Boogie Woogie India

First - Ravi and Naved is back!! But Javed was missing.

This week, Naache Taare Zameen Par had "Family Round" as its theme and it was fantastic. The guest of honor was Tabassum who is more popularly known as Baby Tabassum. It started with a fantastic sher and then the next guest in Boogie Woogie was introduced who was "Uday Sarkar". He got couple of volunteers and he showed some magic tricks. It was pretty interesting to watch. I need to know more on Uday Sarkar so I shall be back soon after my research

The first participant for Friday night was little master blaster Madhav Wazalwar who got his parents and three friends to accompany him in family round and he danced on song "Maa ka Laadla" from movie Dostana. He played his mischievous self in his theme and it was a adorable performance and it was fantastic to see his parents dance. Pretty sportive. The music was upbeat and the performance was highly enjoyable. One should applaud for parents who can do anything for their kids. I do hope these kids will remember what extremes their parents went when they grow up and will take care of them just the way they are taking care now.

The next participant was Sanoy Dev who got his grand mother, mother, uncle and his brother. He danced on song "Street Dancer". Sanoy’s dance was mind blowing and I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I say this performance was his best till date. He initially started off alone and was joined by his family who wore colorful wigs and goggles and it was pretty interesting as it added charm to his performance. I wish his family had danced more but nevertheless they participated that itself is good enough. Being supportive and to wear clown/ punk wigs and costumes is not a joke. But Sanoy compensated for the missing dance by his family by his extra efforts. Good job Sanoy!

Okay so what happens when a magician is in house - more entertainment - try to catch reruns or videos - pretty interesting, cute and ahem ahem

Alright next was the turn of the Internet sensation for Naache Taare Zameen Par - Rashmi Kunder who was accompanied by her parents and brother and got theme as Ramayan. This performance was cutest and as we know Rashmi is an awesome dancer, her dance steps were fantastic. Rashmi’s father spoke well and also thanked Rashmi’s school principal and teachers. he showed his humorous side too and Ravi, Naved and Tabassum praised them for picking the theme "Ramayan" as the theme to which Mr. Kunder was quick enough to give the credit to the Boogie Woogie Choreographers "Vinod and Sumeet".

The next participant was Phalguni Bhardwaj who was accompanied by her parents, uncle, aunt and cousins and the song they danced on was "Taaki Taaki" but actually was a medley of songs starting with an old melodious number. It started with Bhagwan’s song "Bholi surat dil ke chote" with her uncle and then the "Taaki Taaki" song started. Okay here is a family who participated entirely and actually danced and it was simply fantastic. It was Phalguni’s mothers birthday and a birthday song was sung for her. Tabassum was awesome in her compliments, wishes and narrating her shers and Phalguni’s uncle was brilliant in both singing for Boogie Woogie and more brilliant in his humorous shayari - must watch!!

The last participant for Friday night was the much talented Shivalika Dhait who was accompanied by her mother, father, uncle, aunties. She was dressed beautifully in red and I think this is the first time she danced a western and was looking absolute adorable and she danced again flawlessly on songs from movie Om Shanti Om. Her family was sportive and danced well. Shivalika’s parents, uncle and aunties were superb. Now was the time which I started to wait breathlessly and that listening to Shivalika’s sher shayari and she was yet again fantastic and mind blowing. I cant wait to see this little wonder wonder what she will turn out to be in her future but sure do hope she doesn’t give up on her talent.

With this Yogesh danced little with Shivalika and it was told by Ravi that we soon will be seeing him on Jhalak Dikhla ja as he will be dancing and it was time to say the last "Boo" for the evening to come back next day with the rest of the participants.

Videos are available on Apni Community and India Forums!!

I couldn’t help notice but I don’t know how many else have observed that Simran Sheikh - a very talented contestant from Boogie Woogie’s Naache Taare Zameen Par is not to be seen anymore. She had qualified for the theme rounds with her fabulous performance and then disappeared in thin air.

Simran, in her initial rounds had surprised everyone with her awesome dancing skills and had proved to be a great Hip Hop Dancer. The last we saw Simran was during the round when her father danced on the stage with her.

Well, we just hope everything is fine with this little angel and we do hope to see her back on Boogie Woogie sometime soon. We wish nothing but the best for her.

God Bless You Simran!!

