DDJ Episode Discussion Thread #1 - Page 58

Aaahh so Shetty boi delivered again Will be watching tomorrow.

So I guess TCQ-Geet went as per my expectations itself But I really don't understand the treatment? I mean, here is a brillaint classical dance crew, with talent, performances and drama-filled kids to boost. Why no pay attention to them?? What really is the problem with treating a Classical contestant with praises they deserve? Do they think audience only enjoy hiphop and stuff? Don't see the same bias for classically trained contestants in singing shows, par jab dance ki baat aati hai toh why this treatment? 🤪

My favorite performance today was Falak and Riddhi followed by All Stars. Lmao those two kids absolutely killed it today 🤣Riddhi is always a star but Falak was really good today. In such OTT performances, you need a certain kind of acting and Falak didn't even leave her expressions ever for once. 👏And I guess by now Riddhi's choti just twirls at the drop of a hat 🤣 Only thing that bothered me was the begining with those grown ups acting like goons holding little Riddhi and telling aaj hum tumhe nahi chodenge and stuff...erm I mean it was so uneasy to see that even though it was for a few seconds 🤡

Next favorite was All Stars. I don't think their act was perfect and somehow I always visualise a more softer and slower dancing to Yoon Shabnami (One of my absolute favorite songs from 2007 ❤️) but All Stars was really good, especially after the drop when they start with the hip hop, uff pure makkhan. And unlike Marzi, I think Anshika was having a tough time catching up with AS. Somehow her presence was actually bothering me the most in the act. I would've loved to see just All Stars perform to the song. They were so good.

Like I mentioned earlier, what on earth was that mamahuhu of a performance by TCQ and Geet? What the hell was that choreography? Did they even give the team enough time to rehearse? It looked like a last minute choreography. Even their costumes looked like used parts of All Stars costume 🤪 Sonali and her team absolutely put NO effort in the choreography. The formations were odd, the transitions were odd, there were hardly any twirls while doing a Kathak piece and then they added Geet as the center girl. Very odd act but like I earlier mentioned again, could not take my eyes off Pratiti for whatever little time she was given screentime ⭐️ She is just so effortlessly graceful, we have seen so many classical kids participating in shows but I don't remember any kid at her age displaying so much of grace, like those 80s and 90s Bollywood heroines! Also I wish Shweta and Sushiel were still a part of the team, I think inputs from a trained and graceful Bharatnatyam dancer like her adds a lot in the choreographies especially when it comes to transitions. If you check both their Ghoomar and Bekhudai performance and compare with the others, the difference in transitions is very visible. Earlier they used to be smooth.

I can't believe that even with a bigger stage and a group of four fabulous contemporary dancers, Pratik couldn't recreate the orphanage horror act they did so many years back in SD3. The backend team looked underrehearsed. Aditya literally had ZERO expressions to look convincingly evil. That's what happens when these gurus run behind stunts, they forget teaching the kids about expressions. A very ordinary act. However loved the song choice and the mix they did. Also when did they start using cover songs on reality shows? 🤓

Raish and Priyanshi were the weakest. Not to mention Priyanshi fell while doing those freaking stunts that the choreographers designed which the kids were absolutely not ready with properly. You can't top Antara Papai's act with anything else when it comes to the Avatar theme.

I don't think the other three kids of Opps Crew were sick. They are guys and the song was about the girls trying to woo Mr India. 😆 Kind of felt unfair that they were allowed with a partial team. I loved the concept but thought they failed at the execution.

I'm guessing Shweta was there for the audition and the grand premiere act. Because after that I haven't seen her in any BTS and the stories she would post would be with different people, not DDJ team. And I think Sushiel and her were part of the Disco Dancer+ Main Deewana act since I remember one of the kids tagging them.

Opps crew + prateek was a nice act. Mainly I liked the theme of Mr. India and the red light and prateek pulled it off pretty well today. But anyone any idea what happened to other members of opps crew? ?? Only 3 kids performed today.

