Team, one of the only things I watch on TV are some of these music programs. I in fact look forward to it.
This particular season there’s something missing that almost makes me wonder if I should keep watching this. Foremost, this doesn’t feel like a competition at all. It feels like a celebration of sorts so much so that it’s been so many months this is running and I don’t know half the participants yet because I hear them sing lesser than I would in the other seasons. Every episode seems to have a theme and not all participants perform to that theme. Some participants have gone on with Kirtan and others have gone on with rock and their versatility is missing. If it’s a rock episode let everyone sing that. If it’s classical let everyone perform to that and if it’s a regional one, let everyone perform in that genre . There’s a lot more frills in this season than substance. I am sure just like me others have their opinions too and they might be liking it more than I do but I love music shows and this one for me misses the mark by miles. In sharp contrast, your earlier seasons were remarkably better with the quality of participants and music being way better. I wonder what the mentors role is like Raghav Chatterjee etc who seem to have a much lesser role this season. The kids on the same platform with the senior group is a strict no for me. If I wanted to see the kids compete I would watch a separate show for that. Nothing against the kids but I would see them in a separate show. Since they’re kids I see the judges almost being compelled to be patronising. Also the golden guitar is trivialised this season with almost every one getting one. Judges should encourage but this season they are overtly patronising. I hope you look at this seriously and look at elevating the quality of the program. Like one of the viewers have said - ebar khajnar che bajna beshi mone hochhe. Slightly disappointed this season. Zee Bangla
The elite panel of judges Shantanu Moitra, শ্রীকান্ত আচার্য - Srikanto Acharjo and The Richa Sharma might now consider getting a little more technical in their judgment. It’s been quite a while now and I feel the season hasn’t picked pace at all. There have been instances where a stalwart like Pandit Ajay Chakraborty touched a kid’s feet to encourage him. I understand he did it to encourage the kid but did we take it too far? The kids’ performances though good, have now a sense of predictability. I can’t remember the last time a kid performed and did not get a golden guitar. Hence my recommendation that we can celebrate their talent but on a different platform. If I’m observing it (have been in love with your earlier seasons) I am sure the others are seeing this too and I hope it gives you some food for thought
