           Aisa Desh Hai Mera
On SONY SET Thursday at 9-30pm
RUHI lands in PUNJAB to a huge extended family completely hostile to her. Moreover, a culture that is so alien to her that she does not know whether she will survive another day here. We look at PUNJAB and the culture of its landlords who staunchly hold on to their traditional methods of life. We explore PUNJABIYAT, the term, which defines PUNJABI culture in INDIA like never done before.

All chawl people lose their hope and that's the time Bihari enters with stay order. Then Bihari comes to Kumkum and thanks her. Suddenly the mood changes and all are happy.
The Last Samurai
On HBO Movies (India) Thursday at 9-30 pm
Nominated for four Academy Awards® including Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Ken Watanabe, "The Last Samurai" is a well-crafted, poignant period drama set in 19th century Japan. Captain Nathan Algren (Cruise, Mission Impossible 3, War Of The Worlds) is a troubled soldier, haunted by his past. Katsumoto (Watanabe, Memoirs Of A Geisha, Batman Begins) is the last leader of an age-old line of warriors. He seeks the survival of the way of the samurai in the advent of railroads and firearms. The paths of these two fighters clash and spark off a fierce battle.
I Robot
On STAR Movies International Thursday at 7-00 pm
Set in a future Earth (2035 A.D.) where robots are common assistants and workers for their human owners, this is the story of "robotophobic" Chicago Police Detective Del Spooner's (Smith) investigation into the murder of Dr. Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell), who works at U.S. Robotics, in which a robot, Sonny (Tudyk), appears to be implicated, even though that would mean the robot had violated the Three Laws of Robotics, which is apparently impossible. It seems impossible because.. if robots can break those laws, there's nothing to stop them from taking over the world, as humans have grown to become completely dependent upon their robots. Or maybe... they already have? Aiding Spooner in his investigation is a psychologist, Dr. Susan Calvin (Moynahan), who specializes in the psyches of robots.
It's the year 2035, and the community now has the help of robots. These robots have three laws integrated into their system. One, they cannot harm a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, they must do whatever they're told by a human being as long as such orders don't conflict with law one. Three, they have to defend themselves as long as such defense doesn't conflict with laws one or two.
One day, the writer of the three laws, Alfred Lanning, apparently jumps out of the tenth-floor window of U.S. Robotics. The majority of the Chicago Police Department believe that he committed suicide, but Detective Del Spooner (Smith), who hates robots, thinks he was murdered, and the number one suspect is a Nestor Class-5 robot who calls himself Sonny. However, if it was Sonny, then that means he would've had to have broken the three laws. With the help of Dr. Susan Calvin, Spooner must now discover the truth before it's too late.
Angel

On STAR World India Thursday at 5-30 pm
Angel and company brace for the imminent arrival of a hellish beast and toil to stave off Judgment Day. Although the creature's coming was initially revealed through Cordelia, she is unable to dredge up the ghastly specifics about the otherworldly visitor from her spotty memory.
