Very well said👏

That was the only truly creative act of the episode and I can't believe ppl are jumping on it considering it an "insult" to God...truly this is how creativity is stifled by narrow-minded views of this sort that are prevalent in society.


Word. Reminds me of the big hoopla made after Vrushali and Jai's "hai rama" performance. No pun intended there, with the "hai rama". lol But really, after that performance also, people were going crazy ki OMG they showed kama sutra and all that nonsense. There is no appreciation for thinking outside of the box and showing creativity anymore. Sad that it's always Terence that is targeted here. An artist who's so genius to be able to think of such creative stuff. And Remo and Geeta...no matter how many amounts of cheap acts they've shown, are never criticized in this department.

It just baffles me that people are so easily offended with this kind of stuff, but lap up the misuse of religious aspects in daily soaps happily. Of course there the Gods aren't portrayed as doing hip-hop na? Only the lead heroines are japoing religious gyaan MEANINGLESSLY all the time. That's of course less offensive. Here, Terence actually portrayed depth and understanding to religious aspects and that's too much of an issue.

And it really is quite hilarious that the entertainment industry in India today uses all kinds of cheap antics in order to "entertain" and nobody is ever offended by that kind of mindless crap.

Terence has always been brave enough to take risks with his contestants and think outside the box. And that doesn't mean incorporate x,y,z type of stunts in his choreography. He's a true artist and his level of thought put into his choreography and his creativity is unmatched on this show. Geeta and Remo can't even compete. Sad that this kind of creativity and a genuine sense of art isn't appreciated these days. People only want the standard, mindless stuff.

Edited to add: And LOL it's hilarious too that Terence actually apologized for this very reaction. Man, is our Indian audience predictable or what?

It is not about small mindedness or narrow thinking...Why Gods cant dance?..then why dint Terence showed Christ or mother Mary in doing hiphop as a mother-son?.or some Guru's or Mahavir etc...there is nothing wrong in potraying them after God is a God...be it any religion...Let's see if Terence has guts to do tht?..or any other mentor..

The way Sudama is walking in abnormal way...was not correct...and Sudama was a friend of Krishna during his ashram days..so how can they always show Sudama an elderly man?...Yes we all tht he was poor and sometimes used to stay hungry for days...

The Mentors should not depicts such acts if they want thn treat all the Gods equally...dont just emphasis on Krishna or Rama or Devis...if they are Genuine creatives and artistic thn show Christ or Mother Mary too in hiphop dancing form..

@ pigbelly4myfeet- I can always rely upon you to have similar(actually ditto) thoughts..
@setraj-
Christ and Mary's story is a sad one which would look awkward if they do hip-hop on a sad music.. BTW I didnt like that Christ act done by Remo either.. I think it's masters' choice to choreograph on whichever God.. And truly saying, krishna sudama act was THE BEST act today! :)

Yes we should show respect to religion of everyone. Perhaps certain dances were not appropriate and that can be improved upon.
But I am generally glad that all of them took the trouble to put up a show depicting the Gods. Radha Krishna has always been a great fascination and mystery to me. I simply adore Radhe Syam.
I respect all religions and agree that basically the dance items should not go overboard. But I am glad that they had such a theme.
In the previous year I also liked the Sufi Dance performed by Karan to the song "Kwaja mere Kwaja".

I actually didn't find anything wrong with the Krishna Sudama act. Its something new and entertaining rather than doing the same thing over and over again. Its called 'thinking outside the box.' Using one's creativity in such ways prevents mythological acts from being redundant and boring. I personally saw nothing offensive about that act. The act was just depicting the friendship between Krishna and Sudana. It was a fun act.

Someone mentioned Jai and Vrushali's 'Hai Rama' and i had to comment. That act was just WOW. I mean I can't even describe how freaking awesome that performance. Even though I haven't seen that dance in more than a year i still remember it so vividly. One of my favorite DID acts for sure.

SERIOUSLY? Wow...unbelievable...what do you mean GUTS?? As if he's out to disrespect the Hindu religion as some kind of personal vendetta just cuz he's a Christian? What kind of thinking is this?? Amazing😕😕😕 Ummm TRY and process the story IF it gets through to you...there is nothing in Jesus and Mary's history to show them dancing in any form like this.


Krishna and Sudama were a PLAYFUL relationship and Terence actually showcased that so BEAUTIFULLY using that aspect of Krishna's personality...it's APPALLING that ppl with such petty mindsets would twist it into something so horrible.

The way Sudama is walking in abnormal way...was not correct...and Sudama was a friend of Krishna during his ashram days..so how can they always show Sudama an elderly man?...Yes we all tht he was poor and sometimes used to stay hungry for days...Umm hello...were you even watching the act? They didn't show Sudama walking in an ABNORMAL way...he was just being PLAYFUL...and umm WHEN they did they show him as an OLD man?? They just showed him as a brahmin...yeh old man kahaan se aa gaya?😕😆

The Mentors should not depicts such acts if they want thn treat all the Gods equally...dont just emphasis on Krishna or Rama or Devis...if they are Genuine creatives and artistic thn show Christ or Mother Mary too in hiphop dancing form.. Oh yes, the entire world is out to disrespect the Hindu religion and "insult" the gods by showing them dancing in a hip hop form...clearly the CONCEPT of the act was totally lost on you and I don't even know what you were watching in this act if you could only see an "old" Sudama and not any of the other VERY CREATIVE ways in which Terence showed their entire relationship...and why is hip hop disrespectful? Did he show anything in a VULGAR way? NO...then why the hoopla? It was a fantastic modern interpretation of the relationship while still being very respectful to the essence of Krishna as a personality and this story.

And yes, why don't you answer why it wasn't considered "disrespectful" when Radhika from Choti Bahu was doing a locking/popping move with Prince as Krishna? Was that INSULTING to Hindu Gods too?

Exactly...yehi toh mahaanta hai humaari society ki...you are only "pious" and "respectful" if you are BLINDLY japoing all the time...but if you ACTUALLY try to showcase the ESSENCE of something CREATIVELY, then you are berated...ppl just want to blindly see wohi standard Kanha standing playing a bansuri as Radha dances around type acts...if Kanha DARES to do anything other than play bansuri and do raas leela with his gopis, HAWWW...BLASPHEMY😆

WORD...oh the ironies of society *shakes head* There is uproar over this act but the endless stupidities in daily soaps and the cheap item songs galore in movies have endless takers.

you do have a point when you put it like that. But then again thats the beauty of Hinduism. We have extreme tolerant and liberal views about everything and that has lead to the numerous interpreations of different mythological events and even the scriptures and even our God.
If i remember correctly, sudama used to limp a little didn't he?
Btw: i do not think he was potrayed as an elderly man. Maybe the bald head made pradeep look older?