Okay Saturday night’s show had Javed by himself and both Ravi and Naved were missing AGAIN from the studio but Javed opened the show in his own style and did a fantastic job. So did anyone miss Ravi and Naved? Naa!! … just kidding!! Normally when Javed is busy with his shootings and Ravi and Naved carries the show even though they do a wonderful job but still something is missing so the same way one could miss both the guys from this week’s episode. I think all three together makes a complete package and anyone missing from the trio makes one feel a little incomplete and makes one wish for all of them to be there after all almost 13 years of seeing them is not a joke!

Today the special guests who came to promote their movie was Mukesh Bhatt/ Mahest’s Bhatt’s movie starcast of "Raaz" the young and dynamic upcoming actor Adhyan Suman who danced to the song from his movie "Raaz". Javed said, Adhyan’s father "Shekhar Suman" is his friend and he lives in the same building as Javed. After the dance performance, Mohit Suri, the director of the movie joined the staged along with Raju Singh, music director of the movie. I do like the music of this movie and it is not a surprise as usual to see good music in the Bhatt’s movies. Okay now comes the interesting part. The music that we hear all the time "Boo boo boogie Woogie" that music is composed by Raju Singh. It was nice to see him on stage with his music being played by 13 years but maybe its time that he composes a new piece for the show. oops did I say that!

Okay the first participant to perform tonight is the new heart throb from Mangalore who is creating raves all over internet, Rashmi Kunder. This talented kid performed tonight along with Saurabh Bahadure. Both of them jumped pretty neatly in style and danced on song "Race hai saanso ki". Both danced fantastically and were in sync. We all have seen some superb performances by Rashmi Kunder and compared with those dances, tonight’s performance was lukewarm. Don’t get me wrong - its not her fault. Rashmi is so much talented and skilled that I am pretty sure if the choreography was left to her, she surely would have performed some great steps then the ones that were given to her this week. When Rashmi comes on stage, you automatically start to expect extraordinary. Anyway, the performance was good and was enjoyable. After performance talk was interesting. Is it only me or does someone else also feel that Adhyan Suman resembles little in Ranbir Kapoor?

Next was Phalguni Bhardwaj’s performance and this little beautiful wonder danced on song "thoda sa pagla thoda sa sayana". Pardon me if this is not the right title for the song but the girls danced superbly. Yashita had performed along with Phalguni. All their latka’s and jhatkas were cute and the performance was enjoyable. The after performance talk was hilarious. Okay what is must watch is Phalguni’s sher. It is so impressing that the young children are showing so much of interest in sher shayari’s. That’s what’s up!! This is how a culture gets carried forward. Good job Phalguni - keep it up!!

The spoof next with Madhav Wazalwar and Naved was too hilarious. Damn with  MSM, but go to India Forums and watch the video if you missed the rerun or the actual show. It’s too cute

Raju Singh sang the song "Soniyo" from movie "Raaz". I must say it’s beautiful song with a beautiful meaning and he sang it superbly. It surely should be a blockbuster hit.

The next participant was Viren Raj Baraik. Both the boys danced to song "Tu hai meri soniye aye paapi". They were rythymic and threw in a wonderful performance. But again what Viren performed earlier and compared with his potential this performance was lukewarm. He definitely could do much more better. Looks like the Boo Choreographers were tired and took this week’s performance little bit lightly. The after performance talk was hilarious especially when M. Sankeerthan Reddy "Viren’s" partner narrated a NTR’s Telugu dialogue. I am just going to go off the record but I have to tell you, N. T. Rama Rao is my favorite too. He and Chandra Babu Naidu did wonders for Andhra Pradesh. Anyway, back to the show, Viren then narrated a Bhojpuri dialogue and it was fantastic. Javed praised their dance.

This time little Swasti Nitya and Sanjana Bamrada carried the spoof and as usual it was cute.

Okay now was the turn of the super talented girl "Shivalika Dhait" who performed with Juhi and they both danced on a Marathi folk danced and it was superbly enjoyable. Every step they took, every expression was fantastic. Shivalika is an awesome dancer there is no doubt about it but her talent in sher shayari’s (poetry) is something that I am sure along with me many others look forward to. Javed spoke words from my heart - he hoped she gets gets a chance in many other shows on Television to show case the wonderful talent that she possess. I think she should also participate in Chinchpokli to China. or Boogie Woogie should make her a permanent member where she gets to narrate her shayari every week. This girl GOT TALENT BIG TIME!! Her appearance or performance in any shows on television should definitely add spice Anyway when Ravi asked her to say a sher on Adhyan, she narrated a beautiful sher in her typical style and I can say that was the highlight. Must watch! Thanks Boogie Woogie for searching such great talent!

