Host: Rajeev Khandelwal

Sach Ka Saamna offers a mirror to the deteriorating moral and social fibre of our country and the values we prideourselves on. As the host, Rajeev Khandelwal has an unobtrusive way of talking to the contestants through the show
Rajeev Khandelwal is back to making others wash their dirty linen on national television. Truth is stranger than fiction they say and the contestants who appear on Sach Ka Saamna confess to a life of lies and deceit. This season is inspired by Anna Hazare, as the makers have taken upon themselves to fight against corruption. So you have contestants pledging to say the truth and come clean on all that they have done wrong.
At the time of
writing, we saw two contestants β one, a
lawyer-activist-small-time-politician from Hasanpur and another, an
insurance agent β digging their grave as they answered questions
ranging from petty misbehaviour (hiding girlfriends in hostel room) to
being seriously involved in forgery, theft, scams etc. The insurance
agent had an illegitimate affair and had even sired a child outside
marriage.
As for the game, contestants have to answer 21 questions with the polygraph machine recording their answers. The prize money is ' 1 crore that has been split into three phases. Clearing the first and second phases assures them of taking home a minimum of '2 lakh and '10 lakh respectively. The game is over when the polygraph contradicts the contestants' replies.
While we are not sure, how the show helps the country to get rid of corruption, it's money that makes them spill the beans. We wonder how many of them would happily sit on national television and bare their secrets if there was no booty to win! We are not sure if these paragons of truth will go back to leading 'clean' lives once the camera switches off!
However, Sach Ka
Saamna offers a mirror to the deteriorating moral and social fibre of
our country and the values we pride ourselves on. As for the
contestants, they justify all their misdeeds and blame it on the
circumstances. Rajeev Khandelwal as the host is not only good looking
and easy on the eye, but he also has an unobtrusive way of talking to
the contestants through the show. He asks them pointed questions,
demands some serious explanations and doesn't judge them even once.
He's definitely one big reason you come back to the show every night
and of course, end up asking yourself some unsettling questions.
Verdict: Engaging, disturbing stuff⦠somebody's lies is somebody's entertainment.

The countdown to ring out 2011 has begun and What a Year it has been'.we won the Cricket World Cup, we had scandals after scandal in politics, a new leader emerged in form of Anna, and Aiswarya Rai Bachchan, along with the nation, welcomed Beti B had. Whichever way you see, you will agree that 2011 was one action packed year!
Therefore, at the dawn of 2012, MSN India invited consumers to vote for the best and the worst of 2011 under the categories: Bollywood, Sports, leaders and the most admired women. Indians have voted up a storm and we have had a whopping 5.2 million votes!! The results are out, some are expected and some are massive surprisesBollywood
Best Actor (Male): The 'Shaitan' of Bollywood, Rajeev Khandelwal has bagged the 'Best Actor Male' title. What's more surprising? He has beaten the more obvious, Shahrukh, the King Khan and Imran Khan, the chocolate boy! With ''.. Votes, great going Rajeev!
Best Actor (Female): Katrina Kaif. Ahem! So 'Shiela Ki Jawani' has eclipsed 'Silk Smita' and Katrina has beaten Vidya Balan for the top spot. We hope this would be a great encouragement for Kat and she would win the top spot again next year ' not for being a 'Chikni Chameli''this time for actually acting!
Worst Actor (Male): And the award goes to Himesh Reshammiya. We Indians admire bravery and this man is the bravest person in Bollywood currently. If you do not believe us, kindly watch his movies. But for that, you need to be very brave too! In fact, Aby Baby might have got blessed with a BaB this year; however, he has definitely not managed to be on the apple of the Junta's eye! He gave a tough competition to Himesh Reshamiya in the category of the 'worst actor male'.
Worst Actor (Female): Esha Deol. Well! At least she won something.
Best Film: Bodyguard. Lovely Singh gave a tough competition to other contenders, Delhi Belly and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. But, we are not surprised. Salman Bhai is pretty hard to beat! And with this, the bad boy of Bollywood has ruled the people's hearts two years in a row. Last year, Dabang had emerged as the Movie of the Year in the MSN India Diwali Dhamaka Poll.
Worst Film: Mausam. One of the reviews said that
the movie was so long that India could have accommodated a couple of
terror attacks by the time the movie finished. Go Figure!
Sports
Indian Sportsman of the year: M S Dhoni is the undoubted winner. Why not? After the legendary Kapil Dev, this is the next man who won the world cup for us. You do us proud Dhoni!
Best Indian Sporting event: The Cricket World Cup, what else??????? India winning the cup is still afresh in our minds and hearts. But, the big surprise is that there is just a difference of 1000 votes between the Cricket World Cup and the Hockey World Cup. Do we smell a return of the Hockey decade?
Most followed Indian Sport: It's Cricket for the most obvious reasons but here too the difference between Cricket and Hockey is a mere 64 votes. Hopefully, this is sign of a renewed interest in our national game.
Leaders
Most Admired Indian Leader: Narendra Modi wins this title and beating other hot favorites Anna Hazare and Rahul Gandhi in the process.
Women
MSN She Most Admired Indian Female Icon: Kiran Bedi wins this well deserved title for her fight against corruption.
Subhash K Jha selects his 10 favourite films of 2011.
