OTT Reality Show Live Fight: Worse Than Bigg Boss?

JioHotstar’s new reality show The 50 is facing strong backlash from viewers. The show had an underwhelming start, with many users criticising its overall concept. Early reactions suggested disappointment rather than excitement.

The makers claimed The 50 would be different from Bigg Boss. However, the initial episodes have led viewers to feel it is even worse than the long running reality show. Complaints about lack of content have been consistent.

In the latest episode, internet personality Maxtern was seen delivering a verbal pipebomb against Elvish Yadav after completing his task. Maxtern said he was not afraid of anyone. He also accused Elvish Yadav of promoting negative PR against those who oppose him.

Many viewers may not be aware that Maxtern and Elvish Yadav were involved in a physical confrontation a few years ago. That incident had gone viral online. Maxtern referred to this while speaking on the show.

He alleged that Elvish Yadav and his friends were trying to capitalise on the old fight for fame. Maxtern openly challenged the Bigg Boss OTT winner to meet him face to face, alone. His comments triggered further tension.

After the confrontation, Maxtern returned to the house. Soon after, another violent incident unfolded. Archit Kaushik allegedly pushed Maxtern to the ground, leading to chaos on the set.

The situation escalated further when Siwet Tomar entered the fight. He reportedly dragged Archit Kaushik into a no camera zone and punched him repeatedly. This moment has sparked outrage online.

Viewers believe the no camera zone fight may not be shown in upcoming episodes. Despite that, fans expect the makers to take strict action. Many feel the incident crossed all limits.

With The 50 already criticised for offering little beyond fights and insecurity, audiences are losing patience. Users say they are not willing to watch daily physical violence in the name of entertainment.
