My Review: Fourth Episode

And I'm back for all those people who love my reviews thank you! This is kind of my first time doing this type of thing. 😉

Praising the contestants - I like how Akshay started the episode with a joke, but then became serious praising the contestants.

Gold card - Now that's a new thing. I was wondering if any contestant gets a boost if they do really good and suddenly this comes up. We don't know yet what this card is about, but I'm sure it's like one of those power cards that will give someone a boost above the others.

Sanam's performance - Why did they spend so much time on his rehearsals this time? Yesterday they spent only 10 - 15 seconds on each, but here they spent about a minute on him. Not that I mind. it gave us a good look into what he was experiencing when he was practicing. Ah Mast Magan. Such a sweet song. I felt that Sanam could have done so much better. There were some places where he lost the beat to the song, but he would pick up quickly and get back again. I must say though that he did really well overall. Akshay also said the same that his dance was something that isn't seen underwater usually. And he got green from both judges.

Scarlett's performance - She chose the song Teri Meri. I like that she went in even though she has a fear after she almost drowned once. She is really taking herself to the next level. But once again I feel she's using the emotional touch to get points for herself. She had a lovely performance. It was slow just like the song and there was sync between both. She got a green from both as well. Then getting Prince to do Teri Meri in popping and locking was too much fun.

Sayantani's performance - Someone explain to me why is Sayantani scared of water if she's claustrophobic? Claustrophobia is fear of closed spaces not fear of water! Now she's using the emotional touch to get points for herself as well by getting Akshay to come with her. The dance was weird to me. I don't exactly know what she was doing there. I liked that the cameras also showed Akshay shooting the performance. It tells you that he wasn't just saying it but he's also doing it. She got a red and a green once again. This time her dance was less and her stunts/tricks were more. And today she revealed that she isn't happy with her choreographer. But like they say there are 2 sides to every story. Today just because she didn't do well in dance she blames her choreographer, but Akshay is quick to point out that maybe she isn't doing it properly. And then I like how the contestants gave their input. It's not targeting one person, but giving two sides of a story.

Karan's performance - There is a surprise under this. Akshay jokes not to surprise them by not showing up naked. Then he jokes again that Romeo and Juliet will sing Punjabi songs and Heer and Ranjhna will sing English songs. But I do agree with Akshay in this second joke. If Karan's concept was Romeo Juliet then he should have chosen an English song, but nonetheless I liked his performance. He had nice moves and the two were in sync rather nicely. Akshay's comment about the kiss was hilarious. Karan got 2 greens nicely!

Amar's performance - Why the mention of 2 red cards again? It's like the last performer has to get 2 red cards or something! Or is it one performer each week? That's not right at all if that's how it is! Behne De. I like the choice of the song. Matches the dance floor. I liked the performance by Amar. The wheel was well used. Akshay liked the performance and he points out that it's already morning now as well. Amar gets one green and one red for a mistake. Really? For one mistake he gets a red? Did no one notice the fact of how well he came back from that back flip. I think everyone makes mistakes in their dance. So why does he get penalized?

Extreme Dance Hero - It was Prince. Because of this I went back and watched his performance again and I would like to take back my comments from yesterday. I realized the video I watched yesterday was shoddy and that's why Prince's performance looked shoddy to me. Prince did extremely well and that's why I apologize for my comments from yesterday.

Dancing on a moving truck - That'll be a cool stunt for next week! Looking forward to it!

^ I was waiting for your post. 😃 You write really well. My thoughts are all over the place when I have write them down.
Here goes my review.
Sanam: He mentioned he will combine Indian but I saw really less of it besides the few hand movements. It wasn't a bad performance but not up to his standard.
Scarlet: Kudos to her for going inside the water if the near drowning incident has happened to her. I enjoyed her performance as whole and many times the tail effect of the mermaid really looked amazing.
Karan: Out of all the performances today, this was my favourite. The ballroom dancing movements clearly came through and the song was nice too (it's an Indian show- there'll be Hindi film songs only).
Shantani: I've given up on this girl, she'll have an excuse ready for everything that'll ever go wrong and it'll never be her fault. Her performance was messy. She did dance though so I felt the red should have come for the stunts which she couldn't execute properly.
Amar: This would have been my favourite today had that mistake not happened and it was too big a mistake that could've been overlooked. I still liked the act and that backflip where they touched each others feet is still in my mind. He got on red. Fair enough but what I liked the most was how he took it and admitted to mistake himself with no excuses and justifications. 👏
I also like the introduction of the gold card, will be something that'll take the good performers ahead.
In totality the idea of dancing under water was nice, but somewhere it was a limitation too for setting choreography. Due to this I felt everyone's performances barring one or two had the same feel to it. Soft, slow and very flowy, which is no ones fault.
And did anyone notice nearly all of them did a foot turning/ swirling on head/arm?

I think it's one of the easiest moves that looks good as well. That's probably why.

I agree with you Kunwar Amar did one mistake and he got one red fair enough but what about those contestants who gt two green for their messy n clumsy acts 🤔 I am very proud of Kunwar he himself admitted his mistake without any excuses 😊

its okay if they give red card for him for his mistake but at the same time there were other contestants also who made lots of mistakes and a bit clumsy they should have also got red cards im disapointed this time with the decision
but man mark my words u were outstanding in your performance
very very proud of u and love u always Kunwar Amarjeet Singh.

prince getting performance of the day was fair enough
but if that one mistake didnt happen then definitely kunwar would have got performance of the day.

Kunwar getting red card for 1 mistake comparing to others it wasnt fair as many mistakes were made by them wich were clearly visible

but than red card to him for 1 mistake shows the level of expectations from him

not even a single mistake is allowed atleast for him😆

I liked Kunwar's act he was really good with that outfit

No worries one red its OK he'll work harder n come back with a bang..

Actually I think Sayatani has a point here the judge said her act lacked dance but choreography is set by professionals so this point by judge was wrong .. but despite she deserved that red because she slipped once or twice and missed postures..

@ Bold: Exactly my point. If he got a red card then technically some of the other contestants should have as well. Yes his mistake was a big one, but you should also look at how a contestant handles that mistake and he handled it so well that for a moment you didn't realize he missed a twirl.
