This episode was based on Indian mythology, there was heavy duty mix of Indian classical in most of the dances and i liked it a lot for that. Another reason would be that all the performers performed really well. This epi reminded me of the epi where all three masters got performance of the week.
Piyali and varun: i was more impressed by varun, he did his shivji act quite nicely. Piyali is a trained classical dancer and she could have done better. The story was nicely set.
aveek and rajasmita: aveek was looking so cute, i hardly concentrated on his dance. he can easily play kanha's role in some soap or movies. rajasmita was really wonderful, with all the costume changes, different women , with their different aspects, she was really good.
Mohena and vaivab: They were truly the best. I like how remo always brings some out of the box concept even within the scope, who would have thought the story of jatayu bring brought out. Both of them were equally good, but yes the way mohina handled the harness and the wings were commendable.
urvashi and paul: the best performance of urvashi so far. is she a classical dancer? the mudras and postures were quite good for urvashi. And paul was such a surprise. I never thought a hip hop dancer can do such a justice to classical, they never did previously in DID. all the contemporary and hip hop dancers couldn't do the postures or the mudras. paul it seemed was dancing like a trained classical dancer. and even urvashi was tons better today. she should attempt semi classical type dancing if she wants to stay on instead of those horrible contemporaries she does.
neerav, raghav and sneha: neerav was really looking the peaceful and composed ramji, his dancing was good too. He should work on classical a little more but overall was good. Raghav was average and as remo pointed out, I too felt, he was doing his slo mo in indian, looked a little weird.
sanam and mohena: it was very beautiful visually. The story was beautifully told, but the dancing wasn't there that much. Still the theme and its potrayal was beautiful.
Shena G and pradip: Who knew thewhole krishan sudama story can be told in such a way, it think it fitted the concept really well. I think it was better that the dance form was hip hop than some classical or semi classical formed.
Overall this episode was really enjoyable after a long long time on DID.
wish they domore Indian and mythological special epis.
