Well the disadvantages in signing any contract is that, the contestant will have to abide by the rules that they will only be able to perform for shows or sing for particular stage shows. They will not be allowed to do things as and when they please.
Secondly Sony too has a contract of One Crore Rupees for the winner, it is a contract where the winner will have to do stage shows, and the money that they earn back will be given to them. This will be done every three months. So over a period of 2 years the winner will receive One Crore. 😡
Karunya did not sign the contract which was worth for 27 Lakhs for a period of 2 years, b'cos he knows he will be tied down and not allowed to sing for other composers as Sony will deceide who he will sing for.
Amey, Antara and Meenal have not signed any contract b'cos they are doing a lot of stage shows, so if they sign any contract they will need to follow instructions. 😉
Advantages of signing a contract is if the person gives you a good break,then it is fine 👏 but now the music industry is going at a loss and none of the albums are really doing well. 😡 Hence all the other contestants who are getting offers to sign contracts,are looking into the terms and conditions very clearly b'cos no one wants to be tied down for 2 years. 🤢
