Mock titles

Komal Nahta

If only script writers could be half as imaginative as conjurers of film titles, we'd have a great variety of films made in Bombay.

Here's taking a look at titles received by AMPTPP for registration: Main Namard Nahi, Budha Ghar Pe Hai, Pati Naram Devar Garam and Chikni Chikni Saali Garam Garam Gharwali.

One film company, Saika Art, seems to be besotted with the hit Adnan Sami number, for, it has applied for two titles borrowed from it - Kabhi To Kareeb Aao and Kabhi To Nazar Milao.

Dot com fever seems to have infected the television industry too. Since, someone has applied for a title like www.Hungama.com for a serial.

Super Music & Entertainment seems to have flipped for Karan Johar's under-production Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham so much that it seeks the title for a television serial.

In House Productions, which has several shows on air on Sony Entertaiment Television maybe planning a chat show with the likes of superstar Kamal Haasan. Otherwise, what sense does it make to apply for registering titles like Kamal Ke Saath and The Kamal Hassan Show?

Inspired by Govinda a title that has come up for registration is Serial No. 1!

And inspired by the phenomenal success of Ekta Kapoor's Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi..., Karan Films Intl has sought registration of Budha Bhi Kabhee Damad Tha for a television serial.

Even if Grace Films may have no connection with Vashu Bhagnani, the title it has applied for its serial, bears a striking resemblance to Vashu's last film - Mera Jhadoo (not Jadoo) Chal Gaya.
