I think Farah gave these guys the best compliment today. Raghav's style actually leaves you in awe because it actually HOLDS these moments. It makes time stand still, truly. Farah is the one who gives the most egnuine comments and appreciation on the show! She says she has a bias for season 1, but she never holds her comments back for season 2...and even her critcism, it's very constructive and will definitely help the dancers grow! Thank god for her honestly! :D
Yeah the sheesha bit...Raghav's mirror effect move which Rohan executed perfectly.
I loved that other bit too where the lyrics go, "sawaalon ki ungli jawaabon ki muthi sang lekar khoon chala"...I LOVE those lyrics firstly...SO thought provoking, goosebumps inducing and tear inducing almost...and I LOVED the way Raghav interpreted them. Eeeks, YES! How did I forget this part? it was sooo brilliantly done!
And the slow mo walk during the "ahista ahista" bit...SO perfect. I talked about this one in the previous post haha 😆
I think their performance wasn't flawless though...I think Rohan has been better with Soumya with the lifts and stuff...like remember in that "suraj hua madham" performance? Faisal wasn't as good I thought with the lifts...but then he got a lot more and harder lifts to do at once too. I haven't seen this Suraj Hua Maddham performance of Saumya-Rohan's :S It must have happened in that huge chunk of episodes I missed and still haven't completely caught up on 😆 I shall go watch that now.
But still, for two kids...these two were like so easy and flowing. Way better than so many adults. And YES I was also reminded of that Mayuresh-Alisha performance because that's one of the few romantic/waltz type dance performances I've seen on Indian TV that give you this flowing, easy feel. This light, airy feel. And Faisal and Soumya had that too. Aww, super adorable performance. Yes exactly! It wasn't flawless for sure...but it was still so airy, light, flowy and beautiful. I mean it was a difficult-ish act as well with the lifts...I can totally imagine this being shown on the adult version of DID. So I went back and re-watched Mayuresh-Alisha's Pehla Nasha and fell in love with it all over again. 😆 I toh loved how Terence incorporated Romeo and Juliet into the waltz theme and that song..such grace, easiness, and adorably SWEET chemistry Mayuresh-Alisha had. <3
I really enjoyed the Dharmesh-Ruturaj performance too actually! I'm glad Farah gave them the deserved appreciation. I thought that act was SO creative, choreography wise. 😆 I didn't think Ruturaj was that bad either...but yeah def. not as crisp as Dharmesh. But it was nice to see these guys dancing together...and the concept was so creative and fun. Oh did I forget to talk about their perofrmance? Yes their performance was actually quite interesting and very creative totally. I also didn't think Ruturaj was that bad. Yeah Dharmesh was crisper and in that one bit, Rutu was behind and it was uncoordinated but for the most part they were in synch. I didn't appreciate Marzi's comments about Rutu's weight either 😕
Regarding the Vrushali-Vaishnavi performance...yaar I beg to differ there. I actually, genuinely felt that Vrushali was better than Vaishnavi. Maybe it's just me...or maybe I'm biased don't know...but I felt that Vrushali was more bang on. Like she had the balance down between being graceful for the classical bits/the hand mudras and stuff and then being stiff for the robotic stuff. Vaishnavi looked like she was doing hip hop all throughout the performance. There wasn't as much distinction in her movements regarding the classical and robotic stuff. I felt that she was hurrying through her moves a bit too. Vrushali took the time to express in between where it was required too.
The only place I felt Vaishnavi was better was towards the end. Where these two were doing that leg zapping move. Vrushali just couldn't do that move properly for some reason. She wasn't shaking her leg enough to get that "zapping" electric whatever effect.
Vaishnavi was more smooth I'd say...but you need to have that stiffness/crispness for robotics also. Plus Vrushali was def. more graceful for the classical bits too. Like even Vrushali's posture and the way she would freeze and stuff.
I was a bit fascinated with this robotic/bharatnatyam mixture actually. Pretty creative idea. But the overall performance didn't make that much of an impact...because I think the flavour of the song didn't come through. I wish there was more connection between Vrushali and Vaishnavi as performers too. I thought Vrushali started well, but the robotics bit went downhill for her when the "this is V power" bit came on...after that bit started I found Vrushali lacking in the crispness required, especially near the end with the leg zapping move..I dunno, I guess I so badly wanted to be wowed and was so excited to see Vrush dance again ki I expected a little too much. *shrugs*
Yes Vaishnavi was more smooth in her movements and that would be why I felt ki her robotics was much better...I genuinely did love Vrsuhali's classical bits though. There was so much grace there...seriously her grace is almost unparalled on this show.. I honestly didn't even notice Vaishnavi much when the classical bits came on because I was too excited to see Vrush do what she does best.
That's what I mean actually. I don't think the performance managed to make that sort of impact. It COULD have...but it didn't get there because I wish they had picked a mix that both Vrush and Vaishnavi can excel at...and yes, I also didn't think Vrush and Vaishnavi had that connect. Sigh. I wish Avneet could be here.
But still...an interesting performance nonetheless. It was nice to see Vrushali dancing. I hope next time she gets to perform as style where she can be her full on expressive self. She couldn't be that expressive as a robot. lol Yup! exactly..Maybe I was disappointed because I couldn't see those expressions from Vrush I love so much 😆 I really hope her next performance goes much better :D I genuinely want her to be appreciated a LOT. I'm so tired of hearing "Vrushali this act didn't go as well as it could have...you were totally overshadowed by the LM kid." It makes me feel so bad..Vrush is always underappreciated :S Geeta especially seems to have some sort of issue with Vrushali...as if it kills her to appreciate Vrushali at all 😕 I appreciate Farah for boosting Vrush's confidence and appreciating at least her classical bits! Seriously, thank God Farah is here.
LOLL really Salman-Isha used the same song as a DID one again? Hmm interesting...lol I haven't watched the JDJ episode yet. Yes, they also used Adnan Sami's "Tera Chehra" song that Tanay-Om danced on 😆 Watch Darsheel-Avneet's performance when you get the chance! :D I only watched Salman-Isha's performance because there was a big hungama on the forum with more than half of the forum trashing it and wanting to know why and how Isha got a 30, calling the judges biased and what not 😆 It was...umm...really bad...the theme was: do something hatke..and I wonder if the hatke bit in Salman-Isha's act was that they made a TOTAL mess of Tango? Pallo...correct me if I am wrong..is Tango not an aggressive yet sensuous dance? That's what I have always thought..and here Salman-Isha were GIGGLING throughout their dance!! W*F. Isn't that totally against the mood of the style?? And forget that..there were so many other mistakes in their dance: slouchy posture, messy lifts..😕 Nothing was pointed out.
