It’s hard to ignore the titillating promos — 20 barely-clad, hot women all over the two dishy, young contestants. Splitsvilla is the latest reality show to hit telly, but it sure comes with a wicked twist. The first romance reality show on Indian television, this show on MTV is proudly promoting the overtly ‘naughty’ content and is making quite a scene with young viewers, or Youngistaan, if you may.
Going where Indian telly has never gone before, this reality show explores the torrid game of love. There’s no attempt to even play down on the fact that it is going to be a dirty fight to the finish with 20 women fighting for the attention of the two men. Splitsvilla it is, when the men unceremoniously ‘dump’ women to eliminate them. then.
