Nauvami is the last day of Durga Puja. On this day Ma Durga prepares for her departure after having triumphed the Good over Evil. The mood among devotees is sad. Just when all seems gloomy, Ma Durga gives us a parting gift, RAKHI KA INSAAF, a new ray of hope for the mankind, which will help protect the truth and deliver justice. (Ma Durga please Please PLEASE forgive me for writing the show as Your Gift)
Indian Television has hit an all time low as it decided to copy Jerry Springer Show (which prides itself by being nominated as “the worst show on TV”). The show picks out people, from the lowest strata of the society, having IQ of not more than 60, who are loud and full of drama, having issues related to adultery, divorce, infidelity, inheritance etc and most importantly who are ready to reveal ALL on TV. The show has been a huge success and has been running for several years in USA, despite huge criticism.
I had mentioned that Big Boss satisfies fetish of voyeurism but this show takes this fetish one step further. Not only you enjoy the voyeurism of family secrets of others but also as moral police you get a chance to condemn them. (If you are in studio and lucky enough then you can even slap them or hit them {mar sale ko @$%&}) I am sure Pramod Muthalik would be lending all members of his Sri Ram Sena to this show.
The show could not have had a better host, Rakhi Sawant, the real Ma of melodrama queen (I really burst into laughter when Rakhi said to her guests, “tum to badi hi melodrama queen ho”). The idea is simple if the guests are not providing the melodrama then the host will. I guess the reason Rakhi said yes to this show was to provide budding melodrama queens a launch pad (something that was not available during her “struggling days”). Also via this show she plans to leave behind her prodigies.
Only time will tell if Indian TV is ready for a Jerry Springer Show spin-off but till then enjoy the spice. A small note to people who plan to see this show, have you ever asked your chauffeur or your housemaid or your sweeper what are their problems?
F.N
@ Big Boss – With introduction of Khali in the BB, the show can now give some fight to KBC. Khali has huge fan following specially among children.
@ Master Chef India – its remarkable how the producers of the show add so much of emotions to cookery show.
@ KBC – it seems they are focusing a lot on contestants rather than the game, again thanks to the Indian demand of Emotions and melodrama
