Mumbai September 11, 2008: This October, NDTV Imagine introduces television audiences to a fresh new concept full of fun, laughter and loads of masti. India’s favourite funny man returns to TV with a new show of his own with new jokes, titled ‘Raju Hazir Ho’. This weekend show promises to be a laugh-a-minute riot that is characterised by Raju’s own brand of humour.
Set in the backdrop of a Café, Raju Hazir Ho captures a new side to Raju, who plays host to his friends from the entertainment world. The show with Raju’s observational humour, mimicry and humorous acts, will revolve around a special theme. Each weekend, Raju will invite two very special guests to join him on his very own show. They come together to present their unique take on life and on the theme of the week from festivals, cricket, the filmy duniya to the state of Indian television today, neighbours, in- laws, marriage and many more! Raju’s bag full of impersonations and new rib-tickling jokes are some of the many USP’s of the show.
