I think it is far-fetched, disconnected from and deceiving the people it is representing in its portrayal. The fantasy fiction of Nida Manzoor's characters does not gel with the Islamic landscape they inhabit. The overarching theme of love of music, Western music in particular, flies in the face of the religiosity the characters portray. Their liberal disposition towards music contradicts the characters and the community it is trying to promote. It will get the big thumbs up from the liberal leftist audience but ignored and possibly rebuked by the people it is representing. The comedic element of the show is at best Young Adult, more suited to MTV or Nickelodeon.

Gave up watching this film after 30 minutes (and I don't do that normally, even bad ones I watch in ffwd). So contrived and clichéd, and hammy acting to boot. Every sequence seemed like trying too hard but ending up looking like a B-Grade Hollywood teen movie. It's worse than Lady Parts. Nida Manzoor is no Gurinder Chadha!

Awful! What a waste of a comedian, celebrities and time on a premier channel. The game show is neither challenging nor entertaining. Lots of chatter around the contestants while the celebrities are used as props around the questions. How the hell did it get commissioned by the BBC baffles me!