Juhi - Shivalika’s partner requested the guys to dance and Javed then showed his swollen foot due to sprain but he was sportive enough to join others on the stage to dance and yes HE DANCED ADORABLY. God Bless you Javed! Hope you are feeling better.

The last participant on Saturday night is the little hero - Madhav Wazalwar along with Saloni and they both danced cutely, adorably and fantastically on a folk song. I am not familiar which song it is but I am assuming it is either Tamil or Malyalam. Please correct me if I am wrong. The steps they took and the energy it was performed with was just mind blowing and it was definitely the best performance for Saturday night! Javed too praised Madhav and also the looks on the guests could say they all enjoyed the performance a lot. The after performance talk was adorable. Madhav sang a Marathi song and with this result announcement followed.

And this week unfortunately the elimination was written for Boogie Woogie’s little angel with billion dollar smile "Sayalee Tupe"

We wish Sayalee Tupe all the Very Best and do hope to see her back real soon in Boogie Woogie! God Bless You!

Today the show started with Javed and there was no Ravi and Naved. Now listen to this - its hilarious, Javed says there is a good news and bad news and the good news is that Ravi and Naved both will not be on the show tonight and the audience is clapping and cheering (of course a drama) and then Javed says the bad news is that they are at a school but via satellite they will be dropping by from time to time and the audience starts to boo. Okay this was not all - the next scene is shown where Ravi and Naved both are walking into a class and the contestants of Naache Taare Zameen Par are in that class. They say dance is important but at the same time prayers are important too so stand up and pray! And here you find all the kids standing with their hands together to sing a bhajan

"Hamare Ravi Naved mahaan,
hamare Ravi Naved mahaan
Ooncha Chauda maatha inka,
Ooncha chauda maatha inka
Bandar jaise Kaan
Hamare Ravi Naved mahaan"

It was hilarioussssssss, now back to studios where Javed narrated a joke and then he announce the guest for Friday night’s guest on Boogie Woogie which was "Anu Malik". He not only came to judge the talent of Naache Taare Zameen Par but also came to promote the music of upcoming movie "Victory" starring Harman Baweja. I heard the music of it and I do like the music to tell you honestly. Though sometimes Anu Malik’s behavior and attitude really puts me off but he does have plenty of superhit super melodious compositions to his credit. Probably very few I can say I didn’t like but otherwise he is a talented composer minus the attitude.

Javed explains to him about tonight’s episode where he says the last years participants will be accompanying the Naache Taare Zameen Par contestants and it is going to be great. Anu Malik then expresses his interest and says he is eager to see the talent of Boogie Woogie.

Ravi and Naved then are shown via sattelite where both of them are in the class wishing Anu Malik. I cannot write their jokes at this point, you will just have to see it.

The first participant to start the show rocking was Vaishali Patil and Cyrus from last year accompanied her on song "No no tum kissi pe na marna" and they danced superbly. Vaishali especially was way better then the PVC pipe in the original movie and I enjoyed her dance to the core for the first time. And I must say the somersaults that they took were breath taking. Simply awesome! On the whole the entire performance was just fantastic. Vaishali is extremely talented kid and she has proved herself in classical and today in western she matched her dance with same amount of energy and perfection. Awesome Vaishali - Keep it up!!

Anu Malik complimented her saying when she didn’t understand the lyrics but she gave perfect expressions. And also he invited her for Indian Idol and praised her singing. Cyrus Wong then did a somersault on his head on Javed’s request and it was simply mind blowing. Javed corrected that to be head spin and then he performed a head flip. Whatever he performed it was awesome!!

I for some reason can’t seem to believe its Anu Malik on the sets of Boogie Woogie. He is so much behaving - Damn!! I do like him better this way. Wish he continues this way on the Indian Idol show too. Anyway back to the Patshaala where Ravi and Naved asks their students to write an essay on their favorite animal and one of their student writes on both of them. It was hilarious.

The next participant to perform tonight little smiley doll - Sayalee Tupe. She did a Marathi dance with her partner and both of them were adorably aweosme. Both the heights and personalities matched and plus the dance steps were highly enjoyable. The after performance talk was great especially of Anu Malik. Maybe its the sets of Boogie Woogie that changes the person. Anyway tonight’s show is very entertaining. Must watch!!!

