Sadda Haq, Paanch, It’s Complicated: Channel V’s new youth shows

2 December 2013

The new strategy seems to work for the channel as it concentrates on connecting with the youth with their shows

Channel V came up with four new shows after closing the curtains on some of their previous shows. The concepts and story lines of the shows seem interesting and novel…we just hope they maintain it that way.

The new shows include Confessions of an Indian Teenager, Sadda Haq, Paanchand It’s Complicated

Confessions of an Indian Teenager: The show is based on real life situations happening in teenagers’ lives. People send in their story on the blog, from where it is picked up and recreated on the channel. Host Vaibhav Sharma takes people through the lives of teenagers who talk about their experiences and peer pressure they go through.

Sadda Haq: The show is the story of Sanyukta who dreams to be a mechanical engineer, but the society thinks that a woman’s job is only to get married and have kids. The engineering college, which has a mechanical engineering course, has only boys as students, who are also of the belief that women have no place there.

Paanch: This is the story of 18-year-old Roshini, who comes to college to take revenge from a set of five students who ragged her sister and forced her to commit suicide. She comes to college and befriends them in order to teach them a lesson.

It’s Complicated: The fight of Men vs. Women continues and this show is just an extension of that. Three men who live across three gorgeous women – they fight, crib and even fall in love. The show seems like a comic relief among serious drama stories.

All the four shows look interesting and we would definitely like to watch them, what about you BollywoodLifers?

High hopes for ‘Satyamev Jayate 2’

With a tagline that reads: ‘Jinhe Desh Ki Fikar Hai’, season two promises hard-hitting content like before but the format will be different.

Star Plus' rejigged programming pays off

Gaurav Bannerjee, Head, Star Plus explains, “While it is true that the increase in ratings is a result of extendng the weekday strategy to Saturday, I also believe it is because of the stickiness of our content. Our weekday prime time has 11 shows out of which almost 5 to 6 are in the top ten every week. So our content, which we have worked very hard to suit the contemporary Indian woman across geographies, has found a hook with our audience."

The tussle over live cricket scores

Ajit Mohan, Head, New Media, Star India said, “Digital should be an incremental leap in the way people consume sports. But if you look at the current crop of digital sports service companies, it has been a huge regressive step backwards, because essentially you’re trying to describe a match through text commentary."
