It was one of my favorite channels a couple of years back, but now it sucks big time. The quality of shows on MTV has gone down drastically, and seems like morons (read Raghu) have taken over the channel and try to capture audience by bitching. Roadies was just a show, and now it’s almost like MTV has nothing but that in its forte, and all other shows revolves around that!
The weirdos, who are good only to laugh at, from ‘reality’ shows have turned VJs with abysmal sense of humor, and unmatched arrogance and attitude. If you’ve ever watched ‘Wassup Youngistan’, you’ll know what i’m saying. This ridiculous, in a non-humorous way, stupid show is hosted by brainless dolts from Roadies, Bani and Ayushman. They’ve got nothing but attitude like a Raghu :)) . Has MTV gone bankrupt and not able to pay for quality VJs like Nihkil, Cyrus, and Mini? Or is there a dearth for such VJs that they have to run a set of disgusting shows with a not-a-VJ-material amateurs picked up from reality shows? Why would i wanna watch an attitude filled ass on tv when there are millions of around everywhere?
Splitsvilla, i don’t even feel like writing about it. Read this post from Nova, Splitsvilla or Disgustvilla.
‘Fully faltoo’, a spoof that was good few years back. Spoofs on Sholay, few Indian cricketers, and the movie Dhoom were actually funny, but now they have totally lost the plot with recent spoof on TZP, Bechaare Zameen Par. Cyrus Sakhukar was the only respite, and he still has some humor left, and his portrayal of bunny teeth was hilarious.
It’s hard to say which is worse, news set of VJs or the shows. There seems to be no respite from watching Raghu’s handpicked morons, at least for now. Roadies is a nice show, even though the concept is “inspired”. But i’d prefer it to be just a show on MTV, and not eclipse the channel itself. Hopefully, they get out of this set of stupid shows and get back to showcase some quality.
Some times this makes me wonder if it’s only me who is sick of this. At least from Nova‘s post i know, not many people enjoyed Splitsvilla. Do people actually enjoy watching these shows and VJs? What do you think?
P.S.: Another disappointment was in Indian Idol, where last years contestants have turned hosts. They don’t suck as much as MTV hosts, but no one can replace Mini Mathur. I really hope she’ll be back soon.
great insight :P but see,what turns me off is that music channels rarely play music these days !their shows take up all prime time slots !
and bechaare zameen par is not all that bad actually :) i kinda liked it ! ”
main mandir ka ghantaa hoon main maa ! ”
and roadies has eclipsed mtv,agree ! i dont know why u hate wassup :) its a decent show !
and mini mathur –stork visiting her :) so she is not around
I left watching MTV long back!! They just repeat same hindi songs over and over ..with too many reality shows and advertisments. Channel V rules!! I liked MTV Most Wanted that too when Rahul Khanna hosted it….*drool*
I loved Rahul Khanna too!!! But since then, it has been a decline!!
@Meghana
:)
ya.. that’s true.. hardly play good music…
only some parts of it were good..
you like wassup!? :D :D
@Reema
they aren’t doing that either!
most wanted was good even when shenaz was there :)
I don’t specifically tune into MTV but I thoroughly enjoyed the TZP spoof ..was flipping channels and caught a glimpse of it last nite..
And yeah splitsvilla sucked! Little tht id seen..God! its only abt TRPs and flaunting assets n squabbling abt boob jobs n butt jobs! DISGUSTING!.. and Vishal was AWFUL..i hope hes enrolled himself for accent training..how on earth is he going to host a show on MTV I wonder!
Ranvijay is cool n I even liked Nikhil Chinnappa at one point..
I enjoyed a few episodes of Roadies! I felt like slapping Raghu everytime he appeared on the show..he thinks no end of himself and he is ugly to the core! Taklu tyrant!
MTV is really bankrupt of ideas and they shud invent novel ways of raising their flagging TRPs..
Like u said it and others too… wont add much to it… Well, MTV sucks :D
Was this post about MTV shows or the VJ’s who host the shows?
Most of watchouts are crap among which MTV’s is one…
Yes, Nikhil, Cyrus, Mini n shenaaz no longer seen
late news :P ha well i call it slutsvilla ,oh! and i saw the thing for about 10 mins…crap…
Ahh Shenaz Treasurywala …guys were crazy abt her but i hated her…and her dresses!!!! OMG!! She just kept pulling at them so as not to have a wardrobe malfunction.
@Swats
yeah.. that’s what i too wonder!
Roadies is ok… Raghu acts too smart and appears more often than necessary and spoils it..
