Nearly three years after its first season, the Indian version of the American series 24 is back. The television network Colors has blocked the primetime slot reserved thus far for Naagin (which will return in October) for theremake of the Fox series that starred Kiefer Sutherland in the title role. Produced by Anil Kapoor’s Rashvan Films, the second season will go on air in mid-July and will see a number of new faces such as Sakshi Tanwar and Ashish Vidyarthi.
While Indian television has been promising a renaissance for a long time, little by way of content has changed. Family soaps continue to rule the roost, extended year after year on the slimmest of storylines. Production values are the pits and the hunt for television ratings points engenders a race to the lowest common denominator. Two of our most popular shows,Naagin and Sasural Simar Ka, are currently being helmed by a snake and a fly, respectively.
The timing is perfect for the second season of Anil Kapoor’s ’24: India’
