Being the "desi" that i am @ heart , i love to watch all the India telivision programmes on the net ... what else can a poor stay @ home mom do !!!! Not true really ... i love dance & music & watching all those programmes gives me a lot to discuss with my family back home .. yeh the girls stuff .. i mean debating "who did better " & "who is my favourite " etc .... for some weard reason my sister & I always cheer with dedication totally different people , be it in sports ( Monica Seles & Steffi Graf , movies ( Akshay Kumar & Shahruk Khan ) ( Sridevi & Madhuri Dikshit ) ....& anything & everything ... So what i was saying is for what ever reason , i watch some India programes ...& get excited when my favourite is scoring well ...
The latest that caught my time & excitement was Dance India Dance , its an India version of the american dance show " so u thin u can dance " .... yewh ofcourse with some modification o suit the India audience ... the drama , the crying & prompting to choose the right winner .... Having watched a few seasons of "so u think u can dance " i was not very sure what to expect from Danice India Dance ... i always though Indians dont care much for dance & music ... as a full time career ... its always thought of as stuff for the not so academically inclined & back benchers( sorry thats what i was taught to beleive in my growing up years )
Well i must say i was glad i chose to watch it ... i realized that thereare lots of boys & girls out there who are serious about dance . I would'nt comment on the judgement of the judes or the Mahaguru ... I strongly beleive a mentor & Judge cannot be the same person .. its just puts them in the wrong spot .... but yes i liked the programme minus the drama ... there was a lot of good dancing . As long as u dont get involved with the drama& watch the dance its a gr8 programme .
Well after saying all this i must say i got a little involved with this programme & have a favourite too Jai Kumar Nair... may be because i'v been a shahruk khan fan in my school days & Jai is too or may be because his roots are from Kerala tooo .. well i think not .. he really seems to dance well & soo light on his feet .... but all said & done , i'm not sure who's gonna win... anyways Good luck to him ...
He's not the only talented guy out there for sure ...a few of my favourites are here ....
Mayuresh's acrobatic act .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rojD2iIZpR8thast the 1st time i watched it on Indian telivision
Alisha's locking & poppinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNIH9UJowPE i love this girls attitude on the dance floor , Salman's & Alisha's Cuban salsa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr1uSDNbr7I, Salman & Kushboo'shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg9Iq9hthsU , salman lloks best with a partner ,Vrushali's expressions, Siddesh's bollywood acts especially the kuch khaas hai with sunita http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taRrK77Nq9E... well each of them had something that set them apart ....
The mentors are good too Geeta gives the ample amount of bollywood drama & dance . Terrence with his search for perfomance & focus on dance & Remo with his dedication to stand by his contestants in every act .... I would love to watch a 2nd season of this show . The only change i would like is a little less of politics if any ... i know its unavoidable espicially if the mentors of one group have to judge the others aswell .... I guess so far Terrence is the only one who has been able to do that well ... but may be that's a drawback aswell , cause he never dose a coverup for his team & they unfortunately land in trouble ( the reality telivision angle always goes by what is being portrayed & not what it actully is !!!! )
Anyways all in all a good show ..... & it sure is one of the best dance shows , other than boogie woogie ...