1. Pyaar Ka Punchnama:
The year's sleeper success that kept us awake for a good 2 hours with
its celluloid anthem of ribtickling misogyny. Three room-mates and
their troubled love relationships formed the core of the comic
conflict. Every character and each episode spilled over with a
delightful deja vu. Debutant director Luv Ranjan managed a
3-guys-in-a-sexist-soup comedy much better than Madhur Bhandarkar
in Dil To Bachcha Hai Ji also released this year.And the director did
it with untried actors. Kartik Tiwari(who is now doing the same
director's next Saathi) and Divyendu Sharma(who is in David Dhawan's
Chashme Buddoor) were among the best discoveries of the year.We luv
you,Luv, for bringing push to shove without tripping over.
2. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara: It never rains in Spain except when three friends
take off on a holiday to the country, to do the things they always
wanted to(but were afraid to ).Zoya Akhtar's anthem to human dreams and
aspirations did what Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Rang De Basanti had done
5 years ago. It prompted the audience into a spiritual awakening.This
time the candles were being lit not at the Gateaway of India but in
thousands of hearts. 'Guys, go for it!' said the movie.After seeing the
film people actually went and did what they always wanted to.Incredible!
3. Shor In The City: Gritty,
witty and pithy this one paid a homage to the city of Mumbai through
three inter-connected stories that jumped the gun, literally, firing
salvos at conventional storytelling techniques while creating a
language that was cohesive in its own disembodied way.Does that make
sense? Shor In The City's directorial duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK
tried to make sense of the chaos of the city without resorting to
exaggerations and gimmicks. And a whole of lot dark humour.Uniformly
competent performances added a sheen of excitement to this on-the-edge
drama-thriller.
4. Rockstar: As Jordan the rockstar from Pitam Pura(if that isn't a contradiction in terms, what is?) Ranbir Kapoor
sold his soul to a film that seemed to revel in the ripples of Rahman's
rock rhythms. Yes, the narration lacked a cohesive sense of purpose and
seemed to drift in as many directions as the protagonist's music took
him.We were finally left with a film that worked for its medium-pitch
rendering of a musical symphony on the artiste as a selfdestructive creature. Ranbir played Devdas on acid. And it worked.Jim Morrison ki kasam.
5. Shaitaan:
Debutant director Bejoy Nambiar's clenched tooth-edged look at one
night in the lives of a bunch of selfdestructive upperclass kids in
Mumbai. Adrift and hedonistic, the portrait of self-gratification was
dead-on.And deadly. Nambiar plunged into the lives of his characters
with unapologetic gusto, bringing to the surface the harsh reality of
lives lived on the brink of destruction.Convincing performances, a
fabulous script and an editing pattern that didn't celebrate
abstrusness Shaitaan brought the devil out of the closet straight on
screen.A special mention of Rajeev Khandelwal as a cop on the edge.He re-defined the cliched part.
6. Tanu Weds Manu: Those
who couldn't digest the over-sweetened level of shaadi-video in Sooraj
Barjatya's Hum Aapke Hain Koun breathed a sigh of relief when Aanand
Rai (a late bloomer for sure!)came forward with a film that made the
festivities and flirtation during a typical North Indian wedding
actually seem pleasant and enjoyable.The romance that grew in the Bunty
aur bubbling brew was panoramic yet intimate and warm.And the small
towns of North India never looked more inviting.Give or take a wedding
card. The narrative meshed the Madhavan-Kangna relationship into acres
of music masti and other diversions without flirting too hard with
frivolity. No mean achievement.
7. I Am: Onir's
segmented and layered, gentle sensitive and hardhitting 3-in-1 package
about fertility clinics, police harassment,Kashmir militancy, child
abuse and alternate sexuality provided a revealing view into
contemporary life. Not allowing the narrative to be crowded with ideas
, not leaning excessively on social statements , the troubled and
troubling stories in I Am flowed in a smooth motion of life.Fluently.
8. Stanley Ka Dabba: For
the sheer happiness of watching a film that walked with the child and
doesn't talk down to him,for the sheer relief of hearing an original
voice in the gaggle of derivative children's films, Amol Gupte's debut
film scored high marks. And for making little Partho Gupte and his
friends act and react the way children in real life do we will be
eternally indebted to the director.This one tugged at our heartstrings
without playing the violin.
9. No One Killed Jessica:
A sensational true-life crime brought alive on screen with the deft
delicacy of a chef slow-boiling a delicate digestible meal , this one
was a class act. Recreating the events around the sensational Jessica
Lal's murder in Delhi director Rajkumar Gupta also fashioned the
ultimate chick flick with Vidya Balan and Rani Mukherjee
putting in super bravura performances.It's hard to make a watchable
feature film out of a real-life incident. This one managed just that.
With resounding success.Jessica lived again.This was a rare bio-pic
that didn't offend those whose lives the plot touched.
10. The Dirty Picture:
An uneven storyline, a blurred moral code and a jerky graph for the
colourful protagonist's character couldn't take away from glory that
Vidya Balan brought to Silk's role. Blossoming into a formidable figure
of vibrancy and voluptuary she virtually re-invented the heroine for
the first time since Jaya Bhaduri, Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil. If a Dirty Picture can be so delectable we can't wait for it to get filthy.
Other remarkable films of the year: Prawal
Raman's 404 Nitesh Tiwari & Vikas Bahl's Chillar Party,Shoaib
Mansoor's BOL ,Abhinay Deo's Delhi Belly, Anurag Kashyap's That Girl In
Yellow Boots, Nila Madhab Panda's I Am Kalam,Neerav Ghosh's Soundtrack,
Kiran Rao's Dhobi Ghat.
