Oh yeah! She looked breathtaking and danced like a pro! I thought of opening a topic on this earlier- but was too lazy to do so- so I just really want to mention that I was very much impressed with the song selection! The song that Ragini danced on is one of my all time favorites! For the uninitiated, it is from the movie Guide, sung by Lataji and picturised on Waheeda Rehman. The full song actually lasts close to 9 minutes. If anyone is interested, heres the youtube link to the full song:

Its a gorgeous song! And I am really glad that Parul got to dance on this number. Not to belittle the songs that are a hit with todays generation but seriously, its very difficult to imagine that a song that is made these days could even come close to a gem like this.
So yeah, great song! And Parul did a splendid job! I don't understand the need of the face-off. To be honest, she was clearly the better dancer and should have won it solely based on this performance. But oh well, we need the drama! LOL.
And oooh, my favorite bits from the song that were used :
piyaa tose nainaa laage re, nainaa laage re
jaane kyaa ho ab aage re
aayee holee aayee, sab rang laayee
bin tere holee bhee naa bhaaye
bhar pichakaaree, sakhiyon ne maaree
bhigee moree saaree, tan badan moraa kaanpe thar thar
dhinak dhin dhin dhinak dhin dhin
raat ko jab chaand chamake, jal uthhe tan meraa
mai kahoo mat kar o chandaa, is galee kaa feraa
aanaa moraa saiyaa jab aaye
chamakanaa us raat ko jab milenge tanaman milenge tanaman
Aaaah, such amazing and meaningful lyrics. They don't make songs like that anymore! And not to forget the music! Burmanji ka jawab nahi!
Anywhoo, so Parul/ Ragini looked like an apsara- loved her red lehnga and the jewellery she wore and she looked oh so innocent dancing and doing all those actions and expressions with her eyes and looking at Ranvir. She had amazing audience connection and was clearly the winner of the day IMO. :)
