Yeah well I guess you're right. But we can't forget that Mukti does not choose her choreography for the dances, she has to do what she's given, whereas DID is real dance competition, so you're always pushing the limits for the contestants, each time a step ahead. Initially I would have perhaps agreed with you, but since I saw her do that dance yesterday, I think she's as good as Shakti is, a little more unsure about her steps perhaps, but that's understandable. I also find her emoting better than Shakti does, in most of the dances, her expressions have been mind blowing! Or maybe it's all just the lack of watching Shakti since a long time now... They're at par really for me, both good in their own way! ;)
I actually disagree with the expressions. Shakti's expressions in contemporary routines (only) are perfect, as in just enough. Mukti's expressions are a little too loud sometimes. It's usually a lot louder than softer, which means she hasn't figured out her emoting balance yet. Just my thought =) Either way, both are very very good and you can tell they are highly trained by the way they dance. My favorite on the show is Siddesh though. A true hard worker on his own!! 👏
