Farhan Akhtar On Indian Idol Junior to Promotes BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG 

Farhan Akhtar, one has to expect surprises galore! This was apparent when he made a stopover on the sets of Sony Entertainment Television's popular singing reality show Indian Idol Junior to promote his upcoming flick Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and gave everyone a 'milky' break!

Farhan Akhtar made an appearance along with director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra on the show and was seen at his funny best. Be it pulling Judge Shekhar, Shreya or Vishal's leg or tickling show host Karan Wahi's funny bone, he did it all! But the icing on the cake was his spontaneous milky jig, in store for Indian Idol Junior singing sensations, judges and hosts - Karan and Mandira.

Director Omprakash Mehra let know all contestants about Milkha Singh's life struggle and the fact that he loved drinking milk. And that was it! To everyone's surprise, Farhan called for a doodhwala bhaiyya with a huge milk container in order to feed milk to all.

The connect was Milkha Singh's intense fondness for milk. Show judge Shreya however turned him down by declining to guzzle it. She was heard saying "I hate drinking milk. I have only drunk milk once in my childhood."

That's not all, show host Karan Wahi couldn't help but taking the entire container to where Farhan was seated and requesting the spot boys for a straw so that Farhan can drink it all.

And if you thought the fun ended here, Farhan captivated all by putting his dancing shoes on and tapping on the song Zinda from one of his flicks only to be joined by a contestant Eman Choudhury who danced with him on another song.

Overwhelmed by the talent of Indian Idol Junior Farhan, in fact, tweeted about his experience with the kids and said "What a treat the Indian Idol juniors are...Pure talent. So lucky to have heard them live. Best wishes to them all."

Looks like after Salman Khan Idol Juniors have found another fan in Farhan Akhtar.

Catch the fun with Farhan Akhtar only on Indian Idol Junior on Sunday June 30, 8.30pm only on Sony Entertainment Television

Salman Khan Salutes the talent on Indian Idol Junior

It's not every day that you see Bollywood stars go ga ga over someone but few junior singers are being noticed!

Sony Entertainment Television's recently launched music reality show Indian Idol Junior is not only receiving accolades from viewers but from Bollywood bigwigs too. These sparkling tuneful juniors have found a new fan in none other than the Dabangg Khan.

The Bollywood actress opens up about life, relationships and more during the promotions of the coming-of-age drama Relationships and family values hold great importance to Indians. Indian audiences relate easily to shows that depict such values. The very talented and popular Bollywood actress Preity Zinta will now be the face of one such show - BIG CBS LOVE's American drama series 'Summerland'.

Preity Zinta, who has often portrayed the role of a young urban woman grounded by strong family values turned out to be the perfect choice to represent a show which follows the lives of Ava Gregory (Lori Loughlin) an upcoming fashion designer, her housemates and her niece and nephew.

Talking about her association with the show Preity says, “Summerland is a heartwarming show about people learning to cope with living together when life-changing events start to mould their lives differently. It is something that could happen to any of us and in fact does happen… every new relationship sees new beginnings, new adjustments, new challenges… Its only when life takes a U turn you come of age…The beauty of life is how to overcome the small challenges and make life more meaningful in the given circumstances. It’s a story that any of us can identify with and am sure will make for excellent viewing!”

Don’t miss Summerland, premiering on May 27, 2013, Monday to Thursday at 10 PM exclusively on BIG CBS LOVE

Sony Entertainment Television Asia has confirmed the launch of its music talent show ‘Indian Idol Junior’.

‘Indian Idol Junior’ will be similar to its flagship ‘Indian Idol’ format, however only children will be vying for the winning title.

The three judges who will front the show are Vishal Shekhar and Shreya Ghoshal. Mandira Bedi and Karan Wahi will host the programme. Wahi has recently just completed his stint as host of Star Plus’ popular show ‘Nach Baliye 5′.

‘Indian Idol Junior’ will take the Saturday and Sunday 20:30 slot from 1st June.

