If the buzz is anything to go by, the most breathtaking performance is undoubtedly the “Dhakka Laga Bukka” act choreographed by Master Remo wherein last season’s winner Salman and Punit defy gravity as they dance totally “ulta” resting their feet on an artificially constructed platform, hanging on to just a bundle of strings.
Geeta Kapoor’s comical rendition of ‘Lift kara De’ features Dharmesh ‘Sir’ and Siddhesh playing 2 struggling actors who’re broke and jobless. The twosome is said to have drawn a lot of seetis with this paisa vasool act! This year’s highest voted female contestant Shakti teams up with last year’s Jay Kumar Nair in Terence Lewis’s pop jazz interpretation of the classic Kajra Mohobbatwala where the duo pose as beggars who … ahem … well, dance! On a special request from Grandmaster Mithun Da, the two kings of “locking & popping” – last year’s Prince and the current favorite Dharmesh “sir” are said to have put up a jaw-dropping hip hop act for the audience. With a deluge of enthralling performances and an interesting assortment of the old and new dancing talent, the latest episode of this dance reality show is an absolute must-watch!

Gabbar’s Birthday surprise - Master Remo D’souza gets a shock of his life on the eve of his birthday…!!

Come 5th April and the much celebrated bollywood choreographer and Master of Lux Dance India Dance Remo D’souza will turn a year older. And the Lux Dance India Dance crew had all the tricks up their sleeves to drop a bombshell on him!! Firstly, it was Grandmaster Mithun da’s unusual gift which had him totally awestruck! Remo unwrapped the package and to his delight found his old radio set which his parents had given him when he was striving hard to become a budding dancer. His craze for dance was so overpowering that every evening he used to take the radio set to the sea- side and practice dance religiously. Those were days when there weren’t too many opportunities for common people, especially in a small town like Jamnagar. Very few people know that Remo’s original name is ‘ Ramesh Gopi’. The crew played video tapes of friends, neighbors and family from Jamnagar who spoke highly of Remo and the success that he has achieved in his chosen field.

If one recollects, a few weeks back Remo had choreographed a routine on Saajan depicting how kids often forget their parents once they settle down in big cities. Amidst the glitz and glamour of city life, parents and family often take a back seat and are taken for granted. Remo had used this platform to apologize to his parents and spread message to all such kids for who parents have become last priority. In the VT, his sister said that he needn’t apologize for not having done enough for his family. They are extremely proud of him, his work and the success he has achieved in such a short period.

Caught in an emotional rollercoaster, Mithun da gives Remo another bolt from the blue. He goes backstage and gets his parents on the stage. A shell shocked Gabbar who is known for his tough exterior breaks down completely and falls on the stage. Totally overwhelmed he says, “For so many years I have wanted my parents to live with me but never once did they relent. Today DID has made the impossible possible. They were able to convince my parents which even I couldn’t do…. saat janmo tak nahin bhoolonga ye manch…ye pal.. thanks DID”. He touched his parents’ feet and gave a power packed performance which was ‘wow’ to say the least .

In this Remo special episode, it was Remo’s challenge to all the participants. The contestants had to live up to the styles specified by Remo sir. Accordingly they did various Hip Hop and Street Dance forms like – B- Boeing + Funk ( Kunwar Amarjeet) , Jabbawockies, (Saajan), Lyrical Hip- Hop (Dharmesh), Popping and Wacking ( Shakti) , Break dance ( Punit) , Crumping (Amrita) and Tutting (Binny).

We wish Master Remo Dsouza a very Happy Birthday and a great year ahead!

Hindi Serial - Bandini - Santu exposes the truth behind Moullick and Sandeep, and tries to bring together Kaddu and Shashank

In Bandini on NDTV Imagine, Santu is going all out to reveal all those are doing bad things behind the cloak of the rich and influential family, and she does not mind if she is blamed for exposing matters. Anyhow, she has a mission to try and bring the family together (but ever since she started out on this mission, she has exposed 3 family members who were upto no good; however, 3 of them have been penalized).
First Santu had exposed Khemi as the person who was trying to prevent the birth of more heirs in the family (she would use poisons to try and kill the baby in the womb so that her son would always be supreme). Once she was exposed, she lost her strong position in the household.
Next was the major doings by the 2 person duo of Sandeep and Moullick. Sandeep was a strong person in the household by virtue of his marriage to Kaddu (who had divorced Shashank to marry Sandeep); this was not something that Santu ever liked since she knew that Shashank was a very good individual while Sandeep was more of a villain. However, until Kaddu could be convinced of this, it would not matter since she was a strong supported of her husband.
Santu got a chance to prove things to Kaddu when she discovered that it was Sandeep and Moullick who were behind the kidnapping and exploitation of women in the area; they earned huge amounts of money from this but it was a dastardly crime that they were carrying out, with the potential of sullying the family name if it ever came out that they were involved. Santu once catches them in the act, and to convince Kaddu, she places Kaddu in a situation where their evil nature was exposed to Kaddu. Now, they are exposed before the family, and the family has placed them before the police. DM also tells both of them that their real punishment from the family is yet to come, and that Sandeep should forget about his wife, Kaddu. He is also starting to re-discover that Santu is maybe the one bright person who is cleaning up the household (inspired by Baa).

Hindi Serial - Jyoti - Has Brij started blackmailing Bhairavi at the time of Pankaj's marriage ?

The serial Jyoti on NDTV Imagine has started getting more interesting. Till now it was that Jyoti used to listen to the various speeches given to her by many people, primarily Bhairavi (also known as CM) in silence, choosing to cry silently. However, in the recent past, she had started replying to Bhairavi when she would come across some injustice. And now things have got even more interesting. Bhairavi has planned the second marriage of Pankaj (after Jyoti decided to agree to lie in a document so as to allow him to get divorced earlier), and Sudha is now not cooperating with her too much (and her husband Uday will typically support her in all this).
What has made the situation much more interesting is the emergence of Brij from jail. After coming out of jail, he explained that he had no more interest in either Jyoti or Sushma, since both of them were poor and there was no benefit in trying to get anything out of them. Instead he heads to the house of Pankaj, which is when Bhairavi gets scared when she sees Brij over there. She does not know what the motive of Brij to be there could be, but given that they had an arrangement in the past to get Jyoti out of the house and out of the marriage with Pankaj, it was quite clear that Brij knew things that Bhairavi would not want Pankaj to know.
So, most likely we are going to see Brij starting to blackmail Bhairavi because of the knowledge he has, and in a matter of coincidence, Jyoti will also be there at the function (something that Bhairavi is deeply distressed by). And the final coincidence will be when the intended bride of Pankaj, Neelam, will be late turning up for the marriage. The next couple of episodes should be interesting. And there is the budding romance between Jyoti and Kabir, one wonders where that romance will go.
