Time Bomb’ presumed ending!

A sarcastic and witty look at the day's TV news

YOU'LL BE SARI: Variety reports that Fox is suing an Indian production house for ripping off its hit espionage series 24, right down to the ticking clock. Fox alleges that Time Bomb, produced by Zee Telefilms, is an outright copy of their show, but failed to convince a Delhi high court judge to delay its premiere last Sunday.

Time Bomb is a political thriller set in South Asia, where Varun Avasthi, an agent in a special counterterrorism unit, has 60 real-time minutes each week to prevent the assassination of a "young and dynamic" Indian prime minister, according to the description in the Times of Calcutta. Oddly enough, the first season will be 24 episodes long, though a Zee spokesman says the similarities are "coincidences."

The similarities end, however, with a scene where Avasthi has to defuse a nuclear "dirty bomb" at a wedding, while dancing in a vast, candle-filled fountain with two hundred costumed bridesmaids and groomsmen in a torrent of saffron flower petals, ringed by tabla players riding painted elephants.

This article was in www.metronews.com . As you can guess from the title, the article is by an Amercan author and sarcastic. But since Zee had submitted its tapes before the court regarding the 24 fiasco, maybe the ending might have leaked out? Although I didn't know if they had completed the shooting of all the episodes by then. Just thought you all would like reading it.

PS: Don't you think the ending given would be cool although its a bit filmy? I was hoping that the last episode should be something grand. The 'bomb at a shadi' seems quite nice to me.

ya niki...i also think that end is going grand...becoz of 24 hours series...
ya niki you write great review in Mouthshut.com i like it...

The ending though a tad bit filmy is quite good.Thanks for the article.

You're welcome everyone.
Thanks princess for liking my review, joined mouthshut a year ago for writing a review on KTh, am hooked to it since then.

yea end is going to be osoum

India's ripped off so many movies! Hasn't anyone noticed those as well?! 😆

the ending would b grand. as good as its start.
do u think there will b more that 24 episopes. or 24th will be the lastone

The ending will be mindblowing 😛 😉 😆

thanx for the article...but i wish time bomb don't end because there is no other serial that i can see rajeev bhaiya....but agree the ending will be mind-blowing because of the stunts rajeev bhaiya will do

I think there will be 25 episodes, bcoz as we all are accistomed to seeing in TV and films, the bomb will be set for 12 pm and diffused at the last moment.
And then the 24th episode will end.
And in the 25 th episode, Usmaan will be killed by Varun and we will get a happy ending for everyone including Roma and Varun. (their relationship has to be also sorted).
