ZEE TV restarts its famous show ‘Antakshari’ again in January. It was the top ranking musical show. The game show, which had been running on the channel since its launch in 1994 was axed in 2005 to make way for shows appealing to a younger audience. Antakshari has a fan following in more than 73 countries and has created singing icons like Sunidhi Chauhan amongst others.

Antakshari is also the longest running TV musical show on Indian television and has been shot internationally too. The new ‘Antakshari’ will be hosted by Sunil Pal, who has been a part of STAR One’s ‘Great Laughter Challenge’. The show will be co-hosted by ZEE TV’s protégé Himani Kapoor who was one of the finalists in ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa -Challenge 2005′. The two stars are hoping to create the same magic that Anu Kapoor once did on the hugely popular programme.

There’s been a change of sponsor for Antakshari, the popular musical game show on Zee TV, which has been on air for close to a decade. The show, which will soon be re-launched in a new format with a new look, will now be sponsored by Sansui and will be known as Sansui Antakshari. Zee TV has sold the rights to Sansui for an annual fee of Rs 5 crore, which is at a substantially-high premium. (more…)

With great power, there must also come great responsibility. Action comic book hero Spider-Man takes on his arch nemesis the Green Goblin in his giant leap onto the silver screen.

Peter Parker is a shy young orphan who lives with his beloved Aunt May and Uncle Ben. An avid student with a less-than-middling social life and a knack for attracting bad luck, he spends his spare time dreaming of the day when beautiful girl-next-door, Mary Jane Watson, will return his affections.

However, life gets dramatically better for Peter when he is bitten by a radioactive spider. Miraculously overnight, he develops superhuman powers that transform him - from a body hard-packed with muscles, perfect vision, the ability to scale walls and to shoot a web-like substance from his wrists, Peter also develops an ESP-like “spider sense” that provides him with super fast reflexes.

When a family tragedy pushes Peter to use his powers towards fighting evil on the city streets - under the guise of “Spider-Man” - he finds himself up against megalomaniacal businessman Norman Osborn, the father of Peter’s best buddy. Osborn, a victim of an experiment gone wrong, has been driven insane and acquired a superhuman strength and intelligence from an experimental formula. He becomes the Green Goblin, a maniacal mutant hell-bent on taking over the world. (more…)
