Desi programs on T.V.

what’s ur take on desi t.v. programs??

i find a few really worth watching, and others, really not worth the time @ all…one of the prog’s that i do like is “Bollywood Blvd.”

what bout Darshan Sahota’s “Eye on Asia”??
and Jaffry’s prog. on the wknd (i alwayz forget the name of the show)?

as for pakistani t.v. programs, i’ve only seen “Dil Dil Pakistan” on the wknds…i think that prog is decent as well…

anyone seen the new wknd show “Ishtyle”?? i think it’s supposed to be one on desi’s in North America…haven’t seen it yet (cuz i’m working on the wknds)…would like to hear from the ppl who’ve seen it though…

i have to hand it to these ppl, that they are atleast making an effort to not forget their culture, and create more awareness in the general public.

What desi channels do you get there? I don't know any programmes that you've mentioned. Over here we get Zee TV and they've just introduced Sony TV and B4U as well. The UK ppl have the same Zee as us. Most of the programmes are Indian soapies, otherwise I reckon * Upbeat * is good and then they play 1 (only 1) Pakistani drama a week, at the moment it's * Tum Hi To Ho *.

oh…these programs i mentioned are on cable cat-woman…there are desi channels as well, but on sattelite…so i’m not very familiar with 'em

~ It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow… ~

I agree !! I dont like the sahota program either - Darshan is the only one talking (he makes me laugh) and all arvinder does is fold her hands on her knees and give a big smile

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/hehe.gif

Oh, and did u notice how there r more commercials than movie/entertainment news on the show?? Ditto for the radio show

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/biggrin.gif

Aunty Nasreen, i think thats the dil dil pakistan program Desi munda.
Havent seen ISHTYLE yet - didnt even know bout it until i read it just now

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/smile.gif

ROTFL ROTFL !!! yeh thas wat arvinder sohata does.. hahahah keeps smilin n yeh they’ve got more commercials than the prog. itself..
HEY !!! DONT diss that dil dil pakistan !!! Aunty Nasreen’s progs. called Dharti Sohni Pakistan.. n all it has got in that progs. commercials… indian movie ads… n a few really old no good pakistani songs.. n yeh that prog. is filled with advertises !!! and some immigration stuff…
