Dancers are pushing the limits on Dance India Dance

With every week,and every performance,the top ten contestants of Dance India Dance are just getting better and better. More than their acts of versatility and perfection,it’s now boiling down to content and presentation. Which translates to out-of-the-box ideas,next to impossible stunts and extraordinary moves. While dance master Remo has been earning most of the brownie points for unusual style which have turned out fantastically in the form of Bollywood masala,chau and malkhamb,this week,it’s master Terence’s performance through Jai and Vrushali that’s got him rows of raised eyebrows. In a bid to outdo the other masters,Terence took the risk of choreographing a pretty hot number on the song ‘Hai rama’ from the movie Rangeela. Well,it let off a lot of steam,and left grand master Mithun Da quite uncomfortable! As the finale comes closer,the dancers are pushing the limits. While this week will see one of the strongest female contenders,Bhavna Purohit out of the show,the other contestants will compete fiercely,even if that means crossing a line of fire. That’s right,post Salman Ghouse’s fiery Chau act,which got him maximum votes,others are putting themselves through rings of fire! From Bollywood Salsa to hanging mid- air from a ring to balancing from a rope,the rush to outperform each other has seized the contestants and the mentors as well. While the channel’s stressing on safety,Ghouse in his defence says,”I was severely reprimanded by the channel after a couple of my acts,although they were outstanding. If I don’t have a problem risking my life,why is it a cause of worry for the others?” Another example is that of Mangesh Mondol. Insecurity led him to do a senseless stunt that landed him with a bloodied fractured hand,and then,Siddheshe’s 45 Kg Kathakali costume caused him to lose consciousness.

“Everytime I see these children perform terrible stunts I hold my breath and cross my fingers. I have told them innumerable times,that in the bid to win the competition they should not risk their lives. There are still about 6 -7 weeks left for the show to get over…I don’t know what else they will show me. I just pray that they are in one piece when they return home after the show,” wishes Mithun Da.

Watch the contestants get more fearless on Zee TV’s Dance India Dance.
