Dance Critique Thread Note : 60 - Page 57

BINGO...Love the act

Lauren Punit was ammmazzzing. I hate love stories, one of my favorite songs, with Bharatnatyam. I am a trained Bharatnatyamian😛 so it was a big treat to watch LAUREN on that song doing bharatnatyam. It was like eating Hakka Chinese(my favorite, haha bad joke?)

Shaan's act clearly showed that marischa style of choreography. Marischa should do something different now. Nice tapori Shaan.

Sonali Sumanth-Jasmine and Aladin how cute. But again, honestly I have to say sick of their lifts.🥱

Drashti was sexy. Salman where was he?😕

Mukti Shashank were good. 😊

Shaan - Waltz

Sneha's leap of faith was amazing 👏! My favorite part of the act was when Shaan slid across the stage during "jawab doo" - very genuine 👍🏼 and Shaan actually looked like he was enjoying himself, which was lacking throughout the act. The last position was beautiful on Sneha's part and hesitant on Shaan's part 🤔.

Drashti - Rumba

Lovely ambiance! I honestly felt like this was a continuation of the story-telling act. The rumba movement was beautiful in the beginning 😊 . "Ye dil" was hesitant on Drashti's part 😔. The split was really well done 👍🏼. Drashti standing in one spot and being moved around was nice but hanging from Salman's neck was a step I had appreciated in an earlier act. When Drashti was holding her leg up and was being spun around, it looked really beautiful however, another stationary spin was not needed - I preferred the 2nd stationary spin over the first 👍🏼

In "meri sada me", there was clear hesitation in Drashti's part but when she was hanging on Salman, she kept the position held well. "Ye Zameen" was similar to a dip that was done earlier in the act. The "asmaan" part in which she moved her body, was my favorite part as it was really clean and pleasing to the eye. The lift of "ab hame jaana kaha" looked really unclean 🤔. The last "me waha tu jaha" with the end looked good 👍🏼

Sonali/Sumant - Salsa

Wow!! Sonali killed it and she was definitely the hero of the act for me!! 🥳 No one does lifts better than these two and real magic is when they are doing lifts . However, their floor dancing, unfortunately, is pretty elementary. Looking at the act in a competitive state, the beginning lifts were crazy but the lifts after that have been repeated in IDS - copied exactly from their acts 🤔. Sonali's leg moving about on Sumant's head, Sonali rolling while Somant holds her hand, Sonali sliding about around Sumant - we have seen all of them...The "baila baila" steps in the end were the same as what they have done earlier in IGT 👎🏼

Also, the judges had told the choreos of the kids over and over that stop with the lifts but in this act - all we saw were lifts.. 🤔 That being said, Sonali literally danced her hair piece off!! 👏The end was awesome and these two are amazing!!!!! God bless them!

Lauren - Street Jazz

MJ act!! loved the mix of songs and the look they both had 👍🏼Lauren's (sorry - I tried to look at both of them but I kept on looking at Lauren) body language and facial expressions were just perfect in this act 👏 ! And I thought it was interesting that she was trying to lip sync "love me love me", even the guy's part 😆

The moonwalk was perfect, the Billie Jean steps were ridiculous and the tilt was so clean 👍🏼!! I tried and tried but I couldn't find anything wrong with the act 🤔. I am so glad they did this act as it was a perfect tribute to MJ and another feather in their cap🥳

Mukti - Broadway Jazz

Another song I used to love 👍🏼! Mukti's expressions are always bang on 👏. The "tu jo acha samjhe" lift was done by them before 👎🏼. I really liked the Chandni part 😊 and I liked the part where Mukti was holding up her hands and Sushant was acting like a certain character 👍🏼. But, each and every one of their lifts had been done before by them (as far as I can tell) - this I only noted as it was pointed out by the judges...

After watching the acts and doing my reviews, I noted that the judges were actually correct in saying that Mukti/Sushant repeated her lifts and the act was underwhelming. However, I also thought the judges not following their own advice by saying to Sonali and Sumant that "no more lifts" and then allowing an all-out Salsa with almost only lifts and not pointing out the flaws in Shaan's Waltz was disrespectful to Mukti.

Shan - OK ..but nothing much ..And yes smoke is a good trick to cover up the leg movements 😆😆😆 But Shan was doing much better in the first few weeks but nowadays he is very average...

Drashti Salman - Nice act ..and there were wow moments and some shaky moments .. so act was not flawless ..But its bit difficult to dance for slower number ..and as Muktis lifts were repeated salman and drashti also repeated some lifts ..and I seriously dont like their costume ..main reason they have worn similar costumes and similar colours many time ..Overall good performance ...and drashti has improved ...

Kids - after a long time I enjoyed their act though they have used the same lifts .. But I am really mad after remos comment to Mukti .. Because Kids lifts are way too repetitive ..But i f i forget about their previous acts ..I enjoyed their performance ..they are truly gifted .. and possible winners of JDJ 😉

Lauren

From the begining to the end ..it was full of dancing .. and I couldnt even took my eyes away from lauren .. She is just mind blowing ..This act was one of the best acts of this seasons interms of dancing ..yes i am a MJ lover .. Its a treat to watch MJ tribute .. And lauren and punit just nailed it .. Good choreography as well .. They are back ..

Mukti _

Not a bad act ..But didnt like that act ..and I think Karan said the reason .man My respect for that man is increasing day by day ..{ I think better to have ppl who doenst know much about dancing as they make sense .. }

Yes and that floor spin and so many lifts were repititve ..But is a common thing in todays episode,, .. And She could have nailed it if she has tried something different ..as this is her last week ( )

I am totally in drroling mood after seeing my handsome hunk ..So couldnt see anyother preperly when salman in the stage .. What a personality .. Loved his T shirt,His comments ..his moves ..to everything ... LOVE AND RESPECT THE SALMAN KHAN ..
