SUR KSHETRA
Okay, by the looks of it, the green and blue, something like Pakistan and India comes to the mind and this is what i am talking about. SUR KSHETRA is the name of a new musical reality show where contestants from Pakistan and India share the same stage to fight for the Best Singer Trophy. What makes it exciting is of course the rivalry between the two nations but what makes it silly is the competition they are in for. Best Singer as in Playback singer and when you look at the two nations they are definitely miles apart.
India has an edge because music is a very strong part of their culture and society. Their movie industry also known as Bollywood has a massive room for talent to appreciate especially play back. Now, look at Pakistan, Music here is quite different. It has no link with the movie industry also known as Lollywood, which people do not even know, exist or not. Our music is mainly pop based, rock or classical (sufi-istic). Pop and Rock can accompany all the new talent coming out of youth but remember these kids are not trained to sing. They just sing. What help them are the lyrics and the music but definitely they are not the playback type singers. And in India when you look at the youth, they prepare themselves for mostly making a name in the Bollywood so naturally their approach becomes the playback singer right from the start.
The competition for now is going head to head but all looks scripted when you consider the singers on individuality basis. India is way ahead than Pakistan and that is a fact we all Pakistanis have to consider while watching the show otherwise get your TV sets insured.