After presenting India with some of the most talented and loved voices, the popular singing talent show that has captured the imagination of the nation – Indian Idol – is back – with a twist. For the first time, Indian Idol will have children aged between 5 – 15 years participating in the singing talent competition to become India’s first ever Indian Idol Junior. The show that has carved a niche for itself as the biggest singing talent show in India, will open its doors to young singers as Indian Idol Junior begins on its mission to find the best junior singing talent in the country.

Speaking about the brand new season and adding a fresh perspective to it, Leo Burnett Mumbai, the agency for Sony Entertainment Television, has conceptualised the campaign ‘Gaano ka wahi jaadu, ab bachchon ki awaaz mein’. The thought is delivered in its true characteristic style. The campaign consists of four commercials which showcase iconic songs like ‘Tujhe dekha toh yeh jaana sanam’, ‘Ai meri zohara jabeen’, ‘Yaadon ki baarat’ and ‘Radha on the dance floor’, recreated exactly like the original but performed by children.

The idea brings out what the viewers will expect from Indian Idol Junior this season – a complete fun and entertainment show portraying the talents of children who have voices as good as the ones in songs that all of us have enjoyed listening for so many years.

Anupriya Shetty, Brand Partner, Leo Burnett, said, “While Indian Idol has always been about showcasing great singing talent, our challenge this year with Indian Idol Junior was how to get people of all generations sample the show. Therefore, the idea we conceptualised tackled the challenge beautifully with our selection of songs which appeal to all generations.”

Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Executive Creative Director, Leo Burnett, added, “We wanted to do something unpredictable, and since it was Indian Idol Junior this year, we were sure that it had to be enjoyable and should not take the focus from the main message of it being a singing show by children who are great at singing and are here to showcase their talent.”

The campaign has been executed by Director Sanjay Shetty and his team at Opticus Inc. who have painstakingly shot all the four TVCs keeping in mind not to lose the essence of the original songs, and yet create magic with children.

Gaurav Seth, Senior VP and Marketing Head, SET, said, “Indian Idol has been an exceptionally popular show and a successful format for Sony. After the huge success of Indian Idol 6 last year, we wanted to give the show a fresh standpoint as well as to discover newer talent horizons. Hence we have come up with Indian Idol Junior. Our campaign idea ‘Gaano ka wahi jaadoo, ab bachchon ki awaaz mein’ beautifully captures how music, which plays such a strong role in our lives, will now be showcased in the voices of our younger but hugely talented contestants.”

Seth further said, “The TVCs were designed to break clutter in an extremely crowded television space. The idea of transplanting kids into iconic film song sequences, created by Leo Burnett, has worked magically. The surprise, when the lead protagonist is discovered to be a child in the sequence, has endeared the spots among all our viewers and we hope this provides the desired impact to drive audiences in droves to our show.”

For the sixth season of reality dance show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6, the contestants have now been finalised. Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6 will go on air on June 1 on Colors.

The show's promo has not been shot a studio. Rather, it's in a very unusual location -- a fort, 60 km from Mumbai. The fort has been part of many films like Wanted, Josh, Kambakt Ishq and Khamoshi.

Below is the list of contestants, who will be a part of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 6.

Shweta Tiwari

Shweta Tiwari is one of the well known television as well as Indian film actress. Shweta Tiwari, the popular TV actress and former Big Boss winner, is also known to be a very good dancer. The audience will love to watch her dance and groove. She is currently doing her show Parvarish Kuchh Khatti Kuchh Meethi.
From television to films to theatre, this super mom has proved her talent with her versatility.

Dhrasti Dhami

Drashti Dhami is a famous Indian television actress and model, Currently seen playing Madhubala in Colors tv popular show Madhubala Ek Ishq Ek Junoon. Sources that, the upcoming Jhalak Dikhla Jaa season 6, may see actress Drashti Dhami, the makers are trying their best to rope in popular faces from television.

