no...its not the artist......they r the best..and they tried their best......but the organizers ..n the way the show went....
'
ITS THE WORST SHOW I"VE EVER BEEN TOO.....so far in the us...
..
the organizers should at least check the sound system.n make sure the show goes smooth...when they have that amount of audience payin 25 bucks each ..........thats the least they could've done...
instead the show ended with a mixture of appreciation (solely for the artists) but more. BOOOOOOOs (solely blame the organizers).....am sure ma-ha and the others felt ashamed for how it went...
complete disaster.....completeee....
me ...my frens and all the unknown ones in the parking lot....way before the show ended.......vow to think again..n again before goin to any other shows by the same organizers..

WUT A SHAMEEEEEEE!!!!!

Seriously, what a disaster it was. I had never imagined the sound system would go haywire in such an extent that they couldn’t even fix one mike. Even a local program organized in Kalankisthan would have better control over the sound system. I wonder what the organizers were doing all day long, ignoring the fact that sound system is the heart of the show and four performers with MAHA need four “working” mikes.

Despite a disaster, couple of things are worth mentioning.

1. MaHa’s experience that came handy during the fiasco. Ordinary performers would have fainted right on the spot due to the nervousness when they realized their mike was not working. Maha somehow pulled it off with an improvisation. At one point Haribansha’s mike was not working at all. Narendra Kansakar and Haribansha improvised the part and pulled it off. They didn’t stop the show. They were amazing.

2. Hat’s off to the audience for keeping their cool during the fiasco. They were perfectly calm given the situation. Ha...

Shame on organizers. They had no idea what was going on.

RP Entertainment Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkks. Everyone should ban their next event, for bringing cheap sound system technician in such a big event.

I think both artists and audience were annoyed by the sound system. It was horrible paying twenty five bucks and that kind of sound. RP enetertainment made money just because there were great artists like MAHA. I definitely hope MAHA would also avoid them next time around as well as audiences.

Folks,
Just for Curiosity who runs RP entertainment?

25 Dollors!!??Wow you guys lucky!I heard MAHA is coming up with their show at one comunity in Queens,NY and you know the ticket cost is?35 dollors.Its too much sucking!I have to work whole one day to make 35 dollors with minimun of $7/per job.And paying for MAHA"s old fashioned caricauture nothing artsitic and all mimicry.MAHA should change their way to make comedy...its my thought..i have not seen live their show yet..and probally i am not going to see the show with 36 dollors ticket.This is too much!we could get the best broadway's show Last row ticket in the door less than $30.That is far more worth ful honestly..!

anyone goin to the show..better make sure u ask the organizer bout the sound system before u pay 35 bucks or any other amount......as for rp entertainment.......i think its run by some guy in baltimore who used to be some kind of announcer back in nepal....
apparently all he knew was to announce stuff.....and forget bout another big aspect of the show......
now ..not being a hater of any kind......i...we suffered...we jus dun want anyone else to be cursing n all........after all..its our hard earned money.....
once again....
shame on rp entertainment!!!...

I don't see any any kind of apologies from the organizers.... What a SHAME!!!! That was a total disrespect to those great artists as well as us (audience). You guys should feel lucky tht the viewers didn't ask for their money back!!!

anyone wants to or have a room for rent in and around D.C..............please let me know.

much appreciated

Mukti and The Revival is coming to dc area on august 12. I think its at the same place dc had the new years party. This will be a bomb man. I saw the flyer on dmvpartynow.com homepage. My cousin is organizing this party and he always organizes nepali band from nepal around dc area.

I heard the audience was also thin compared to the capacity of the hall. Are the MaHa duo losing their audiences by introducing sub-standard artists like Pooja Chand.

I watched MaHa at New York and the NYU"S Skirball was fantastic and state of art.

Pooja Chand did admit and announced that she failed to become a singer at Radio Nepal just before she was going to sing a duet with Prem Raja Mahat. In return PRM reinforced her statement by saying, she turned into acting when she failed in music but went on to become an actress after seeing the HEROS in the film industry.

I felt funny and sad when I was going to listen to the FAILED singer and indeed her performance brought PRM's Chadke Saalam down.

How would you grade the performace of these "FILLERS" without the comics of MaHa ?

I meant the audience in DC .

You know what you should as kfor refunds. there is no excuse for takin plenty of money from people and using cheap equipments. they should be boycotted.

I don’t think there were lesser audiences than the capacity of the hall. I heard that the show was sold out. Probably the organizers were trying to save some money by printing less tickets like the way they “saved” by not hiring a proper sound engineer. Eh. You know, more tickets means more printing cost. :D

It’s pointless to talk about the artists when the show was not going smoothly due to the sound system. You could see them getting distracted and the kind of mood and environment lacked through out the show. Their performance suffered, yet they pulled it off somehow.

The “fillers” were just the “fillers”. None of them were worth talking about. Frankly, Yaman needs to choose good songs and avoid Prem Raja Mahat’s compositions, when it comes to the pop songs. The kind of the songs he sings and the order of the songs matter. People were cheering at his first song and they almost slept on his second song. Pooja Chand eh... hmmm, did she really sing? :D Prem Raja? Eh... pugyo. Too much of chadke salaams. :P Kiran KC somewhat rocked the show with his okay songs and easy body movements. I was hoping to watch Pooja Chand shaking herself on a tune of some Nepali filmi song. Aaah.... She broke my heart... :D

I wonder why MaHa selected the failed singer like Pooja Chand and let her sing. She drowned and also brought PRM down. I am not criticizing her performance for the skit. It was not great but mediocre.

May be they assumed, their shadow would make artists like her bright. Most of the audience were out smoking or chatting when the singers were on the stage. Usually the finale would make all audience stand up on their feet but I did not see that on this one.

I think Madan Krishna failed to promote his son, Yaman. His jokes were better than hello hi songs and probably also should stick to writing "muktak" like he wrote when he was in third or fouth grade.

kalanki, you in DC?

okay, i have not seen any of MAHA shows in US thus far. not that i don't like them, but i haven't got a chance, put it that way. as artists, i admire the duo. they have amazing sense of humor and sarcasm.

somehow, i don't find their "prahasan" that interesting these days. gone are the days (prior to 1990) of Panchayat era, when communication was under restriction. people felt tramatized to speak against the government. "gaijatra prahasan" and other shows used to be quite a revelation then.

nepalese politics, post 1990, has been quite transparent for most of the common people. hence MAHA's "prahasans" on politics do not hold too much significance and sense. probably that's the reason why they diverted their shows towards more social thought provoking and awareness topics as we saw in "raat" (about AIDS) and others.

just compare "gau khaane pratiyogita" first (2043 BS?) and second (2061 BS?) parts, you will see a huge difference.

amidst poliitical changes, i find them reasonably interesting nowadays, albeit not quite as spicy as they used to be.

Loote

Well,
It is true that PRM sounded same-old-same-old, Pooja had better not sang and Kiran KC and Yaman's songs were just okays but as far as the Prahasans went, I thought it was a blast. I also used to think that they won't make me laugh at this point for everybody is free to make fun of political scenario these days.
But, seriously after having seen the show in Boston, I found that MAHA have revived themselves and are now back in the game again with newfound ideas for satire. They have also been able to overcome the awkwardness they had felt in a couple of previous shows due to the break-up. Their chemistry is now just as good as those Panchayeti days. So even if the fill-ups no way manage to match with their standards, the program is worth all the eyes because of the duo. I enjoyed it fully.

Sahila.

I Just wonder how in the world was POOJA Chand an actress in Nepal. Neither she can dance or act. Whats the name pf her movie that she played I really want to see that movie and laugh my ass off.
