Who do you all think the Top 5 should be vs who seem likely to be?

I personally think the deserving Top 3 are Neerja, Prithvi & Anshika. Sanchit and Pratiti should be the other 2. I also love Esha for her tremendous growth and would like her to be in it but ugh.

However, I think Florina will be there instead of Pratiti. Esha might just replace Neerja too because of how channel loves Esha but I don't want that to happen. Neerja should be the winner imo.

What do you all think? Deserving Top 5 vs the probable Top 5. Also, who do you think deserves to be Top 3 (all popularity aside. Popularity included, its pretty obvious it'll be Sanchit & Florina) and deserves to win?

Talent-wise, I think most of them are on the same level - Neerja, Pari, Anshika, Prithvi, Pratiti, Aneesh, Sanchit. I'd also argue Neerja, Anshika and Pratiti are a league above others here. But based on the performances so far, Anshika, Neerja and Pari would be the top 3 imo. The others have had some average acts, or their gurus have disappointed like in Prithvi's case Florina, Esha, Soumit and Amit have a lot of room for improvement. We haven't gotten to see much dance from Arshiya, so can't say about her

As for winner, based on pure talent and for never giving a below-average performance, Anshika should be the winner. But it's also worth saying that Sanchit, Florina and Esha have made a mark on the show with what they do. Sanchit's style is unique and no one can battle like him. Florina's freestyle, battles, and swagger expressions are killer. Esha has shown massive improvement from the auditions, so has Amit. I won't really be disappointed if any of them makes it to the finals tbh. All kids deserve them 👏

Probable Top 5 - Florina, Sanchit, Esha, Anshika, Prithvi?

I agree with all of this tbvh. Prithvi and Aneesh would have been much better if their gurus had been better. Esha and Amit have shown massive improvements, probably because this is the first time they've had good professional training. Esha has been especially good with Sonali.

I want Neerja, Pari, Anshika, Pratiti in top 5 and the fifth not too sure about.

Florina and Sanchit may not be versatile but they are very good at what they do. Unfortunately for Florina her guru didn't showcase so much of what she could do but at least now she's learning something different due to that.

Arshiya has done mostly stunts- and like I guess robedward stated, is a member of Stunt Dancer Chapter 4

Soumit is also good and I feel like if Vaibhav could have made him dance more instead of using him like a prop he would have been much better.

Finally, they are all kids and work hard so I wouldn't really mind anyone in the finale but Neerja, Pari, Anshika, Pratiti, these four, imo are the most deserving. And yes my winner would be Anshika, she's been my favourite since day 1 and very consistent. Credit goes to both her talent and Aryan.

Absolutely! If only Tushar, Shubranil, Vartika and Vaibhav attempted to experiment with their kids, we could have seen a lot more of the their talent. Prithvi is definitely versatile as we have seen from his IG. Florina's strengths have never been utilized. I think she can be versatile as well, be it in bollywood or contemporary. Soumit has also shown he can adapt well to any style, especially how he did the Bharatnatyam performance. Only Sanchit doesn't seem to be versatile, but he's extremely good at what he does already. All of them are. I don't expect everyone to ace every style, but I want the gurus to experiment more instead of just shoving their own individuality over the kids

Yep, considering the gurus, Aryan has been the best this season 👏 Followed by Sonali. Bhawna is also doing good, but she slips now and then 🤪 But whoever goes to the finale and wins, I would be super duper happy for them. For all their talent, I think every kid has been working equally hard every week and deserves the title 😳

For me just on the basis of versatility and solid dancing alone, my top 5 are Neerja, Anshika, Pratiti, Pari and maybe Soumit since he is very quick at picking different styles.

But popularity wise I think top 3 will be Florina, Sanchit and Esha but we have to see the first voting to check the pattern. Honestly can't say anything now. Social media is such that these days Youtube comments and views doesn't really guarantee results on the Sony Liv app so anything can happen at the last moment, especially if it involves 50% public voting and 50% judges scoring which I think should be otherwise why are the judges marking

Now top 5 purely on judges marking, calculating the number of seedhis, sajdas and standing ovations, it would probably be Neerja, Anshika, Pratiti, Pari and Prithviraj.

So too hard to make a decision 😆 But I'm sure Pratiti will reach Top 5 if Shweta is third time lucky as well- coz both in IBD and MBD she/her contestant reached Top 5 and then came third and second respectively which now also leads to Guru's popularity 😆

And so according to Guru's popularity it will definitely be Tushar, Vartika, Shweta, Shubho and Vaibhav/Anu. I don't really see the other gurus being this popular with the audience.

But whatever it is, it's going to be super hard as hell!! I keep going back to previous seasons performances and even though there were many good things about previous seasons but for me atleast I think this season has the most talented kids till date! I honestly want to see how their life goes after the show is over. SD has been a great platform for talent to shine which we can already see- Mishti , Ditya and Dipali became an actress, Tejas, Jayshree etc are doing a film, other kids are shining in Dance Deewane, etc so really eager to see what holds for them in the future. Maybe one day will read about kids like Pari sitting in my rocking chair counting my grey hair since she is so freaking small! 🤣

Yeah, Shweta has seen great success with the audience 😆 Also, I'm 100% sure Aryan is more popular than Shubranil or Anu. Most of the yt comments say Anshika-Aryan are the underdogs and deserve to win. But yeah, not sure how these would convert into votes. Florina and Sanchit are guaranteed top 2 based on popularity. Tushar's fanpages are craaazzyyy

Btw, I think Sanam-Spriha would be back in wc, so Sanam would also top the guru popularity list, and Spriha would split half of the Assam votes with Florina 😆 She'd be a guaranteed finalist if that's the case (I always thought she'd be a finalist since the auditions. The injury was unpredictable 😕)

No other wc entrants would stand a chance since the present kids have had months to build their fanbase.

Oh yes I always keep forgetting to include Aryan for some reason Even I want to know about Spriha's status- whether she will be back or not.I thought she had some serious injury but I see her dancing at her home. I hope she is back, she was very promising!

Ooh definitely! I always thought the SD3 lineup was amazing, but this year is something else 😃 All of the top 13 kids are outstanding in their own right 👏 This is why I don't really bother about the winner. All of the SD kids have enjoyed a degree of popularity and further works after their respective seasons. Mishti was not even in the top 8. Look at her now 🥳 Akash is the most popular kid, and he wasn't even the winner.

This platform would definitely be life-changing for many of them. I also love that Sony doesn't seem to keep any contract with the kids so we get to see them everywhere else, on other shows and channels! I mean, the kids were invited on Nach Baliye (Star plus), Shandaar Ravivar (Colors), participated in DID and doing shows in Zee TV, and of course, TKSS and IBD in Sony. I don't think kids from any other show has enjoyed this level of popularity 😆 Nazar na lage.

Edit- Shagun is also an actress. Already done a show on Sony. And I read on Saksham's bio that he's been on a movie as well 🤪

How's the kid Arshiya (I think that's her name Felix was saying other day kid is well mannered?) Also that Aladin jasmin wala act wali girl is good too imo.

Sir sanchit for top 5 atlst
