K…K…K…KBC!!! Aseem N wrote this at 10:43 pm • Filed under General •

A quiz, a quiz master, contestants, audience, lights, camera and action! Yet you know that something is terribly missing here. Yes very evidently the all-time superstar Amitabh Bachchan. With due credit to what Shah Rukh Khan is, you still can’t help compare The Shehenshah of bollywood and The Badshah of hearts. Though a sorry comparison to get into as both belong to a completely different class.

The show starts off with a somewhat brassy song “Ek sawaal ka hai sawaal” that looks completely out of place for the epitome of Kaun Banega Crorepati. And I was left wondering with probably millions of others with what the hell they have done to the show. Thankfully the same show, the same set, the same haunting sound effects, the same Prasoon Sarkar waiting for a year to complete his game and a little nervous Shah Rukh Khan. Nothing to take away from him, you cannot be perfect at the get set go. But somehow both KBC and SRK seem to have lost the key of the lock and now freezing the audience and the answers.

So what do you miss in Shah Rukh Khan’s version of KBC? You certainly miss the aura of The Big B, Amitabhji’s pure hindi, the grip he has over you, the so passionate and comforting voice he has to the little squeaky voice of Shah Rukh Khan. Still nothing to take away from Shah Rukh, he is known for his presence of mind, smart one liners, wits that can amuse you, which I kinda found missing through the show. His jokes so silly and pre-planned that I couldn’t honour them with a laugh. His excessively excited gestures and a high amplitude voice gives an overly showy feeling to match the class and archetype of the show. He wasnt hosting the show but acting there. Lol! But I am sure, as the show progresses we will see the real Shah Rukh, the King Khan yet once more ruling the hearts of millions.

For my likes, I miss the showman, Amitabh Bachchan, such a professional quiz master. Certainly there is no replacement for him. But if I have put you off from applying to get into the show, nevertheless there is a 2 crore prize money waiting to be claimed and a Shah Rukh Khan massaging you if you are too tensed up and giving you a comfy hug if you decide to quit.

Unheard musings… Aseem N wrote this at 1:45 pm • Filed under My Writings •

Patto bin hava se poocho,
Udne ki umang thode hi teher jaati hai.
Dharti bin barish se poocho,
boondon ki taras thode hi khatm ho jaati hai.
Jaam bin sharab se poocho,
Jalti pyaas thode hi bujh jaati hai.
Hum bin tum se poocho,
tumhari yaad thode hi mit jaati hai!
