Season 4 disappointed with favouritism and unnecessary gimmicks by makers

Season 4 Review

Dance is something I love as much as movies or series. Even though today's dance world has shifted toward acrobatics and pure circus acts, I still enjoy these reality shows for my sheer love of dance as an art form. Also, working in media, I follow these shows to understand the business.

This is the 4th season of this show, and Terence Lewis and Geeta Kapoor returned as judges. Karishma Kapoor joined them on the judging panel, making her debut on the small screen. I was initially skeptical about this choice, only to be proven wrong as she brought heart, joy, and a refreshing lack of pretension, despite her film lineage and past successes.

The contestants this season were strong, giving their all to win the title. The producers deserve credit for adding variety to the audition episodes with the "Mauka - Chauka" concept. However, the best six in each episode receiving special seats felt unnecessary, and the makers eventually scrapped the idea after a few episodes. The extra point battles also seemed designed to favor certain contestants.

This season saw fewer eliminations, as some contestants had to drop out due to injuries. The wild card entry introduced two weeks before the finale was perhaps the show's most questionable decision. It felt unfair to both current contestants and those already eliminated. Although it's understandable to fill a 90-minute slot, some of these gimmicks, especially the last-minute wild card, were unnecessary.

Last season's contestant, Aniket Chauhan, was given a chance to host this year, which was a fantastic decision, as he brought the same grace to hosting as he does to dancing. However, after a few episodes, he seemed sidelined, possibly because Jay Bhanushali felt insecure. The Grand Finale editing was one of the worst I have watched in recent past. There were hell lot of continuity issues, celebrities were magically appearing and disappearing, contestants dress was changing continuously, Urvashi Rautela disappeared from the show etc. Even the main finalists acts were pre recorded that it killed the vibe.

Overall, this season was interesting, particularly with some innovative dance sequences, especially from choreographers Prateek, Shubhranil, and Pankaj Thapa. While Steve ultimately won, which seemed like a predictable outcome as the show was biased right from start towards him. Harsh Kesari appeared to be the more deserving winner for the versatility he showed.

Nevertheless, it's a show worth watching if you love dancing.

The reality TV genre, short for "reality television," features real-life situations, events, and interactions, often involving ordinary people rather than actors performing scripted roles. Reality TV shows aim to capture unscripted and authentic moments, providing viewers with a glimpse into various aspects of human life, behavior, and experiences.
