Watched most of it. These were more the rare exception. Infact one of my friends had video taped much of the good stuff including several natya sangeet broadcasts. > Unfortunately, they also did Chopra's Mahabharat. While rejecting a mindblowing script on B. R. Ambedkar DD sports are broadcasting the 2008 Bejing olympics at 0000 hrs daily. While dishing out crap the rest of the day. suits me fine though.
