Zee-Star war refuses to cease
Tuesday, February 27, 2007
For Zee Antakshari and Star Antakshari the battle lines were clearly drawn from day one itself. More recently, Zee claimed that as far as ratings go, they are way ahead of Star.
"Our
launch
day
ratings
and
overall
ratings
are
much
ahead
of
Star
One's
Antakshari.
The
ratings
of
Zee
Antakshri
on
the
launch
day
were
4.51
and
that
of
Star
One's
was
1.42
as
per
the
TAM
Research",
claims
a
spokesperson
of
Zee
TV.
However
ex
Zee
producer
Gajendra
Singh
who
now
makes
Antakshari
for
Star
was
not
interested
in
getting
into
the
defensive
mode.
"I
have
no
interest
in
TRP
games
at
all.
Let
Zee
be
good
in
all
these
things",
he
simply
said.
But
it's
surprising
to
see
Gajendra
adopt
a
soft
tone
after
claiming
that
unlike
the
Zee
show,
his
Antakshari
is
an
hour
long
show,
a
tri-weekly
one
and
a
better
entertainer
since
it
came
from
the
original
creator.
It
could
be
so
that
the
experience
and
fan
following
of
Annu
Kapoor
and
the
charm
of
Juhi
Parmar
hasn't
done
wonders
to
his
confidence
after
the
show
went
on
air.
Or is this stance a clever way to hide his disappointment? Well, Gajendra Singh can answer this question the best.
