Good afternoon
Producer Dinesh Bansal (of Meteor Films) must be quite happy now. Probably that's why he's off on a month long holiday to London. While his sitcom Ghar Jamai which recently was shifted to the Sa Re Ga Ma slot is going strong, his other serial Chingari hit the airwaves (Zee) on Friday (2 pm). The afternoon slot seems quite dicy especially since it's on a private channel which caters mainly to the metros. It's being directed by Chander Behl who had earlier directed Inteqaam, Sinhaasan for Bansal and it stars Girish Malik, Anang Desai, Ananth Mahadevan, Jaya Mathur, Dharmesh Tiwari, Vaishnavi, Babloo Mukherjee and Arish Bansal (who happens to be Dinesh Bansal's nephew).

Singing cricket
Cricket, Cricket. As the countdown begins the cricket fever is rising and everyone around is eating and sleeping cricket. Zee Music (the audio company of Zee Network) has come up with an album called `It's my game' which has eight catchy numbers composed by Ashutosh Pathak and Dhruv Ghanarkar of Bombay Boys fame and sung by Bhaudeep and Rags. It has some really peppy numbers like `Cricket mein hai everything', Jeet ke lana hai, Sachin Hamara which are quite inspiring. The album was launched last week in Nepal where the Seniors tournament was being played. Pakistani spinner Abdul Qadar released and presented the cassette to Zee, CEO Vijay Jindal.
