THEY are stylish and spunky. And their attitude is chillax. They are the trendy foursome of Remix on Star One. They are so trendy that they are becoming style icons for their legion of teenage fans. Tia, Anvesha, Yuvi and Ranveer are spelling out the style mantra in more ways than one. From hair gels to funky jackets and from dangling sequins to charm bracelets they have them all. But more than fashion it is their new lingo which sets them apart and is giving the show a hip following. The next time someone says Hey Bhaggu don’t look blank. In the lexicon of these new kids-on-the-block it means Hey Bhagwan. If you didn’t guess puhleese is a stretched version of please then you are a dufu or a duffer. If you are not quick to catch on this stuff you’re quite a duh-uh. So just pop a chill-pill and watch for yourself why Remix rocks. Remo’s SMS
HE’S back and he’s back with a bang. After a hiatus of almost five years, Remo Fernandes’ new album, Love On SMS, is making a rapid ascent on the charts. But more than the album it is the video that has caught the fancy of the channels. The foot-tapping new album which has a dash of Goan and Damanese folk music is Remo’s way of looking at the new generation for whom text messaging is the latest form of communication. "The whole young world is busy SMSing. But no one thought of writing a song about it. That’s why I thought it was such an original idea," says Remo, who has used an array of folk elements in the album which has no artificially created sounds. The video shows a loser in love being transformed into a romantic young man goaded on by Remo who serenades in the background. "I don’t make fancy promises but, believe me, I think this video will set hearts on fire." And going by the response, Remo certainly knows how to make Gen Next break into a dance and song. A rip-roaring ride
THIS August, get ready to go bonkers as Star World takes you on a hilarious joyride with the award winning comedians Matt Lucas and David Williams and their cutting, cheeky and creative comedy – Little Britain. This madcap comedy scours Britain to find strange stereotypes complete with horrible habits, a dreadful dress sense and no idea of what normal means. This crazy comedy is at once a true and telling account of British quirks and idiosyncrasies, as well as an exercise in wild imagination. Along with a priceless cast of characters, Lucas and Williams bring in plenty of sly humour, lots of wit and a good dose of sympathy for the misguided and mostly misunderstood people. Unlike Kumars at No 42 one sure hopes Indian viewers identify
with the characters and situations or Star World will |