Madhav Wazalwar answers a question that Anu Malik asks him. The question was what is the similarity between Naved and George Bush so Madhav answers back saying "Press throws shoes on Bush and girls does the same on Naved". Hilarious but a lot of times I do wonder why Ravi and Naved joke all the time about themselves. I am pretty sure no such thing happens in their actual life so why such jokes?

The next participant to take the show forward was Sakshi and Sanjana Bamrada. They danced on song "Aye bachu tu sunle". They were dressed in classical and danced very well. Though what I felt was Sanjana’s dance was more energetic then Sakshi’s. There was slightly sync problem by a second. But on the whole it was fantastic. After performance talk was hilarious both talking gibberish and as well as singing Anu Malik’s song. By the way I really liked the way Anu Malik instantly made music on the riddle and I thought that was awesome.

Though Ravi and Naved were in the classroom but you could miss their presence in the studio. I wonder why they are not in the studios?????

The next participant was the little wonder who has been winning everyone’s heart with her talent and plus with her innocence - Swasti Nitya. She was dressed up so adorably in Punjabi and came to dance on song - Salaam e ishq. She did absolutely a fabulous job. She normally dances flawlessly for a 5 year old but today she tore the stage apart with perfect tumkas and latkas and jhatkas. Her partner Amruta too was brilliant. Her after performance talk was again as usual was heart warming. Must watch!!

Watch Javed do Javed Akhtar’s mimicry - he is such a talented guy. They way he played music with mouth was amazing. I also heard that he plays great guitar and keyboard. What a guy!! God Bless You Javed!!

Next was Sanoy who performed really adorably and his performance was really energetic and very much in sync and I definitely have enjoyed it a lot. They danced on song "Kaisi kaisi Ram milaye jodi". Their expressions, steps and every moment was just fantastic. Must watch! Oh my God, it is so nice to watch the mellow down  Anu Malik, it was fantastic which only makes me feel that the drama that we see on Indian Idol is only scripted or Sony is making him behave like Simon and in actually Anu Malik is a good person. Damn these channels for what all they do for the TRP’s! Anyways the after performance talk and singing between Anu Malik and Sanoy was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Then there was a spoof between Ravi and Madhav and Bondiya.

The last participant for tonight was Nupur who performed with Prerna. Both the girls danced to "Chori chori dekhe mujhko". I use to feel that Nupur’s performances were okay in the beginning but as the time went on she started to surprise with her hidden talent and this weeks performance was the best of the evening. You could enjoy every beat because of the dance they performed. Both the girls were absolutely flawless. A Must must Watch!!

Anu Malik sings "Ek garam chai ki pyali ho" and Javed gave music. It was fantastic!!

With this the Friday night episode ended and the rest of the participants will perform on Saturday night before the eliminations.

TO WATCH THE VIDEOS, PLEASE VISIT EITHER INDIA-FORUMS OR APNI COMMUNITY!!

Saturday’s episode started right from the judge’s seat instead of from the stage. Ravi, Naved and Javed came up with some funny jokes - Ravi and Javed said hilarious shayari and Naved came up a funny joke.

The first participant was Nupur Bhatt and she got the "pop star" as her theme. This little wonder danced superbly and flawlessly. I must say the Boogie Woogie Boo dancers are just fabulous. It added lot more charm but the credit does goes to little Nupur to match up with their energies and give an absolutely fantastic performance. She got standing ovation from Javed, Naved and Ravi. Javed said she danced better then the actresses and also the performance looked better then any professional dances that are found in award functions. That I think is the biggest compliment that any participant of Naache Taare Zameen Par got and if a comment like that comes in from Jaaved Jaafferi then that is something. Bravo Nupur - Keep it up!

Next participant who came was Shivalika Dhait who got a theme as Krishna and she was dressed up beautifully in blue color and looked just like a little Krishna. She also danced beautifully a classical number and every step and expression was superb to watch. I just love this theme round. It makes the show so much more special and enjoyable. Everything is so perfect that it makes you engrossed in it totally. She and her father both did a small acting on stage and it was adorable. Her father also thanked Boogie Woogie for giving a big chance on the stage and also for his daughter.

Ravi and Naved both had a wonderful joke and a shayari. It was hilarious.

The third contestant to perform on Saturday night was little Vaishnavi Patil. She got "Salsa" from Saroj ji. I must say I was totally mesmerized by her performance and I definitely have never seen such a beautiful performance ever. She danced superbly beautiful. When she was dancing, I could not take my eyes and have not even winked in awe. She is too good! She is someone to watch out for sure. What a talent and what flexibility. Her energy is beyond any words. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Bravo Vaishnai!! Javed praised her and then he explained the meaning of the song. And for few seconds I thought he was serious about the explanations. If the laugh in the background was not there I would have taken his story seriously. Anyway she got excellent comments from all three judge’s.