They were there too, just invisible 🫥🫥🫥

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey Momma, is Mr.Sushiel dada now part of DID? Cause last week after Nobita's Don wala performance, Remo called all the ppl who worked in background for that act out on the stage and there was a guy that looked like him 🤔🤔🤔

i was thinking that he can't be in two shows at the same time 😆

Yeah he now works with Vaibhav in all his shows, I don't think he is regular on DDJ, he was only tagged for the Disco performance

Watched the episode. A pretty mamahuhu one tbh. They should've brought the duo acts in sooner so the kids could've been better prepared.

You all had set my expectations hiiiggghh for Riddhi Falak so I didn't enjoy it thaaat much 🤪 But I really liked it. Falak stood out for me especially. Riddhi seemed to be struggling to catch up with the expressions and movements at points but Falak was spot-on throughout. The choreo was also bit repetitive. Still, my second favorite act for the day.

My favorite was All Stars with Anshika. It was sooo beautiful I agree with Momma that this song required a more mellow choreography, but still it didn't look out of place, mostly because the kids did full justice to it. Did I mention how pretty it was??! I reversed back once the act finished just to watch it once again. Pure beauty ☺️ I agree it wasn't perfect though. Our kids, especially Tejas and Anshika aren't used to soft expressions 😆 Meanwhile I saw Pari back in her element after a while. Lady J and Aneesh were pretty perfect 🥳 Anshika did her part well and blended with the crew. And I think you guys misunderstood Marzi's comment. He was actually praising AS. From what I understood, he meant it is difficult to focus anywhere else when someone is doing popping, but AS crew was eye-catching enough to standout on their own. This was imo the best choreography in this episode because Tushar made sure both the teams has their moment to shine. I guess he realized Anshika would struggle to sync with AS style, so he did the reverse, but our baccha party totally caught up with Anshika's style

Geet with TCQ Tbh, I thought Geet did full justice to it and stood out, but frankly it was because the choreo was designed to set her apart. The crew seemed to be out of their element and had sync issues many times. But really, they felt more like background dancers than contestants 😡 I guess Momma is right about Shweta and co not being part of the choreo team anymore. It has been showing in their recent acts.

What Raish and Priyanshi were doing on stage, I'm yet to figure out. So many mistakes, sync issues, and overall a pointless act.

Aditya with C Company, I actually enjoyed. Setting aside all comparisons with previous SD acts, this was a nice one. Aditya was in sync with C Company, though there were still some overall sync issues. Loved that choreo bit with the doll. And I think the effect on stage would have been much better. But I guess y'all are right. Pratik could've done so much more with them. And when did Nora and Marzi complain about too many stunts in Adi's act? 😆 Did they edit out that important bit from comments? 🤪

They could've included all the boys in the Opps + Prateek act and nothing much would've changed 🤣 It was funny watching the girls try to be girly 🤣 Aaska failed miserably. Urva had a bit of girly touch here and there. Only Shahin managed to be convincing enough 😆 Prateek actually stood out the most. Even in the hiphop bits, he was really good. But there were zero expressions all around. Looked like they were performing separately and not together.

Don't understand what's wrong with Pratik these days. I think his assisting crew is quite weak. Most of them are unknown names and doesn't look like they have much experience choreographing for the stage. But how come they were so good initial weeks and now just mamahuhu?

Don't know who all are assisting Sonali coz she never revealed it I guess this is why TS has been shining. He has a solid helping hand, everyone well experienced with show choreography. Aryan, Shubranil, Paramdeep, Rueben, Pratiksha - doing an amazing job 👏 Gets me thinking how much better SD would be if the gurus joined hands like they do here

I want to see Prateeksha and Nisha as choreographers for future seasons of SD and IBD. They are beautiful dancers, Nisha is a legit winner of a dance reality show but it sucks how Sonali almost never praises her despite her assisting Sonali since SD4 🤡

I want to watch see today what kamaal did geet do that she got selected in top 7 and what went wrong for TCQ 😭

Lmao the introduction of Adla Badli episode was too goood 🤣 What an innovative way to start an adla badli episode. Neetu copying Nora 🤣
