Every festival or celebration inevitably sees young TV starlets take centre stage and perform the ubiquitous latka and jhatkas to the latest item songs but when the mothers- in- law decide to steal a march over their bahus and put on a jig of their own is when a TV show becomes really interesting. In a double whammy episode that celebrates Holi as well as the marriage of 'Hitler Didi' Indira (played by Rati Pandey) and Rishi (played bySumit Vats), there is every element of a smashing episode - naach, gaana and lots of Chandni Chowk ishtyle drama with actors from all the channel's primetime shows joining Indira and Rishi in their celebration.
Indira's sangeet is where the "showdown of the saas" takes place. With the boy's and girl's families taking each other on in a "fulltoo takkar", it comes down to the formidable mothers- in- law to fight the last battle. Kratika Desaitake on the grand old lady of TV Usha Nadkarni in a Chikni Chameli vs. the original Marathi number of Kombdi Palali. While Krutika oozed her natural oomph and infused it into her every move and expression, Ushaji was in her element with her signature moves and unmatched expressions.
Of-course, keeping everyone on their feet was the enthusiastic, energetic choreographer Pappu who is known for his knack of keeping all the dancers energy levels sky high. As he constantly hollered 'jala do' or 'hila do set' which are meant to serve as pep talk to the dancers, Ushaji had her tongue firmly in her cheek when she replied, "mujhe stage jala daalne kehte ho, par koi maachis deta hi nahi." Ushaji, you are too cute. We like your blazing spirit and think that you are doubtlessly the Queen of Spunk on Indian Television.
The Holi special sees all of Zee TV's leading actors celebrate Holi in Chandni Chowk - Delhi with timeless Kailash Kher making an appearance to belt out two of his tracks from his latest album. Watch as Gurmeet and Kratika steam up Holi in a sensuous sequence while Rati and Sumit show off the funny side to their love story. Then Avinash and Rubina and Karan and Suhasi enact the two very different eras of Holi celebrations with a mythological and modern depiction of Holi. Don't miss the bachelor's party that the male hotties of the channel threw for the onscreen groom-to-be. While the women let their hair down and shook a leg at the bride's sangeet.
Zee TV will air Hitler Didi Holi special episode on Friday, March 9, 2012 at 8 PM.
