Birju is not a magician lol 😆 Don't know if that DP info is correct but DP is an average dancer and Alia is below mediocre when it comes to classical. He can't do magic in a couple of days. 😆
The same Birju choreographed Madhuri in Kaahe Chedh Mohe and look at the results. Birju was all praises for Madhuri and called her the best Bollywood dancer for a reason.
One needs to be at least a good dancer/have classical training/practice a lot to pull off a classical number. This is not Sheila Ki Jawani or Munni Badnaam Hui. Not everyone can do it convincingly. These kind of roles require a specific skill set which neither Alia nor DP have.
There's a reason why Madhuri is repeatedly casted as a courtesan. She has those adaaye, dancing skills, expressions and charm.
PS: DP was great in Ghoomar though. She owned that song.

Hence proved Pt. Birju Maharaj is a bad coach. He had coached DP for 40 days for that Bajirao song.. Still DP looked stiff as s man.
