I've been a little behind in watching the past few episodes and now after finally having caught up😆😆, had a few thoughts on the 2nd Sept epi in particular:


a) Bakhtiyar and Chaitanya's table dance: As everyone knows by now, the dance was practically a step by step recreation of Aamir-Sanjeeda's act from NB3 which by itself is also copied from the show 'So you think you can dance.' However, the fact also remains that the girls have repeated performances from previous shows multiple times as well, so both sides are doing this 'copying' bit equally.😉......Coming back to the act, I really enjoyed the first few minutes with the mirror image, which I don't recall seeing in A-S's dance in NB3 so that was good atleast.

Now basing purely on the performances in that round (keeping the whole issue of a copied performance aside) the boys were no doubt better and deserved to win. Just my opinion😊....I do think though that even if Malaika wasn't the judge on NB3 last season and the boys thought they could get away with it for that reason😆....I do think she instantly recognized it like she'd seen it before....she was overly careful with her comments as well....maybe for that reason😕

b) Ashita vs. Vikas-Jazz: Ashita was good, but agreeing with Malaika for a bit here....very repetitive steps which I felt I had seen from her many times before....and also that she doesn't really 'finish' her moves as was pointed out....now I don't really know any technicalities of what Jazz is supposed to be and all....but I frankly didn't see too much of it in her performance😕....seemed more filmy than jazz to me.

Vikas impressed me a lot....unexpectedly😆😆....In the past, during the Khallas round with Mouni, he definitely deserved to be khallased despite his brave attempt at Kathak....however this is one time I felt injustice was done with him. Again, I don't know the technicalities but I think he was very good with what he portrayed...and it truly seemed much more like jazz than Ashita's performance did.....I have NO idea what the hell Malaika meant by saying she found it funny?!😕😕....I would love to be enlightened...where exactly was the funny bit?😕.....I thought it was an excellently conceptualized and well performed act👏.....Vikas deserved to win this one....Both the judges are so confused sometimes😕


c) Manish's item girl in heels act: Hands down the most hilarious thing I've seen on this show🤣.....a very close second to Amit-Vikas's I love you performance...I have never laughed as hard as when Amit picked Vikas in his arms and then later fell off the stage🤣🤣🤣

But coming back to Manish....my GOD!! First, he deserves a round of applause👏 for just being able to CARRY off those deadly heels yaar!! I could never do that!😆😆😆....and uske baad kya patakha moves!!😲😆😆.....My favorite bit was when he was parodying Mouni's item act and did the same moves that she did when she went up to the boys table.....hilarious stuff!🤣🤣🤣


All in all, this has to be the most unique and innovative dance show I've seen on Indian T.V. in quite a while...so kudos to them for that👏👏👏.....I don't think any of the other shows out there can boast of the kind of variety and excellent dancing that there is on this show....it's a very rare combination of variety and great dancing exploring such varied forms of dance....I'm enjoying every bit of it....May the best men/women win!😉😆


Now, whoever's managed to read that...kudos to you as well!😆😆.....That turned out to be longer than I'd expected😆....ok, bhashan over....good night!

Lolz... I read every word. And kudos to you for writing it. Manish and his 'heel' act impressed me much too... I just wished they had a pole for him to dance on. 😊

hey Anu I agree with you...but in bits! 😆 I agree that regardless of being a "copied" dance the performers are different and the situation is different...that should be looked at not at the steps...I think the way the steps are performed are different because each dancer brings a DIFFERENT element to their performance...this is something I've been saying....and I'm really fed up of these "oh no they copied!"statements/posts/topics! 😕
Next I think Vikas was good, but Ashita was better....yes Vikas' concept was good, but I could understand where Malaika found it "funny"...I think what she meant by the word was not laughing kind of funny, but an amusing kind of funny...if that makes any sense! haha
anyway the rolling around bit that Vikas was doing didn't fit and was not jazz and also the running up the stairs and spreading of arms and legs just to exaggerate...that's not jazz...he actually didn't have any jazz in his performance except for the pole bit...and his rolling around bit multiple times was the funny bit...it didnt make sense nor did it fit with the song, concept, or dance. It looked more like what Chaitu did for his contempary...I think once again Vikas deserved to go to the bench even though Ashita's performance wasn't brilliant, but it was better compared to Vikas.
Next Manish was the highlight of the show!

