With Aap Ki Kacheri, Season 2 coming to an end this week, Star Plus will fill the above vacant 8 pm slot by making Mitwa Phool Kamal Ke, produced by BAG Films which currently airs at the 7.30 pm slot an hourly for nearly two weeks.

This news was confirmed by Nigar Z. Khan, who plays the spicy character of Rajbala in the show. "The fact that STAR has made our caste based show one hour will put to rest all speculation about it not doing well", said she.

There was a buzz that Mitwa might end or be shunted to an afternoon slot due to bad ratings. She further informed that "The story will now take off with the love story of Bela and Birju (lead couple) blossoming, and Rajbala using it to further her own ends."

According to our source, the one hour episodes of Mitwa will not last long and may be replaced by STAR Plus Diwali special. But the latter is some thing which Telly Buzz has not been able to verify independently.

We sent a text message to Nilanjana Puryakastha, Business Head, BAG Films, but she refused to comment.

With the love story of Birju (Mohit Malhotra) and Bela (Tanvi Bhatia) blossoming, the coming track will throw in a threat to their love story, with the entry of few new characters.

Says our source, "A new family will be entering soon, and Bela's family will soon finalize her marriage with the new guy. Till now, the track was focusing on the love story of the protagonists, but now we will get back to the main promise of the show, which involves the cast system. Also, the threat about Birju coming closer to knowing that he belongs to the lower class, and that his parents were killed by the thakurs will loom large".

The new guy to enter Mitwa, and his family have not been finalized though.

Coming to Aap Ki Kachehri – Kiran Ke Saath, this quasi judicial show hosted by Dr. Kiran Bedi which rocked the 10.30 pm slot (Season 1) could not make the same waves at 8 pm. However another source says this was expected, for it ran into competition with Balika Vadhu.

The war between COLORS and STAR will only get stiffer with Super star Amitabh Bachchan being roped in as the Pop Philosopher of Bigg Boss house inmates, which premieres on 4th October at 9pm. Also, Akshay Kumar hosted Fear Factor 2 at the same time slot is presently generating good numbers after opening well.

I really like Kiren Bedi's show...this is not good if they decide to end this show because a lot of people will lose out on getting the justice they deserve in the Indian judicial system.
I sit here in America watching this show and love it. I don't care about the other dramas they put on here. They are all a work of fiction...in real life half of these things DO NOT occur. Watch Kiren Bedi instead of any other show....oh but yeah, KDMHMD is actually interesting right now. Here's hoping they find out that it was the mother who was against Heer the whole time because of Nihaal and Veera. She still does not know that Veera lied about having a miscarriage and that she did an abortion. Only Heer and Prem's dad know the truth.

star now needs shows like"bou katha kau" to get back to its top position.to speak the truth this show along with another show have enabled star jalsa to get no1 spot in the trp charts within months of its airing.nowadays when anyone who comes to kolkata could hear only this show going on in houses and even in the CLUBS ,OFFICES,SHOPS AT 7 om in the evening.it is a really grt show.

SP has lost their mind. The main reason they moved KDMHMD to afternoon slot is because of ekta kapoor. It seems they just don't want to deal with her anymore. Plus i think this channel is so overrated. Besides bidaai they don't have any interesting shows. YRKKLH is so overrrated.
