India's Best Dancer

Season 4 Review

Dance is something I love as much as movies or series. Even though today's dance world has shifted toward acrobatics and pure circus acts, I still enjoy these reality shows for my sheer love of dance as an art form. Also, working in media, I follow these shows to understand the business.

This is the 4th season of this show, and Terence Lewis and Geeta Kapoor returned as judges. Karishma Kapoor joined them on the judging panel, making her debut on the small screen. I was initially skeptical about this choice, only to be proven wrong as she brought heart, joy, and a refreshing lack of pretension, despite her film lineage and past successes.

The contestants this season were strong, giving their all to win the title. The producers deserve credit for adding variety to the audition episodes with the "Mauka - Chauka" concept. However, the best six in each episode receiving special seats felt unnecessary, and the makers eventually scrapped the idea after a few episodes. The extra point battles also seemed designed to favor certain contestants.

This season saw fewer eliminations, as some contestants had to drop out due to injuries. The wild card entry introduced two weeks before the finale was perhaps the show's most questionable decision. It felt unfair to both current contestants and those already eliminated. Although it's understandable to fill a 90-minute slot, some of these gimmicks, especially the last-minute wild card, were unnecessary.

Last season's contestant, Aniket Chauhan, was given a chance to host this year, which was a fantastic decision, as he brought the same grace to hosting as he does to dancing. However, after a few episodes, he seemed sidelined, possibly because Jay Bhanushali felt insecure. The Grand Finale editing was one of the worst I have watched in recent past. There were hell lot of continuity issues, celebrities were magically appearing and disappearing, contestants dress was changing continuously, Urvashi Rautela disappeared from the show etc. Even the main finalists acts were pre recorded that it killed the vibe.

Overall, this season was interesting, particularly with some innovative dance sequences, especially from choreographers Prateek, Shubhranil, and Pankaj Thapa. While Steve ultimately won, which seemed like a predictable outcome as the show was biased right from start towards him. Harsh Kesari appeared to be the more deserving winner for the versatility he showed.

Nevertheless, it's a show worth watching if you love dancing.

A very nice show and overall great quality performances, atleast in Season 1 and 2. Then came Season 3 after which, it was just pathetic. Choreographers who made the show a hit were fired mid season in Season 3 when they complaint about over-shifts. After this point, the show went down the hill and it seemed judges were only acting and praising the contestants on even average performances. Makers' politics ruined an otherwise nice show.

Production value is good though, stages are beautiful, costumes are great but what makes a dance reality show a success is it's contestants, it's choreographers and also it's judges. It lacked the later two in season 3.

Super show me and my family love to watch this reality show. When will the SALMAN KHAN will come on it will be rocking and the duo of SALMAN and SONALI would be mind blowing.

So excited for the show I will give 10/10.

We are watching this reality show from the season 1 and it's quite very good everyone loves to watch this But personally i am waiting for the SALMAN KHAN entry in the super dancer show .

Super show me and my family love to watch this reality show. When will the SALMAN KHAN will come on it will be rocking and the duo of SALMAN and SONALI would be mind blowing.

Hopefully it will be possible this Diwali as TIGER 3 it's on way so it's possible Salman comes for promotion on this show.waiting eagerly.thanks.

Dance show don't need fake romance or over the Top Acting and facial expressions, fake laugh and all specially by Geeta and Terence..thank God Sonali mam is doing fab job as a judge she is on point..Seedhi baat No Bakwaas kind off... This season is big flop since the excellent choreographers like Vartika, Sonali and others left the show don't know why they are running show with such a poor choreography.. And please also invite some new guest, I think Sony TV has low budget that's why they are not inviting new generation guest in the show..same guest are there in Indian Idol, Super Dancer and India's best dancer in all the seasons.

The whole drama is stagged. Even the romance in the reality tv show is stagged. Why not teach the contestants some acting too just like the judge's obvious dramatic acting. I have heard of entertainment using unrealistic (over the top ; highly dramatic and toxic) sex to sell their products but I am hearing for the first time that FAKE Romance sells to apparently which is seen in the India's Best Dancer 2023 a lot. Geeta needs to shut up with shipping the so called partners together as couples (The producers set her up as a fake cupid). The whole show is just super dramatic (just to raise the TRP) and obviously unrealistic. The contestants dance performance is good though but the judges comments are all fake/staged.
