Well said! Completely agree on both points! Vrushali was DEFFO better than Vaishnavi in the solo round. I was shocked to see the judges giving her 7s and even more shocked to see SHIAMAK DAVAR trying to teach classical technique to Vrushali who's an accomplished classical dancer.....laughable😆.....poor Vrushali also had no clue where his random comments about elbows and whatnot were coming from😆......Vaishnavi has done better lavnis than this in the past....ek toh the UV lights totally made the act fall flat and even other than that, I feel her expressions have been better than this in her past performances....so I wouldn't give this an 8 or higher scores than Vrushali.....no ways. Vrushali was extremely elegant and her moves were smooth and on beat.....I dunno what Shiamak Davar was babbling about.

And totally agree about Prince having the edge on Dharmesh in that act....I thoroughly enjoyed the act overall cuz they are both superb dancers.....but Prince edged D out in this one.....he just had an extra sort of spark to him......you've described it perfectly......his moves were crisper, sharper and stiffer as was the requirement of his style. Also I feel he did a better job than D in expressions in some bits as well......especially the nautanki bits of the act😆



Thank you! Shiamak was criticizing her hand movements and footwork!! 😆 Even in terms of expressions, Vrushali was much ahead of Vaishnu.. I like them both, but talking from the dance pov.. Vaishnu has done awesome performances before, so expect much more graceful performance from her, and proper expressions too.. Expressions are critical for Lavani, and the dance steps are more folk style and not modern kind..

I would like to see a face off of Vrushali and Kruti for Bharatanatyam, then hear what Shiamak would say to each one!!! 😆

You went to her NJ school? Wow! She has done so many classical dances in the movies during her time, and she was too good!! 😃



Yup, I was in her NJ school for a bit, but then she started teaching in New York at this Hindu Temple. So it was perfect for me and due to the NY location, I was able to still learn from her. ⭐️

@ bold: I completely agree with you!!! 😃 She is just so beautiful and graceful in her performances and I am blessed to have learned from her!

Rappy, I posted about Shobana on page four of this thread.. Here's the link to my post:
https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/post/41567363

Padmini is an old time actress and has acted in South movies as well as Hindi - during Raj Kapoor era.. Shobana is Padmini's niece.. They hail from Kerala, one of the southern state of India.. Their original ancestor family home is in my hometown!!!

Which Shobana do you mean by old actress? This Shobana started her career in Malayalam movies in 1984 (btw her first movie name is April 18, which is the same day as today!!), and she still shows her face in selected movies.. She has looked the same all these years, and she is in her mid 40s!! Same for Vineeth too!! He is still looked at as a college boy!!

Vineeth is Padmini's nephew through marriage.. So related to Shobana through Padmini.. Yes, Vineeth did the dancer role in the remakes of that movie - the original one was in Malayalam, but all the remakes (Tamil, Telugu, Hindi) had Vineeth in the same role.. He was supposed to do it in Malayalam too but his dates clashed and so they had to bring a Kannada dancer to do it..

You understand Telugu?





yes!!! that shobana! i said old actress meaning that she was in old films, not that she is old! 😆 yea, she is a fantastic dancer! and padmini who? kohlapuri or whatever? the old actress?

vineeth is fantastic! i saw lots of his movies like prema desam and stuff. but i was shocked to see him dance so well. good for him!

lol! i am from AP, hon! telugu is my language!😆 u telugu?

u know, its kinda unfair to vaishu, she maybe amazing, but she still has miles to go before reaching vrushali's level of maturity and control, when among kids she was extraordinary but now among the big leaguerers she does seem to lack at times, but then again she is only 11-12

i read soemwhere shiamak has made his dance style a mixture of jazz and kathak, so it means he must have trained a bit and not totally a dufus, i wonder why he would want her to extned her arms like a ballet dancer, maybe no classical practise for yrs

LOL... I was trying hard to remember if there was another Shobana before her!! 😆 I know, she started so long ago and I used to think her as old too, but watching her movies I started to ignore my thoughts about her age! She still looks so pretty and young as always!! Of course she was in the peak of her beauty in the 1990s... So beautiful in the movies during that period..

Padmini is not that one, she acted in Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi and all during the 1950s and 1960s.. She acted with Raj Kapoor in Hindi, and many Tamil movies with Shivaji Ganesan and all the heroes of that time.. Vineeth is a trained classical dancer! He used to be the Champion in All Kerala School Competition for many years, and no one could beat him until he finished his high school and stopped participating!! LOL... He still looks the same - he dances so well to this day, and dance would be the secret of his energy and younger looks.. Cannot believe both Vineeth and Shobana are in their mid 40s!! I recently saw Vineeth in a Mallu Actors' function, and he hasnt changed, rather look younger than before! Shobana judged a dance reality show last year on Surya TV (Malayalam), which had the "jodi" (pair) concept like DIDD, but one male and one female pairs.. She looked like in her 20s in that!!

Nah, I am from Kerala... Hence the reason I jump in to talk about mallu folks! 😉 😃

yes indeed! she is pretty! i did see her in some movies! and i think they were most probably telugu since i don't understand malayalam!😆

this is her, isn't it?




oh i see! wrong padmini then!😆 i dunno this one! i've never seen her. as for vineeth, i have seen him only in telugu movies. again, for the same reason. i don't understand anything but hindi and telugu.😆 he is a fab actor and a fab dancer.

haha! cool!

Yes, Vaishnu was very good on the LM show, but still need a lot more polishing... I used to love Papiya too among the girls.. The good thing about many kids who dance is that they can do a lot of styles with ease rather than just one style as a forte.. But then they also get mixed up with so many different styles.. That's what has happened with Vaishnu; she is in fact trained in classical dance I believe as she did classical for LM audition...

Yes, I read the same too, I remember.. Not sure if he is well trained in Kathak though.. Since Kathak has four forms, I dont know which Gharana he is trained in... He is mixed up with the arm extensions used for Contemporary I think.. He might have forgotten the real basics of classical postures and mudras..

Yes, that's Shobana!! Her eyes are so expressive!!! She is a fabulous actress too!! Most good actresses in Malayalam are trained classical dancers too - there is a connection with the expressions they learn for classical dances, but they also know how to keep the limits - not to have over expressions in acting but need them for dance..

This is that Padmini, who is the aunt of Shobana and Vineeth... Shobana looks a lot like her aunt Padmini... I think Padmini would have acted in Telugu movies too, maybe with NTR..
