The road crew (or roadies) are the technicians who travel with a band on tour, usually in sleeper buses, and handle every part of the concert productions except actually performing the music with the musicians. This is how the wikipedia chooses to define the game that is to go international in the currently on air 5th season. But tell me now, is it not just another K-serial in making, with no major difference being made to society with them hardly ever being on the road, no work, no social service and no definitely music production. The only music they are seen facing is from the mastermind of the show Raghu Ram who never fails to tell them amidst the famous beeps, how absolutely ridiculous and spineless this fresh batch of roadies is.
Girls bickering over who is more beautiful than whom and guys scheming with a very feminine and vamp-ish disposition. Is this what Indian youth is about? Every single episode makes up for quite a real-time fun and laugh moment but tell me, could this popularity not be used to generate a message more worthwhile? Can it not be used as a place to really make a difference? These roadies are never seen on the road and thank god they are not, because these roadies are not even street-smart!
