I'm seeing a show with immense singing talent on both sides, but, unfortunately after each enjoyable performance comes the anticlimax. The reaction of the captains is guarded and cautious and almost predictably slated in favour of their respective teams. Himesh's a little less so than Atif Aslam's, who is just too, too obvious. The latter's arrogant and acrimonious attitude is not going to help these young participants of his team in any way. They could have been winning the hearts and minds of the Indian audience and assuring their success for the future. And what happened to the Himesh we know from Sa Re Ga Ma Pa? The zeal, the energy that made him the most vibrant judge in that show has all but evaporated. It is almost painful to see so subdued. And as for the jury the only one who seems to be enjoying the show is Runa Laila. She is relaxed and fair in her comments. Guess it figures..... Salma Khan
This show really looks like money spinner at the cost of India-Pakistan emotions. I do not understand why every time anything between India and Pakistan has to be so stressful like a war between Lion and a Cheetah. It is just a singing competition. Why cant they do the show with the a sportsman's attitude? I do not understand whether things shown are scripted or not but it is not at all enjoyable, especially the attitudes of both the captains and war of words. They claim this approach is 'Aman ki Asha' a venture towards building peace between the two countries. To me, the way the show is shown, it does not at all look like building peace, rather it is creating rifts between hearts, showing hostility and attitudes of animosity. I do not understand, why cant it go on like any other talent hunt show and let the best singer win, after all music or any other talent is beyond the border of race, religion or geography. Hope the responsible people of such shows understand this point and do not do things just for the sake of TRP.

truly it looks to be a show which develops contempt rather than harmony among the people of both the countries. There are several parameters by which we must judge the unique performance. However this isnot the only show which shows supremacy. it is the integration we wish
nice article, the format of show forces a person to be angry instead of entertainment, especially the judges are not giving their remarks truthfully. Asha bhoslay is doing favoritism with india , she is not being just full.
Awesome Programme. There are very talented participants from both the countries. To be very frank I don’t like Himesh attitude on this show. There is no necessity to overreact and to be very rude with others. Learn to respect other country people if not there is no point of running this show. All the Very best for all Contestants.

Himesh is rude while Atif is over confident. Asha Bhonsle is one sided judge, Run Laila tries hard not offend anyone and Abida is too lenient on everyone. This is not a singing show, it is a personality conflict and giving birth to unneccessary and wrong sentiments and fellings. i love Pakistan and India and hoped this would be a show where people like me will enjoy both sides without the "Jeet mere watan ki", "Jai Hind", "Pakistan Zindabad", "Inshallahs and all that".
