Boogie Woogie India

Saturday night started with few jokes by the judges. Naved joked about the marriage alliance that he eyes for which was followed by a sher by Ravi and Jaaved calling them back and reminding to start the show.

The first mother to start the Saturday night family round was the pretty lady Neelu Rai who came in with her husband, brother, sister and niece. This family takes you on a yesteryear ride dancing on a medley comprising of few golden hits starting with “saamne ye kaun aaya”. Neelu wore a red color outfit with golden bottom and a golden scraf. She looked liked a doll. The scooter props that were used added extra charm to the performance. The dancing steps by the entire family was good. Her husband came in dancing to song “kahdu tumhe ya chup rahu” and both Neelu and her husband had a romantic time on the Boogie Woogie stage. The wall prop that was used was again very cute. Naved had a really big smile and it looked like he was enjoying the most. The closure of the performance was neat. Overall it was a good entertaining number. The after performance talk brought a comment from Ravi when he remarked saying “aap Bruce Lee jaise dance kar rahe the”. Jaaved corrected Mr. Rai’s Hindi. Mr. Rai dedicated a song to Darjeeling and sang it along with his brother and nephew. Naved gave Neelu the best compliment when he said “Darjeeling ka sunrise bahut khoobsurat hota hai aor woh sunrise humne yaha dekha hai”.

There was sher shayari competition at this point between Ravi and Naved. When Naved started the sher, it was completed by Ravi and vice versa making their audience laugh.

The second mother to perform in this family round was Ripanpreet Sidhu who was more then happy to perform and meet her entire family. She came in with her extended family and performed a Punjabi number. Ripanpreet wore a pretty red color ghagra but wore it in a punjabi style. She looked great and plus she was getting a chance to perform along with her husband and so her smile was saying it all. Her performance started with Punjabi verse from the song “sona sona” from movie Major Saab. She danced with her family on the above number and then it all clears up making room for a romantic number “teri ore” where she danced romantically with her husband. Both the pair looked good and her husband carried good smiles throughout. Ripans brother and her son then joins her along with entire family dancing to song “jee karda”. Overall steps were well synched making the entire performance a well entertaining number. The after performance talk informed that Ripan has couple of good singers in her family as her brother sang a song “munde gabaru” and girls performing a gidda on the stage. Mother was the cutest and was the highlight. Jaaved Jaaffery was especially pleased on seeing the large family and how they came in to support Ripanpreet and he was very happy. Ripan’s father who couldn’t join her in her family round, sent her a video clipping wishing his daughter for the competitions. It was emotional moment for Ripanpreet. Overall it did convey a message loud and clear that Ripan has a loving large family who will stand for her in her support at any time. Now Ripan just needs to come out of the inferior complex and work on the relations outside. A lot of times just because we are weak in one area such as language speaking, we think others when they speak that language are often making fun of us. It is not true. 99.99 percent of the times, people are not even bothered to gossip about us. We just need to forget the petty things and mix with everyone just the way we mix with our own family. They say right “winning hearts at home is easy but winning hearts with strangers is commendable”. We do hope to see the Ripan that we saw in the first episode all bubbly and cheerful back and out of the shell.

The last performance of the night was from sweet Harpreet kaur who came in with her husband, mother, sister, brother in law and her cousin. The intro of this performance was hilarious with husband and mother in law both making Harpreet do all the home work tiring her out and she in turn cursing her husband to be a woman to know what women go through. When the curse comes true, husband changes into a woman and so does the song “Maahi Ve” making them dance to it. Harpreet’s family as the judges said is a very talented family and so the performance should be loved by one and all. The entire steps choreographed were well performed by all members making it a must watch and thoroughly entertaining. The brother spoof in middle was neatly placed and it was awesomely done. The change of music in the end with faster steps was beautiful. The after performance talk is a MUST MUST Watch for one big reason and that is Harpreet’s brother in law who performed great mimicry on the stage. Don’t forget to watch it! It was totally a paisa wasool performance!! Harpreet also spoke very high about Naved and how he helped in making so many celebrities and yet maintains his humble and down to earth attitude. We fully agree with this statement and this blog stands true in admiration of this great superhero. We shall talk more about him in separate article tomorrow.

After the flashback and a little teasing, it was time for results which brought breath of fresh air in knowing that the judges decided not to eliminate anyone. Yes – there was no elimination this week but the following week will enter into the toughest rounds making mothers dance to the dance genre that they are least comfortable with. Thank You judges for no eliminations this week
