Desi Television Circles the Drain... Anytime Now!
Indian Television channels have been feeding unsuspecting audiences with anything other than quality material. Some of the largest production houses have scripts for TV soaps worthy of rear-side rubs. Toilet paper material. Promiscuous sex, family members plotting against each other, horny teens looking for quickies constitute some of the ultimate trash helping being served on a day to day basis. I hate it. It's downright atrocious. And now, for the finale. Get a load of this!
NEW DELHI: US movie giant 20th Century Fox, which has accused Zee Telefilms of plagiarising its tele-serial 24 , Wednesday urged the Delhi High Court to seek Time Bomb CDs for a comparative study of the two serials.
Justice Anil Kumar recorded the submission of RK Anand, appearing for the Fox Film Corp, and ordered that he will pass an appropriate order on the plea Monday. Anand submitted that Zee Telefilms is required to produce all the CDs of its serial shot so far to the court to verify whether it had copied the script, storyline and the characterisation of the telefilm 24 as alleged in the lawsuit.
Arguments by counsel for the Fox Film Corp and Zee Telefilms remained inconclusive. It will be taken up for further hearing on Monday. Earlier Arun Jaitley, former law minister and counsel for Zee Telefilms, submitted that the similarity in presentation techniques in two different films or serials could not be said to be a copyright violation as presentation techniques are borne of advance in technology.
He submitted that the tele-serial produced by his client - Time Bomb - is in continuation of its earlier serial produced in 2001 titled Pradhan Mantri . The new serial had the same artistes and plot as in the earlier serial and dealt with international terrorism, he said.
