Bandini, Old Man & Young Bride, another cult?


Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms has taken to new path on new channel (NDTV Imagine). We havent seen any new serial from Balaji ever since Mahabharat on 9x fizzled out and Star Plus saying ‘enough is enough’ to saas bahu stuff.

Bandini on NDTV Imagine

NDTV Imagine + Ekta Kapoor + Inspiration from old tradition + Sucess of Balika Vadhu = serial BANDINI. It is tale of a young girl who is forced into a marriage of convenience with an elderly man twice her age. Ummm… something similar is already happening in Balika Vadhu – remember Gehna and his ever so angry age(y) husband?

Anyway, with sort of fresh cast – NDTV Imagine & Ekta seem to have winner. Debutant Aasiya Kazi as the young girl Santu and playing the old man is Balaji’s lover boy man Ronit Roy (finally he plays a character of his age – it was about time Mr Bajaj). Starts on NDTV Imagine from Jan 19, 2009 [Mon – Thurs, 10PM].
