Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:03:59 +0000

After a journey of five-thousand kilometers, after it reaches Ho Chi Minh City the Lancang-Mekong River loses itself in the sea, leaving the Sub-regional Area a very long coastal line of about 10 thousand kilometers. This area was once part of the Silk Road on the sea, a route through which trade on water, over time, led to the blending of different cultures. Today, business activities are booming in each of the region’s ports due to a local economic cooperative mechanism which came into effect in 1992, the true fruits of which were seen after 2002 when the mechanism became a full-scale practice. With this economic cooperation among local countries has entered a new chapter. This program gives an overview of the economic cooperation now taking place between these countries, about the efforts being undertaken by the Chinese government in the mechanism, and of exchanges in culture and tourism that benefit all six countries in the region. This program also reports on Chinese experts helping Cambodian rebuild the temple of Chau Say Tevoda in Angkor Wat, and watches students from countries in the Sub-region studying in China and hears comments from their diplomatic officials to China. The title of this series, a joint effort by the national TV broadcasters of all six countries participating, is “Nourished by the Same River” and its theme is “Cooperation, friendship, harmony and Development”.

In a nutshell ek dilchasp, rip-roaring, rib tickling comedy rather, satire on the everyday trials of the common man and our rather handicapped system. The conniving, cutthroat and lackadaisical attitude of our system is represented in an extremely humorous manner. The system is represented by a group of actors who are constantly highlighting the pathetic mindset of our junior level officers. They say, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Pankaj Kapoor, leaves no stone unturned in his portrayal of the system beaten man. The very obvious strength of this show is its pathos driven satire. Well crafted by the writers and effectively portrayed by the actors, this show is one of its kinds.

Crime Patrol – Episode 1

Government Official, Tapesh (22) is shot dead on his wedding day. Three management students loose life due to drunk and rash driving and rest three are grievously injured. A normal dispute between neighbor families in capital turns ugly. Become aware of the first basic step of filing a crime (FIR) and the rules subjected to it. CRIME PATROL is a reality series. However the case presentation would be a story telling form that would have the interest of a fiction drama presentation. The prelude and finale to the case would make the case a complete story. Interactions with the analysts on the show would be treated with the audience interest point of view keeping it only as much as essential to the story telling. Going beyond the drama of police action in a crime situation, the show also aims to look into the “why” behind a crime. Police action on one hand gives the show the edge of how the law keepers bring the culprits to book or stop a crime from being committed. On the other hand, the show will also be looking at the sociological aspect behind a crime- both from the victim as well as the criminal’s side. The cases would be driven by cameras moving along with the police force from the time a crime is reported or when the police receive a call till the point the case is brought to a logical conclusion in the police records for further movement in the court of law. As such the police force is deemed to be the law keeper and not the justice authority.
