Hello,
So I just wanted to blab a little about today's episode of DID.
Firstly, it was quite entertaining to watch DID again after awhile and see Terence, Marzi and Mithunda and all on TV...haha they're all hilarious in their own ways. And the quality of this episode was actually really decent. With the humour quotient, the emotional connect, the judging and of course the dancing and choreography. It was a well put together episode. It felt genuine too. I was actually touched by the mothers' personal stories and all too.
I am a little confused about how this show is going to work though. So the skipper/choreographer performs a duet with one of their contestants every week, and then the rest of the contestants just do a trio of their own? Hmm, interesting...I was wondering how this was going to work.
So my favourite performances today were Raghav's duet on "sukoon" and the trio from Jai's team.
I have to say Raghav stands apart for his ability to bring this PURPOSE to his choreography. This was especially evident with his duo choreography. This act COULD have been just another cute type puppet act, but it was so much more. It had so much more depth and meaning to it. And that Raghav style innocence. It was just these subtle aspects/moments in the performance that left me in awe. Especially the way the dance ended...it wasn't just as if we've witnessed a dance performance, but also a story. The actual dancing was really good too, but what makes Raghav's choreography stand apart is that touch of PURPOSE to it...that touch of genius. And it was just wonderful to see Raghav actually dancing once again! I love his dance style, really. So effortless and smooth and genius at the same time. This was the only performance of the show I'd say that was pretty near perfect. And both the performers were in sync. I liked how Raghav used his contestants' strength as an advantage in the performance too.
I liked Jai's duet too. Jai definitely knows his dance styles and is well trained for sure. And Siddesh's duet was also very entertaining. 😆 Siddesh's choreography was bang on to his personality I must say. haha I was a little disappointed with Prince's choreography though. I think for the duet, the choreography was way too challenging for his contestant, and she couldn't match up at all.
I really liked Jai's trio act too. This one girl..I think she was wearing the orange-coloured costume...(I don't know any of the contestants' names at this point so please bear with me), was actually REALLY graceful! I enjoyed watching her dance. She was the best one out of the three for me. And the choreography was just so sweet, for such a lovely song. I loved how Jai choreographed the little beats in between in the song too.
I liked the idea of Raghav's trio too. Different and appropriate for the theme of this show.
Since this is only the first episode, the dancing isn't super crisp and clear I guess. Also I would like to see more of the dancers' personalities through their dancing instead of the choreography taking over. I didn't really feel that strong of a connection to any of the contestants as such. But I guess that will develop later on.
And Terence is way too sweet. lol I wish he would criticize just a tiny bit more. But anyways, still really good to see him back on TV for sure.
All in all, it was an enjoyable episode with refreshing choreography. And oh Vidya was awesome! haha What confidence this woman has! 👏
Oh and my favourite moment of the episode: Raghav's spontaneous dancing on "Ghanchakar Babu". 🤣 What a goof. 😆