@Nova
say nothing more :)
@Manasa
Both suck :D
@Vishesh
:D
@Reema
ya.. she was cute :)
Agree with you on the observation that Mtv india has gone to the dogs …Raghu is singularly most irritating charecter on the channel .. he has a serious attitude problem .. nikhil is still around .. i think he just hosts a few shows .. Youngistan and Splistvilla are surely Mtvs abysmal lows.. it cant get worse than this …
@bedazzled
all he’s got is attitude, nothing more
Thanks for visiting! :)
Never ever was a fan of MTV somehow!! so no comments there!! :)
Stop watching it and switch the channel to VH1..!!! Every morning, 6-8, cardio video! Awesome! :D
@Sakhi
Start watching now, you might like it :P
@Nikhil
Ya? That’s info dude :D
but 6-8.. aww.. i’d rather sleep
I used to like Cyrus when I watched MTV, but havent been watching it for a while when I was in India and certainly not after I came to the US.
Gone are the days when MTV produced excellent spoofs. I really miss the ones on Sholay and Indian cricketers. When they started Fully Faltoo film festival, i thought the days of spoofs are back. But BZP was not upto the mark.
I fully subscribe to your views on MTV. Its getting worse.
@Dinesh
ah hmm.. not much you got to feel bad about :)
@Radhesh
Ya.. i totally agree with you.. even i thought the days of good spoofs are back… but phew..
I agree. The reason being they turned it into a reality tv, than MTV. If they wanted to run more reality shows they could have started a new channel to air those and leave MTV for music.
Now there is less music and more of shows with crazy politics and camera revolving around a bunch of guys/gals who have absolutely no idea on what they are saying/doing.
MTV=hopeless!
The VJ’s suck!! Whatever happened to the good ones!
*wonders*
Well well…MTV indeed sucks…your post is quite convincing but i still like wassup( because of ayushman) and roadies(hated it when Ashu won)…I really miss seeing Nikhil more,even Cyrus(both) and many others like Malaika,maria…MTV doesnt play much music(and its supposed to be Music TV)..if it plays it just plays the snapshots most of the times…and Duh-Ah show some english hits more often…I have always preferred channel [V] over MTV…The spoofs are quite hilarious but they show the same thing over n over again…The Tickre thingy has proved the fact that they wanna always get “inspired”…BTW,i miss style Check…
About Raghu…i hate him a lotttt but like him a little(for his crude behaviour)…he thinks no end of himself sometimes…
You seem to be a Die-hard Mini Fan!!
:)
@bhav
i miss style check too :D
@Xylene
ya absolutely.. weirdos!
@Prarthana
i wonder what happened to their top management!
@wasshappening
You like Wasssup? :D
If it’s just for that guy, i can understand.. otherwise :D the concept of that show itself is sooo stupid!
* ignores raghu *
Ya.. she does her job the best..
@meg
footpath shopping? :P
Btw i saw some ‘Zoom TV’ ad today, and MTV viewership has gone down drastically and they claim they are better..
MTV has changed for the worse. Whenever I happen to see it, I only get to see Splitsvilla….. Find it pretty disgusting!
@Priti
I was wondering if it was only me who hates mtv.. good to know there are so many :D
:( I want to watch TV in India!!! Even if it is MTV :(
Hey, I actually like WASSUP YOUNGISTAAN?!
I agree, its overdone, but its different and WTF news is hilarious!
And you havent mentioned the MTV TICKR ??! Don’t you think its funny ?!! Some jokes are a big time PJs but some are really good…and its a different idea too….
Coming to the horrible side of it,
I agree with the fact that MTV lacks quality VJs these days. Everything is done by the same faces over and over again.
All the shows ( most of them, atleast ) revolve around either Roadies or Slpitsvilla….there was Teen Diva or something too, suckkkeed. Everyy reality show contains bitchy stuff.
I’ve stopped follwing anything on TV….I’d stopped it loong time back….
The best show to watch is Man VS Wild on Discovery. Its just amazing, what he does.
Oh, and also, Life with Derek on Disney =D
@Deepika
:D
don’t you fly down for holidays?
@Priya
hmmm.. ya.. now i get it.. there are some ppl who actually like it :D
Now, you seem agree with some part at least :)
MTV India is a shit. All the actors looks like Buffon’s . I used to love till it started stinking with useless PPL
Indianized Shit!!!………………………LoL……………………:)
Holidays? There are no holidays in grad school. :(
We get MTV Ameriggaa though, and it could be a close call deciding which sucks more – MTV India or Amerigga.
@Deepika
No? :O
you’ll stick around there till you graduate with PhD!!!?
very true dude… MTV was the best way out of a tense day, a few years back… now i feel like avoiding it totally… and its the same with other channels too… they’ve forgotten that music can range from classical to soft rock to metal and death metal… every time u come across these channels, u see the same set of songs repeating over and over again!
@Su
can’t agree more.. thanks for visiting :)
Hi, Look at the pics of my new emo haircut
in http://xrl.us/ouog2

mtv rebranding itself as a youth channel trying to be edgey has become just disgusting and boring….
all the intelligent people now dont watch tv…they watch youtube.com ;)
Ye bekaar baat hai…MTV IS THE BEST !!
tum old people ko koi aur kaam to hai nahin …sivaay MTV ko gariyane ke
RAGHU ROCKS !!…par tum kya samjhoge gaddaaar ….tum log Aasthaa channel mein chipke raho…Baba ramdev mein ghuse raho…
IT’S MY MTV !!
