National Bingo Night on Colors TV Abhishek Bachchan Indian Reality TV Show

ABC TV Channel in USA premiered the National Bingo Night gameshow in May of 2007 in the United States. It was cancelled by ABC after the first few episodes, and picked up by GSN.

Three years later, the format has apparently been licensed by Colors TV Channel in India (also called Aapka Colors), and the franchisee has chosen Indian movie hero Abhishek Bachchan to host the show. Abhishek is the son of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and married to the glamorous fashion-model turned actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Abhishek is the grandson of acclaimed poet and writer Harivansh Rai Bachchan.

In addition to the Indian franchise, the show also has franchises in Australia and the Philippines.

The game is an interactive experience for both the studio audience and viewers at home. On NBN, members of the studio audience attempted to win a game of bingo while competing with a solo studio contestant. For Bingo America, it is played as a straight general knowledge quiz format with two players and a home viewer bingo game within.

Life Goes On (2010) - Sharmila Tagore Soha Ali Khan Girish Karnad Om Puri - Promo-Preview-Review-Trailer

Life Goes On Indian Bollywood Hindi Movie

Read all about Life Goes on and watch the theatrical trailer.

The drama explores the relations between a grief stricken father and his three daughters. Set in London, the time is now, the family of Indian origin- part of the UK diaspora. With his wife’s sudden death, Sanjay is suddenly thrown into close proximity with his three daughters. The drama unfolds over five days from the day when Manju dies to day of the funeral. Haunted by memories, grappling with this devastating loss, missing the mediating influence of his wife, Sanjay finds himself assessing and carving out new relations with his three daughters. He is faced with a further crisis when he discovers his youngest and most loved daughter Dia, has a Muslim boyfriend -Imtiaz. Confused and angry, Sanjay leaves home and wanders the streets of London one night. With an unexpected series of events, Sanjay is forced to face his past demons, his trauma over the partition of India when as a child, he was forced to leave his home with his parents. Finally to come to terms with his old and unspoken prejudice about Muslims, in the larger context of the country in the grips of Islamaphobia as the events of 7/7 and the consequences of the Iraq war reverberate. As he sits drenched and tired on a bench on Hampstead Heath and watches the sun rise – Sanjay puts his demons to rest. At the funeral he has come to terms with himself, he allows the Muslim boy to join the family rituals and sees his daughters for what they are and not what he expected them to be. The shadow of Shakespeare’s King Lear bears on this contemporary and free adaptation. It works functionally as a sub- text in the film as we see Sanjay and Dia within the contours of the mythical Lear and Cordelia.
