I partially agree with you. I didn't hate Monaya's performance but I am really disappointed.

1) Mohit: Man, I've been expecting to see Mohit dance since 2 weeks now. The performance after the one where he forgot the steps was beautiful. I liked how they choreographers went easy on him, to be able to mask his weaknesses. Then they did the tango, again Mohit was just lifting, but I overlooked it because I thought ok it is tango, they didn't have enough steps for him. Then they did the sensual dance, again Mohit was overshadowed by Sanaya, I thought ok maybe next week since this was sensual performance lol. But this week again...
and this week it is like- okay cannot pick on his dancing since sensitive theme involved.
Honestly though, keeping the theme aside, there was absolutely no good reason this time for Mohit to again do all the lifting, and a little bit of dancing. This could have been his performance too in equal measure.
Though I do have to applaud the efforts of the choreographers, they are doing an excellent job at binding the performance together and at the same time ensuring Mohit has to do minimal dancing.
The problem is audience can notice, and Mohit will have to dance equal if not more to Sanaya one day. Otherwise, the scoring will keep becoming more and more unjustified.

2) Scoring: They were scored on the basis of their 'act', not the dance, for the reliance on visuals, set design and also since it is a sensitive theme.
TBH the scoring is wayyy off, that is what is irksome. They scored Bharatvarsh's performance less because Harsh did not dance much, but IMHO even Mohit didn't dance. Again it is because of the theme Monaya chose.
Then there was Divek's sadma performance where DT didn't dance as much but they scored a 29. Now another contrasting example is Sabigail's second performance which was underscored because of less dancing which is absolute BS now if you compare it with other emotional acts like Divek, Sid-Trupti.
The judges are seriously confused and it reflects in their scoring.

3) The connect: It is subjective, some people will really connect to it, and some people won't.
It won't make the latter less sensitive; maybe they find other acts/documentaries on the subject more thought provoking and moving. It is all very subjective. If some people loved it, then it is fine, it is their emotions, their way of viewing, and what they connect with.

Now let's take the 26/11 theme out of the dance. Did the performance have enough dance to be scored a 29? The answer is no. It was overall very pleasing to watch but it was a 27 at best.

I am still hoping that next week Mohit will do some dhamaka, because the themes cannot always come to their rescue. Will have to overlook again this week because it is very difficult to view things objectively when it involves people's emotions, you cannot easily disconnect from it. That is why even my take on the scoring could be misplaced because the judges could be viewing the performance subjectively; it may have struck a chord with them hence the marks.

I guess TM is someone who has achieved ''maharath'' in contemporary dance and might as well be Terrence's guru, to give such ''FACTS'' 🤣

TM keeps stating all her opinions as undeniable facts.

And "we people" cannot accept the well established "facts" 🤣
