IPL- Indian Premier league is the most widely recognized Cricket league in the world established by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). There are many IPL fans all over the world. It has lifted the India's spirit to the top. Lalit Modi was the man behind this glorious event, later on he was kept away from IPL and BCCI because of misusing the available fund. By then onwards, IPL has almost lost its glory and become controversial for giving one extra foreign player for Mumbai Indians, supporting Chennai, Termination of Kochi Tuskers, Sahara Pune Warriors saga and blah blah. IPL has lost his rhythm of administration after bringing in Chirayu Amin as IPL Chairman, soon after sacking Lalit Modi. Later on, He resigned and Rajiv Shukla has been crowned as IPL Chairman and he is the current IPL chairman.
* Other than that, The event was full of Bollywood's domination than Cricketing world. There was no cricketing concept. Bollywood representatives danced on the floor with a bang. But, Really sad that they have under performed with poor choreography, other than Prabudeva. It was helpless because he himself is a choreographer. Others were ridiculous. Salman Khan was way better with his styles than dancing stunts of Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor's glamorous dance.
Behind the screens, In EXTRA INNINGS programme, Navjot Singh Sidhu was praising the event with his phrases. But It was intentional, just because he got better job to secure. Harsha Bhogle was pretty silent. As we know, Silence speaks more than words, We can understand Harsha's concern.
The worst moment of the IPL Opening ceremony was KATY PERRY. She was highlighted in India like anything, but that anything was just reduced to five minutes of unwanted performance in INDIA.
Anyways, LEST FORGET THIS OPENING CEREMONY and believe in the T-20 LIVE matches of IPL-5, which is the best part of Indian Premier league.
So ENJOY the SIXERS and FOURS from World class players and World class players in making, who are talented enough.
Indians proved again that Ceremony is not at all a concern for them. But the GAME is really what matters. That's what we believe.
IPL-5 has been kick started in Chennai, following the ritual of celebrating the opening ceremony and opening game in the last season winners home. Chennai got the honor of representing the opening ceremony of IP-5. The People from all over the world has expected a lot from the IPL-5 opening ceremony, especially the people of India, that includes even myself.
The chairman of IPL-5 promised that the opening ceremony will be grand with lots of celebrities. And as expected a day before the ceremony, Many Bollywood stars and IPL fraternities including players and huge audiences turned out to see the delightful event in Chennai. Even the so called 'Tainted' by BCCI, Lalit Modi also supported for his dream IPL, which he has created a history. Lalit Modi was really excited about the IPL-5 though there were rifts with BCCI. As expected, The Bollywood A-Grade stars- Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Prabudeva and the very beautiful American pop singer Katy Perry was also hit the floor to bring lot of vibe in the ceremony, which went wrong of course. Even Cheer girls didn't hesitated to accompany captains of each 9 IPL-5 team.
If you ask me, how was the show, I m definitely going to criticize the show in big way. The following are my views of IPL :
* This is Indian Premier league and do we really need American Katy Perry on the floor to sing and rejoice Indian audiences. First of all Katy Perry don't even know anything about Cricket. But, She accepted the offer to entertain the crowd, that too in Chennai. Is it a worth more? If you are Indian, You better know, What kind of songs and culture, Chennai people will like. ? If you watch Tamil movies or observe Chennai's culture closely, then you will come to know that they like some Folk, country side music, which should be complete fancy than being in standard and neat.
* I bet most of the crowd in Chennai during IPL-5 Opening ceremony didn't like Katy Perry's performance, so as me because, Investing huge amount for Katy's dates and bringing her to Chennai, India and making her to sing one hell of a crap song, just for 5 minutes at the end of the day doesn't make sense.
* Since It's Indian Premier league, BCCI or IPL Chairman would have given more chance to Indian talents to lift their spirit to the peak. If not A.R Rehman, Sonu Nigam was the better choice. If you feel, Sonu Nigam as over rated and great singer, so close to A.R Rehman, then they could have called the Indian desi Rock band such as Parikrama, Pentagram and so on.
* If I have given a chance to pick a singer rather than Katy Perry for Chennai IPL Opening Ceremony , Definitely I would have picked Raghu Dixit. May be you people think. Why the hell Raghu's name. But I can defend him that He's the best available Folk Rocker/ Countryside singer, especially for Chennai Crowd. I am cent percent sure, Audience would have enjoyed his theme of music and vocal.
* Raghu Dixit's voice echoes South Indian/ Tamil accent in his songs. You can notice his compilations in his debue music to the bollywood movie "Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge". He would have given his heart and soul to the crew present during that day. He would have lifted their spirits high than boring Katy Perry, who almost turned audiences hype to sleep within 5 minutes of time.
* I am not blaming Katy Perry. Though I wont listen to her songs much, her song "Last Friday Night" always enthrall me. But I feel she was over rated and not suited to the Chennai audience in the Opening Ceremony. It's enough of Katy Perry's saga now.
* Other than Katy Perry, Cheer girls were ridiculous during the event. I ought to say that Cheer leaders weren't necessary to accompany Each captain of all IPL-5 Teams to sign the pledge to follow MCC rules of fair play.
* I have noticed Rahul Dravid's face, when he walked around with couple of cheer leaders before he signed the pledge. He was really nervous. My question is was it necessary for BCCI to all those stupid stuffs. Cheer leaders duty is to cheer the crowd during IPL matches, not to cheer the individual cricketers in opening ceremony.
Behind the screens, In EXTRA INNINGS programme, Navjot Singh Sidhu was praising the event with his phrases. But It was intentional, just because he got better job to secure. Harsha Bhogle was pretty silent. As we know, Silence speaks more than words, We can understand Harsha's concern.
