Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika and Happy New Year team say ‘Dil Se Naachein Indiawaale’

The show is a series of 10 episodes series, spread across five weeks. It aired on October 11, and encourages every Indian to not give importance to considerations such as technique, training, and instead, let their hair down and dance straight from their heart.

“DSNI is the first of its kind multi-city dance tour with a mission to find the happiest dancer in the country. Unlike Dance India Dance, this time around, we are not looking for a flawless and technically brilliant dancer, but a person who dances straight from his heart, bringing a smile to everyone’s face. The core idea is to spread happiness across the country through dance,” says Namit Sharma, Programming Head, Zee TV.

The show will travel to multiple cities, and attempts to give a platform to those who feel happy when they dance. Performing in front of the “Agents of Happiness” who include Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Farah Khan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani and Vivaan Shah. Despite not being trained, participants put up a spectacular show.

Age is not a barrier, which was shown by the ‘Old is Gold’—a group of senior-citizens from Mumbai. The mood of the whole show was enthralling and joyous with hosts, Jay Bhanushali and Bharti joking around in between. Delhi-based nurse Nora Jon set the stage ablaze with her animated expressions while performing a song from Happy New Year. SRK was so amazed with her that asked her to perform the song with him again, and check if he gets himself on fire, refering to the scene in HNY when Padukone sets SRK on fire everytime she touches him. Also, a middle-aged women kitty group elatedly danced, and performed very well.

During the show Bharti mentioned that Padukone is jealous of her as she has a hotter figure, and Padukone can’t replicate
it. Also, we saw Sonu Sood showing off his six packs after a request by one of the contestants. He also did some push-ups, and SRK commented , “Ye toh koi bhi kar sakta hai, Bharti ko peeth pe bithake karke toh challenge mana jayega.”

This resulted in Sood doing push-ups with Bharti on her back.

The show was engrossing, and was very realistic. We look forward to seeing more such power-packed performances, and light-hearted fun in the remaining weeks.