Lauren Gottlieb

Lauren Gottlieb, who gained fame via swaying her sexy hips in the movie ABCD, is believed to have been signed as one of the contestants in the upcoming season of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa season 6. "She is a contestant and in most probability will pair opposite Salman Yusuff Khan," said a source. Salman is a known Jhalak face and incidentally has acted opposite Lauren in ABCD. When we called up Salman to learn more on the development, he confirmed being a part of Jhalak’s upcoming season but had no idea on Lauren being a part of the show or not. American actress-dancer Lauren was a contestant in the US reality dance show So You Think You Can Dance. She also played one of the leads in India's first 3D dance film, ABCD (Any Body Can Dance), directed by Remo D'Souza.

Shantanu Mukherjee (Playbacksinger)

The producers of Bigg Boss have approached Mithun Chakraborty to host the Bengali version of the reality show. Just a few days back, they had signed Riteish Desmukh for the Marathi version. When media got in touch with Mithun, he confirmed that he has had a meeting with Endemol, the producers of the show. However, he is yet to finalise the deal. “This is true that we have been in talks about hosting the Bengali Bigg Boss. They had called even today. I will give my final answer on Monday,” Mithun told Media through a sms.

We’ve come to the second last episode of possibly the last season of Roadies. Sad. But still not confirmed.

Finally the day has arrived. I figured it would be a short season this year but this short!? Kind of relieved to see a great, eventful journey coming to an end but also bitter to say goodbye to my most anticipated show of all times. I will miss you Roadies X. We’ll meet, until next year!



Tawang Bazaar Task
This is the only type of task Roadies was missing. Apart from some really good mind games that we haven’t seen this season, the shopping task is what I was waiting for. The whole thing was very simplistic but I have a few issues about the timings. I don’t think there’s a possible way to make this task fair. I also believe that Raghu’s team needed another elimination in order for the finale to be symmetrical.
There’s just no possible way to determine if the shops were equidistant from where the teams started and whether Raghu’s team had to walk more to reach them or Ranvijay’s. I don’t like saying this but I still believe it was biased towards Ranvijay’s team to keep 4 people in the team.
Similar situation occured when Ramandeep was forced to give up her bike and save her team which laid balanced grounds for the team swap. Team swap could never have occurred with disbalanced team memebers.



Ramandeep’s Immunity
This was also a very sensitive issue that I think was pre-delivered. They knew that Ramandeep was going to be discarded, they knew that if she was the only one left non-immune, she’d be directly voted out. How convenient to immune the person who was discarded.
I do not, in any way, think this is wrong by the way because the creators know where the show is headed with the consequent dynamics and they have to try their best in order to save it from going down the drain.
Palak’s Luck
Season 6 finale, Kiri cutting Palak’s rope to take Nauman one for the finale. A task in which no girl could have competed in against a guy. Kiri’s decision resulted in Palak not getting the chance to do the task but it also got her eliminated from the game. How convenient! The similar situation mimics here. Palak’s saved and not allowed to go on and perform the task BUT THIS TIME, SHE IS PERMITTED IN THE FINALE INSTEAD OF BEING ELIMINATED. Is this Raghu’s way of balancing things up for what he did back in season 6?
Surprisingly, Kiri and Harri, both the guys who prevented her from doing the pulley task, gave the same frikkin reason (achay competition say compete karna chahta hun) MY ARSE!
The Battle Task


They didnt mention the weights they used in both the pulleys and that is wrong. If they used the same weights, it’s unfair because mohit has a higher body weight than Harri and there’s no way he could have defeated him with the same amount of mass dangling from his chains.
Without a doubt, Mohit and Palak were allowed to continue.
Overall
Didn’t like the episode. Too predictable and too meddled with to set stage for a perfect finale. 6/10
What to expect in the finale
Lots of fight and people saying that “*insert name here* doesn’t deserve to be in the finale”
Possible wild card entries, possibly 2 contestants. (?)
Ramandeep teaming up with Anirudh (?)
Gaurav beating the hell out of Anirudh (since Gaurav has been given constant chances to prove himself by designing a task that lies in his comfort zone ; remember the first task)
Anirudh still winning because Sonal/Ramandeep will beat the other at chess (?)
