What a bokwaas episode. None of the acts were interesting today. Like we were discussing before the whole feel of the show has dropped so bad and become boring that only the contestants doing their solo will make you feel a bit excited. Whoever keeps saying in the show that IBD is about contestants and not choreographers is totally wrong as we can already see the result from the past two weeks.
Starting with Boogie and Saumya. What a powerful song and theme but such a wasted opportunity. Whoever is choreographing them should realize that Saumya is NOT the contestant. Last week's Kumar Sanu performance and this week will almost convince you that Boogie is the choreographer and Saumya is the contestant 🤪 She is shining throughout while Boogie is just Ken! 😆 Same waving steps, same formations, no expressions or body language in Boogie's steps and he tried to enact Lord Shiva today 😭 Saumya as usual absolutely KILLED it but she should slowly learn how to downplay herself to make the contestant shine. I know she is too young to understand this but hope someone tells her this from the choreography team. But uff Saumya was just terrific today. That moment of her using her belly movement as the damru UFFF what a moment! Every week she keeps proving why she was the winner of IBD 2 but when the judges call her as the best dancer of the country right now in front of the contestant, it is worrying.
Lmao like Reborn mentioned, what sort of a narcissistic performance was that by Shubho and Sushmita 🤣Banda literally choreographed the whole act revolving around how great he is as a guru 🤪Sushmita has improved a lot and her popping has become a lot more polished as seen in her solo but off late all their performances look more like mime than dance where they are just standing at one place and performing.
Akshay was fantastic today and I think his performance with Amardeep was okayish and one of the better acts today. Still I felt it was such a low effort choreography because it was just filled with gags and that usual comedy. It still worked because of Akshay and his solo. He was so so gooood but I am so missing Vartika with him. It almost feels like a crime seeing him perform with someone else after giving Makhna-Sun Ri Sakhi one after the other with Vartika. Also shows how powerful Vartika is as a performer because her presence is missed so much on stage when Akshay is performing.
Don't even get me started on Shivanshu's act. No complains from him, he was fab as usual and did what he was told to do so by his choreographer but after seeing the real videos of that girl dancing and making the record and seeing the performance today where they enacted her story as if it's some freedom fighter's story made me so mad 🤪The girl was pretty much dumbfounded seeing Shivanshu do his first chakkar 🤣No wonder they didn't ask her to dance on stage. I mean imagine the makers made Boogie's mom and dad dance but not her who completed the record after apparently dancing Kathak for 5 days 😆 Vivek is a good choreographer no doubt but everything is getting so repetitive right now. I remember Geeta having problem with too many breaks in the rishi-neetu dedication performance but today she had nothing when the whole performance was filled with so many voiceover breaks.
My respect for Anuradha has increased so much today because I finally realized how smart she was in hiding Hansvi's flaws because today her performance with Rutuja was completely flawed. I personally do not enjoy Rutuja's dancing much. I think she is too fast as a classical dancer and her movements aren't clean so too bad for Hansvi she got her as the choreographer. Today Rutuja was completely out of sync, faltering at so many places and trying to catch up, Hansvi's movements weren't clean and sharp at all and their performance hardly had any music. They almost danced 80% on dialogues!
Debparna is a terrific gymnast who should've been brought back by the channel for IGT and not IBD. Kudos to her talent as a gymnast but that's not dance.
No scores this week, no solos this week. NOTHING!
