NachBaliye7: A shoddy mix of Ekta Kapoor's soaps, Splitsvilla, Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi http://dnai.in/cFEx @NayandipRakshit

Nach Baliye has been one of the most loved reality shows in the running for years. While the earlier six editions were high on dance, the makers had attempted a slightly different approach with Nach Baliye 7. And after the first episode was telecast, we can say one thing for sure: the entire format has gone horribly wrong and how!

Over the years, we have seen celebrity judges and real life couples showing their manoeuvres on stage. Fun, frothy and filled with a lot of naach-gaana, the earlier editions of Nach Baliye were far more entertaining than the latest season. Being one of the most ardent fans of the show, it would be an understatement to say I was disappointed.

The opening ceremony left me angry and under whelmed. From the dances to the judges to the anchors, Nach Baliye 7 seems to have nothing working for the show. Seeming like an incomplete, haphazard mix of Bigg Boss, Fear Factor, Splitsvilla and obviously adding to it dollops of Ekta's regular saas-bahu drama, Nach Baliye 7 will leave you offended instead of being entertained.

The new format is far from being interesting or novel as well. The makers have unnecessarily made NB 7 a mish mash of various reality shows, copying several elements from each of the above mentioned reality shows. So, like a Bigg Boss, you have two houses with the contestants performing regular tasks, like Khatron Ke Khiladi. Again, like Splitsvilla, the couples are split into guys and girls and are living in separate houses. Really? Is this a couple dance show? From the look and feel of it, it comes across as a shoddy Bigg-Boss-meets-Splitsvilla-meets-Khatron-Ke-Khiladi.

What? Well, in the rat race of TRPs, channels are battling it out for every single rating point. In a mad survival of the best, Nach Baliye 7 seems to have lost all the energy and entertainment that it was once famous for. Understandably Ekta's brainchild, the change in the format- adding a lot more drama to it (thanks to Chetan Bhagat, who tries desperately to start a feud) and bringing in some insignificant twists and turns- will not work in its favour.

Preity Zinta's bubbly charm too fails to save this almost miserable episode which was more drama and less of dance. Are the makers listening?

AGREED! NOTHING STOOD OUT! Except Marzi, he was actually funny and the only saving grace of the episode.

this per son actually like chethan : bollywoodlife article

http://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/nach-baliye-7-tv-review-chetan-bhagat-impresses-as-a-judge-while-preity-zinta-disappoints/

Here's a review of the first episode of the dance reality show...

Nach Baliye has been one of the most watched reality TV shows in India. A show which is being watched not just by the youngsters but by people across age groups. It has been one of the most watched dance shows not just for the dance performances but for the chemistry between the real-life couples. This season too brings together an assimilation of 11 couples who are there not just to prove their prowess in dance but also their romantic quotient between each other.

5 things that I loved about the show:

-Chetan Bhagat was an absolute delight. For the first time I saw a reality show where the judge was not just saying good things about the contestants but also pointed out their short comings.

-Himmanshoo A Malhotra and Amruta Khanvilkar's performance was brilliant. Out of all the couples, their performance scored 29 points and won immunity from next weeks eliminations.

-The format of the show seems great. This time there will be no public voting till the finale. That way the dance performances will be judged on their dancing ability and not by their fan following.

-Hosts Karan Patel and Rithvik Dhanjani were good. They managed to make you laugh at times and also stood up to the judges whenever necessary.

-The surprises that the makers of the show got was commendable. Whether it was the video messages from parents of Mrunal Thakur and Sharad Chandra or it was Aishwarya Sakhluja's dad's sudden arrival " all was very well timed. It created the necessary emotional quotient, which was necessary in such a show.

5 things I hated about the show:

-Preity Zinta was very lenient as a judge. She was giving 9 points to every contestant and it seemed she was just trying to boost the morale of the contestants.

-Fights between Marzi Pastronji and Chetan Bhagat were fun for the first few times, but later on it became painful. You could make it out that it was scripted.

-The 2.5 hour long duration of the episode was really tiring. Even die hard fans of the show would have got tired and felt like leaving switching over to another show.

-The show's format seems to have been turned into a daily episodic show. It will be aired like Bigg Boss, which isn't that cool. If we did want to see boys and girls stranded inside a house, we would watch Bigg Boss and not Nach Baliye. But the mystery is still not clear about the same. It will be done in tomorrow's episode.

-Some of the dance performances were a bit too mechanical. Many contestant seemed like they were doing PT exercises and they did not enjoy much while performing.
