Armaan is back, will Riddhima stay with Sid?

After a super long wait, and just when we had accepted that Armaan won't return in Dill Mill Gayye, he comes back all set to meet her Riddhima. This happens exactly when after much complications, Sid and Riddhima decide to work on their relationship. I'm sure DMG's TRPs must have shot up. But now will Riddhima stay with Sid or will Rids and Armaan get back together? What do you think?

Anandi of Balika Vadhu is dead

The March 11 episode of Balika Vadhu just ended. The most frequently asked questions all this week by all those who follow television serials have been "Will Anandi die?" and "Is Anandi dead?" And to everyone's shock Anandi (real name Avika Gor, aka bindani in the serial) was declared dead by the doctor.

In the previous episode of Balika Vadhu, Anandi comes in front of her husband Jaggya (aka Jagdish) to save him as he's about to be shot. In the process, the bullet hits her right in the center of her forehead. What follows today is the super-extended result - Anandi being rushed to the hospital, her mother-in-law, dadisa, gehna and her parents being informed of her condition being critical and the doctors rubbing her palms and feet as the last hope to save her. Towards the end of the episode, the doctor declares Anandi dead.

Now we have to see:
1 - Whether in the next episode the story takes a twist - Anandi goes into coma and returns after her exams in real life (as per the rumor mills)
2 - Whether another little actress replaces Avika Gor as perhaps she has another exciting project in hand
3 - Whether the popular Colors serial comes to an end

As I always say, let's wait and watch!

Tarak Mehta Serial - Republic Day Special

I try to watch SAB TV's Tarak Mehta Ka Ulta Chashma regularly. It's one serial that's not just lighthearted but also spreads good values and subtly inculcates the feeling how unity leads to happiness. Tarak Mehta never misses out on any festival or topical subject. Every episode ends on a strong note teaching us something yet the serial makers manage to keep the episodes far from boredom. They have somehow managed to achieve a perfect balance.

So there was this Republic Day special episode on 27th January with Gokuldham society members keen to read their vaktavya on India and the children singing patriotic song. Can't wait to watch the next episode!

Are Armaan and Riddhima getting back together?

I was a regular follower of Dill Mill Gayye. I remember how in all my SEO, SMO presentations to my content team I used to give the example of DMG. But that was until quite a few months back. With Armaan and Rids suddenly disappearing from the Star One serial, the show has become rather uninteresting. But yesterday's episode (26th January 2010) might have increased the TRP of the show.

With Riddhima confronting her father Dr Shashank and with Armaan's secret being unveiled, DMG made a good move. I would really want to watch if Riddhima could manage to find Armaan now. And I presume Dill Mill Gayye will attract its lost audiences for at least some more time now. As I always say, let's wait and watch.

Love Ne Milla Di Typical Kahaani

How I loved the Star One serial Love Ne Milla Di Jodi and used to refer it to all I know! But off late the show makers have added these three new characters, typical of the typical kinda serials I don't like to watch. So now there is this Masi (aunt) and two cousins who are ruining the happiness of the Saxena brothers, Gujral sisters and the audiences.

Where's all the class and style of the serial disappeared? Now there's this poisoning, badla, jealousy, trying-to-divide-the-family and all. I just hope they send these characters back and make the show as atypical as it was before. C'mon there has been too much sorrow in Love Ne Milla Di Jodi all this while.
