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?

Is the Media in trouble? Mumbai Press Club holds discussion on subject

Uday Shankar, Star India CEO said, “Just because the media has become capital-intensive, doesn’t mean that it has to compromise on your integrity. Every business has to have a value system, and the editor needs to be sensitive to that. Journalists need to wake up to the economic reality, and it can’t be denied. On the other hand, those who recognise that are willing to swing to the other extreme and do anything. That also is neither healthy nor sustainable.”

Channel V plans more events

Prem Kamath, channel head, Channel V, adds, "Participation has gone up by almost 100 per cent. We have had 500-600 participants earlier, this year we had about 1000 participants in each zonal."
