Devica,

Hi...😃

The television industry is all about entertainment, right??...people get entertained, hence they watch...hence advertisers hover around the producers of hit shows...n hence the shows go on...

Now, what exactly is ENTERTAINMENT??...TV is entertainment...n acc to me, comedy, horror, romance, drama, saas bahu nok jhok, dance, reality shows all entertain, n hence they have a slot on television...

SAjId khan is obviously under false beliefs that entertainment & comedy are synonyms....they are NOT!!...a dance can most definitely be very entertaining without an iota of comedy...I may be a sucker for singing, but imagine the mayhem I will cause if I land up as a judge on a comedy show, n judge contestants on their ability to sing!!...ridiculous, na????...😆...same thing applies to SAjId ...every time Rahul/Dimpy or Arvind/Nilu do their comedy acts, all 3 judges are busy DOUBLING up laughing n giving *hi5s* to each other 😆: how will they be able to appreciate the nuances of the dance going on in front of them??...n frankly, apart from the initial couple of acts by Rahul, none of Rahul or Arvind's acts have been so funny...

Maybe an extra mark for something like the X-Factor, but frankly, nothing beyond that for comedy in a dance show, if u ask me...n the judges ought to realize that the contestants here are established tv celebrities...i dont believe that SP n the PH are responsible for the insults that SAjId unloads on the contestants...he is so full of himself, his banner, his films (🤢) , I'm sure it must be difficult for the PH to handle him...what I fail to understand is "why are the contestant ants putting up with this kind of demeaning, disgraceful & insulting behavior by SAjId ??????!!!?!?!!!"

{ps:have u seen JDJ with KJ as judge??...he is probably a million times bigger than SAjId as a director,( n his films ACTUALLY entertain 😆) but I don't think I remember a single moment when he was nasty with the contestants }



I remember some TV show in mid/late nineties where Sajid used to wear angel/devil costume, and take digs at all the celebrities. He was super annoying then too.

Sajid's definition of entertainment has yet to be written in Oxford dictionary, because it hasn't been invented yet 😆 His idea of entertainment is contradictory, contrived, and self boasting. Man, I thought Anu Malik was unpredictable, but Sajid outsmarts him.

@Sajid Khan - Yes I agree that there is nothing that funny in the comedy dances. In fact they are they are the most boring to watch and except for judges, no one else is laughing so much. But then that's the way the show is presented. Even Terrence is laughing so much at God knows what's so funny about it. Shilpa is anyways always giggling (so annoying). Shows are always over the top. No doubt Sajid Khan is egoistic and I have not had the courage to watch any of his films fully but then why was he chosen a judge over so many other 'deserving' judges. That's a question the channel and production house will have to answer. Don't they know what he is? Then who decides what audiences want?

@ KJ, Madhuri Dixit are maybe too expensive and NB5 must not be able to afford them. NB5 always had judges that were lame like Kunal Kohli or David Dhawan or even Esha Koppikar

@voting... That's so very true. I've never voted for any contestant in any show either. But I know friends who invest their time and money to vote. A friend of mine spent 10K to vote for Hitesh-Rumpa (Perfect bride) These channels are just exploiting their devotion/obsession to their favorite contestants.

@Missed call... I still don't understand how the channel guys profit from missed calls. Since, I don't live in India, I am assuming if there is some kind of ad campaign instead of ringtone, when someone calls them.

@Dances... I watched some videos of other shows when members here started posting about similar concepts done in other shows. It's the same dance, the same concept, and the same non-dancers, but the presentation is elegant, without weird camera angles, or flashing judges' reactions every few seconds. We know that Sajid gives not-so-pleasant expressions, but that doesn't mean we want to watch him instead of dance. It is so distracting.


Ya agree editing sucks big time. In fact the whole show needs overhauling.

@Sajid being partial... We don't live in an idealistic world. There is always someone who has secured a place they don't deserve to be. Neelu-Arvind just got lucky, but to their credit, they are hardworking and most lively when they dance. They don't look like they have seen a ghost, or just out of bed (not mentioning the names and avoiding confrontation 😛 😆 )

I have a strong suspicion that Arvind has grabbed some assignment on Star plus maybe Comedy circus. But yes to their credit, despite their limitations they have been good to watch. Their choreographer is very smart too 😊
I know I am nitpicking, but being in a similar field is helping me learn how not to screw up things.. 😛
😆

NB5 is surely learning experience 😛
