Raising entertainment quotient

Have you begun to get tired of the old shows that have been dragging on for months together, some even stretching themselves for years?

Are you looking for new concepts and newer formats to keep the entertainment factor alive on the television? Telugu television viewers now have a couple of fresh entertainment options with channels launching two shows this week. If Zee Telugu has come out with ‘Nari Nari Naduma Murari’, then Gemini TV added another in the form of ‘Bol Baby Bol’ to its show list. For ‘Nari Nari Naduma Murari’ scheduled on Wednesdays at 9.30 p.m., Zee Telugu has roped in the livewire anchor Udaya Bhanu and set the concept rather differently from the format of present ones. As the title suggests, it has two female celebrities vying with each other to catch the attention of a male celebrity of that show. The channel says it has packed each episode with loads of fun and entertainment.

Meanwhile, Gemini’s music contest ‘Bol Baby Bol’ has on offer Rs.25 lakh each to win for those two contestants who sing their way to the finals. Based on the concept of guess, sing and win, it has the prize money starting at Rs.1, 000 for every successful tune and is anchored by music director-singer, Hemachandra and singer Sravana Bhargavi. Interspersed by celebrity presence, the show backed by leading music director Koti has Vasundhara Das as the judge.