Next participant to come was little Kumkum Gujar who got theme "Patriotic". She was dressed in green classical dress and danced on a beautiful song "Chanda suraj". It was heart soothing song and performance. I love this song and the meaning of it. Her after performance talk was cute. She said her best friend is Swasti and also narrated a very cute poem on patriotism and also she said she likes Kiren the boo dancer because of his stylish beard. The entire conversation was hilarious.

Now it was turn of Sanoy Dev and he got theme "Computer Games". He danced with the boo dancers on computerized version of "Mein hu Don" and did a fabulous job. The sync and energy between the boo dancers and Sanoy was perfect and the dance was very enjoyable. Like Javed said, today’s performances looked better then any performances which you see in award functions. R & N Productions "Boogie Woogie" has a lot to be proud of. They are producing a show that is the best ever in Indian television. Sanoy’s after performance was hilarious both when Naved talked about the computer games and physical activity and also Sanoy narrating a dialogue which was funny.

Sanjana Bamrada came in for a spoof and it was funny. They say the wise people will never call themselves wise and the best individuals is one who takes jokes on themselves well and these both the things are found with Ravi and Naved.

The last participant to come on Saturday night before the eliminations was Sanjana Bamrada and she danced very stylishly on "my desi girl". She sure has lots of potential and she is someone to watch out for. She has everything to enter into Bollywood when she grows up. Very talented girl. Her after performance talk was interesting. She also gave a wise answer when she was asked who is best among a desi girl and a western girl and she said a desi girl is better as that is her. She got good compliments from the judges and everything was entertaining.

Now comes the painful part - eliminations. Unfortunately the one to get eliminated this week was Kumkum Gujar. We wish Kumkum "All the very Best and sure do hope to see her in future Boogie Woogie series."

To watch the videos, go to India Forums and Apni Community. They have been uploading videos from several years. Enjoy!

Have a goodnight folks.

Today’s episode started with some really funny jokes by Ravi and Naved and then Javed came in with extra hilarious joke. I am not going to write about it as its fun to watch. Must see!

Saroj ji has trained all the contestants with the given themes looking at their caliber and today’s episode will be a theme based and the contestants will be dancing along with group dancers but the marks will be given only to the contestant and not to the dancers.

The first participant to set the stage ablaze was little Madhav Wazalwar - the stylish and adorable kid. He got theme “Moogli” and was dressed with shorts and leaves and looked like a typical moogli.  Now coming to his performance - I have to tell you this. His performance makes you feel nostalgic. Took me to the good old Doordarshan days when I use to watch Moogli with my family. And little Madhav’s performance is something you will cherish for a long time. It is the cutest thing I have seen on Television. The best performance ever so far. Touches your heart. By the way, I am writing this before listing to the judges comments. Now let’s see what judges had to say but with the smile on their faces, it sure looked like they loved the performance. By the way, I must compliment the group dancers - they did a fabulous job and added so much charm to the entire performance. Good job Boogie Woogie!! They had a very cute tree like chair where Madhav sat and it complimented the show very well. There are so many tiny things if you observe closely that will just fill your heart. Must must watch!! When Naved asked Madhav what’s the difference between Salman’s body and his body so Madhav said the difference is “little”. Watch him making faces and sounds when he says he feels bad when anyone makes fun of him. Okay I am just going to stop here so that you can watch. I surely am going to add this video clip to my all time favorites. Awesome job Madhav! God bless you!

The next participant to come was another little wonder “Phalguni Bhardwaj”. Her theme was “formation” and Saroj ji complimented her saying she is a very talented dancer and she has chosen this special theme for her. She danced on song “Taare Zameen Par”. Phalguni’s performance was graceful. It was serene. Again a heart touching number and as they say if the start is good then everything else follows but Phalguni’s dance takes you from one mood to totally another heart warming phase. She is beautiful and also you can see that beauty in her dance. If I simply have to put her performance in one word, then it was flawless. I particularly loved one step when she performed like a drop in water. Her after performance talk was again adorable. She again came with a joke on Naved who as usual took her joke so sportingly. She also narrated a funny sher which I thought her style was great and funny. Watch her!

