Episode 2

Dil Dosti Dance – Episode 3 (13th April 2011)

Written Update :

This episode starts with a bang. Kriya, who has unknowingly occupied Sharon’s seat in the canteen, gets derided by her in front of all others in the canteen. Not one to take insult quietly, Kriya responds in kind, and this encounter marks their first conflict in what seems like a long rivalry to unfold.

As Kriya leaves the canteen, she drops her iPod there by mistake, and proceeds towards the basketball court. But here too, some girls jeer at her for her old-fashioned hairstyle and dressing sense, antagonizing her further. At that point, she realizes her iPod is missing and goes back inside the college to find it. Meanwhile, Sharon has angrily retired to the rehearsal hall, dancing and plotting her revenge against Kriya for the canteen fiasco.

Back in the canteen, we find Rey with his friends as they are questioning him about his conversation with Kriya, which has become the talk of the college and is apparently damaging Rey’s reputation. As, he tries to calm their fears, he notices Kriya’s iPod lying on the canteen floor, and thinking it to be a surprise gift for him from one of his admirers, pockets it. Upon finding that Sharon is fuming because of the morning’s happenings, he decides to make his way to the rehearsal hall, but bumps into Kriya on the way.

The two of the them get into another argument even as the other students including Rey’s friends stand witness. Upon realizing that they are being filmed by their audience, Rey leaves, and Vicky tries to threaten the students into submission.

Kriya continues to be upset about her atrocious first day of college and when she recounts the events to Neha, she is informed by her about how famous and talented Sharon is, especially in dancing. Neha loves Sharon’s dance and further calls Rey and Sharon as the dancing couple of their college even as we see why they are called so.

New Characters Introduced :

Nilesh “Nil” Kotian (portrayed by Macedon D’mello) –

The guy who loves rapping, he is one of Rey’s close friends who likes to tease him with Sharon. Appearing to hold the same prejudices as most Dazzlings, waiting to see more facets of his personality apart from being a jester…

Simmi Malhotra (portrayed by Samentha Fernandes) –

Sharon’s close friend who knows her even better than her own parents. She likes dancing and dressing up. She follows Sharon in all her endeavors, supporting her in all the goods as well as bads. But will she be able to find herself outside Sharon’s shadows? That’s food for thought…

Rinni Shah (portrayed by Priyanka Soni) –

Another one of Sharon’s lackeys, she is a dancer too. Like Simmi, she too is an ardent follower of Sharon. Whether she is really as sweet and innocent as she looks, remains uncertain yet…

Episode Rating :

Plot ****

After introducing a new college environment and plenty of characters in the earlier episodes, this one takes a deeper dive into the regular happenings of the college while simultaneously showing how Kriya is upending the normal status-quo.

Screenplay and Dialogs ***1/2

A marked improvement in most of the dialogs although the screenplay could be better, jumping around too much while leaving conversations incomplete and inconclusive.

Acting ***

The actors still have a long way to go, especially in terms of dialog delivery.

Visuals ***1/2

The Cinematography could be better on the whole, but the use of the mirror in rehearsal hall was done well.

Soundtrack ***1/2

The background tunes and dance mix are all enjoyable.

Choreography ***1/2

Since it is more of a warm-up session than any actual rehearsal, the simple but energetic steps work well, even when done slightly out of sync. The final lift adds some extra oomph, 'raising' the expectations for future dances.

Overall rating –3.5/5

Word/s of the Day :

Dazzling Diva High Class Way – It’s Sharon’s way… or the ‘low’-way 

Dancing Couple – Rey and Sharon when they dance together

Dialog of the Day :

“Iss college ka batwara to Mahabharat ke batware se bhi jyada serious hai” – Kriya realizes how deep the division between Dazzlings and Weaklings runs.

Scene of the Day :

First confrontation between Kriya and Sharon… setting the tone for all their future meets.

Blooper of the Day :

The case of the haunted basketball continues, but this time it has found itself a medium. The basketball has it out for Kriya, following her through the corridor and making sure to stay in her vicinity, even as she remains oblivious to the danger surrounding her. 

Theme of the Day :

Dil / Dosti / Dance – Dosti

Week 1 – Wrapup

Wow, what a nostalgic trip down memory lane! This episode captures the essence of college life, with its rivalries, friendships, and drama. The new characters add complexity and depth to the story, and the Word of the Day perfectly encapsulates Sharon's dazzling style.  The Dialog of the Day and Scene of the Day are unforgettable, highlighting Kriya's growth and the underlying class divide. And the Blooper of the Day adds a touch of lighthearted fun. Overall, a well executed episode that leaves you wanting more! 

Bahut din baad. I enjoyed this. Thank you 😊

Thank you . I'm glad you liked it .

Episode 3

Week 1 – Wrapup

Couple in focus :

Kriyaansh –

3 Episodes, 3 Meets... or maybe we should say 3 times they bumped into each other (quite literally ) and 3 Times Rey was left staring at something of Kriya’s in his hand (mask, iPod… and wait for it… her spit ). Needless to say, they have had a memorable introduction to each other, although the memories seem more favorable to Rey while Kriya has formed a negative outlook towards Rey.

Rey’s friends are not helping matters, antagonizing Kriya further. While Rey is to be blamed for his better-than-thou attitude that ends up triggering Kriya, she is also at fault for being too keen to prove herself right and getting into fights at any and all given chances. Aah well, Kriyaansh’s combative interactions are their USP, so can’t complain too much. 

Characters in focus :

Neha –

It is a wonder why someone as helpful and cheerful as Neha would have been lonely before Kriya came along. Even if she is a Weakling, what was stopping other Weaklings from being her friend? Nevertheless, her instantaneous friendship with Kriya is really sweet and with her being Kriya’s guide to a new world, it puts Kriya in the unusual position of not being the leader for once (unlike how it was with her friends in Dehradun), and the change in demeanor is visible. Looking forward to more of their interactions.

Sharon –

As much as Sharon might be bitchy to others, her attitude takes an immediate turn when with her friends. Her interactions with Simmi and Rinni, especially the quiet admission that her friends know her better than her parents, tell us about the sensitive girl hidden behind the mean façade she puts up. Her character is intriguing – beyond the usual vamps of telly world; and while she may play a negative role at least for the foreseeable future, it makes you want to wait and uncover the various facets of her personality to understand her reasons for being the way she is.

Comic Moment of the Week :

“Haath ka bada alag istamal karte hai yaha par” – the dialog from Kriya brings a laugh unexpectedly, and the way she looks at her hand in child-like wonder is a bonus (E2). 

Emotional Moment of the Week :

Kriya sitting alone in basketball court and lamenting her first day of college where she has been a target of ridicule constantly (E3). 

Romantic Moment of the Week :

Kriya and Rey’s fates are already tied together (E1). 

Oh No Moment of the Week :

Kriya’s mom arriving at the police station even as Kriya was requesting the officer not to call her (E1). 

Oh Yes Moment of the Week :

Kriya’s mom has torn her train tickets… only to gift her plane tickets instead (E1). 

Dance Pose / Step of the Week :

Rey lifting Sharon during their rehearsal. 

Theme of the Week :

“When two stars collide, the whole universe lights up.” – befitting Kriyaansh’s constant collisions. 

Question of the Week :

How many of you thought that the great dancer Gautam Rai Prakash, whom Kriya idolizes, will turn out to be her unknown father?
