Rakhi sawant's Swayamwar smashes all time hit with best TRP so far

"6.3  " that was the Television rating point (TRP) that the show "‘Rakhi ka Swayamwar" a reality show featuring Bollywood starlet Rakhi Sawant, in which she chose her future husband. This TRP was the best so far recorded for any television soap. According to Audience Measurement and Analytics Pvt. Ltd Some 15.7 million people tuned into NDTV Imagine for watching this show.

NDTV people did really hard work to make this marriage look real in all sense and make it palatable for Hindi GEC audiences.Last recorded best TRP for any show was Twenty20 World Cup cricket final on 21 June, that brought in TRPs of 3.5 for its broadcaster ESPN Software India Pvt. Ltd’s Star Cricket channel.

“People were curious to find out what the show was about because the concept was new and this is what made them stay with us throughout the show,” said Sameer Nair, chief executive officer, NDTV Imagine.

In my opinion this show was senseless, Choosing a life partner on screen when you do not have much resource to know that whether the person standing as one of the contestants is fake or not. But whatever it was, people liked it. The new concept with some traditions, the kind of marriage which we usually read in books or in old Hindu stories, where a princess try out many man out of she will choose one, the best one. The show provided enough spice as well which can be easily served with an Indian dinner.

I guess Rakhi is taking a sensible decision to try Elesh first and if he s not the man then who knows, may be "Rakhi ka Swayamwar - season 2!!".May be this will fetch more audience then first.May be some more heart broken celebrities will try out this concept where they have not to spend even a penny for dating or marriage every thing would be arranged, by channel it self.

Any ways Rakhi is such kind of girl whom you can hate or you can love,but you can not ignore. I really wish Rakhi a happy and prosperous married life with of course Elesh Parujanwala.

Movie Review: Love Aaj Kal

Love Aaj Kal is a Bollywood movie starring Saif Ali Khan as Jai Vardhan Singh and Deepika Padhukone as Meera Pandit..This movie launches Saif Ali Khan as a debutant producer.The co-producer of the movie is Dinesh Vijan.Love Aaj Kal has been directed by the very vivacious director Imtiaz Ali who has earlier given Romantic comedies like Socha Na Tha(2005) and the blockbuster Jab We Met(2007).The music is given by the new age music director Pritam and lyrics are written by Irshad Kamil.

The story revolves around two timelines : the new generation couple Jai and Meera and the love story of the late sixties between Veer Singh(portrayed by Saif Ali Khan) and Harleen Kaur(portrayed by Giselle Monteiro).The former share a very casual relationship without any liability and get out of the relationship when they felt its hindering their career,whereas the latter share a very quite and intense relation which is very pious and they are ready to spend a lifetime or even more together as Veer Singh's dialogue shows:"is janam mein aur har janam mai yahi meri votti banegi...".The later age Veer Singh is played by Rishi Kapoor who keeps counselling Jai and tries to make him understand about true love by narrating his love story to him.At times the two analogous stories going simultaneously in the movie tend to confuse the audience. Especially in the first 15 minutes of the movie the storyline cannot be understood.But as the movie develops it shows a lucid storyline.You will be reminded of Hum Tum at certain places because of the two simultaneous running stories.The movie carries a self attained taste and should not be compared with the last two movies of Imtiaz Ali.The dialogues of the movie go well with the two generations shown in the film.There is a cameo appearance of Neetu Singh who plays later age Harleen Kaur.Rahul Khanna also has a small role playing Vikram(Meera's fiance).

The music of the movie is very diversified having party song like "Twist",an emotional number like "Ye Dooriyan" and Punjabi song like "Aaj Din chadeya".The music of the movie adds further spice to its storyline.

The movie has been shot in Red Fort and Purana Quila , and various places in Delhi apart from being shot in London,San Francisco and Kolkata.

The movie is a must watch atleast once and I would rate it 3.5 on a scale of 5.
