Mithun gifts old radio set to Remo
India Blooms News Service
Mumbai, Mar 31 (IBNS) Come 5th April and the much celebrated bollywood choreographer and Master of Zee Tv's Dance India Dance Remo D'souza will turn a year older.
And the crew had all the tricks up their sleeves to drop a bombshell on him!
Firstly, it was Grandmaster Mithun Chakraborty's unusual gift which had him totally awestruck!
Remo unwrapped the package and to his delight found his old radio set which his parents had given him when he was striving hard to become a budding dancer.
His craze for dance was so overpowering that every evening he used to take the radio set to the sea- side and practice dance religiously.
Those were days when there weren't too many opportunities for common people, especially in a small town like Jamnagar.
Very few people know that Remo's original name is ' Ramesh Gopi'. The crew played video tapes of friends, neighbors and family from Jamnagar who spoke highly of Remo and the success that he has achieved in his chosen field.
If one recollects, a few weeks back Remo had choreographed a routine on Saajan depicting how kids often forget their parents once they settle down in big cities. Amidst the glitz and glamour of city life, parents and family often take a back seat and are taken for granted.
Remo had used this platform to apologize to his parents and spread message to all such kids for who parents have become last priority. In the VT, his sister said that he needn't apologize for not having done enough for his family. They are extremely proud of him, his work and the success he has achieved in such a short period.
Caught in an emotional rollercoaster, Mithun da gives Remo another bolt from the blue. He goes backstage and gets his parents on the stage.
A shell shocked Gabbar who is known for his tough exterior breaks down completely and falls on the stage.
Totally overwhelmed he says, "For so many years I have wanted my parents to live with me but never once did they relent. Today DID has made the impossible possible. They were able to convince my parents which even I couldn't do…. saat janmo tak nahin bhoolonga ye manch…ye pal.. thanks DID". He touched his parents' feet and gave a power packed performance which was 'wow' to say the least .
In this Remo special episode, it was Remo's challenge to all the participants.
The contestants had to live up to the styles specified by Remo sir.
Accordingly they did various Hip Hop and Street Dance forms like – B- Boeing + Funk ( Kunwar Amarjeet) , Jabbawockies, (Saajan), Lyrical Hip- Hop (Dharmesh), Popping and Wacking ( Shakti) , Break dance ( Punit) , Crumping (Amrita) and Tutting (Binny).
On the other hand, the latest episode of Zee TV's Dance India Dance features last year's most popular finalists of the show shaking a leg with the top 7 finalists of the ongoing season.
So you have the likes of good ol' "handsome hunk" Salman, Alisha, Mayuresh, Siddhesh, Sunita, Prince & Jay Kumar Nair matching steps with Dharmesh, Shakti, Binny, Punit, Amar, Amrita & Saajan.
If the buzz is anything to go by, the most breathtaking performance is undoubtedly the "Dhakka Laga Bukka" act choreographed by Master Remo wherein last season's winner Salman and Punit defy gravity as they dance totally "ulta" resting their feet on an artificially constructed platform, hanging on to just a bundle of strings.
Geeta Kapoor's comical rendition of 'Lift kara De' features Dharmesh 'Sir' and Siddhesh playing 2 struggling actors who're broke and jobless.
The twosome is said to have drawn a lot of seetis with this paisa vasool act! This year's highest voted female contestant Shakti teams up with last year's Jay Kumar Nair in Terence Lewis's pop jazz interpretation of the classic Kajra Mohobbatwala where the duo pose as beggars who … ahem … well, dance!
On a special request from Grandmaster Mithun Da, the two kings of "locking & popping" – last year's Prince and the current favorite Dharmesh "sir" are said to have put up a jaw-dropping hip hop act for the audience.
