This is a very good show with the host challenging ( or rather daring) ordinary men and women on the street to perform some very spectacular stunts. For example, jumping down from the top of the shopping arcade, breaking a solid granite-tile with one karate-blow, etc. The show is a definite credit to the people - especially women of Australia.

Great 5 minutes of crash TV
2 February 2000
This is a show designed to capture the attention of even the most die-hard channel surfer.The car chases, actual crashes, real shoot-outs etc make for compelling television - but only for some five minutes. Fact is, if you have seen one episode, you have seen them all. Even though you still get the occasional great pay-off like seeing an army *tank* chase This show could be far, far better served if the concerned broadcast channel used it as five minute filler material between its regularly programmed shows.

A great idea well executed
27 January 2000
English speaking Bong Agastya Sen is transplanted to a small town in AP and discovers to his shock that he is very much like a foreigner in his own country when taken out of his social mileu. The director has done a brilliant job of cutting out the self-indulgent, boring introspective prose present in the novel. He has cleverly disguised the fact that nothing much really happens plot-wise with the aid of some very nifty editing and I guess a 'slice of life' narrative structure. The soundbites (and pretty insightful ones at that) found throughout the movie really make the movie something special. All the actors are extremely competent and have been perfectly casted. Much, much better than the "Bombay Boys" , the "Hyderabad Blues", the "Rockfords" of this world. Hope "Split Wide Open" is just as good.
