Thank you for this post firstly.
Man, I shouldn't even watch Isha-Salman performances because it gets me too riled up. Maha BLAHH performances from these two every single week. I have major problems with the superficial, lame, cocky, and show off type of dancing these two do. There is hardly anything GENUINE about this kind of dancing. Really puts me off that THIS is the standard of these dance shows when these kinds of dances are appreciated to the skies. 👎🏼I was really amused last week especially when these two actually had to DANCE for once. And especially that these two got Govinda and Karishma! Ha! Isha especially who is just EXPRESSIONLESS! And it was clear as clear that this girl cannot dance beyond her gymnastics/acrobatics...no matter how much "training" she's got.If after last week these two are STILL praised and still even CONSIDERED for a chance at winning this show, then I have no words.And I have so many issues with their performance this week.
Firstly...beauty and the beast is a heartwarming story. There is this innocence, this depth/a message in that story. Salman and Isha DID not capture the essence of the story AT ALL!! Please! SO damn superficial!WHY is it that ALL of their acts look CREEPY to me?What was this? A horror performance or a fairy tale? Because it had NONE of the sweetness/innocence that a fairy tale story requires. And most importantly it had NONE of the depth. TOTALLY superficial and FLAT. ZERO layers.Secondly, HORRIBLE choice of song. WHYYY I ask would you choose such a BLAHH song for such a soulful and beautiful story like B and B? Just lame really. At least have SOME appreciation for a classic story like that.Next...HOWWW was that act a "ballroom" style? What is a "ballroom" style anyways? That is so vague. What KIND of ballroom was it? Because there literally were NO ballroom steps WHATSOEVER in that performance. Only Salman was lifting Isha around throughout the performance. Oh what a surprise from Salman. More lifts. SO original and different. 🥱I really laughed out loud at this RANDOM part where Isha starts laughing RANDOMLY! SO W*F! I get that you're trying to show the "sweetness" aspect in the story but that was NOT convincing at all! Isha can't express/act at all. She looks childish...and just weird.I have to say though, that Isha didn't look AS un-graceful as she usually does. At least the lifts were flowing. That's an improvement from these her. But still, BORING performance. Not worth a 30 at all!Seriously, Salman's choreography is SO superficial!! It's so choppy and LAZY! It's like he RANDOMLY connects whatever he wants to with absolutely no CARE for the story, the flow, the characterization and heck THE SONG!!!Even their performance from Saturday's episode. The prop not cooperating was the least of the problems. The entire act was one BIG W*F!! Seriously W*F was that??!?! That was chaos and weirdness. Not dancing.I can't believe people actually buy the crap that this is good dancing. Give me a break.A good dance should make you want to dance too, touch your heart, connect you in SOME way...but unfortunately Isha and Salman's performances never manage to create that impact. 👎🏼It's plain and clear how much these guys are doing it to SHOW OFF. Then the GENUINE factor is lost. The plain WANTING to dance. Not trying to prove that we're the best. It's a desperate and lame attempt. GENUINE dancing comes from the soul. It comes from within.Phew. I just HAD to rant out. Because these two irritate me beyond words. Just pathetic that these two have brought the standards of this show down.Now, on the other hand, Rithwick is someone who has FINALLY brought up the standards of this show. FINALLY some good dancing!And Sneha is really surprising me as a choreographer. She's doing a great job.Yes Rithwick-Sneha were MILES above Salman-Isha. Their dancing actually had SOUL! It was genuine and from the heart.I especially found it sweet how Rithwick dedicated it to Sneha. And the positivity of the act. The creativity with the lyrical hip hop style for that kind of a song. The song choice. The depth there...not simply showing a broken relationship in a superficial way. But including a bit more depth and layers. And Rithwick was just SO damn GENUINE in that performance.I actually loved their arial act too. MUCH better than any arial Isha has done so far. Atleast it still LOOKED like dance...it was graceful and COMPLEMENTING the music. Whereas Isha makes her movements look like gymnastics not dancing. It's just sad that she's gifted with this flexibility but there's no ART in it. No grace.And I really liked the Andaaz Apna Apna act of Rithwick-Sneha's from last week too. Now THAT'S creativity people! Sneha was brilliantly creative there with her choreography.The only other pair I love watching is Darsheel-Avneet. Now THEY dance full on. And Jai is much too experienced with the different styles of dance and actual dance STEPS he gives these guys. And Avneet is truly the STAR of this show. She can beat any other choreographer/dancer alone. SUCH a delight this girl is to watch. Simply amazing!Everyone else is just ok. Even Rashmi, though she is a great dancer no doubt. But Deepak-Rashmi are a little repetitive for me. Not as creative in their performances as Darsheel-Avneet and Rithwick and Sneha.I am really glad Rithwick-Sneha got the jodi award or whatever. They deserved it. :)
