Just dance!!
My entire weekend was in front of the TV this time. I have watched Just Dance in three languages namely Hindi , Tamil and Malayalam. Believe me when I say that the tamil and malayalam versions of this program were hilarious. Rather than dubbing the program they should have just shown the subtitles in those respective languages. But no they dont do that. They make Farah and Vaibhavi speak in Malayalam and Tamil instead. But while even that was watchable, the worst part was the fake accent they gave to the contestants who had auditioned in London. It reminded one of the ab trimmer exercises in teleshopping where they have foreigners speak in tamil and malayalam.
Speaking of the program itself, while watching it you are aware that there is immense talent in India. But then again most of them were doing locking, crumping , piping , whatever whatever. And everybody seems to have a lot of knowledge about them, But what about our bharatanatyam or our folk dances. A few dancers attempted kathak, lavni and odissi but they were a mere handful. And most of them hopeless. And since when did Michael Jackson become a dance form? With all due respect to the singer, I think its high time we stop encouraging his clones.
Most of these dancers dont have one primary element required of a dancer and that is called grace! Not one of them was graceful in the way they danced. Its like they would jump into acrobatics anytime , so why not call the program dance ka circus like comedy circus. And of the final 21 people who made it only about 5 or 6 could be called really good when you compare them with dancers who came on Dance India Dance. I dont think we should call them best dancers in the world anyways. Hopefully there would be better episodes in the coming weeks as the program seems to be banking only on Hrithik Roshan's charms as of now and some melodrama here and there with contestants crying et al.
