Boys Vs Girls

Disclaimer: This is my own view :)

Boys Vs Girls is a dance show in Vijay TV; telecast at 8PM on Friday and Saturday. There are two set of teams - Boys and Girls team. They compete with each other in different dance rounds. So far, 11 episodes have been completed. It is supposed to be a dance show, but one can see lot of activities happening other than dance. Main points to be noticed in this show:















  1. Most of the episodes had the kids (Abinaya, Rinson) in the spotlight. It doesn't look like we are watching an adult dance competition.
  2. George, the Boys team captain doesn't dance at all :( He is too good in expressions, but no dance.
  3. If its duet, then its George (boys team captain) and Brindha Das (girls team captain). No heavy movements. Their dance steps were very easy and I got bored watching them dance. It looks like a party hall dance all times. The dance competition spirit goes off. If George doesn't know dance, at least he should learn it as it is a high TRP rating dance show in Tamil.
  4. Lot of activites other than dance happens here. Be it cake cutting for dancer's birthdays, idle talks, unnecessary gimmick video clips / scenes.
  5. No clear cut rules. Suddenly an extra round comes in between series of episodes, new rules in Challenge rounds, suddenly the episodes are numbered (this is the 10th episode, 11th episode, 12th episode etc), don't know when and how the winners will be elected at last. At least, I was confused for the first few episodes on the rules and points calculation.
  6. Judges. There were no explanation on who all will be the permanant judges. The show have had Namitha, Srikanth, Sangeetha, Krish, Jeeva, Anuya, Mumtaj as judges till now. Srikanth and Mumtaj are the current judges, dont know when it will change.
  7. Don't know why the Airtel Super Singer finalists were invited for one of the dance episodes. I think 5 singers were present in the show; nobody uttered even a single word.
I somehow feel that Boys Vs Girls isn't clicking as much as Jodi Number 1 did. I am a big time fan of Jodi Number 1 (all 3 seasons). Having said all this, I still like Boys Vs Girls show :) The reason being - The comperers DD and Deepak, dance of Michael, Guna, comedy of Shiva Karthikeyan.
