Why they want to show..? ur views

The one act i didn't like was the shiv parvati act by varun and piyali. It just did not click with me. Maybe varun wasn't that good as shiv or maybe it was the costume. Would it hurt to wear a skin colored tight under the tiger skinned skirt?

There are so many things in mythology, why do they always harp on the same ol same ol stuff? i like remo. he always brings something new in mythology

They are changing the image of God. From classical Gods to hiphop and disco Gods.I thnik Bhappi Lehri ji will be happy at the trend.

and one thing i dont understand in which classical dance they wont wear a pallu on dress? me being a classing dancer i have never seen in real dancers not using a pallu in dress set. i dont understand y in Tv and in bigscreen they use as much as smaller dress even in classical form. is this a dance show or a body show. in western dance form its understandable but i dont understand y in classical dance form also they use such type of dress.

Last time kruti had used nice dress during her classical performance. even vrushali when it was competition between her and kruti.

Dress of urvashi who did a role of mohini was not looking respectful for me. as its character of god. yes it is mann Mohini but she is mann mohini through her dance and face.

as per me if they are doing a god or godess act they should keep it respectful and should not be insulting.

In fact, as I said, this was the only act where the beauty of such a relationship was full explored. Terence wasn't simply narrating the story here...as was the case with every other act of this episode. He provided his OWN insight. There were beautiful moments and touches throughout the performance which is what made it come to life for me. And in NO WAY did he make a mockery of Shri Krishna. In fact, he actually got the representation and the character of Shri Krishna down exactly. Much better than Geeta's representation of Shri Krishna.

THIS is how we've always seen Krishna in Hindu mythology isn't it? He has this sense of humour, a calm way of approaching things...since he is a God...he knows everything. He knew all along what Sudama was going through. He doesn't differentiate between the rich and the poor...for him everyone is equal. Hence, even though he is this king/God...he doesn't hesitate for a second to eat Sudama's treats that he brings for Krishna. That gesture or insight by Terence showed right there what a beautiful relationship these two shared. It showed the beauty of Lord Krishna...it didn't mock this God in any way!! And those friendly moments between Krishna and Sudama showed how Krishna was so humble. He considered himself as Sudama's equal as well. He never behaved in a superior way. That showed the equality in their friendship. I loved that end bit where Sudama finally realizes that there's more to Krishna than he's known as he sees his God representation. That end moment is so beautiful because it showed how Lord Krishna can appear in any form...human or otherwise and he's so close to us that He can solve our problems...he's always there despite being this unattainable and mystical God.

How did you see any mockery in such a beautiful representation of Lord Krishna?? I fail to see your point. :S Isn't Hindu mythology all about that DEPTH? Those emotions and morals portrayed by those mythological stories? This act was the only one in this episode that had this kind of depth. And isn't God itself all about things like love, peace, friendship, hope...etc.? That's the basic faith with which we pray isn't it? That beauty and essence of God...that friendship, love was shown SO beautifully in this act. Just because Krishna isn't portrayed in a traditional style doesn't mean it's automatically a mockery. Why can't Hindu Gods perform a hip-hop dance? Why can't choreographers have that kind of creative liberty and an OPEN mind to show such insights?

Now take the other acts in this episode...for example Remo's Jatayu-Raavana act, which was supposedly the best performance of this episode. And I highly disagree with that. Sure, I appreciate Remo's creativity with the thought of showing this aspect of mythology which isn't really explored much. The idea itself is very creative, agreed. But did this performance really have much depth to it? When you watch/read about this scene of Ramayana..you feel so much. I hardly felt anything watching this performance! Sure, action wise...the choreography of the action sequence was good and fine. But that is only superficial. The deeper aspects weren't explored at all!!! We all KNOW that Raavan and Jatayu battled in this way...WHAT is so new and creative about that??? What should've been shown through this act was Raavan's ego and greed. In this part of Ramayana, we really get to see how Raavan was SO blinded by his greed and ego...that it caused him to become SO inhumane to the extent of killing an innocent animal. We should've seen that DEEP loyalty and heroism of Jatayu which didn't come across in this act. I always have tears in my eyes watching this scene of Ramayana because we see such DEEP loyalty of Jatayu's. Mohena didn't even get the essence of this character! I wanted to be CONVINCED of these emotions associated with the tale of Ravana and Jaatayu...this depth should've been SHOWN convincingly through dance. That didn't happen for me.

What I was looking for in this mythological episode...was some insight. Bringing these characters to life...which only happened in the Sudama-Krishna act. Otherwise, all the other acts were simply TELLING the tale...not really exploring beyond that. I wanted to see moments of genius...which only Terence was able to portray through that hip hop act. Which incidentally, was the only one you had a problem with.

Dance wise, I thought Varun and Piyali were the only ones actually who did full justice. They were neat, clear, graceful and they did justice to their classical style. Unlike say Urvashi and Paul...who also got a similar style but completely failed. But again, Varun and Piyali's act also didn't really have any moments of GENIUS. It was simply narrating the tale, again.

Really, I can't understand your small minded thinking when it comes to mythological representations. You completely failed to see the GENIUS Terence portrayed with this act...the only thing you saw was God's doing hip-hop?? Seriously? Terence brought these characters to LIFE...which is a way of paying respect. It's NOT a mockery by any means!! Showing Hindu God's doing hip-hop, I agree, COULD have gone wrong. Like Remo's choreography with Prince and Radhika in season 1 which was totally superficial. But the point here, is that this act WASN'T superficial! Just because Gods aren't portrayed in a traditional classical dance doesn't mean it's a mockery.

I didn't think any of the three masters made a mockery in any sense. Only the depth was lacking, yes.
