Were all the gimmicks necessary by wildcards?

I don't understand why there have to be these gimmicks, like fire, or lifting up in the air, or bikes...and not DANCE.

I personally wanted to see pure dance. I think these extra things in order to try and make the performances look "cool" are a waste of time and don't do the contestants any favour.

Like today Sana and Mukti's dances were purely dance and were a joy to watch. Karan's performance also had a lot of dance.

Then Vatsal's performance had a lot of gimmicks, the bike, going up on the pole. Same with Rochelle as I didn't see the point of hanging up on that wheel. I actually thought Rochelle was an all right dancer and could have been selected if her choreographer showed her dance more.

Please tell me it's not just me who gets annoyed by these things. I feel like I'm watching a circus when such things happen rather than a DANCE show/competition.

Agree the show should be more about "dancing" and less about comedy, gimmicks, show or movie promotion.😃

Lol. I also could not understand what was the concept of vatsal and Rohit's performances. They were quite useless which resulted in not-selection of them, though i loved rochel's performance and found her quite gorgeous. I wish she would replace Drashti.

I too felt her too be a more graceful and flexible dancer than Drashti...😃

Guyss...come on. I didn't say anything about Drashti in this topic. I'm not saying you shouldn't express your opinion but still...let's focus on the topic. I'm neither saying this as Drashti fan or hater. Just asking nicely 😊

Yeah I also didn't get the concept of Rohit's performance. I'm not sure what the "theme" was...but like those fire thingys they waved at the beginning of their performance, I didn't see the point or purpose or meaning of it.

Thank u for making it clear what ur topic is actually asking for...atleast some are sane enough to understand not to drag DD's name in every post, where there is no mention of her...

Coming back to ur topic, I used to be like u when I used to watch DID and Nach Baliye earlier seasons...But, even DID lately especially after the seasons after Dharmesh and Shakti didn't have a lot of dancing! It was all about going up in the air, robotics and just gimmicks...DID has disappointed me in the later seasons, but I don't think that the contestants should be blamed for that..I feel the fault lies in the choreographers and the judges themselves..Even DID means Dance Indian Dance but I see less of dance than before, so I don't blame all these contestants who do ariel acts, ring acts..

This is my first season of JDJ I am watching, and yes I feel that the choreographers should focus just on pure dance, and the judges should fairly judge on that...When I see the dance shows here in the U.S., our dance reality shows feels really like crap to me..sorry to say that...but what our dance reality shows are, they don't even come 1% close to the American dance shows...I just wish all these film promotions on every reality show should stop!! And, judges sitting there who are getting huge amount of money should do their work sincerely otherwise Indians should stop making these kind of shows..
