Kasooti

and it is also available in on a website. where a computer does the guessing, the dude is getting inteligent with every game it plays. It is fun

I checked the website couple of years ago and checked it again yesterday. It is improving.

Re: Kasooti

The TV program was a long long time back. I used to watch some reruns on PTV in my bachpann, and the thing that was really awesome about that program was that the host (Quresh Pur) and the two contestants (one of them was Ubaid Ullah Baig, can't remember the name of the other one) will only talk in Urdu. They will not mix any english word in their conversation. All three of them were highly educated and intellectuals; and it was amazing to listen to them speak in a very high quality urdu language through out the program.

Re: Kasooti

Yes original kasoti used to come on air loonng time back, when tv was black and white. it was extremely popular back then

But it was made again with the same trio in 1990s for brief period. the quality was good but dont know why it didn't last long.

Re: Kasooti

LOL @ Halla Gulla Baig

I remember watching the b@w version of this when i was kid. CAnt say it was my favorite TV show at the time but all the adults in the house seemed glued to it

Re: Kasooti

the trio was Quresh Pur (host) with Iftekhar Arif and Obaid Ullah Baig. In the later version Himayat Ali Sayer took over from Quresh pur and Obaid was replaced by a journalist whose name I cant remember just now, something Salahuddin.

Re: Kasooti

i cant seem to edit, Iftekhar was replaced by Salahuddin and not Ubaid. I think that was the time when Iftekhar left for London as a protest against Zia's military regieme
