of 5 ft away from her
Munni was puzzled, but she never probed him about this. On Valentine's day, PH finally got Munni a gift, a heart-shaped pendant. Now was the perfect opportunity for Munni to fulfil her dream of touching her Prince... She cleverly asked Handsome to put the pendant around her neck. PH was flummoxed. He could not refuse, but at the same time he was very much afraid of the consequences of coming close to Munni, his harsh and terrible secret that he was hiding from Munni all this time would be revealed!
Flashback: Long, long ago...exactly 12 years ago, there lived a wicked witch named Vampu. She fell in love with Prince Handsome, but PH did not love her back! That made Vampu very angry...she pined and pined for him, but PH did not relent. Vampu then cursed him terribly... "You don't love me...so I will make sure you can never be with the one you love! I curse you that you will always have to be at a distance of 5 ft from your beloved. If you come closer to her or try to touch her... There will be a puff of smoke, and a Zapp and a zing...and your DNA will be compressed, your genetic pool will be altered and you will turn into an ugly, croaking, Green and eco-friendly FROG!!!"
Now PH is in a quandary! What should he do? If he refuses to put the pendant around her, Munni will be offended! And if he does, Vampu's curse will take effect. How will Munni ever agree to marry a FROG? How will Prince Handsome overcome his frightful predicament? To find out read.. KTKP's Fairy tales retold...The Prince Frog..
KTKP 's Cinderella Man
Once upon a time there was a poor 42 year old man called Cinderella Man or simply CM. He was made to work hard day and night reading files, imprisoned in a dark and dreary Kebin, wearing ridiculously stuffy suits that smothered him! His wicked stepmother Vampu ensured that he never got out of the Kebin and spent all his time with only her... This Vampu stepmother had an Oedipus complex also and he had to relate every single incident that happened in his life faithfully to her without omitting a single detail. Vampu stepmother had him totally under her control. He was like a pussycat in her hands.
But she could not control him falling in love with the beautiful princess, Munni.
One day he heard that a Valentine day bash was in town and poor CM wanted to go on a date with Munni! But Vampu maa was having none of it! She laughed wickedly like a witch at his childishness!
His fairy godfather, Armaan, however advised him to go..and transformed him into a sexy, suave, droolworthy, swoonsome prince in a dashing White suit and jeans..and he also carried a heart shaped pendant that he would put around the neck of his own true love!!
This made Vampu maa very angry and she put a curse on this transformed CM...
The minute Munni tried to get close to him or asked him to say anything romantic, his tongue would get tied and instead of coming close to Munni he would run away!
On the day of the Valentine date, Munni was understandably weak-kneed when she saw him, so much so that she invited him to a cosy private corner in the hope that they would touch and kiss!!
But Vampu maa's Curse came into effect.. And when the lights went out and Munni asked CM to say something, he went all D'uh, 🤪 his Tongue got tied up and instead of saying "I love you", he said that he should be leaving, making Munni fret and fume with frustration!
How will CM and Munni overcome Vampu's curse? How will Munni ever get a kiss from CM?
