It rocked. And it rolled. And, as my mother pointed out, the highest density of dimples that any show in the world can ever claim. Man, the smiles and the dimples were out full force – and if nothing else, I will watch the show to see them, feel good about the world and switch off 🙂 The show – Full of energy. Wit. Charm. A departure from the court culture – and it own overt humility and annoying politeness (get to the point, I wanted to scream ) – to a more modern assertive India, that is to the point, funny and not afraid of taking potshots at sacred cows. From the moment SRK went hip hop with ‘Kar le kar le tu ek sawaal’ dancing out one of the highest energy numbers I have seen on screen for a long time, till the end – he was a hit. I loved his opening bit about the use of shudh Hindi. You almost expected him to say at the end of the babel – excuse me please, my name is anthony gonsalves!! I like his style of questioning – a lot more informal, a lot less end of the world in its demeanor. And I liked his conversations with the contestants – light, friendly and very "hum hai na". If talking like Bachchan was like talking to God (as in the Judeo Christian Islamic mythology) then talking to SRK was like talking to someone from the Greek or the Roman pantheon. Possibly a Pan or even a Cupid. Powerful. Yet accessible. Just a guy from ‘our’ neighbourhood, who has made it big – and hasn’t lost his ability to be ‘one’ of us!. What didn’t i like – I didn’t like the over familiarity. Shoulder massages for contestants is a definitely an ugh point. Mein gale lagna chahta hoon made me cringe. Please, please look at something else. The Aap replaced by a Tum jarred a bit. I kind of like Freeze kiya jaaye. And the hi5’s definitely add to the energy. My parents are hooked. Dad sees the show and smiles. Mom gushes. I look goofy. I guess that he works. The only issue is format weariness. But I guess, not much can be done about that!