ROFL! A pole??!🤣.....God, bet he would've rocked that too🤣.....Was he not so subtly trying to send a message to the guys that if he had been performing the item number in place of Amey, he would've beat Mouni?😛😆😆

You found that funny?😆😆....I thought it went well with the song....gave it a surreal feel😊..it didnt make sense nor did it fit with the song, concept, or dance Hmm, isn't Jazz a form of contemporary western dance as well?....In Ashita's case, she looked like she was doing more bollywood than jazz to me...I really didn't find anything jazzlike in her performance😆😆. It looked more like what Chaitu did for his contempary...I think once again Vikas deserved to go to the bench even though Ashita's performance wasn't brilliant, but it was better compared to Vikas.Let's agree to disagree....as usual😉😆
Next Manish was the highlight of the show!Yep, that he was😆

I completely agree with whatever u have written! Firstly, the guys' performance..like u said even the girls' have copied sum performances.. so who cares even if they copied.. I felt Bakhtiyaar and Chaitanya did a great job on that performance.. Copied or not.. Guys deserved to win and they did! 👏
As for the Khallas round, I agree with u that Ashita's performance looked more like Bollywood than Jazz! I found Vikas performance much much better than Ashita..and yes what exactly was funny in the performance? Malaika please highlight! Frankly, I feel that judges have been biased towards girls in the Khallas round.. and that is why Ashita won!
And oh yeah, Manish's performance was suuperb! 👏 😆 He was soo comfortable in those heels and omg all those moves were so entertaining. An applause for the girls for coming up with such a wonderful punishment! 👏
I hope I didnt bore u all with my post! 😆

@Nimrah: Glad you saw the point about Ashita's jazz dance yaar! I thought I was the only one who thought that way😆😆
And totally agree...the judges are usually biased in favor of the girls in the challenge rounds...some of their judgements don't make sense😕😕
The punishment that the girls came up with really was hilarious....the best punishment yet😆....but I would love to see the tables turned for a change and a girl on the bench instead of the guys....kaafi time se bechaare boys hi bench pe jaa rahein hain😆....then they'll get a chance to think up a punishment as ell hopefully😆😆

Anu..🤗 LOVED the post..Thank you for coming up with it..Agree to every word..Not surprised, eh?😊

IMO, the 'copying' issue must be kept aside since girls' choreographers have been guilty of the same in the past too and got away with that..So, why should boys face all wrath? And having forgotten that, its only fair that the guys won..Chaitanya and Bakhtyar did a fantabulous job and deserved to win, no two ways about it..


I too preferred Vikas's performance to Ashita's..Yes, we all know that Ashita is a very good dancer but this performance of hers didn't entertain much and all I could see was Ashita repeat certain movements while I found Vikas's performace really entertaining..And like you, I didn't find anything funny in Vikas's act..Infact, I find the fact funny that Malaika called it funny ! 😛 I too don't know the technicalities of jazz but think Vikas's presentation was better over all and Ashita should've occupied the bench instead of Vikas..

I totally agree, judges have been partial towards girls in many khallas rounds..I felt they made Vikas sit on the bench this time to make up for the mistake they did in the form of the Vikas-Mouni tie, when Vikas had deserved to occupy the bench..But maybe its just me..
Btw, Malaika didn't judge NB 3..She was only there for the first two seasons..
Manish's item act in heels was quite an item and 🤣 worthy..He carried Karishma's heels really well..
Now that you have reminded me of that hilarious instant during Vikas-Amit's performance..hahahhahahahah..That was something..
Nice post, pal!!

Sarahhhhhh🤗🤗 Great to see you here, yaar!! Us few supporters of the boys need to speak up sometimes, nahin?😉😆😆
And noooot surprised at the similarities in thought process as usual...LOL😉😆😆
Yeah, Malaika's comment about it being 'funny' just incited a huh??😕😕 from me too....I was like, what the heck is she talking about??? But you're right....the judges may have benched Vikas to make up for the last time he didn't get benched. I sooooooooo badly want to see a girl getting khallased now!! Enough of the guys being benched for god's sake!😆😆 Mouni should take some rest and send someone else who can get khallased😆😆
Arey yaar, I do know that Malaika didn't judge last NB3...that's what I was saying na...maybe that's why the choreographers put up the table act! Cuz the judges were different! Even then, I felt as if Malaika recognized the act when she saw it....maybe she caught it on TV?😕😕
Vikas-Amit's performance was the bomb!🤣🤣🤣 I haven't laughed that hard in quite a while!🤣🤣
btw, Amit is quite the ustaad of chemistry, haan?? Equally good chemistry with girls and guys🤣🤣....kya expressions de raha tha Vikas ko🤣
