Nach Baliye....10/10

Getting mind off cricket, Nach Baliye was refreshing, the grand finale is a harbinger for a better and more professional show in future. There was some sheen taken off the grand finale with obvious champions in waiting, Varun & Rajeshwari getting eliminated in the penultimate round. Varun & Rajeshwari were the most inventive, entertaining and graceful performers. Their choreographer was really a class act, having conjured innovative acts, brilliant steps and should have walked off with a trophy fpr the best choreographer like they were awarded to best male & female performers of the eliminated contestents. Anyway it doesn't matter...i agree with Varun he was single handed more brilliant that rest nine put together and we will be hearing more often of him.

A lesson for future performers in this show, while the judges look for chemistery/ biology/ dance/whatever...the fact remains that the audience seeks entertainment. Wonderful, wholesome entertainment was provided by Varun & Rajeswari, Archana & Parmeet and of course Sachin & Supriya...The best dancer on the show was Apoorva Aghinotri, and he will be the first to admit that the x-factor on this show was entertainment...that could be the only reason audience voted him out.

Poonam & Manish never looked deserving to make it to the finals...but boy, their final performance was absolutely great, a good few notches better than Sachin & Supriya, tough luck to them that the audience didn't heed judges advice to base their votes on the performance of the day.

Finally...it would do well to keep the speeches short in the end, a lot of mumbo, jumbo and glibbrish was indulged into...Varun scored a perfect 10 on this count too...he kept it really neat and brief.

To the developers of this show...three cheers..."Nach baliye" That's entertainment...when does the next season start?
