Zee launched its new venture, Aap Ki Antara on June 1. The show urges people to see the world through the eyes of a child. Produced by Drishtant Media, it will be aired from Monday to Friday at 8:30 pm. The story of Aap Ki Antara unfolds through the lives of 5-year-old child, Antara, played by Zaina Vastani, her mother (Vidhya) played by Prabhleen Sandhu and her father (Shekhar) played by Darshan Pandya. The show was earlier mired in controversy when Apple Reetoria, who was initially roped in to play the title role of Antara, was replaced by Zaina Vasthani. This after Apple’s mother accused the channel of hostile work conditions. The question is whether Aap Ki Antara will work amongst many children-oriented shows on TV.
This one’s for music buffs!
If you sing movie soundtracks, well Soul Fry Casa at Mumbai is the place to visit! Zee Studios is hosting a karaoke competition, Studio Nites at Soul Fry Casa, Fort in Mumbai. Studio Nites is Zee Studio’s platform that invites people who are interested in music and well-versed with movie songs to participate. The competition kickstarted on May 27 and ends on June 5.
The mood at Soul Fry Casa was energetic and buzzing. A lot of participants who had registered themselves were caught rehearsing their lines. About 20 people registered themselves and the singing contest began with the eternal Bryan Adams love song, Everything I do, I do it for you! fowllowed by songs like Stand By me, I will always love you, Staying alive, You fill up my senses and Leaving on a jet plane. Though the contestants were good, the place was overflowing with people. People who had just come to chill walked away with the free goodies like music CDs, DVDs and T-shirts.
Shibani Kashyap, who is one of the judges, was impressed with the turnout and was all praises for the karaoke initiative. “I was absolutely floored by the talent on display at the championship. A championship celebrating music from Hollywood is such a cool idea because music from the mainstream Hindi cinema is all over anyway.†The winner of the championship not only gets a cash prize of Rs 25,000, but also wins a chance to represent Mumbai at a national-level karaoke championship to be held in Bengaluru. The judges for the other two days are Anaida and Manasi Scott.
