Perf. Analysis - Mar. 5

Hard Kaur: A good piece, full of energy, with a sensible concept to support that kind of a song. Really liked the lift-and-bhangra step, plus those during the chorus. Good co-ordination between her and Savio. 8.5/10

Monica Bedi: When seen in video's or just standing there, Monica seems stiff, and almost lifeless. But as soon as she starts dancing? She comes alive. Loose dancer, who flows from step to step. 8.5/10

Shilpa Shukla: Loved the spin on the concept. Absolutely brilliant, not to mention original, along with the remixed version of the song. The cherography wasn't off-the-hook, but I think more than anything for me, it was overshadowed by the concept. Saroj in particular, seemed averse to the idea of changing a song chereographed in western-style to another, but I thought it was a great stab at taking a risk, and my to the choreographer for it. They keep on beating for 'orginality' and 'not lifting steps' but apparently when someone tries to do something different, it doesn't sit down well with them, and they try their best to discourage that person. Contrary to the judges comments, I thought it was a good performance. 7.5/10

Parul: She's a really good dancer, and I loved the on-the-knees-moving step (bhoomi-chakkar, Vaibahi called it) they were doing in practice. It was unfortunate that she collapsed, but what do we stumble upon once again? Saroj acting the ass-hat. Rather than being worried that someone just fainted on-stage, she was worried about "Main marks kaise de sakti hoon." Can you get some perspective, woman? Good grief. And if I'm not wrong, didn't they already finish their performance? Deepak was clearly holding the last step, as Parul fell down? 8/10.

Gauhar: I think it's settled that she is a great dancer, and can execute well. However, I wish she'd chosen a different song (or rather were given), because every single step they did, we've all seen before. This song really leaves no scoop for creativity, which kind of handicapped this performance for me. Still, it had a high level of energy, and both her and Hanif danced well. 8/10

Bhagayshree: Someone pinch me. That split she did? Fantastic. The lifts were nice, albeit a little too many. Toby dances with a passion I love 8/10

Random:

-Ram lifting Parul and taking her backstage --- Sweet.
-Gauhar saying "Hindustan ke jawan ladko, jaag jao!"
-What does it matter who choreographs (re: Gauhar/Hanif, to be specific) when they are a team, and are supposed to work together to put up an act? Hanif, will you please speak up, and say something rather than just standing there like a wax statue?
-Toby/Bhagayshree/Husband having a work-out-family-get-together
-Ram's "sexy" look with the hoola-hoop on Maiyan Maiyan

Awesome analysis, Veeruji!

I agree word for word about Hard Kaur, Shilpa, Parul and Gauhar especially! You spoke my thoughts out!

I personally really liked Shilpa's performance....theirs was the most unique attempt of the evening and I personally thought they did a pretty good job of it.....kudos to the choreographer! I was surprised that none of the judges liked it at all :S.....I'd expected SK to trash it but had hopes the others might like it.

As for Gauhar, I wasn't that wowed despite her being a good dancer, cuz I found the choreography to be very stale and repetitive....like I've seen it a million times before.

I also liked how Ram carried Parul off the stage....it was indeed very sweet of him! Plus is it my imagination or he's already lost some weight! :P hahaha....he was looking good in that suit today.

I'm really tired of the Gauhar-Hanif drama, so either they should get rid of Hanif and bring in a new choreo or spare us this silly 'my choreo is useless' drama that happens b/w them every epi.

very nice analysis

i thought Shilpa's perf was underrated. just an 18?
the concept was original (who thought u can do lavani steps on crazy kiya re?) and both danced well too. shilpa's expressions were apt. yes, maybe energy could have been more.
i don't understand why the judges were so hard on her choreographer.

Very Nice Analysis👏..You have said everything which I wanted to share...

I like Hard kaur and BHagiya shree dances.......👍🏼

Shilpa.kudos to them they tried different thing,I think there concept was good...

Agree with @nureat................Gauher is so Rude why she always insults Hanif ,And Hanif should have said something instead of standing there..

Karan and Ram Making the show more entertaining...
I just love shewta sawying with Karan...That was too cute..👍🏼
