quick analysis - 3/1/11 - Page 2

shekar: it didnt interest me.. i skipped some of the dance bit... but it was obvious that there was no connection between the three of them and all three of them were there for personal reasons. vidya looked pretty and tried her best... shekar as usual was okay, tries too hard.. like remo said, the rawness, anger and sheer vitality of a man was missing.. so the score was fair. i would have given same marks for trying.

I won't analyze fully, but will say something only about Sushant. He got highest 30 marks yesterday and others were far from him. So, only will tell my opinion for him.
It seems like this time Sushant is gonna win. Obviously, because he is a well trained...no, he is the most trained dancer here. He has got an amazing choreographer. He should get 30 each time, not for his dance, but for the concept and choreography. One thing, I must say that I think Sushant's dance steps are almost the same from that episode where he got first 30. Yesterday too I felt that this dance steps were done by him continuously for 3 episodes. He deserved 27 for concept, but his dancing was same as usual. Most of the steps were being used from the very beginning for him. Still he is getting 30. How lucky he is!! If Daya is to be blamed for using same and basic steps, Sushant too should be blamed for the same. The judges are concentrating on their previous charm about him, not on his present performance. It's very unfair for the other participants.
Please Sushant fans don't take it otherwise, but I'm feeling that it is being unfair with most of the contestants there except Sushant. Sorry, it's my opinion.

Shekhar- I feel he doesn't let himself out, he definitely has the potential to make for a great performance, but he restricts himself. The lifts that Shekhar has attempted so far have been faulty, and I have mixed opinions about it. On one hand, he is quite old, but on the other, he is jacked and should be able to perform the lifts with ease. The choreography today was good, not bad, was somewhat vague, but still understandable. And I think Preeti needs to give more scope to Shekhar within a performance.

Daya- The bad part about the dance was that it was really very, very simple and basic, and unlike his previous performance(and Remo's previous comments), not suitable for a competition, especially at such a stage. But I guess that is justified due to the absence of Vrushali. Nice of Jai to help out, really appreciate him for that👏 Daya was good, but then again the steps were too easy, and the style was given the title 'Bollywood' aka an amalgamation of different dance forms aka freestyle dancing. Hopefully they give slightly more emphasis on the dance than the performance(if there is a next time, I fear that he's gonna get eliminated next)

Sushant- I think this time around Sushant really deserved a 30! Won't comment on the dance, wonderfully choreographed them, the storytelling was very creative and awesome, and what I liked is, even though Sushant was given most of the opportunity, Shampa and Reshma were given ample space to perform too! Wonderfully done!👏

Ragini- After Daya, I am a huge fan of Ragini. But like Neeta Di said, where was the dance? There was sooo much potential in this performance. But Neerav was not able to utilize it and transform it into a 30. Really disappointing!

Completely agree with your post. Sushant definitely deserved the 30, their performance moved me to tears. The coordination between the 3 was perfect and like Malaika said, it was the only dance that actually used the concept of Teen ka Tadka well.👏👏👏


I am really scared for Ragini. Her choreographer is more interested in making her act than dance. Also, does he fancy himself a scriptwriter??? 😕 Every dance is interrupted by some mushy, usually hackneyed dialogue. Even the concept of conjoined twins wasn't original....duh, we all know about Amber Dhara. To cap it all, despite her popularity, she doesn't get votes. If she gets voted out this week, I will blame Neerav for it.😡

Haven't watched ragini's performance .. but from whatever I saw in the promos and precap .. neerav seems to have messed it up big time ...
Nothing wrong with going for high emotional quotient .. but concentrating only on that and not the dance part is a huge blunder ..
if you are making conjoined twins dance , you need a real smart piece of choreography ..

Sushant is getting 30s, so scrutiny will start. If we go into dance, then absolutely there are flaws like his landing is never smooth, lot of time his legs shake. But anyway in comparision of other he and Yana are brilliant.

I agree with your analysis, I am true Ragini fan, but I am scared for her, woud definetly miss her if she is eliminated, her choreographer is quite weak, i am feeling so so sorry, and kind of feeling now that the stage is set only for Sushant to win, I am not saying out of envy or anything but it really feels like it. No offence to his fans as he is Pro dancer , and all the others look like bachas infront of him and Yana as well, its unfair or they are lucky.

I thought Sushant deserved his 30. They brought something new to the stage and it was well done in terms of all the things. I wish Ragini's was also that good. The emotions were great, but there was no dance. No offense, just my opinion.

If Sushant wins Jhalak, it's cause he totally deserves it.

Hello people!

I appreciate everyone's takes. Here's mine:

1.) Shekhar: The initial zing which I had liked in his first performance is no longer there! I was so wishing Sushant had done something like that in his first performance! And now what is Shekhar and his choreo doing?
I think Shekhar has lots of potential and his choreo really needs to work hard to bring it out in a better way.

2.) Ragini: When I had heard of the concept, then itself I was think how are conjoined twins gonna dance? If one is in love with Rags, then why should the other dance with joy and so on- doesn't make sense. And I was right. Very good concept, no doubt, but dance is foremost. They should have thought of it a little bit as how to whether the idea is executable or not. Just getting good ideas is not enough.

Ragini sure has a lot of potential- Neerav should use that and put the story alongside the dance.

21 was okay I think.😊

3.) Sushant: Some people said it wasn't as good as his 'Mrityunjay' performance. But I feel one cannot compare it with Mrityunjay. Mrityunjay laid more stress on storytelling and scenes, this one laid more stress on the 'three' and the dance-modern contemporary- expressing solely through body mvements. Mrityunjay was more on the classical side, this was a completely different form. Mrityunjay was a controlled yet fierce performance, this one was expressed in a different way. Mrityunjay was devised to be made grand, larger than life, this one- owing to its patriotic theme- was deliberately made to be somber.

I feel the two cannot be compared. If asked to chose one, I would chose Mrityunjay, I liked it more cos of its grandness and the story- but this act was perfect too. I understand why the judges gave Sushant a 30- he had done justice to the theme he had chosen- a patriotic one- done in a somber way, with perfect body language, and a really strong concept. He clearly had the best concept- when you hear the word 'three' the first thing that you imagine (If you are an Indian) is obviously the tricolour. It is synonymous with 'three' I feel.👍🏼

It would have been difficult to deduct marks, especially when the 3 had conveyed the message and theme most beautifully. Their expressions were spot on. The best part I liked was when Sushant (signifying peace) almost died out due to the fights between the two girls (signifying our religious fanatism which always affects the innocent party most)😭. Even the ending I liked- it was like a warning- when the two girls ran to a dying Sushant (peace)---- the message was---- analyse where we are going wrong before you ruin everything for everyone.👏

I always praise Sushant and Shampa, but I'll give a special word of praise here for Rashmi. Very good job done.

All in all, a well deserved 30, though Mrityunjay remains my favourite as of now.

4.) Finally---- Daya:

I'll be honest, I didn't like the scores given to him. I mean, if they were portraying Circuit and Munna Bhai, then they would be doing 'bhai type' steps na? So why should that be dismissed? I felt that the basic steps were a requirement of the dance this time. IF we had seen Munna and Circuit doing some complex dance, it wouldn't have gone with the theme.

Okay, choreography is important, but come on judges-- so less? I would have given him 24.

I want Daya to come with a dhassu performance next week, even Shekhar. They have the potential.

@niki .. liked your comments ..
btw have you noticed ? sushant has "died" in all his four performances ..
