A new soap on the shelf
Kayamath, the replacement to the late night Balaji saga Kahiin To Hoga, started this week on Star Plus. Ekta Kapoor's new heroine Panchi Bora doesn't have much to do in this Mills and Boon version, where she plays daddy's little girl and an overgrown little boy's best friend. The inaugural episode spent the first 15 minutes on a Ganesh procession, accompanied by raucous aartis in the background, just to portray the scene of the little girl getting kidnapped. When will the channels' obsession with deities and idol worship end?
