Phoren shows get desi twist

Compiled by Sonali Joshi/Hill Road Media

It is not just the Hindi film industry that likes to nick creative concepts from its foreign counterparts. The television industry too has its fair share of copycat shows that have aired or are due to air, promising viewers 'fresh' material. Here is a look.



Bhaskar Bharti

The recently launched and much talked about show is an adaptation of a hit Argentine comedy show Lalola that aired in 2007. It was the story of a womaniser who works in a media company. He ditches one of his girlfriends only to be cursed by her. Then, he is transformed into a woman.

Bhaskar Bharti, which premiered on Sony TV in the last week of May this year, has Eijaz Khan essaying the role of Bhaskar, while Ragini Khanna plays the female version of Bharti.

I believe this idea was presented earlier in a 2005 Hindi movie called Mr ya Miss which had Antra mali in lead role so all this time I was just thinking that Bhaskar Bharti must have been "inspired" by this movie...

Mr Ya Miss is inspired from the movie Switch.
