Battle of the Khans

Come June, and the two superstar Khans are going to fight it out on the small screen - and the excitement is bound to reach its peak. Here's a comparison of SRK's 'Paanchvi Paas' with Salman's maiden television venture, 'Dus ka Dum'. It's going to be the 'Bad boy of Bollywood' Vs the 'Baadshah' in your living rooms!

Going by the numbers at least, Shahrukh Khan's 'Paanchvi Paas' is facing tough competition from 'Dus ka Dum' and it looks like Salman might not have to work too hard to catch up with.

'Paanchvi Paas' opened with a TRP of 3.37 as compared to his 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' that had opened with a TRP of a whopping 9.3 in 200. Blame it on SRK's over-exposure at IPL matches, or the show clashing with the IPL excitement, but 'Paanchvi Paas' has failed to hit the right notes at the right time.

This could only gain a few brownie points for Salman Khan whose maiden TV show is tentatively scheduled to hit the small screen on June 2, the day the IPL matches come to an end.Salman Khan's 'Dus ka Dum' has been strategically placed between 9 pm and 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

SRK's show meanwhile, is aired every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8 pm to 9 pm. With a prize money of 10 crore rupees on 'Dus ka Dum' - double the amount offered by 'Paanchvi Paas' - Salman's show offeres a bigger bait for the audience as well.

So, while SRK, who has trained Salman to host the game show, is still to pass the exam, watch this space to know if Salman manages to score higher than his mentor...
