Jay Hind! goes International two days before ‘World's End’ with BLTN

May 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Mumbai, May 16, 2011: Reinstating their stronghold in the entertainment industry by being the World’s first full format TV show online, Jay Hind! - is now headed towards creating history yet again. Starting May 19th, 2011, one episode each month would be completely in English, loaded with international content making headlines worldwide. This progress is aimed at extending its approximate 75 million strong followers to the English speaking countries across the globe. It is set to become the World's First GLOBALocal Late Night Show!

Set to grab eyeballs with its very first international episode, BLTN will commence with a subject which has become a household discussion and is spoken at national/international confluences likewise – World's End! In the first ever humorous take on this prediction, Jesus Christ, the Pope, show anchor Sumeet Raghavan & US Preacher Harold Camping who’s predicted the WORLD's END on May 21st, 2011 will be seen in the ultimate showdown set to have viewers in splits!

Harold Camping is the president of Family Radio, a California-based religious broadcasting network that spans more than 150 outlets in the United States. According to him, at about 6 pm on May 21st, 2011, 2 per cent of the world's population will be immediately “raptured" to Heaven; the rest will get sent straight to the Other Place. After 70 years of studying the Bible, he claims to have developed a system that uses mathematics to interpret prophesies hidden in it. He says the world will end on May 21st, 2011 because that will be 722,500 days from 1 April AD33, which he believes was the day of the Crucifixion. The figure of 722,500 is important because you get it by multiplying three holy numbers (5, 10 and 17) together twice.

Abhigyan Jha, Creator & Director of Jay Hind! and Founder & CEO of Undercover Productions Ltd. says, “We decided to go international after incessant demands from our fans across the globe. Jay Hind! being an internet show has helped us reach out to viewers in countries which satellite channels can never imagine reaching. The international episodes will be called BLTN (pronounced Bulletin), an acronym for ‘Better Late Than Never’, and it is fitting that the first episode is a parody on the end of the world. This is also the World's first truly international late night show, another feather in the cap for the Jay Hind! team.”

Sumeet Raghavan, anchor of Jay Hind! says, “I’ve never done a full show in English before. This is yet another first-of-its-kind experience thanks to my association with Jay Hind! Though we do use a mix of Hindi, English and other Indian languages on the show, the International episode will be exclusively in English which I’m totally looking forward to!”

Jay Hind! has registered mind boggling views of over 75 million views in just over 1 year and 9 months of its launch. The twice-a-week Late Night Comedy Show has recorded an average of 1.5 lakh views per day. A contemporary and edgier version of the iconic Movers & Shakers, by its very makers, Jay Hind! is a breakthrough in online entertainment. Launched on August 15th, 2009 the show is watched by fans from places as far apart as Uganda and USA. The highly appealing content of the show and the user friendly online medium has struck a chord with the audience.

Jha adds, “Jay Hind! is not only the world’s first full format online TV show but also the first HD and 16:9 format show in India. We’re close to completing 2 years and 200 episodes soon. There were many others who tried to duplicate our model but failed. That we have withstood the test of time is testimony to our success & popularity with the audience. And now BLTN will be The World's First GLOBALocal Late Night Show!”

New shows are uploaded at 10:10 pm every Monday and Thursday on www.jayhind.tv
