Jodee Kamaal Ki piggybacks on Nach Baliye fervour | |
If you caught celeb TV couples straigten out their left feet on Star One's Nach Baliye, get ready for some more intimate talk from them on the inaugural episode of Star Plus' Jodee Kamaal Ki. The celebrity game show that replaces the aborted Kaun Banega Crorepati II from 4 March, will have Rajeshwari and Varun Badola, Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi and Poonam and Manish Goyal pitting their wits rather than their dancing skills, against each other. Other couples scheduled to appear on the show include some Nach Baliye couples like Maninee and Mihir Misra and some others like Pooja Rawal and her husband, on epiosdes that will air in following weeks. A creation of Creative Eye, thus far known for making mythological shows and then some, like Miilee, Jodee Kamaal Ki is almost an extension of Nach Baliye, and coincidentally (?) shares the same director. Termed a 'distinctive celebrity game show based on the universal theme of love, companionship and understanding', JKK will test the strength of relationships as well as the compatibility levels of couples. Rakshanda Khan, who will anchor the show, will be tricked out in an Indo western wardrobe specially designed by Sheetal Design Studio. Celeb participants who have been on the show, are ecstatic about the elaborate sets put up at Mehboob Studios in Bandra in suburban Mumbai, where the show is shot. Both Maninee and Pooja insist that they had a great time 'discovering themselves' on the show that's just a faint recall of an old TV show that used to be anchored by Jalal Agha. If JKK inspires as much fervour as Nach Baliye and be as big a draw as KBC 2, Star Plus should have a winner on its hands. |
