Thumbs Up and Down: 25th June-1st July

 Maayka has kept the viewers at edge and is doing wonderful. With the new twist that Mahi’s entire family dead, viewers are wondering what’s next. Seems the new production house has gathered all the attention it wanted.  Laughter Show has finally managed to bring smile on the sulking face of Himesh. This week’s episode is a must watch has it has non stop entertainment with Himesh seen laughing. One wonders if the smile on Himesh’s face is due to his current Box Office success.  Great Singing, high Emotions, Controversies rules Sa Re Ga Ma Pa this week. Good selection of singers for Brahmastra Round by Hit –It Gharana. Guest Appearance by Sunny Deol brought in Punjab Flavour in singing. But Aditya Narayan stole the show with an unexpected kiss. Whether that was TRP gimmick or not it definately made us smile.  Parivar seems to be action packed this week as finally a new lawyer and new character Indira comes to Radha’s rescue. It will be great to see Indira tearing Pranay apart through her questions in the court.  Some serials can be watched time and again. Jassi Jaise Koi Nahi is one such serial whose rerun is also very popular. Viewers are hooked to see our plain Jane Jassi falling in love with dashing Armaan.  The show that was pioneer in bringing Lord Krishna to forefront in family drama is now lacking luster. With the main lead Bhoomika and Arjun out of the show , someone needs to tell the creative heads and Channel people to pleae move on and end this show.  Thodi Khushi Thode Gaam is still stuck on Babuji’s identity crisis. Elder brother Amar seems to be a blacksheep of the family. How come detective Sneha and her gang is unable to solve this mystery for so long? Should we send James Bond to solve the mystery in Shah House?  Double Role Syndrome has bitten Durgesh Nandini also. Suddenly, we see that Durgesh has got an evil twin sister Subhanghi who wants to take away all the money and property of Srivastav House. Its rightly said that every heroine has the vamp side to her.  Kassam Se seems to reach a deadlock and is going no where. Bani wants to take revenge from Jai, jai wants Bani happy, Pia wants Bani to be out of Walia House. Aparajit wants Bani back in his life.. Rano and Ranveer likes each other but the wife is back. Uff too much confusion.. I think we viewers will have to go to mental asylum now.  A big boo to Sony Channel in general who is planning to axe its good shows as is not generating high TRP’s and money for the channel. Shows like Viruddh, Kajjal and others might soon go off air but Ek Ladki Anjani will still stay. Wonder why is Sony Anjana towards that serial.
