my point of view about the hosting and the show

When Drashti Dhami came in, I was hoping they were moving closer to the UK and USA versions. Where a man and woman host the show, and very little time wasting get into what happened with the contestants over the week, what they were struggling with in the routine, showing them in practice, then the performance remarks by the judges and the contestants goes behind in the green room with the other contestants and their scores are given to them and they ask for a vote for themselves from audiences at home, and move on to the next one. Also with Maksim coming in as well I did have this in my mind. But they've gone back to last years. I don't want to see that, for me it was always about the dancing of the contestants and not hosts or judges, in fact I hate all of them and I do mind what has happened to Drashti I know they made a lot of fun of her last year and this year also, and she gave a lot of revenue to the show last year too much that has not been appreciated by Jhalak and Colors. So they could have managed with her as a host, without having any farcical comedy just present the show as I have described and let the audience get attached to the contestants and observe them to get to know them, the judges and hosts not to be too prominent and change the show to be like the British and American versions.

The TRP has not been bad whilst Drashti Dhami has been hosting, it's panic by Colors because it's only CNWK and Jhalak giving this TRP and just a sniff or criticism and they minds are closed to anything different only comedy can work that's their mindset, so they've stepped in to ensure that for Jhalak and not for the audience to watch something else, but the TRP didn't dip with her, so their fear is unwarranted.

Secondly, comedy has become the theme of the show. I thought the theme of the show was 'DANCE'. Choreographers are showing contemporary over and over and nobody critiques them about this but if the hosts don't deliver there comic timings/ tickling the funny bones in more than half the show then the show is assumed to be ruined.

Comedy works something. Its nice to have the hosts crack you up sometimes with 'funny' content but not with maligning/ bullying contestants with stupid remarks.

Also, I don't think the format of the show could be like US version of Dancing With The Stars. Nobody tolerates this kind of nonsense over here of hosts doing ridiculous antics just to be funny. People don't find it funny they just find it to be stupid in the US. So I guess they have to tune the show according to how the masses in India would like it but I assert that hosting should be about introducing the contestants in a professional manner, giving them support/ good words of encouragement and then asking the judges for their scores instead of having fun at their expense.
