ok so i saw the post just now nd read all the comments...positive criticizm i must say nd i respect that..

couple work b/w tushar nd sjakti needs hell lot of attention.
chemistry is missing outright...
i deny thay she is in her comfort zone coz both ballet nd tango were her 1st tym...
laal ishq was a beautiful performance bt it failed to give me goosebumps which i literally receive after her performance...
yeah iys either tushar or shakti nd they need to overcome that...
having shakti as partner...i feel tushar is playing safe which should change asap...
both her best in their job nd tit bits of improvement will make them 40 deserver

No, Himani, I didn't mean their individual dancing, but the decision making process. Someone is overpowering someone else there in the process itself, hence the end result of safe performances. What I think is that this season will establish Tushar's popularity as a choreographer, but do absolutely nothing to help their pairing. As wonderful as Shakti is as a soloist, her couple work lacks connection and Tushar-Shakti's difference in strength are not helping their case. Mouni and Tushar share a similar forte in classical, hence IMHO, Mouni-Punit are not clicking well together either. From her DID days, her couple work has been shaky, so they are dealing with a case of incompatibility in performances. Although, I should mention that I liked their last performance much better than the rest, it was near flawless according to me and I noticed both of them.

Oh yes, my bad I misunderstood. I agree. Something is going wrong in the decision making process. ...given how ambitious, or even overambitious, Tushar was with someone like Ekta, I'm inclined to think it's Shakti overriding Tushar on the decision making process. Plus they're getting 40's, so I doubt much will change. It's the judges responsibility to point out mistakes after all but our judging panel ALWAYS lets the trained dancers get complacent from the very first performance.

It's not that Shakti-Tushar don't share fortes. Tushar is a trained contemporary dancer. He is well trained in aerial and kalari as well. Shakti has definitely done these styles before. Tushar's other great strength is Mayur Bhanj Chau which Shakti doesn't know. But together they don't come together properly. Tango was ALL about Shakti when it should have been about both, which Tushar accepted.

I wouldn't say Shakti's couple work has always been shaky; she truly gave mesmerizing duets with Amar and they complemented each other well, despite the fact that he was an untrained dancer on DID.. she gelled best with him..there was a great duet with Parvez also. With Punit, her contemporary has always been MUCH stronger so she overpowered him completely. Actually, I think Punit's contemporary is ok, I was never amazed by it like I was with Shakti, Mayuresh, Amar, Jai...and even Salman is a good contemporary dancer. With Jai, many things went wrong in the performance.

I don't think lack of connect between partners is a problem with Mouni-Punit. I think Mouni is holding herself back for some reason. She hasn't let go and is nervous/scared on stage. She isn't truly enjoying what she's doing and seems under-confident.

Well even though I enjoy their performances BUT I have to agree that there is definitely a certain disconnect between two and the chemistry required is not coming out...
They need to work really hard on that and need to give a dance performance as a couple rather than concentration going on either Shakti or Tushar!

Also judges need to stop giving 40s like toffees, Both to Shakti as well to Akshat! They have huge scope of improvement and deduction of few marks will only improve their dance in future...

This is precisely what I was talking about. Amar and Shakti gave some amazing duet performances together, do you remember that absolutely fabulous Satrangi re performance and Shakti's strut at the end after murdering him? That was some choreography, man. On DID, I have always felt Shakti connected only with Amar as a pair, nobody else.
However, my point is I have never felt connection with her other partners ever on DID, she was just okay with the rest of them. Hence, my point about her couple-work being a little shaky and something that needs to be improved without overpowering the partner. But yes, that is strictly my opinion, people can feel differently.
About Punit-Mouni, Mouni was pretty good last night, but I am not feeling any connection between them either, nothing like Shibani-Punit, Lauren-Punit toh I won't even talk about.
+1 at nothing is going to change. Judges have already made them complacent and they will keep trying the same ol' everyday. :/

Both Mouni Punit and Shakti Tushar deserved less than 40. IMO shakti, lost her footing, not good expressions, shaky mudras they should have got 36
and mouni same, contortions were good, but her forte classical, the tandav could have been stronger, the postures were a midway between Kathak BN and her hand work was not that strong. I guess they chose rudra tanvad aspect and compared to that the hands were really soft and weak. However the steps were completed and keeping with Indian there were more Indian, so I would give Mouni-Punit 37.

As for pairing I agree, Mouni would have faired better with Tushar maybe and Shakti someone like Deepak who knows Ballroom really well.

but both Tushar and Punit has done good and very good work with more limited contestants and they take time to show stuff. I am hoping it will be same here for both of them.

In any case, judges need to point the flaws out and stop handing 40 . But who am I kidding, these are the judges who gave Salman Isha 30 s, 8 weeks straight regardless of performance.

this is exactly what I think... I am huge KriYaansh/Arsha fan... And I have following them like crazy... But watching shakti-tushar .. I simply cannot connect with them... It's just two amazing dancers dancing SEPARATELY .. Just like what Maks said there's no chemistry between them... Their dance is superb no words ...but the connection is missing 😭
