The
wait has been really long but it will come
to an end soon. Come this March,
viewers will finally get to see some ‘REAL’
TV. So claim the custodians of newest GEC
in town. So for the moment, all eyes will
be on this new GEC, which today unveiled
three of its shows – Poker Face, Vicky
Ki Taxi and Hindi Hai Hum.
Produced by Miditech, Poker Face
is an internationally acclaimed game show
and it now reaches Indian shores. A participant
can walk away with Rs.1.crore in just seven
days. For the first time in a quiz show,
it does not matter how many answers you
get right, you can still be in with a chance
of winning the jackpot of Rs. 1 crore if
you can keep a Poker Face. As reported
earlier, Poker Face will be hosted
by Bollywood actor Sharman
Joshi. The show will air seven
days a week.
Poker
Face may be new to India but Indian
viewers have got a taste of a similar concept
in the popular show Bluffmaster which
was aired on Star One.
Speaking on his new role, Sharman says,
“I am absolutely delighted to be hosting
Poker Face. In this show, it is the
contestant who takes the centre-stage and
my role is to put them at ease and help
them navigate the game. What is unique and
attractive about this show is the fact that
it brings out extraordinary capabilities
of ordinary people like you and me.”
Vicky
Ki Taxi is another show that we reported
about. Pawan
Shankar marks his return to TV
with this hour long weekly show. It is a
show where unusual stories unfold in the
unique setting of a taxi lovingly called
‘Jaaneman’, with taxi driver Vicky
playing the role of the reluctant messiah.
Through Vicky the viewer gets a glimpse
into the lives of these ordinary people
with extraordinary stories.
The third show that was unveiled is Swastik
Pictures’ Hindi Hai Hum. This is
a heart warming story of Bubbly, the innocent
yet confident tourist guide from Nahaan,
a small town in Uttaranchal. Spurned by
a suitor who wanted an English speaking
bride, the story traces Bubbly’s journey
to Mumbai to learn English. Bubbly is played
by rookie actor Ridhi Dogra.
