Celebrity MasterChef India has finally hit the screens, bringing a unique blend of entertainment and culinary expertise. Unlike daily soap operas, this reality show shifts the spotlight to the kitchen, where celebrities compete to showcase their cooking skills.
Popular TV personalities Gaurav Khanna, Tejasswi Prakash, Dipika Kakar, Rajiv Adatia, Nikki Tamboli, Archana Gautam, Faisal Shaikh, Usha Nadkarni, Abhijeet Sawant and Chandan Prabhakar are among the contestants battling for the title. They are joined by renowned food YouTuber Kabita Singh, adding a mix of professional expertise to the star-studded competition.
The first episode of Celebrity MasterChef India premiered on SonyLIV and Sony Entertainment Television, leaving audiences eager to see which celebrity will impress the judges with their culinary skills. But does the show live up to the hype? Let’s take a closer look.
Celebrities Face Off in the Mystery Box Task
Celebrity MasterChef India adheres to the essential principles of the idea. Along with famous chefs Vikas Khanna and Ranveer Brar, Farah Khan analyses the contestants rigorously and gives candid remarks without deviating from the topic. Celebrities were given a task to use eggplant (called baingan in Hindi), rock salt and other unusual stuff to create a unique dish in the inaugural episode of Celebrity MasterChef India. The 400-year-old mystery box challenge required the celebrities to create the dishes without new-age technology, such as a mixer. The competitors had ninety minutes to impress the judges with unique dishes.
Sizzling Rivalries and Heartwarming Moments
Bigg Boss Marathi 5 housemates Nikki Tamboli and Abhijeet Sawant shared the screen, once again. Their friendly rivalry and playful banter added an entertaining touch to the show. Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 12 winner Dipika Kakar made a much-awaited comeback to television after four years.
During the episode, judge Farah Khan addressed the online trolling Dipika has faced, while the actress was seen lending a helping hand to her fellow contestants, highlighting the spirit of camaraderie in the competition. The journey may not be as smooth as it seems.
A promo released by Sony TV hints at upcoming challenges, with Abhijeet Sawant, the winner of Indian Idol 1, struggling with cutlery, suggesting that the competition is only going to get tougher.
To make a final verdict, Celebrity MasterChef India has the potential to build up speed and provide hot and tasty entertainment without pointless drama, silly music and jokes.
