With monsoon seeming to drift out, hot afternoons are back. And what better than TV, to keep us entertained.
Here we are to share something really interesting that happened as we were surfing through channels today.
As soon as we landed on Colors, we were surprised to see Kapil Sharma with his troupe making us laugh. Yes, Comedy Nights with Kapil (CNWK) was airing on Colors.
To take our audience back in memory lane, Colors and Kapil had a fall out owing to creative and financial issues. Post which the stand up comedian moved out with his team and announced another project on Sony Entertainment Television.
As for Colors, it not only promoted and highlighted its competitive shows on the same genre (Comedy Nights Bachao and Comedy Nights Live); it also pulled down all CNWK videos from its Youtube channel. And this had hurt Kapil the most, as mentioned to us in an earlier interview.
And here it was with the same magic making people go crazy over the jokes. But voila, after a few moments it dawned upon us that Kapil was not back, what we were seeing was a rerun. The episode was a December 2014 one, wherein Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’s 1000 week was celebrated with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.
On checking with few sources we found out that the channel has been rerunning CNWK for a couple of weeks now on Sundays.
Some mentioned it was a way to maintain ratings on Sunday, while some informed us that it was a way to prove that the channel still holds reign of its every project.
Interestingly, Kapil’s new show, The Kapil Sharma Show was simultaneously airing on Sony TV.
Well, we wonder if Colors has decided to bury the hatchet and airing Kapil’s show is the signal of the dove carrying the olive branch. Or is it to be on the rat race that it decided to once again go back to CNWK for higher ratings.
Whatever be the case, our Sunday surely proved entertaining catching up on both shows.
We tried buzzing Kapil and the Colors representatives but did not receive any revert till the time of filing the story.
To end with, we are sure Kapil must be having the last laugh seeing that he still remains an audience puller for Colors.
