India could also be dwelling to many actuality exhibits, nonetheless, there’s no selection in codecs. Aspiring abilities are principally competing in singing or dancing exhibits. And then in 2009, taking a cue from the unique Britain’s Got Talent, Colors launched India’s Got Talent. For the primary time, every kind of expertise had been on the identical stage, with the factors to entertain and impress. Having aired eight profitable seasons on the channel, this yr the present shifted base to Sony TV. So what did Colors do subsequent? It launched its personal talent-based present — Hunarbaaz with the identical format however totally different judges.
Both exhibits launched in fast succession and airs back-to-back on tv. India’s Got Talent is at 8 pm on Sony TV whereas Hunarbaaz takes the 9 pm slot on Colors. Having watched the primary episode of each the exhibits, right here is our evaluation.
Judges:
India’s Got Talent has the higher hand as they’ve the ‘OG’ choose Kirron Kher. Her candy but strict character provides the much-needed drama to the present. While she encourages contestants, addressing them as ‘beta’, she gained’t hesitate to name them ‘crazy’ (When one contestant tried to make use of the drilling machine on his face). On the opposite hand, Shilpa Shetty and Badshah look like children at a sweet store. However, Manoj Muntashir, the least standard choose on the panel, appears to be like like an entire misfit. Neither does he have the attraction to attach with contestants nor add any worth by way of judging expertise. Wish the makers had caught to simply three judges.
Coming to Hunarbaaz, because the hosts launched the ‘ameer judges’, Karan Johar enters flaunting his worldwide manufacturers. While we had been excited to see Parineeti Chopra as a choose, it was a complete turn-off when she talked about how she was on the present to discover a groom. As already seen within the promo, the entire season will give attention to Ok Jo making an attempt to play matchmaker. Why can we nonetheless want this buffer humour in a expertise present? Lastly, there’s Mithun Chakraborty along with his personal swag and new takia kalam ‘kya hunar, kya hunar, kya hunar’.
Verdict: As far as judges are involved, our vote goes to India’s Got Talent, solely due to Kirron Kher.
Host
While Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa have our coronary heart and smiles, do gear as much as see their being pregnant getting the highlight this season. Makers have already set the stage for the primary ‘pregnant anchors’ on Indian tv and most content material will revolve across the identical. On the opposite hand, Arjun Bijlani, being his typical ‘host’ self, is nice, humane and relatable. However, the primary episode didn’t have a lot of Arjun however we are able to’t wait to see his banter with Kirron Kher.
Verdict: Arjun Bijlani is kind of a tremendous host however nobody can beat Bharti-Haarsh’s candidness.
Talent
India’s Got Talent in its first episode showcased extra selection by way of performances as in comparison with Hunarbaaz. Also, that they had extra spectacular acts. While Sony TV hosted standard band Euphony, the Colors’ actuality present roped in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs winner Hemant Brijwasi and his brothers as a band.
Verdict: Overall each exhibits had a superb mixture of contestants and we are able to’t wait to see what lies forward.
Emotional Quotient
We all know actuality exhibits right this moment are principally about tear-jerking moments than actual expertise. Both exhibits had contestants sharing their emotional tales. In India’s Got Talent, a dancer spoke about how her husband and in-laws have chosen to desert her if she doesn’t go away dancing. However, there have been no breakdowns on the opposite facet of the desk because the judges, particularly Kirron Kher, tried to speak sense into her. As for Hunarbaaz, Parineeti Chopra’s emotional facet was showcased a number of occasions as she received all teary-eyed in regards to the struggles of the contestants.
Verdict: Given there was a lot tears within the first episode, each exhibits get a dismissal score.
Entertainment
India’s Got Talent didn’t embrace any antics for laughs and centered totally on the acts. The inventive crew centered on the chemistry between the judges and that’s fairly a deal with to look at. Be it Kirron Kher calling Shilpa and Badshah ‘badly behaved’ judges to seeing their over-enthusiasm to her humorous feedback, it’s all value your time. Sample this: After a lady showcased a ‘hair ariel’ act, Kirron mentioned that if she continues to do that, she’s going to quickly grow to be like Anupam Kher.
To add extra laughter and drama, Hunarbaaz hosted a number of ‘funny contestants’ too on the present. Be it a lady looking for a task in Karan Johar’s movie to a ‘thookbaaz’ whose expertise was in spitting. However, not all of the methods hit the bull’s eye. However, the general vitality on the present is kind of excessive, making it a pleasant watch.
Verdict: Not to any present, our vote goes to simply Kirron Kher.
Overall, each exhibits have their very own strengths. With their totally different timeslots, the exhibits will discover their very own fan following. While India’s Got Talent has the higher hand of familiarity and constant viewers, Hunarbaaz brings freshness by way of vitality. Do tell us which one is your decide.
