hi guys!
Am very upset with the judges today.
1.) Okay I'm not a very good judge or anything, nor am I trained in dance, but I really liked Sushant's performance 10 times more than Sanjeeda's. Not just bcoz I am his fan, but bcos the idea was nice and well executed. The only good thing about Sanjeeda's performance was her dress... even though I agree she is a very graceful dancer. I really don't know why judges gave her more marks. The studio audience was shouting once more, once more for sushant.
2.) Arshad's comments made most sense today. He was right, the act was more contemporary than Sanjeeda's. Even Shilpa said it. Arshad even said Sushant was perfect. Then why did they give Sanjeeda more marks? The judges contradicted themselves completely today. The good thing which gave me a bit of satisfaction was when Arshad said-while giving marks to Sanjeeda- "I'm being generous today."
3.) The way Vaibhavi did that whole running thing seemed over the top to me. I didn't like it- too dramatic. I and my Mom were like- yeh to overacting lag raha hai. thank god Sushant didn't do it that way.
4.) The judges pointed out Sushant's lack of rehearsals, but not once did they say, its okay we understand that you had typhoid and typhoid patients need rest for atleast a month. I was shocked actually. No one said it in the whole episode that we like your fighting spirit. This guy does not tell about his injuries/difficulties unlike others ("I broke my this, I hurt my that.. etc etc.") maybe cos he does not like to make a sympathy show, so no one gives him any sympathy at all, which is very wrong in my opinion.
5.) The good thing was that Vaibhavi told Sushant its okay if you forgot, it happens sometimes.
The boys disappointed me too. When the judges gave them credit for martial arts- (Abhishek in particular)- not one of them said that Sushant taught us all this. They could have really said this- especially since everyone was pointing out Sushant's mistakes today, and the guy was pretty disappointed. This was the least they could have done.
the episode left me in a bad mood actually.
coming to Sushant however:
1.) Judges challenge It was very nostalgic for me, cos the attack in Mumbai happened when I was there and it happened very close to where I live. The attack took place in places where I go almost everyday- CST station, chaupati, St. George and Cama Hospital. So I really really liked the act very much cos it reminded me of those days when we were in confinement in our hostel cos of the attack and came out only to volunteer at the hospital where the injured and dead (and the terrorists bodies) were brought. The act actually relived the whole thing for me so I absolutely loved it.
Sushant did it very very well. Absolutely loved his expressions. He was looking really smart in those clothes. Energy was wonderful. The pain on his face was so real that I thought he would cry. In fact, even though Mukti is my favourite dancer among girls- while watching sushant's performance, I thought these are the type of expressions Mukti shud have brought out in her performance today- the one in which she loses her husband.
2.) Group performance: His expressions were SO CUTE. All you excellent AVI makers, can you please capture his expressions in that dance??? (I've become quite shameless lately... hehehehe) He did forget a few steps and that was really very unfortunate. But overall excellent performance, movements were very clear (more than any other guys, frankly speaking) and nice sword fighting skills. He looked so hot and attitude wala when he broke that matka... the determined look on his face during the whole martial arts sequence was awesome.
