The Great Indian Tamasha

Folks, time for catching some new mega-serial on the television if u have been bored of all the talk about Mumbai blasts and the war on terrorism.Quite bland ain't it?? 24*7 some experts providing discussing threadbare about why exactly the Maharashtra chief minister reacted slowly to the blasts.From breakfast to lunch to dinner time the issue is raging a tropical storm on everyone's minds.Nisha u can be excused here(well even she cant have possibly caused catastrophic damage).

For those who came in late,"Prison Break" is a popular American serial in which a group of "good" guys take on a nefarious company.This has managed to garner high TRP's on the American Channels . Let's get to some facts now.Well in America, any tv serial is telecasted weekly with frequent reruns the same week.A season has approximately 22-24 episodes .Indians have long been trying to act different.(Well yeah quantity matters more aint it).Now folks down in India have long been complaining of how they have been forced to watch "saas -bahus" from noon to night for 365 days a year(save those gandhi jayanthis,diwalis and weekends ,when we can catch up Captain's patriotism on the screen). A swift action of channel hopping can confirm the same.It is plain-truth men are turned-off by neverending saas-bahus ( yeah if your T.V remote is a bone of contention, no TATA Sky plus yet).

Well we present you an alternative, for those who are hoping to catch some acton on the small screen.We are about to launch " The Great Indian Tamasha".(people dont be skeptical about the title.This promises more masala than any Perarasu Flick). "The Great Indian Tamasha" is a script which has the right mix of all ingredients and promises unlimited screenplay and is ready to go on floors.Here's a prelude.The opening season of this grand mega fare is set in a timescale a few weeks preceding "Terror Strikes " on any part of the country.( We can opt for 26/11 if the censor board guarantees clearance).The country's cricket followers are still struggling to come to terms following the exit of Sourav Ganguly and Anil Kumble. Emotionally choked fans are vying with each other who is the "Greatest " ,Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar or Spin-Wizard Anil Kumble( courtesy Neo-Cricket).The country's prime news channels are conducting a poll as who's the next superstar SRK or Akshay .However it is Aamir who walks with the prize for his mean muscular look in his next movie.Downsouth ,We have a News-channel whose headlines (for the whole week) proclaims their sister movie production company's recently released fare as a mega-hit with the masses on the opening day.Then ofcourse the routine spat between the 2 political big-wigs J and K ( we have no confirmed updates about the squabbles in K's family).


Now as the season progresses the country witnesses attacks on its prime and prestigious spots.We witness hostage rescue operations round the clock,live on the News channels (well even Counter Strike 's no match here).Full credits to the NSG( well i mean it sincerely).Suddenly there's a wake up call that even the Page-3 celebrities and Industrial tycoons are as hapless as the rest of the society( perhaps a few exceptions may be there).The terrorists are shot down as "good" prevails over "evil" and the carnage is over.Next relief package is doled out to the victims of terror ,as the PM addresses the nation," We wont be cowed down by terror."( well spoken Manmohan ,your oratorical skills have surpassed even Martin Luther King).Not to be left alone or forgotten Page 3 celebrities including MegaStar Amitabh Bachchan share their horrendous bed-time woes( well yeah the megastar felt enough threat on his life to sleep with a gun under his pillow).Our well beloved film-maker RGV perhaps knows more about forensics than our country's best experts that he is guaranteed clearance to witness the site of carnage.


As an aftermath of the terror attacks, quite a lot of heads are axed including the country's home minister and suddenly investigations point the finger towards involvement of elements in Pakistan in the attacks.The season concludes on this note ( with a definite promise of a subsequent season on the cards).Well to find a director for this mega-saga,we needn't look further than our RGV. The choice of a production company is stalling the progress ,perhaps the same group which publicized their movie on their news channel is a viable option( no alternative on this front actually other houses are bust following mega failures of super star movies).But monopoly isn't good for consumerism aint it??
