Friends from another world
Rupali Bhosle and Sumeet Raghavan Last checked, there were only Small Wonder and I Dream of Jeannie; with due respect to the dubbed version and their desi replicas, super-humans and aliens remain an unchartered territory on Indian television. Which is why before everything else, the creative team and cast of SAB TV takes pride in announcing India's first alien comedy TV series. Even the title shares the limelight a little later and with the right emphasis on Badi Dooooor Se Aaaye Hain. Equate the five Os with space and make friends with a family of five that has come from far, really far.

Don’t mind!
Lior Suchard How would you possibly react to someone who can read your mind? Would you feel scared at the intrusion or would you be intrigued by the phenomenon that borders on the lines of the supernatural?

Gift a surprise
It's surprising that the launch invite skips the very name of the celebrity inaugurating the event. The invite by Zaira Diamonds proudly reads the launch of 'India's First Gift Card in Jewellery' but skips out the name of Dinesh Mongia.

Master Chef
Kool Kulcha
We have always been fascinated by the humble and ubiquitous kulcha. Ask any Indian settled abroad and he would rather have kulche chole than any pizza with all the fancy toppings. As a chef, one can't help experimenting though. So, here's a fusion kulcha dish to tempt the young and old alike.

A rare jewel
