Are the Jhalak Dikhla Ja judges biased?
One has desisted from saying anything about the two popular television dance shows, Jhalak Dikhla Ja and Nach Baliye 2, on Sony and Star One respectively, since one needed to see both before commenting. Since NB2 premiered in week 4 of JDJ and I have seen all the episodes so far, I think it is time.
One, there is no comparison between the two shows. Nach Baliye may have been zeitgeist last year but now it is already looking so, well, last year. And it is all of one episode old! Nothing about the show - last year's winners Sachin and wife as the hosts, the contestants, the clothes sense, or even the signature tune - is appealing. On the basis of the first show, there were only two things good about Nach Baliye 2: Hussain's dance skills, and Tanaaz and Bakhtyar Irani. It clearly sucks otherwise, man!
Sony, in contrast, appears to have hit it right, barring the choice of jury but more on that later. It was a hastily put together show, in order to go one up on NB2, and it showed in the very first episode, and perhaps also in the choice of contestants.
