Chak De IPL!

EBC Show
May 28, 2008

Tou finally the IPL fever is over with the Deccan Chargers (the Dhakkan team) winning over the Bangalore Royal Challengers (the Bevda Team). Some people are happy, some confused and unhappy, some dont know which channel to tune in to look for those celebrities (I am talking about the cheerleaders of-course).

Jo bhi ho there needs to be changes made in the next season of IPL, like the Rajasthan Royals should change their team name to Rajasthan Un-Royals and Mumbai Indians be called Mumbai In-jured-ians.

Plus with all the hoopla over the grand finale and who will and who will not perform after the game ends, lots of people were unhappy not seeing their star, but I guess the most unhappy person in all this "Injured Player's League" was apna SRK.

He recently just took off for a vacation to the US. He has almost changed the Chak de India slogan to India-Ko-Chak-De.

SRK might just be lucky because not many folks in the US watched the IPL, becoz they were more concerned with their own KPL (Kidhar Paisa Lagaoon in this recovering economy)

Also the hush-hush news is that King Khan just could not face the media questions about the KKR's dismal performance, and he is thinking of renaming the team to KKK and asking Adnan Sami to sing the title song (Kabhi tou Khaata Kholo... )

While the IPL is ending, you know the strike in the industry is causing big issues when Shahrukh and Aamir are seen at so many venues together. Hopefully they can work something out, because the Industry is missing out on lots of possible money spinners.

We cant wait for the Aamir's "3 Idiots" and Shahrukh's "My Name is Khan", Akki has Blue, Action Replay and Kambhakht Ishq, Abhishek has Mani Ratnam's "Ravana" and a bunch of other movies coming from the Yash Raj camp with their new Raj - Shahid Kapur.

And yes not to forget the endless list of Big B movies: Alladin, Teen Patti, Shoebite, Johnny Mastana, and many more.. (when is he finally going to retire?)

So, hopefully Bollywood soon picks up on what they do best - strikes, oh I mean strike the Box Office, after all Kal Kisne Dekha Hain !

Folks, that pretty much wraps up the blog this time.

The song list played in the show:

1. Nazaara Hain - Tasveer 8X10
2. Woh ladki jo sabse alag hain - Badshah
3. Tere Bina - Tasveer 8X10
4. Aye Bachchu - Ghajini
5. Tujhpe tou jaadu - Race
6. Mar Jaawa - Fashion
7. Zaraa Si Dil main - Jannat
8. Tere Naina - Chandni Chowk to China

So summer is coming Meri Jaan, get ready for the heat, but keep your emails flowing to cool me down at pankajonebc@yahoo.com.

Till next time, stay safe and stay in loeve !
