Janaki Viswanathan Rahul or Raj? Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil, Star Plus 8.30 p m It's set in Punjab so obviously there are sarson ke fields and flying chunnis. A bunch of girls enact a scene from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge for a home video. Lead girl delivers a passion-filled dia- logue only to be berated by the others for calling her beloved by the wrong name. "Shah Rukh Khan's name in DDLJ was Rahul!" they protest. Now, now wasn't it Raj? Date blues Shaurya teaser, Zee Muzic Bose and Rahul Minisha Laamba (the Yahaan curls are back), sweatered and shawled, go for long walks, slurp chai from saucers, hold hands and laugh. Later, Bose walks along a corridor in uni- form as the punchline, something about set- ting things right, flash- es on the screen. They are a unusual jodi. That's what makes it interesting. Strange bedfellows Kasamh Se, Zee TV 6 p m , The sulker par excellence in an orange kurta (that does nothing to brighten up his mood) enters his bedroom. He glares long and hard into space. A woman follows. Silence. He sits on the bed. He yanks at the covers, fluffs the pillows and lies down. Woman gives up and lies down on the couch. Sometime later, he turns to scowl at her back. Crash.. boom.. bang Thums Up ad Akshay Kumar cons a bimbette into going with him for a long drive. Actually, he's chasing a truck that's got his favourite cola. Smashing glass, screaming bim- bette, screeching four-wheeler in Khiladi style, Kumar finally gets his hands on the bottle. And lands up in hospital with fractured limbs. "I'm so glad you're safe," he cootchie coos.. to the bottle. Bimbette kicks him hard. Well-deserved. Death by video Soona soona music video, MTV Sonu Niigaam pours his heart out to Richa Pallod. But the four-stringed pearl necklace, bare chest, white robes and He- Man'ish locks makes it difficult to take this Romeo seriously. Even with all those women all over him, Jaan leva style, it doesn't work. janaki.viswanathan@hindustantimes.com
