The reality show based on comedy was being aired on the Asianet channel every weekend, for the last three and a half years. The show was named so because it's sponsored by Vodafone. This was the first venture of its kind and to that extent, Asianet deserves the credit for being a trendsetter in this genre of reality shows and kudos are also in order for the panel of judges and the taut editing team for maintaining a dignified quality of the programme, all through. Today is its grand finale with four teams participating for the honours.
I've been an ardent viewer of the programme and have only missed a few episodes because of compelling reasons that were beyond my control. The factors that attracted me to this unique visual treat were:-
(a) It was good, clean comedy without a hint of vulgarity.
(b) Politicians and celebrities were mimicked, quite a number of times, without losing sight of decency,
decorum and propriety.
(c) Almost all the teams consisted of participants from very poor families and they'd plunged into the
'comedy act' for their genuine love of the art and didn't care a damn about remuneration. Their
success and well being gave a thrill, deep within.
It's amazing to note that quite a few of them had been making their audiences laugh, so effortlessly, despite their serious personal problems and tragedies!
I'd like to congratulate all the finalists for their efforts, thus far, because they're the best. They need not be unduly worried about the final rankings because each one of them is a winner!
Tailpiece.
I've always felt that good comedy usually comes from undue suffering and the inheritors of the harsh realities of life. Perhaps, the bitter experiences give them the wonderful ability to laugh at the world, in general and at themselves, in particular!
