Random Musings

Prompted by my younger brother, I have finally hit the blog button, and here I am, putting up my first post.

Not knowing what my topics will be each time, I have named the blog “Random Musings”, which in other words, gives me the right to go anywhere I please.

Like how glad I am that they have Tusshar Kapoor in the lead role in the Gaayab. I understand that its a film about an invisible man, and our man, Tusshar plays that lead role. The less we see him on screen the better..!

And I would believe that he gets his acting skills as a heritage from his father, Jeetendra. The father could not act and neither can the son.

I cannot forget the master film reviewer, Khalid Mohammed’s comment about Jeetendra in one of his reviews, where he said, “Jeetendra delivers dialogues like a postman delivers letters”!!

Having said what I said about their acting talents, I must take my hats off to their business acumen. What a great success they have with Balaji Telefilms. Whether we like it or not, their serials have got people glued to the idiot box. Ekta Kapoor has figured out what today’s market needs and she is delivering it unfailingly, one serial after another. These are not the times when a Hum Log or a Buniyad, or even a Ramayana or a Mahabharat would work. I guess the market today wants the KKusums and the Kyunkis, and she delivers them! Unilke the erstwhile predecessors (Hum Log, Buniyad, etc.), Ekta fights in a much more competitive world, where viewers have choice of 85 channels, and at least 4 other channels where similar programming can be found. And yet she notches up the top TRPs, week after week..

So much for now.. not in my wildest dreams would I have believed that my first blog would be about Jeetendra and his family members.. 🙂

Watch out for more.. !
