Karan and his DARLING ! - Page 2

Sorry, but this couple has been very inconsistent. There have indeed been very few performances of theirs that I have been able to enjoy thoroughly. The thing is there is this disparity between the level of dancing between Karan and Carling...with the former overshadowing the latter. Also, Karan is much more robust with dance types...but we still see some contemporary aspects in his dance steps, which may or may not add to the beauty of the performance. But it doesn't er, fit in quite well with a different dance genre. Anyways, then there Carling who, although has been improving, is still wayy behind the standard of DID...I think there have only been 1-2 performances where I've noticed Carling..

I agree with Rappy Di about Rajeev's choreography. Plus, Rajeev doesn't have an assistant, whereas Marzi does, and Geeta has been in the show for 3 years and therefore, knows her way about.

Well Karan and Carling fail to be the best because Carling it not that strong. This and I think the audience gets a little bored seeing the same kind of dance but with different themes from them. Also, I feel judges keep giving them the same comment: Carling is not as strong as Karan, and Karan has good exentions. So what? 😆 Say something more. I think Carling gives nice expressions though when she dances, and she is not a bad dancer, but it super hard dancing with Karan. I commend her for her hardwork and courage to dance with him.

Rajeev's choreography is not actually bad, but yeah, I agree it is more simpler than Geeta and Marzi's. Geeta Maa though has some ace assistants like Mini and D Sir. 😎 I believe Marzi gets help from Shamaik Davar school people, so he probably has good help from there too. Rajeev's assistants are okay in my opinion. Plus, Geeta Maa has the most experience on DID platform. If she want not excelling by now, then I don't know what to say about her. 😆

Oh and I don't think Karan and Carling are dating, so then she can't be his darling. 😆 I think she has a boyfriend, but I don't think it's Karan. Simi would know better than I would though. 😆

@ To those who are claiming Karan and darling aren't strong

Arrey yaar, well the point is that we are judging them based on current performances which are again choreographed by Rajiv. I mean other than technical dance there are many other factors which make performance a worth watch. Rajiv's choreography may include more dances but lacks better use of props and characters.

Like for example, that Vikky's MJ dance with gaonwali niharika ! Even though dance itself was good it wasnt very appealing as a total performance. Marzi probably could have put the same concept in a more innovative fashion.

Karan is a strong contemporary dancer and Rajiv is a hip-hop guy ...so thats a mismatch there I think. He shud have been with Marzi uncle. And Rajiv had good contenstants all the time but he lost most of them due to not-so-good choreography.

Now as far as assistants go, I do agree Geeta has advantage but I love Mini actually. She is fabulous . She actually deserves to a master herself.

Now Imagine if Amit n falon were in Rajiv's team. Do you think we would have seen the similar performances from them ? 😳

Well, I don't agree that Rajeev is not a top class choreographer. I think he choreographs pretty well actually. But, his choreography does seem simpler than that of Geeta and Marzi. And after watching the show for a while, I am thinking it is cuz Rajeev tries to put a lot of dance in it. and he doesn't focus on the wow factors a performance could have. he does put lifts in it and all, but the amount of "dance" in the choreography far exceeds all this. and so, his choreography seems simple. the other masters put in more "wow" stuff. which is a very good thing cuz it makes the choreography look more complicated and intricate and so u enjoy it more. despite rajeev having interesting concepts, he needs to wow the audience more. i am guessing that is his problem.

i apologize if what i said above made no absolute sense.😆 i tried to put my thoughts in the best way possible. but, it does seem like i'm rambling.😆

It made perfect sense and you said it well. No worries, we all seem like rambling ......thats what this forum is for 😊

and like joyce said, i don't think an assistant should be blamed for anything. it is the choreographer's job to supervise. and all or most of prithvi-vivek's performances were choreographed by geeta's assistant. or at least it looked like it. and PV left. now is it cuz the assitant was incapable? 😕 PV had some average performances too. was the assistant incapable?

and i agree with joyce on the part about KC. i think the problem lies within carling's dancing abilities more than rajeev's choreography. i love them (more than cornali anyway). but that is what i think.

@Arjun: it is CORnali, not KORnali!😆 just letting u know!😳

LOL ..thanks. I almost made a new couple Karan-sonali 😉

Arjun I don't agree that it's only the choreography that brings them down as there were some good choreograpjies for them too.

Like the Tandav this week which basically had the potential but the execution killed it, the corporate act could be much better if a bit more energy and expressions would have been shown, or the jadoo act which was very well choreographed but again it became an average one...it's kind of a circle so it's hard to tell what's the actual reason.

But what else can they say these two keep doing almost everytime the same type of dance that emphasizes Karans extentions, and Carling never dances to Karans level (except the Holi special where she was shining) so it's kinda hard to give any other comments I think😕.
