bang on Mira...i think there is some misunderstanding about the whole concept of jhalak with people...just to get the pointers, start counting the basics off your fingers..
1. its strictly for non dancers, if someone was good/bad before the show started its all their credit/discredit.
2. its a dancing show yes, its not a dancing show for judges alone. when a show involves audience voting, it thereby implies AN AUDIENCE OPINION...which by the way, does not imply AN EXPERT OPINION...if as much as 50% weightage is given to public voting, i think the very idea of expecting a thoroughly professional decision is absurd....if thats the kind of justice you are seeking, jhalak possibly is not the show you should be watching at all...its bad for your health, specially your heart if its weak to pressures...pursue the likes od DID which claim professional decisions alone....🤣
3. Reality shows have only one real rule...they are REALITY SHOWS....the decisions of those shows, specially when left to an audience, WILL be dependent upon their opinion of the participating candidates. either you aren't a mere mortal with a human mind...or you dont understand the fact that human opinions vary...the fact that you are a choreo yourself possibly gives you the eye of an expert, it will not ensure the same for everyone who is voting...you can call them biased...you can call them blind fans...i dont think its a reasonable complaint you launch in the first place for a show which claims a 50% on auidnece voting....basically your point, though not completely untrue, is fairly baseless as far as jhalak is concerned....its a whole different concept...the only similarity between DID and jhalak essentially is that they are dance reality shows, thats not enough of a base to compare...if you like the concept of professionalism more, then jhalak shouldnt be your place, not as far as season three at all...i have no clue why anyone would indulge in watching a show they think is utterly unprofessional, baseless and bias ridden....
4....the judges...erm...im going to PRE STATE that im not a professional...not in terms of dancing, but also as a viewer...i watch television with the motive of entertainment alone...but the judges, who for some reason seem very unbiased to you have been rather strange in that respect...unless of course you and i have different definitions to the word BIAS...since you go on to mention the telly guys karan and parul, i should remind you that the two of them, despite at least a handful of stupendous performances have not managed a 30 yet...against of course the likes of bhaichung...erm...i prefer to not mention why i think bhiachung's blindfold performance against karan's was disappointingly stiff and with no stance or posture of a natural dancer...he follows the steps like a rule book, but the vibe of a dance, and glide and poise or a performer is SEVERELY lacking...for the most hes like a puppet made to dance....karan...vaibhavi accurately pointed has the flow of a pro...its like watching no amateurs....
but oh well...i wont sit around gloating about karan...im a fan yes...but im not blind...if gauhar vs parul was your only issue, i think you missed the time karan got a silly score on khuda jaane, a scintillating performance...or the times HK deserved a 30 and didnt get them...or even for a fact all the times bhaichung was cute enough to get a 30, even if not a good enough dancer....
but most importantly, i go back to my point...if you think there's bias, several fans think the same for their stars...the show however rests not on opinions but on voting...as mira said...if you're hell bent upon justice, sit and vote, and promote similar justice...as far as the telly fans are concerned...the show has given the right to them, to be supporting what you call THE UNDESERVING VICTORS!
ps: i'm still surprised why you have bothered yourself with watching 3 seasons of jhalak...its like being ANTI EKTA fan...and watching all her shows so you can spend rest of the time criticisng 5them...a concept i have no real comprehension for...
pps: *no offense of course* you expressed your opinion, i expressed mine!
cheers,
someone you wouldn't care to know about :D
