'Paanchvi Pass' goes global

Shah Rukh Khan must be delighted. Even when things of his aren't successful (such as his IPL team), other people will always be willing to publicize his movies or shows.

That is what's happening with Kya Aap Paanchvi pass se Tez Hain (Are you smarter than a 5th grader?) which hasn't received the expected audiences in India. Bulldog Entertainment, who the show is licensed to, is planning to broadcast the show overseas in an attempt to cater to King Khan's NRI (non-resident Indian) base.

Rabnebanadijodi On the 13th of June, it began broadcasting in the UK, followed by the USA, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand and Fiji, among others. The 13th was also a Friday, which made it a very good day to begin the international broadcasting. So fans won't have to wait for the release of Rab ne Bana di Jodi to see their favourite actor.

Fans of the Mohabbatein actor will be delighted to get actual broadcasts of the show instead of relying on YouTube but will still be restricted in participation. The show is restricted to resident Indians only...although the exchange rate makes sure that even winning a crore will not make you a millionaire in your country.