Javed has his own style in comedy. Actually the confusion that I face most of the time is I don’t know when they are talking seriously and when they are joking. Today he talked about how to recognize the true currency - Watch it!

The next to come was the little princess with great smile - Sayalee Tupe. Saroj ji had given her “Folk dance” as her theme and praised her ability to perform folk dance superbly. This 6 year old danced to a Marathi folk number. She was dressed in beautiful red Marathi style saree and danced totally adorably. Judge’s smile showed that they thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Watch Sayalee’s steps and her expressions, they were too good. The highlight was after performance talk was hilarious.. I wont talk much just watch it!!

Okay now was the turn for the new sensation of Boogie Woogie Hip Hop princess - Rashmi Kunder. For the record, Rashmi has so far given all flawless performances and today’s dance only added more feathers to her cap. She danced absolutely fantastic and her energies were simply great. She danced on song “Shut up and dance” from movie Dostana and I have to tell you for the first time I enjoyed this song only because Rashmi danced to it. It was such a relief to see Rashmi instead of half naked Shilpa Shetty and almost naked John Abraham. Okay coming back to better deserved Rashmi, I have to say I am impressed with her talking skills. She spoke 75 percent in Hindi and that I think is a big improvement. Go Rashmi Go!! We are very proud of you!

Phalguni Bhardwaj did a spoof along with Ravi and Naved and although it was little predictable but it was totally fun to watch.

Next participant to perform is the yet another superstar of Boogie Woogie - little Swasti Adorable Nitya. Yes that’s her new middle name. She got “fairy tale” as her theme from Saroj Ji. She adorable said at the begining of her performance that fairy tale means “gori pari”. How could you not fall in love after listening to such talk? Her dance was superb with many remixes and today’s dance of Swasti was the best of her especially when she dances to jhoom jhoom jhoomroo. She was dressed in beautiful red dress and acted and danced superbly. Her after performance talk again was as usual entertaining. Must watch!

The last participant for tonight was definitely not the least but one who comes in the best dancers of Boogie Woogie. Biren Raj Baraik. This 9 year old got “Instrumental music” as his theme by Saroj ji. Saroj ji has praised his creativity and style of dance. And he danced to my one of my most favorite music that I personally have been waiting for long to see someone dance on Boogie Woogie - yes the music from movie “Yuvraaj”. His danced was absolutely wonderful. This was one performance where there was no chance of one predicting of what is going to happen next. Biren took his audience by surprise got everyone engrossed in him. I myself couldn’t help but was lost in his performance. Absolutely stunning and superb performance and I can say I felt it was the best for the evening.

Every week I write about Boogie Woogie is not just an entertaining show but it is very much informative and teaches the best lessons on air. Today Naved talked about something that makes one feel the sensation of being pricked in mind. He talked about the massive amount of currency that is lying in Swiss banks and if that currency reaches India then India can very well live a life without having to pay any taxes for the next 30 years peacefully and kids can have free education. It was pretty clear that the money belonged to corrupt politicians. A point very well brought. And that is why I strongly feel that India must wipe out the corrupt politicians and bring a new breed who will work for the betterment of the country in real sense, some people who really would feel for India from their souls. It is time the educated generation enter into politics. It is time the skilled and educated citizens of India return back to their home lands to join hands for the betterment of the country. Also elections are right around the corner, don’t shy away from voting. Choose the right candidate!

Have a goodnight folks! See you tomorrow - Jai Hind!!

First of all I am very sorry for the delay in review of Saturday’s Boogie Woogie - Naache Taare Zameen Par. As they say its always better to be late then never so even though I am a day or more late but I bring you the review and have hunt down for the videos as a late gift. Don’t ask me how I did but Saturday’s episode is something that shouldn’t be missed by anyone. In one word, it was “AWESOME”. What a talent these kids have - amazing. And apart from talent the show as usual was very informative, educational and inspiring. Boogie Woogie - I am very proud of you guys!!

The show started with a funny shayari by Ravi and Naved. Both of them threw punches at each other in their own funny poetic way making the atmosphere lighter as it was elimination day. Then Javed joined them in his own style bringing some more humor to the show. They also showed how Saroj ji taught the kids and gave the kids some priceless tips.

