I was just wondering if everyone thinks that Bakhtiyar is the best dancer among boys as the judges and even the boys team themselves seem to think.
In my opinion, Chaitanya is far better dancer overall than Bakhtiyar, and this has nothing to do with Bakhtiyar's "ego problems", his (at times) rudeness and his unwanted opinions. We're just talking dance here.
(Btw, this post is not to hurt any Bakhtiyar fans, its just my opinion, feel free to crucify my Chaitanya, but with solid evidence! 😊)
Bakhtiyar's strong point is that he has super high energy and is fast with movements, but there his strength ends. He lacks on facial expressions and fails to bring out a personality while dancing, which is why all his western dance (and sometimes even folk) performances look about the same, barring the first half of the popping and locking. For example if you compare him with Gaurav and Chaitanya on the "dressed as beach drag queen act" by the guys, his movements did not look like a girl's, he danced firecly without any softness to the movements. Also he is quite heavy on his feet.
Compared to that, Chaitanya has good energy level, probably not borderlining to too much high as Bakhtiyar, but more than enough to keep the dance alive. He has great facial expressions, and he seems to carry out his movements so easily and flawlessly (if you watch his "Yoon Shabnami" you will know what I am talking about, the whole dance just flowed by). He seems so easy on his feet so its easy on your eyes. When he does different dances it looks different, for example his Krazy 4 had a different feel because of his attitude compared to the mirror image dancing. Adding on, his humtum round with Karishma showed quite a range of his expressions, from "naughty nok-jhok" to the "totally in love" moments. All in all, I feel that Chaitanya is a complete package with a nice blend of great expressions, smooth steps and great energy level.
What's your take?

I am with you 500 %.

Energy is not eveything .. it is important to put the right amount of energy.

He was given a comment in Nach Baliye.. that he dances as if he is fighting by Saroj Khan.

I am taking liberty to go out of track by mentioning Amit Tandon here.
I have been watching him since Indian Idol 1
1. How did he get into top 10?
When the 10th finalist dropped by her own choice whom he had lifted during the song and girl was a superb singer and from an orthodox tamil family.
2. How did he fair in India idol? We all know that ..
3. He tried acting then.. he was just ok in KSBKBT but then he became an expressionless face
4. Then came Jo jeeta wahe superstar .. could he stanf there with thos really GOOD singers? We know that
5. Now dancing ...
The problem is he tries eveything and he wants to be told that he is the best .. he just can't take ANY criticism.
I feel Vikas and chaianya are just great to accept criticism

😊 Its nice to see that at least someone thinks so. I remember Saroj Khan's comments that Bakhtiyar looks like he's "jumping around" more than dancing. The woman is always right on with her critiques!
And I agree about Amit, he just can't take criticism and thinks that he's the best in everything, but he's a typical case of "Jack of all, Master of none!" ... somebody give him a reality check, please! šŸ˜†

yeh agree! Chait is better, and also coz hes hotter! Heheh! But his yoon shabnami dance was phenomenal, i lvoed it and the mehndi laga ke rakhna (hum tum round!) he is just too perfect, and by far thee best dancer!! He does try to meet Bhakthyar's energy level and has proved to outdone him in some performances!!

i was thinking the same.chaitanya is far better than bhakthiyar (no offence to his fans).No doubt bhakthiyar is a good dancer but his dance seems repetitive.he does diferent dances but they all look the same and when chaitanya does it he really shows the difference.

i feel chaitanya is btr
bhaktiyar is rly good..no doubts on tht..but i dun think he can be as good in all the dance styles...but chaitu can probably pull any style to an extent..he has a lot more expressions..but bhaktiyar is prolli a superior dance when it comes to technical dancing..i fell chaitanya is a btr package tho..chaitu is just toooooooo gooood :D
but to end it...both bhaktiyar and chaitanya r the top 2 dancers in the showšŸ‘šŸ‘

I think chaitanya is far better in expressions but Bakhtiyar is clearly tops in the technical aspect..well chaitanya has his limitations too...he was by far the most uncomfortable as a girl...which he admitted himself..also in the western classical fusion on dhoom2 bakhtiyar looked more authentic in the indian steps..and the ease with which bakhtiyar copied madhuri in choli ke peeche was amazing...I think he has superb dancing skills and a fair bit of versatility but definitely needs to work more on the expression...
