Absolute Comedy
It seems like Vijay TV has pulled it off with Simbu’s walkout episode in its Jodi No. 1 season 2 programme. It was very apparent that the best Tamil programme last year was losing steam pretty fast in its latest avatar.
But by roping in Simbu and letting him clash (albeit stage-managed) with Prithviraj, the programme might have just received the ideal publicity to boost its TRP’s in the coming weekends. I have read about the Simbu-Prithviraj clash already in a couple of forums.
Things to note in that episode:
1. The whole clash looks very genuine till Simbu starts acting. I think Prithviraj does an excellent job of acting like a guy who was seriously affected by Simbu’s statements. Simbu needlessly overacts.
2. That Devadarshini or whatever her name is, irritates one by being a perfect chamcha. She repeats whatever Simbu says throughout the episode.
3. Another good comedy was when some participant speaks, “naangaellam different kind of people oru integrity oda adarom” . I think he meant integration… Whatever, that was funny.
Overall, I am disappointed that Vijay TV successfully pulled it off with such a dirty trick (which was copy of a similar incident by Sonu Nigam and co. in “Indian Idol”). My guess is this is going to be talked about for a while and going by the track record of Vijay TV, they will cash in on this by re-telecasting this episode many times.

Hello Karthik,
I need some suggestions on ISB.
Would you mind clearing few of my queries on ISB, as I am looking at joining the course next year for which I will be quitting my job here in London.
Cheers,
Tarun
