KBC 2 is racy and spicy. The Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, for starters, has a hipper atmosphere with AB wearing the rapper's hat and his attire --- courtesy a top fashion designer --- transformed from aristocratic to hip-hop.
What adds to the excitement is, of course, the doubled prize money that stands at Rs. 20 million. What's more, this time round Bachchan will pose a question in every episode right in the beginning for KBC viewers who could not reach the Fastest Finger First (FFF) or the Hot Seat.
The viewers have to rush in their answers either through the MTNL/BSNL landline or an Airtel number. This has to be done a few minutes before Bachchan reveals the answer of the said question just before the episode ends.
Wicker Park
On STAR Movies Saturday at 7:00 pm
Starring Josh Hartnett, Rose Byrne and Matthew Lillard
Intricately stepping back and forth in time and revealing the story from each character's perspective, WICKER PARK is an intense story about a man (John Hartnett) caught in an obsessive search for a woman he fell deeply in love with -- a woman who then vanished without a trace.
Two years after her disappearance, he catches a fleeting glimpse of her in a local bar and begins a search to find her and discover what really happened. In the course of tracking down his lost love, he is caught up in an affair with a secret admirer (Rose Byrne) who has assumed counterfeit identity.
The man's best friend (Mathew Lillard) unwittingly becomes the corner of a love triangle with this pretender. "This is a smart movie, full of astonishing reverses and switchbacks, and it adroitly walks the thin line between too clever by half and not clever enough by three-quarters." -- Stephen Hunter, WASHINGTON POST
