We have three performances in the first episode-

Get ready to witness the first performance wherein the boys pay tribute to our great freedom fighters which will move both audience and judges to tears and gain them a standing ovation and also the girl's brilliant performance which garners them a high score. Little Sparsh performed with her injured leg and in return she got a standing ovation from the audience and the three judges. Vaibhavi Mercahant was praised by saying 'Choti you danced not with your legs but with your mind..."In this episode you will get to watch a speechless Rakhi as our contestants and judges reveal secrets about themselves that nobody knows…

We spoke to Mukti Mohan about the performance of the girl's team, she said, "It was an amazing episode I must say, and before the performance, I was very nervous since it was my first reality dance performance but I just concentrated on my dance and the most amazing thing was that Vaibhavi ma'am noticed my performance and told me you are hot."

Later, we also get in touch with Angad Hasija who told us, "Our performance was good and we got good remarks from all the three judges but I don't remember what they told me…"

The result of the first episode was that girl's team turned out to be the winner's. So Don't miss Zara Nachke Dikha Boys v/s Girls only On Star Plus this May 1st, Saturday and Sunday 9:00pm.

Size doesn't matter. The smaller; the better. This has been amply proved by unheralded little kids from Dance India Dance L'il Masters (Zee TV) and Chak Dhoom Dhoom (Colors) who have put their erstwhile TV stars of Zara Nachke Dikha to shame.

The three dance reality shows made their debut last week, and all of them air at prime time on their respective channels. Zee TV's DID L'il Masters has emerged as the clear winner clocking a TVR of 6.7 for its inaugural episode. This not only makes it the top show (fiction and non-fiction) for the TAM week 18 (April 25 to May 1), but it's the biggest opening for any show in the last three years. Interestingly, the preceding Dance India Dance finale could only muster a rating of 5.

Colors' Chak Dhoom Dhoom drew a TVR of 4.4 while, Star Plus' celebrity reality show Zara Nachke Dikha could only muster a TVR of 2.4. (Though, it must be noted that Zara.. airs on Saturday and Sunday whereas its two competing shows air on Friday and Saturday)

While it will be too early to write off Zara Nacke Dikha, the success of the two juvenile shows clearly indicate that the viewers are longer warming to the celebrity dance reality shows, where talent often takes second place to controversy and other theatrics. We've already seen the first casualty when Mohit Sehgal and Sanaya Irani were found wanting as hosts, and subsequently replaced by Jennifer Winget and RJ Mantra.

Rakhi Sawant proudly claimed that she'll create history at Zara Nachke Dikha. The out-of-favour drama queen should now pray that the show picks up in the coming weeks or else, she'll be confined to history.


Meanwhile, the final of Indian Premier League 3 between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings clocked a staggering TVR of 10.5 (All India market).

The top ten shows across Hindi GECS is as follows –

L'il Masters - 6.7, Pavitra Rishta 6.0, Uttaran 5.9, Na Aana Is Des Laado 4.9, Jhansi Ki Rani 4.8, Pratigya 4.7, Bidaai 4.7, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai 4.5, Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo 4.4, Chak Dhoom Dhoom 4.4

Colors has regained the number spot with 288 GRPs, Star Plus is just two GRPs less, while Zee TV drops to third spot with 279 GRPs.
