Dus mashoor jodiyan, ek anokhi jung!
Here are ten married couples, all from the tele-world, none of whom,
are professional dancers. But then, they will compete in a dance-off
every week and the winners will be crowned the Nach Baliye Champions!
Get ready for Nach Baliye, starting this October on STAR One. A show that brings two unique things to Indian television:
1. The competition between real- life couples
2. The participants competing on a skill, they are not known for.
The overriding concept is to show the nation's favourite bahu-damaad or saas-sasur
in a new light, as themselves, in their non screen avatars and with a
weakness which nearly every couple in the country can relate to - the
dancing prowess!
Hosted by Shabir Ahluwalia and Sangita Ghosh, the show will air for ten weeks, Tuesday to Thursday, 9 PM on STAR One.
Show Structure:
Studio Episode: On Thursdays. The couples will perform on the fabulous sets of Nach Baliye that will be jointly judged by the panel of celebrity judges and also by television viewers across the country!
Reality Episodes: On Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Takes you through the rehearsals and challenges that the celebrity couples face, with some exciting candid peek into their personal lives, careers, marriages, relationships, etc...
Week 2 onwards, the lowest scoring couple will be eliminated. And in Week 10, the final - two remaining couple will compete for the winner's title in the Mega Finals!
The process:
The celebrity couples will undergo an extensive training process for 6 weeks prior to the telecast of the first episode on air. The training is for the performances that will be made by the celebrities during the telecast weeks.
Each couple will be assigned a separate Choreographer, who will help tune them to the dance routine. They will also have a Costume Designer to suit their specific needs for the performances. All the practice sessions, technical sessions, and home tidbits will form a part of the reality series of the show and will thus help in creating personalities!
It is all about watching your favourite celebrities letting their hair down, being 'normal' and sporting enough, to compete in an area that will provide the basis for an endearing and watchable hit show!
