Akshay's entry - He has a fiery entry. Literally. And it was too cool like always! 👏


Contestants know about challenge - YES! Rithvik accidentally revealed that they know about the dare already. 😆 And the biggest part was that they have to dance with fire on their body somewhere for at least 30 seconds. That's scary. 😲

Amar's performance - He's doing crump and semi-classical. His rehearsals looked quite scary. For the first time he looked like he was trying to keep as far back as possible from the props he was using. I don't know what song he was dancing to, but it really matched the concept of his performance and his dance. The stick was too cool and his performance was superb as well. Akshay liked the performance and I did too. He got 2 greens. Akshay told them to be scared of her as well.

Alisha's performance - There was some teasing with how boys propose and then Akshay tells Rithvik to propose to her. 🤣 Akshay says that he's going to propose to her if she does well. She's doing contemporary and it can be seen how she practices also a bit scared of the fire. She uses fire first on gloves and then she wears a ghagra which is put on fire as well. I must say that was a double dare in a way and I loved her performance overall as well. Akshay is wondering who to give a red card to. That's quite true. Both performances so far were really good. She gets 2 greens as well. And then Akshay proposes to her. Too much fun again! 🤣

Sanam's performance - He says he's going to put fire on a few places. His rehearsal had him practicing with wings and he was having problems with the fire as well it seems. He starts by blowing fire and even Akshay gets worried for a few seconds. The part with the wings was good. I feel he's trying to live up to the fact that he deserves the gold card. I did feel that the song didn't match his performance at points or maybe it was just his face expressions, but overall he did a great job. Akshay explained where the risk was. He gets 2 greens and then Akshay explains the risk to him as well.

Mayuresh's performance - He's doing contemporary as well. Some joking with Rithvik about inner fire to win. 🤣 His rehearsals have him practicing quite a bit and Sanam says his movement gets restricted, but he'll find a way out of it. Amar says that the Mayuresh he knows is restricted somewhere still. Really? Well I hope to see this real Mayuresh soon. I loved how he moved around and seemed to bring the fire on with his hands. That was too cool! I didn't feel though that his performance had as much energy as it usually does. There was something missing and Akshay pointed that out at as well. He gets red from Sanjay. I like how Akshay cleared here that he isn't just one to give dares, but he'll take them as well.

Prince's performance - He says he's going to try something different. Amar and Mayuresh point out all the risks in his performance. He didn't just fire on himself, he's dancing in between fire the whole time. But I felt that his performance wasn't exactly a dance, but rather more like he was practicing or doing gymnastics. He was walking around more than dancing as well. Akshay enjoyed it and it was a daring performance. He gets 2 greens after the judges scare him some. Good job for him!

Emilie's performance - She got called imli. Emilie: I'm going to perform Munni Badnaam Hui Darling Tere Liye. Akshay: Kha kha ke aam huyi darling tere liye. 🤣 In the practices we see that she almost got burned. She did a full dance this time. And I loved it! Something different to see for her! She gets 2 greens as well.

Shreya waiting for your review and seems like the forum is dead today. Anyhow here goes my review for todays episode before I forget what I want to write.
If I understood Akshay correctly then the dare was to place fire on a part of the body for a min. of 30 seconds and dance. Based on that I'll review the dare part.
Amar: The focused guy is back. I liked the crumping and a bit of Indian, though I'd have preferred to see him only do krump because he was good at it. I have to honestly say you can't slot him into any category because every style he does, looks like as if that's his style. He took the dare literally and placed fire on one part of his body and danced. Not too daring but thankfully it was smooth and he didn't get stuck or take too long putting the fire on/off him (which is where some went wrong).
Also liked how Akshay told the others that he's a strong contender, I always thought he was regardless of the two red cards as he's very focused and determined.
Alisha: She's hands down the best female dancer and she proved it again today. The fire on the skirt looked so dangerous esp the ending when she sat. She managed that very well. With the spins, she killed two birds with a stone because the dare element was there along with turns in her semi-classical Indian contemporary. She deserved the AK is OK. I still feel she's not getting enough credit on this show. She's been performing consistently and not just dares.
Sanam: In terms of overall packaging, his act was the best. The wings just gave a majestic effect. But this was not his best by a stretch. In the beginning whilst breathing the fire something definitely went off.
Mayuresh: At the onset I have to say he and Prince played the most with fire. I liked Mayuresh performance; his contemporary was good and the lines clean. The only part were he made a mistake was when he had to light the fire on his lower leg, it took him and long and he got on the second try. But his dare was no less considering he was very close to the fire most of the time. He deserved two greens.
Sanjay couldn't even justify his red card. The part he pointed out when he went back to create the form with those bars was smooth and graceful and lost?? They definitely have to bring a better judge for the dancing if there's going to be a next season.
Prince: Like I pointed out above he and Mayuresh used the fire element the most. Prince was dancing in the fire practically throughout the performance. A plus point for him is that he dances very fast so he gets to show more steps. I could have punched Sanjay on my screen had he given him a red. I nearly fell for it.
Emillie: Sanam pointed out how she would be dancing in todays performance and I actually saw her dance today and my gut instinct were right. Not that it was very bad or she made mistakes. She definitely can dance but needs a lot more practice. I found her very heavy footed in some places and honestly had Sanjay not said she was performing Samba, I would have just said this was a Bollywood performance. The hip swivels were weak, very weak.
I don't have a favourite today. Most were good but none were WOOOW.

@Shreya What Amar and a few others have previously said about Mayuresh not showing his full potential with different reasons, is because anyone that has seen him in DID 1 would say that this is not the same guy. He had such flair and he used to dance so effortlessly that's not been seen on this show so far. (I thought in last weeks performance, the flair was back).

I've never seen him in DID because I don't watch that, but really I see where they're coming from. In the first week and last week it was like it was a clone Mayuresh who had this unbelievable energy and passion for dance. The other 3 weeks I've been mildly disappointed with his performances because he seemed to lack energy and passion.

There's one thing I wish they had showed in the episode and not in XR. Akshay asked them to write out one weakness and gave them positive advice to fix it. I liked it. It was a way to show how Akshay and the contestants are bonding.

Thanks for the reviews guys.
The episode didn't have any brilliant performance. All were good but nothing that gave a WOW feeling.
Best act IMO out of the 6 performances yesterday was Alishas.
