This is the small-screen debut of Rani Mukerji, who after a lull at the box-office, hopes regain to her stature here. Arshad Warsi will be the audition round judge and Shiamak Davar, the umpire, who will guide the aspirants. Owing to its unique concept and distinct pitch - Rin Dance Premier League has attracted a bevy of Bollywood stars, who have associated with the property for their upcoming films. Salman Khan (North), Kareena Kapoor (West) and Sohail Khan (NRI) for Main Aurr Mrs Khanna, Bipasha Basu (East) for All The Best, Himesh Reshammiya (Central) for Radio and Prabhudheva (South) are the super-star supporters. In addition iconic sportspersons like Kapil Dev, Anil Kumble, Sanjay Banger, Baichung Bhutia and rapper Hard Kaur lend their support to the teams. Sarah Khan and Eijaz Khan have been roped in as judges.
After a host of celebrity dance shows, it is quite a breather to see common people on the dance floor. The audition rounds gave most Indians a platform to exhibit their talent and the star- power associated with each team makes it even more worth watching. The format is a fresh one for dance-based shows and it helps the choreographers too to work on talent that is fresh and willing to improvise. The dance is of very high quality and it will only get better with only the best being selected for the main league.
However, with this being a zonal tournament, one would have assumed that there are many small-town dancers making a mark. But here too metros like Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai hog the limelight. The judges comments and suggestions by Shiamak Davar and Arshad Warsi remind you of the judges of Indian Idol.
VERDICT:
Dance is almost a religion in India and this is probably one dance show that will showcase most dance forms. For a dance lover, this is your chance to see the best in action.
