Has MTV Lost It???

I am watching MTV as I write this post and it is playing the song Khudaya Khair from King Khan's film Billu and I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised.

It was because in the recent times MTV had gone back on its main objective of being a music channel which it had initially intended to be. In the recent past I have noticed that MTV has begun concentrating more on the reality shows rather than showing music videos.

It does show music videos but it is peppered between the reality shows. Agreed that it was a reality show 'MTV Roadies' that skyrocketed the TRPs of MTV but now I feel that they are overdoing it.

There is a mushrooming of nonsensical reality shows on MTV of which Splitsville takes the cherry of being the worst show ever on TV. There is absolutely no objective in running that crap show.

What I as a television watcher want is entertainment and what do I get in knowing who is having an affair with whom and Splitsville is all about this nonsense.

With the emerging threat from other music channels like ZOOM TV and other local music channels eating into the market share of MTV, MTV has to do drastically different and fast to be able to retain its viewers from defecting to other music channels.

But is anybody listening?????

First Look: My Name Is KHAN

Hold your breath folks !!! Coz you have just seen a glimpse of a cyclone.

A cyclone in waiting to shatter away everything in its way.

A cyclone that will rewrite history.

A cyclone that will rip apart all notions.

A cyclone that is 'In Your Face' flick.

A cyclone that stars THE KING.

A cyclone called 'MY NAME IS KHAN'.

My Name Is Khan stars the unbeatable Jodi of King Khan and Kajol. It is being directed by Karan Johar. It has been purchased by Fox Studios (the same studios which distributed Slumdog Millionaire worldwide) for an astounding 98 crores - the highest ever in the history of Indian Cinema.

Fox plans to release My Name Is Khan at an earth shattering 18000 screens worldwide. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince released at 15900 screens. The reason being that they are happy with the way it has shaped up and to add to it, the mesmerizing presence of THE KING.

My Name Is Khan is slated to release on 22 January 2010, targeting the Republic Day week.

The tremors of My Name Is Khan have already been felt. Rakesh Roshan's Kites which stars Hrithik Roshan and Rajkumar Hirani's 3 Idiots starring Aamir Khan have postponed their respective films. Both of which were initially scheduled to release of 15th and 22nd January respectively.

The wait for My Name Is Khan begins..........
