Dayum guys!
I'm totally amazed at how well Abigail performed the ballet.
It's literally the most difficult dance form ever and those pointy shoes kill you but this girl performed all the ballet moves like a pro. Sanam has always been a firm favourite and he always nails his performances but it's a sheer joy to watch him in his element...this guy is beautiful with his pirouttes, spins and leaps. Despitethe plethora of more " famous" faces, you can't take your eyes of this guy.
What a performer!
I wish that they chose a better theme though.. I have no complaints with this performance but I think using the Radha-Krishna theme restricted them from going all out in ballet like you see in international shows.


But the biggest surprise came in the form of Monaya.
I have never been a fan of Mohit's dance and expressions but boy, he was so good today.
he did not have that constipated look that he usually sports while doing intense scenes and Sanaya's powerful woman avatar was a treat to watch.
they have improved leaps and bounds no doubt, the only complaint I had about them was that their performances used to look very rehearsed, it was especially noticeable while doing contemporary and freestyle but today I can guarantee that it would be difficult to find faults in their performance.
It happened so organically, the transitions did not look delayed or graceless at all...I just love how Nishant used the Indian political context in this manner, reminded me of Anuja Chauhan's book " Battle For Bittora"
I'm not sure if these 2 will win or not especially coz there are other people who have been very consistent but I'm really happy to see how far these 2 have come, especially Mohit. Sanaya wasn't a great dancer either prior to this, but she has learnt the finesse associated with being a good performer which will really help her along.

11/6:

Thanks to hotstar, got around to watch the next lot of performances as well.

Abi n sanam, what can I say?
I never imagined that it was even possible to do krumping for a theme like that and having a somg like laal Ishq. it's one of my top favourite bollywood songs and to perform like thaaat on such a deep, sensual song is amazing!
Even Terence got stumped.
Abi sure got the entire swag with those shoulder and chest movements. This was so different and i oved that they hardly used any props, it was just them going out and performing.

Monaya were really good too. i loved how the performance was so soft, serene and delicate and both of them aced it.
Wish there was a little more to the choreography though.

Really liked Dipika's sexy side but imo that act wasn't worthy of a 30. Sure, it looked good, but it had little meat strictly from the dancing pov.

Actually liked Divek today. Theeir dancing has never been great but the drama and the entire act really was impactful. I liked Vivek's solo portion the best. I would compare it to Monaya's 26/11 act because like that one, I have mixed feelings about this act of divek's.. On one hand, it was really impactful due to the drama quotient and the ending but compared to the rest, in terms of pure dance, they still have a long way to go.

My best pick of the day would be Sanam-Abi hands down.
They were the ace truly by more than a mile although all of them got perfect scores.

Today abi was like a cute balarina God never underestimate this girl she was cute radha seeing her I was imagining barbie and the 12 princesses.
This act of Monaya was outstanding. Mohits efforts was visible. There anger hatred all were quiet neatly shown. It was like fighting between Sonia Gandhi and Narendra modi. Quiet funny imagination I have.

Vivek did not do much for me but I liked Divyanka for the first time. She looked super beautiful and did the classical bits with ease.

Loved loved loved AbiNam's performance 👏 Abi has come such a long way from her initial days that its remarkable .I so want these two to win the trophy this time. Also special mention to DiVek -they were surprisingly really good today. I quite enjoyed their act .Just watched Monaya's act online. It was okay (expressions were funny) but Mohit was better today .His efforts showed.


I'm totes rooting for Abinam for the trophy. That bit with Salman was so cute.
I dunno why but Mohit always looks funny when he is trying to be intense but I actually liked his dance today for the first time,

Abi looked like a barbie in that getup.
I love how genuine thee 2 are.

As for Monaya's act, Sanaya was actually styled lked Sonia Gandhi with that white streak of hair near the bangs.😛

I was actually imagining the leads of Battle For Bittora, you should try that book if you are into reading. It's a very nice, kinda filmy rom-com set against the backdrop of the elections.

I am sure that he is and I'm glad that his efforts finally translated on screen.
Even last week he didn't have too much to do.

I agree. This was Monaya's best performance and Mohit was fab. Enjoyed Abinam's Ballet too but the song selection could have been better since they could have shown more of the ballet steps if not for the song IMO.
