Random thoughts

Hmm ... so AB has signed a new show on Imagine on the lines of Josh ... interesting. Pretty decent choice ... because among the zillion saas bahu shows on screen, this sounds like one which might actually have some scope for both the male leads, although he's doing the younger brother, Chandrachur Singh, not the older, which is the meatier role. but that one was pretty negative - forget the guy's name. SRK's role in the movie goes to Kapil - that's actually the bigger one, had more shades to it. The actress being unknown is a surprise - considering the original was Aishwarya and it was the bro-sis story which was the stronger one, the love story was pretty incidental. Even SRK's love story was pretty incidental - took me a while to even remember who his heroine was - Priya Gill, and she had nothing much to do, which Aish actually did. More to the point, this isn't a saas bahu show, it's more likely to appeal to the youth, which might be one reason for AB to sign it. Even though it's on Imagine. Anyway, to make this into a serial, I'm guessing there will be lots of changes in the original storyline ... might go closer to the West Side Story rather than Josh ... or veer off in completely different direction.
Also, seems that after LRL, in which AB aka Alekh didn't even have a heroine, and MJHT, where Mayank started off somewhat like Alekh, then turned lover boy and was pretty much destroyed, AB has decided to go back to a non-lover role ... the destruction of Mayank seems to have had an impact!

Still waiting for New Years and news of Monaya - considering they're off to Goa to bring in the New Year, doubt we'll get much news of any new show of theirs, individually or together, before that - though Mohit muust be pretty confident, taking off with San as soon as she arrives. He's obviously done all his networking after getting back from Delhi. Or maybe - eternal optimist - we'll get some news before they go off to Goa ... doubtful, though. Let's hope this New Years is as special for Monaya and Sajan fans as 2010 was - on 1st Jan we got a Sajan kiss that kept us going for over a week on one scene ... this year what if we get news of a new show ... sigh ... And Cinevistas is a good well established PH ... so all positives so far.
Although, looking at the state of the shows on Star One - 6 days a week ... I really wonder - should they take up a show on that channel? It can't be a single lead couple show on Star One with this format ... unless they have really good strong supporting cast, which knows it is supporting ... to sustain a 6 day a week show. One of the stupidest decisions taken by the channel ...


Another completely random thought ... if RP is such a brilliant actress, why do her fans feel the need to continuously spam the accounts and walls of ph's to get her a good show worthy of her talent? Won't she get it automatically? If she is such a great actress as well as being so popular, humble, down to earth, genuine ... I forget the rest of the accolades, but they were pretty much along these lines ... if she is all that, then the Ph's should be lining up anyway ...
Oh well ... Ratz and her fans don't interest me much ...
