In the recent years we had many shows on Television which were American/other nation's proprammes tailor made for the Indian audience.
Indian Idol was taken from American Idol. The format, the cynisism, the rude judges, the music, the beginning of the show, everything is just entirely lifted from the American Idol.
Another one is the Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain which had Shahrukh Khan hosting th show which is a copy or a straight lift of the American TV show "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?"
One had Biggest Losser in India. We had the Big Brother and so many of Indian shows which have just lifted the original format the way it is not making any changes and just taking indian contestants in it.
So in this scenario, Dance India Dance is a fresh air concept. It has an original concept which I dont think has been lifted from any other concept of some other nation? What do you think?

Nope Dance India Dance is a copied version of so you think you can dance which is being aired in AXN---i love these two shows though---as you can see a contrary in both of these dance shows---One deals with dances from all over the world but DID has more Indian flavours---to be frank the standards are quiet for SYTYCD.On the whole they're good shows---At the end of the day what matters the most is if they're really entertaining the audience or not.There are far better than those never ending Serials 
.great day.

Foe those who have watched the originals what our fellows are doing here by copying is a real sh-t.Our guys have lost their originality long time back.All they do is blindly aping the Hollywood and shamelessly being proud of Indians.Lousy attitude of the,As long as the people are suckers for these monkeys this show will go on.