@Rajiv
You moron, who are you calling old here?
Whoever has commented here is in the age group of 17-25. If they are old, then are you 8?
The comparison of MTV is not with Aasthaa, it is with the MTV few years earlier. If you don’t get that point, go drown in Raghu’s piss.
MTV Sucks!!!! I hate Roadies.. its fu**@#@ CHEAP… and Why do they call them roadies.. because of the stunts they perform.. STUNTS.. what stunts.. the bitching stunts.. its stupid childish..
MTV grow up.. check out MTV USA and get inspired ..you morons..
Yeah, MTV sucks Raghu’s shitty a.s.s.
All MTV is doing is corrupting the youngsters by feeding immorality in their minds v.i.a. shows like slutsvilla.
Roadies is Entertaining but needs to get rid of nonsense abuses.
I thought I was alone who hates MTV.
GREAT POST, Sandeep.
Now I feel happy that there are youngsters in India who can make a right choice
its getting more and more disgusting these days.. its no more a music tv, but more of moron tv. always showing some cocky reality shows.. or the bakwaas of cyrus..or some more laughass tv ads.. but a very little music.. these days I’ve switched to zoom instead of M or V… MTV-India SUCKSSSS
mtv floats itself as a music channel but it actualy is reality show specialist . no talkin about the music here they have only four cd’s …….
watchin rannvijay with cue cards every now and then in a different reality show sucks . mtv needs a revamp big time
i hate mtv and their shows..
they suck..
AGREE WITH ALL BLOGS …
once there was a time when MTV was the best ..now it STINKS…
Same songs everyday….NO ENGLISH SONGS>>
the only thing that goes around in mtv india is ROADIES>>>
a reality show that has no rating …..utter bullshit..
when are these things going to change..and there is no use of this blog also coz it wont make any difference …..thats the saddest part… :(
MTV makes me sick…I stopped watching it after splitsvilla 2. Disgusting shit…If i ever see/hear about those two (sakshi n siddhart) having their own show, i swear i will take mtv off my quicklist on TV.
Reality shows have reached their saturation point. No more!!!

Hi Sandeep.
Thanks a ton for this blog. I was thinking about all this for quite sometime now. However, very few (almost none) complained about the pathetic state of MTV today, n i thought i am the only one with this opinion.
A few years back, I remember, it was the era of MLTR, Bryan Adams, Westlife, Boyzone, n many more.. who kept the factory of quality music running 24/7. N all the content was beamed into our drawing rooms via the hero called MTV. MTV most wanted was something that one could not afford to miss. I am not being nostalgic here, just wondering how quality can drop so drastically.
Today, I have no idea what is happening in the world of music.. where r the bands, the singers.. who r the new ones.. how good are they?
I find no reason to switch to MTV: the hero has turned villain.. n I complain bcos I want that quality of shows to be restored ..n good VJ’s to replace the incompetent ones out there.
Hope that the people at the helm of MTV use their common sense as soon as possible.
N more importantly, I wish that more n more music lovers voice their opinion in this regard.
so true pankaj…absolutely
MTV sucks beyond core and even vh1 can’t be of much respite as English songs consists of ppl yo-yo ing(not the game with elastic :P) and britney (and every other singer)with a non-singable voices…
Those were the days of music.. the late 90s
as for MTV india..the channel really does a lot to find the choicest retards from the country to fill its reality shows.
haha..am i late or what????
if i ever see that bald headed cunt or any of his bitches , i’d probably shoot them in the head…twice
they’re of as much use to this country as a milk bucket is when it’s kept under a bull’s bollocks or a windscreen fixed on a goat’s arse !! phew!!
I watched a rodie show on mtv. Oh god it was like watching 2girls 1cup without blinking. Only difference was , what i saw in the latter was being served in Mtv. And that bald head thinks he is gangsta. Hell he aint even half a gangstar our pm is. And cant say a thing about adds , cause they r a hell lot better
Pleasssssse…. Give me back the MTV of 1990s, the good ol’ days……!!! When it was all about “MUSIC” and nothing else.
A brief history: MTV came to India in the early ’90s. It was THE BEST & ONLY musical channel for internation music (before Channel V came out). Best artists, songs, music videos, music based shows…& all. By the mid ’90s, Indian & Bollywood music started on MTV. By the late ’90s and early 2000s MTV got totally DESIfied or Indianized. Now, there is no internation music at all….!!!
Good thing, now we have VH1 for our dose of international music.
Hi,
Mtv Became “dihaatii” channel long time back. There is no English video no longer, only promos of releasing movies, bitching reality series. “M” in M-TV was suppose to stand for Music. There is everything else in this channel except the music part. Maybe its under the pressure of “Shiv Sena” not to show english.
M TV India sucks big time. Switch to “VHr” instead.
voooooooowwwwwww call me at my show I’ll clear all the things!LOSERS