The first participant to start the show was Sanoy Dev who came in as Yana Gupta and danced on Babuji zara dheere chalo. His moves, expressions, and style were simply superb. Its so amazing the way he copied a girl in all the latka jhatkas. He was totally adorable. He surely has danced better then Yana. Must watch. Actually I am going to stop writing must watch as Saturdays each and every performance is a must watch and there is no doubt about it. He got good comments from the judges. He looked like a cute girl all the way except that when he sat down on the chair then he was just like a boy and that cracked me up. Okay now comes the funny part. Sanoy’s mother sang couple of lines of “Tune oh rangeele kaisa jadoo kiya” and on this Ravi couldn’t stop smiling where as both Javed and Naved controlled their laugh. It was cute and adorable.

The next participant was little Sanjana Bamrada who is full of talent and she came in as Salman Khan - an actor who is my favorite along with the Boogie Woogie guys Sanjana danced fabulously and her steps and energy were mind blowing. You know people should thank their star that I am not a judge or else all the contestants who dance on Salman numbers, I would declare them as winners. Okay jokes apart, Sanjana not only dances excellently but is adorable talker. Watch her performance and her after performance talk, its totally entertaining.

Nupur Bhatt came in at this point for a spoof and narrated a funny shayari on Naved.

Third participant to carry the show forward was little Kumkum Gujar. This 6 year old came in as Rishi Kapoor and danced so fabulously. I don’t think Rishi Kapoor dances this cutely. Her performance makes you smile continuously and her expressions make you awe in praise. For me it gets difficult to remember something in full and I always wonder how perfectly these 5 and 6 year olds remember entire dance performance and also dances them so well. There is surely a lot elders can learn from these kids. Her after performance was again adorable especially the rift between her and Viren. Another must is her riddle that she asked Javed - it was totally hilarious.

Next participant is someone I really admire - Shivalika Dhait. She came in as Anil Kapoor. She is an excellent dancer there is no doubt about it but as her name was announced, I really was waiting for her after performance humor poetry. But back to her dance, she danced flawlessly and one could feel the beats with her dance. Her going in circles was again superb and made me dizzy. Here comes the informative part where they talked about her town of where it is located. I did not know that before so thanks Boogie Woogie. Also they talked about how the cable company has been broadcasting Boogie Woogie on a big projector so that those who do not have the privilege to see the show from their homes, they can see their little Shivalika adding charm to their town. Now comes the part that I had been waiting anxiously - Shivalika’s poetry. She narrated 3 short poems excellently. I am very soon going to have a collection of her poems for this blog for sure!

Now comes the super talented kid - Viren Raj Baraik. I have a very strong feeling, this kid has all the potential to win the Naache Taare Zameen Par trophy. He danced flawlessly and when he dances, you just do nothing but admire. He danced to the song Yeh mera dil pyar ka diwana and came in as Helen. Except for one step, rest of the steps were awesome. The one dance step that I am talking about, girls will never do. If you see his dance you will notice which step I am talking about. Again the after performance talk was hilarious.

Sanjana Bamrada came in with her hilarious spoof and this time it was Ravi’s turn to take the hit.

The last participant for tonight is the one who is creating waves on Internet. Along with Swasti Nitya, the next popular name on internet is Rashmi Kunder. This girl in two words is “Mind Blowing”. Watch her dance tonight and I have no words that are good enough to write for her. She is absolutely stunning and maybe the winner. We will just have to wait and watch her in future rounds but if this is the way she performs then she has it all! The after performance talk between Rashmi and Javed makes one feel proud. Javed raised a very good point and talked about common language and unified identity for all Indians and I fully agree with Javed. We will talk about this in detail later. But Boogie Woogie inspires me and inspires many millions in becoming a good citizen and I am very proud of them!

Now comes the painful part - the eliminations. Good news is that only one gets eliminated and bad news is the only one unfortunate kid who didn’t get a chance to go forward to next rounds was little Khushbu Kargutkar - just a reminder, she had danced as Charlie Chaplin. She got a gift and had fat tears in her eyes on getting eliminated. In my opinion, I think the toughest job is to judge kids and more tough is to announce the elimination results and I don’t know how they do that but I really do admire them. Next week Naache Taare Zameen Par will continue for the remaining kids and with the theme round.

Have a goodnight folks!

Boogie Woogie’s Naache Taare Zameen Par started their most exciting round from this week. I was very eager to see how the change of gender performances will be for these little kids and yes I was in for a big surprise. I have seen in many reality shows, contestants dressed as opposite gender to perform and many at times it turns out to be funny so I had similar expectations out of this episode too. But I am warning you, its nothing like that. It will be performances that will beat the history of shows with mind blowing performances. In two words - MUST WATCH!!

