So after much anticipation the day finally arrived for the first episode of the much awaited Hrithik Roshan's new dance show 'Just Dance'. However, when I finally watched the episode, I've got to say, I was disappointed.
First of all, in the ads and promos of the show it said that the show will start on june 18th, so i was actually expecting the actual show to start today. I wasnt aware at all they were just showing the auditions and the selection process right now. I mean, if that was the case then in the promos they could have clearly stated that starting june 18th they will be showing the auditions and then from so and so date the actual show will air. today was the first episode and today was just half of the Delhi audition. Being that this is supposed to be a show of international level with auditions in other major international cities as well as the entire nation I am going to assume that there will be at least a couple more episodes showing the auditions. There's nothing wrong with showing the auditions on TV, I enjoy the audition process as well. I just wish Star TV was honest about it in the first place because I was literally counting down the days and as soon I woke up today I was constantly reminding my brother 'just dance is starting today', only to be surprised to find out that we weren't given the complete information and that the actual show was not airing today.
Even after I got past that disappointment, there was another one. Especially in the beginning there was way too many unnecessary special effects (that they werent even good quality). It was so obvious that in the beginning when they show Vaibhavi and Farah on stage there was no fan and the part with fans were later added with the help of the computer. It all looked fake. There was a lot of unnecessary acting in the show. They were unnecessary because they took up valuable air time when we could have instead seen some more dances, and plus this is a reality show. Like the part where they showed a girl (an actress for the video, not a real contestant) not getting selected and she comes out of the audition hall all disappointed and going to cry, then she sees hrithik on tv saying that its ok and not to give up and she smiles and gets up. I mean, these things are pretty unnecessary considering that its a reality show. I know its for good reasons, but if such a scenario occurs (and we all know it will occur a lot) then it is the job of the judges and the host to encourage them to not give up. Hearing encouraging words from your idol that you look up to is more effective than a pre-recorded video.
I hope once the actual show starts, the stage won't be as blindingly flashy as it was today. The lightning was too much and way too distracting. But other than that, I liked some of the dances and totally agree with the judges judgement. Vaibhavi totally surprised me (this time its good surprise) with her awesome performance in the beginning on the show. It was great and I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to start watching the actual show and obviously will continue watching it. I hope the show gets better than this episode and I kinda have a feeling that it will. So lets just wait and see.
PS: I wish the judges would stop calling this show the greatest dance show in India. Dude, the show hasn't even started. They've only just started airing the auditions, so like I said before, we still have some time to go before we get to see the real show. Once the show starts, then we the viewers can judge if it really is India's best dance show. However, to make such claims at this stage is very premature. Such a huge title is for the fans and the viewers to judge.
