Right, for all of us who may find a television that does not want to eat, drink and not sleep cricket, and for those who like nothing more, here are a few other shows: We recommend Durgesh Nandini for those who want to watch Hema Malini in Seeta Aur Geeta, four days a week. Durgesh has actually whipped the errant family into shape. The family wishes to inherit their father’s Rs 5,000 crore (as we are told 5,000 times). Perfectly natural. Except that they took the very unnatural step of killing the father as well as incarcerating the mother. They hadn’t bargained for Durgesh who has taken control of the family fortunes and their lives. Watch on.

There’s Kaajal, this pretty girl who is about to marry one guy but finds that the man she actually loves has a very poor horoscope which predicts that the woman of his dreams will be his last and fatal nightmare. Can’t seem to get away from them, these devilish night creatures. If these are not to your liking, how about Niyati in Kulvaddhu who marries Shaurya who agreed to marry her but then decided he preferred Jahnavi who also preferred herself to Niyati (for him!) and while this (un)happy threesome chose to frolic in a hotel, who should come in and ruin everything but Kitu Gidwani as the very unconvincing mother of Shaurya, looking younger and prettier than Jahnavi and Niyati and you wish the story had been about her and Milind Gunaji (her screen husband) instead.