A clip was shown where the semi finalists paid a surprise visit to Saroj Khan and she taught them or gave them the valuable tips to perform. And the difference was clearly seen with kids. Each of them came with perfection. There is no wonder Saroj Khan is the master of all times. God bless her!

The first contestant she tore the stage apart and she was 8 year old Vaishnavi Patil who got a theme “Govinda” and she dressed in little dhoti and kurta with short hair and danced on song “kya lagti hai hye rabba”. Her steps were fantastic, her expressions and everything that she did was nothing but flawless. She received excellent comments from Javed and both Ravi and Naved were happy with her performance. Her after performance talk was hilarious where she said she doesn’t like Saif Ali Khan because he is going to marry Kareena Kapoor. She wants Kareena to marry Shahid. Kids are so cute She completely stole the show tonight. Her’s was the best performance. Must watch!!

The next contestant that came was Sayalee Tupe. This 6 year old got Sharukh Khan as theme and she danced on Khayike paan banaras waala. I dont know what Sharukh will do when he sees this performance but I sure advice him to appoint little Sayalee as his dance teacher. Her expressions were so much better then Sharukh and yes I am going to say this - She can anytime give a run to Sharukh! Her after performance talk was as adorable as she is. Watch it

Phalguni Bhardwaj was the next semi finalist who came in as Amitabh Bachan and this 6 year old danced on song “Pag ghungroo band meera naachi thi”. With Phalguni’s dance, the sets of Boogie Woogie turned into a big party hall. You could clearly hear audience cheering little Phalguni. Okay but the most interesting part came after her performance where she took on her favorite judge Naved and narrated couple of jokes on him. She came up with some of the poor jokes (PJ’s) in history. But you know what Naved - you look the best the way you are now. We love you dearly

Next participant to come was little Khushboo Kargutkar who came in as Charlie Chaplin. This 8 year old danced cutely on yesteryears golden Kishore number “Cheel cheel chilake” She danced adorably but probably if she had come in as Kishore Kumar it would have been better with the song and her dance steps. But that is only me don’t pay attention. She got good comments from judges.

But the best thing I have to say again - Boogie Woogie is not just an entertaining show or reality show to show case the talent they come across but it is a complete institution. They teach the good stuff, they teach manners, they bring out the best talent, they correct the mistakes in their own way, they teach you the real life lessons, they show and teach respect and they talk the truth. When little Khushboo wrote her opinion that girls should be beautiful on that Javed explained to her using his kind and perfect words why looks are not important and how the person’s personality should matter. These are the things that can never be seen in any other shows especially reality shows. I love Boogie Woogie and I love the judges there. God bless them!

Okay now is the turn of Boogie Woogie’s little star who is doing superhit rounds all over the net - Swasti Nitya. This 5 year old came in as Mehmood and was dressed in lungi banyan with cute little moustache. She couldn’t get any more cuter then this. She danced on song “Hum kaale hai toh kya huya dil waale hai”. A hit number from yesteryear that brought my city to limelight Watch her run on the stage lifting her lungi in Mehmood style, watch her expressions, watch her steps - this 5 year old is can anytime make the celebrity dancers on other reality shows hide their faces in shame. oops did I say that? I thoroughly enjoyed her performance and so far after Vaishnavi Patil, this was the performance that came close to my heart. Listen to her after performance talk - totally adorable. Listen to her Amma, she was really awesome too!

Just when I thought Boogie Woogie can’t get any better then this, the next participant came in tonight and he is another superhit hero out of Boogie Woogie sets - Madhav Wazalwar. He was dressed up as Sushmita Sen and this 7 year old was - Oh MY God!! Watch him!!! He danced on “Shakalaka baby”. He looked a cute little glamorous babe. My salute to Boogie Woogie for bringing out such awesome talent. I am going to try my best to hunt for this video for you. Watch him sit like a girl watch him talk and watch him run towards judges to give them a hug. Hilarious but adorable.

The last participant of the evening was Nupur Bhatt and she came in as Akshay Kumar. This 9 year old danced to Chandni Chowk to China and was dressed in Chinese attire. She had big moustache and gave wonderful expressions. Her steps and dance was good but had a mix of both girls and guys steps. Listen to Javed speak in Chinese. After performance talk was hilarious especially the rift between the girls and the lonely boy. Nupur treated her judges some ladoos and with this the episode today ended with the promise to bring another 6 contestants tomorrow before they go into theme round next week.

Have a wonderful night folks!!
