Sept 11th – Review Update of Boogie Woogie Mummy’s Championship Episode 31 – SemiFinals!!

 

 

 

Mummy Championships September 11th brought tiny tots back to Boogie Woogie stage but this time to pair up with the mummy’s and help them enter the finals. One interesting factor was that this time around the mummy’s were not divided into half to perform on one day each but to perform on both the days simultaneously. Judges informed that the marks will be totaled and one least scored person will get eliminated on Saturday. The marks that were given were only based on mummy’s performance and no marks were allotted to the little Boogie Woogians.

The first mother to start the performance was Saili Desai and she was paired up with Salonee Gokhale. Now who isn’t aware with Salonee? Sayli Desai1We all know that apart from being a good dancer she is extremely good in her expressions. Coming back to Saili’s performance, beautiful props were used of dhol and dhol wala and that added charm to the performance. Saili and Saloni performed the Maharashtrian dance “Launi”. Saili was dressed up in Blue saree and Saloni was in yellow. It was one cute entertaining number. While watching this performance, you automatically get diverted towards Saloni as she was awesome yet again in her dance and expressions. The performance was peppy as the song and was enjoyable. The after performance talk was funny especially the judges. Cats mimicry by Salonee’s mother was funny too. Coming to Jaaved Jaaffery’s comment, he said Salonee’s expressions were better and he found the finishing was less but on the whole it was well attempted.

Sonia Dias1 The next mother to perform was the Hip Hop queen – Sonia Dias. Sonia was paired up with little master winner of 07 – Ritu Raj. One thing I am sure everyone will observe is that Ritu has lost lots of weight and looking his best. Sonia wore a green color outfit and Ritu was in orange. I think this was the first time that Sonia had attempted a typical Bollywood number as we had seen her mostly in western/ Hip Hop. Both Sonia and Ritu used good steps and made is a well entertaining number. Ritu Raj was absolutely adorable in his expressions. The steps that were used were great. It was one adorable performance. Jaaved’s expert comments informed that he felt feminism was less in Sonia’s performance and she should work on it.

Ritu Gupta1 The third mother to perform was our perfect mom Ritu Gupta who got little master blaster my favorite Madhav Wazalwar as her dancing partner. Ritu and this tiny tot put a brilliant performance together. They both danced on song “aana aaja na ab laage jiya na akela”. It was totally adorable performance and should be a must watch from every angle. The steps that both took were sweet yet fast. As the song was peppy, it added lots of charm to the performance. As we all know, when Madhav is on stage then the after performance talk has to be funny, sweet and adorable and so it was. Watch him choose Ritu over his mother just for pocket money. The comments from Jaaved were that both Ritu and Madhav performed very well and he said “dance khul ke kiya hai”.

Neelu Rai1 The next mother to perform was Neelu Rai who got little shayara Shivalika Dhait. The set was beautifully decorated using grass. Neelu wore blue ghagra choli and Shilvalika was in electric pink color. Both together danced on popular number “Kuchi kuchi rakamma” from movie “Bombay”. This pair danced like mother and daughter pair and performed gracefully. If you forget the technicalities that Javed mentioned in later part, then it was one entertaining performance. The after performance talk brought plenty of sher shayari by Shivalika and I think it wouldn’t have been fair if she hadn’t narrated her shayari as it was much awaited one. The comments by Jaaved on the performance were “confusion zyada tha” and it looked like she was forgetting her steps. Expressions were good and overall it was well performed.

The fifth mother to perform was the Punjab favorite Ripanpreet Sidhu who got last years winner “Vaishnavi Patil” as her dancing partner. Both were dressed up in colorful ghagra choli in multi color and danced on “Ishq Kamina” song. As soon as I heard this song and saw Vaishnavi dance Ripanpreet Sidhu1 along with Ripanpreet, my instant reaction was “Why this song????” This song is not for kids! If this song was chosen by Ripanpreet to perform along with a adult dancer, it would have justified but not with Vaishnavi. It’s just me but I feel, any expressions that any kid gives or dances on the adult meaning song would be rubbish. Anyway, I don’t blame Ripanpreet for choosing this song and blame the Boo choreographers for alloting the number to a mother kid pair. Forgetting the censored song, coming back to performance, Vaishnavi was too good. She was energetic and was rhythmic. Ripanpreet at times missed the beat and also was late in her steps by couple of second in compared with Vaishnavi making the mistakes obvious. After performance talk informed that Ripan forgets here steps when she is tensed. She knew she had messed up her performance and was clear in the talk. Jaaved gave a very useful tip to her and asked her not to think of mistakes so that she doesn’t forget her steps while performing. Naved too advised her to sing the song while practicing and that way she will remember the steps in your head. Ravi advised her “magan hokar dance kara kare”. Jaaved complimented little Vaishnavi on her dancing style.

Sabah Bari1 The last but definitely not the least and was the best in Friday episode was Saba Bari who got the 07 champion Papiya Sarkar as her dancing partner. They both together danced on one of my most favorite and nostalgic song “Lukka Chuppi”. Saba wore a multi color ghagra and Papiya was dressed up as a boy in yellow color kurti and dhoti. Both together threw in a graceful, adorable and superb performance. They danced in such a way that it straight reaches your heart and makes your eyes moist. The closure was great too and is definitely a must watch! The after performance brought the best compliments from Jaaved Jaafferi as he said the performance was the best so far and was executed very well.

With the above performance Friday night episode ended to bring power packed Saturday episode where all the mothers would dance once again before the elimination results were announced.
