Well I have been reading a lot about how ragini's dance isnt a FOLK Dance..so a liitle bit of info on her dance...as per the epi..they did Dappan Koothu..So here's the info of the dance on wikipedia...
Dappan Koothu (Tamil: ?????????????), means dance, is a folk dance and music genre with an emphasis on percussion performed in Tamil Nadu, India.[1] It has become one of the several popular genres employed in the film music: [2] Tamil cinema.[3]
Unlike classical Indian dances such as bharatnatyam or kathakali, koothu is relatively informal
And the info goes on that...
Facial expressions are employed for effect by the dancers. For example, the tongue, folded over and held in position with the front teeth, is brought out at regular intervals
[edit] Outfit and embellishments
Even though any attire can be worn when one dances the Dappaankuthu, a lungi (colourful cloth wrapped around the waist) is commonly worn and most preferable, with the bottom raised and folded upwards over the knees in the middle.
For more info on the dance..u can check the link:-

Though I agree with the TM that ppl do make fun of diff sections of society with dance forms..but for me..whatever ragz and Neerav didnt seem stereotypical at all...coz though I am not a South Indian,I have been living in South India for around 12 yrs..and every year in my coll/school..there are dances like this...perfromed the same way..either on Nakka Mukka or RInga RInga😛
