Sahara's singing a duet
Rachit Gupta
First it was about finding a Bathroom Singer, now it is about looking at a singing pair with Jjhoom India, a show that pits celebrities with singers to perform duets

iding on the wave of reality themes and singing contests, television in 2007 has been the playground of musicians from the silver screen. You name them and they've been a part of some or the other reality show, either as participant, host or jury. Every major channel has its brand of reality TV singing, but Sahara had an interesting variation in the format, called Bathroom Singer. Interestingly, it had ordinary people with not-so-good voices singing Hindi film songs. The primary thought behind the show was to be different and make it fun. Well, Sahara has stepped up to the dais again. It's another reality singing competition that pairs up a TV celebrity with an established singing talent, which makes up the ten contesting jodis, and there is a three- member jury as well and then there is the handsome duo of hosts. Sounds all too familiar, but what sets it apart from others is that it draws on its own Bathroom Singer and tries to be fun.

The line-up of participants includes tie-ups like Shweta Tiwari with Suresh Wadkar, Sharad Kelkar with Vaishali Samant, Varun Badola with Akriti Kakar, Roshni Chopra with Vinod Rathod, Mrinal Kulkarni with Sudesh Bhonsle, Shama Sikander with Zubin Mehta, Sachin Tyagi and Madhushree, Shekhar Suman with Sanjeevani, Chhavi Mittal with Jatin Pandit and finally Apara Mehta with Parthiv Gohil. The jury includes stalwarts like veteran music director Anandji, Shabana Azmi and renowned filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. Upcoming singer Rahul Vaidya and TV actress Sucheta Khanna are the hosts for Jjhoom India.

The incredible amount of talent on the show adds to Jjhoom India's credit. The singing talent on the show's roster includes names that are well-established in the art of music and singing in Hindi cinema. The show is produced and directed by Optimystix, a company that's handled Indian Idol 1 and Bathroom Singer. Club that with the great jury on board and Jjhoom India really seems like a unique reality TV prospect. Sanjiv Sharma CEO and Chairman, Optimystix was upbeat and confident about the show's format. "Jjhoom India is a concept that we have adapted from a popular show Just The Two Of Us that had a similar format. It's worked before and we know for a fact that with the line-up we have our show will be a rocking success."

In the evening that was to introduce the show's contestants to the world, members of the jury endorsed the idea of reality shows allowing fresh talent to come to the fore. Although she wasn't present in person, Shabana Azmi was quoted as saying that "Shows like Jjhoom India are so exciting because they give creative people a chance to prove their mettle. Any talent can succeed only if they have tug on to their resources with all their might and dedication. Jjhoom India promises to give its participants the same opportunity."

Seemanto Roy, Entertainment Head of SaharaOne was of the opinion that Jjhoom India would emulate the success of Sahara's previous reality shows like Biggest Loser Jeetega and Bathroom Singer. "Our shows have yielded unprecedented popularity and TRPs, and ratings suggest that Sahara's reality shows achieve success. Jjhoom India will take our success to a newer level," said Roy. With so much on their side the channel can well be confident that their new show would do well. But, the absence of nine participants at the show's launch event does not go down well with the reputation of a channel as big as Sahara. Call it lack of discipline or anything else, absent celebrities might have to pay up to Sahara bosses solely for the fact that according to sources, participants of Jjhoom India would receive pay cuts if they failed to show up at events and rehearsals.


Nonetheless, Jjhoom India looks refreshing and Sahara's hopes will be pitted on the show's success to cash into some much needed TRP boosts. Whether the show outdoes any of its competitors is a thing of the future.
