The much-loved celebrity dance reality show in its first week had its share of wow moments, deja vu and letdowns.
Let’s start with what we liked this season has an interesting mix of contestants with popular TV stars such as Ashish Sharma, Karan Tacker, Mouni Roy and Kritika Kamra. Entertainers like Andy, Akshat and Kiku Sharda (in his Palak avatar) will keep the interest levels high. This season is also more experimental with its concepts and the audiences will get to see performances at outdoor locations. The ‘jhooter’ or lie detector is a fun element too. The judges will use them when they feel that the contestants are trying to butter them up! Having Salman Yusuf Khan and Lauren Gottileb come up with challenging acts for the contestants will surely keep the standards high.
While we liked the makeover of judges Remo D’souza and Madhuri Dixit (Remo’s look is more stylised and Madhuri is seen wearing more Western outfits), we wish KJo had experimented with his wardrobe too and ditched the black tux. Also, we couldn’t help but notice Madhuri’s innerwear playing a little peek-a-boo. The cameras zooming in didn’t help matters either.
We surely miss Manish Paul and Kapil Sharma’s repartee as hosts on the show and hope that Ranveer Shorey and Drashti Dhami charm us in the upcoming episodes. While Ranveer is quite the funny man, Drashti looks like she could do with some mentoring. We hope that Sudesh Lahiri who has been particularly roped in for comic relief makes us laugh too.
