Another dance reality show that has our complete attention. Dance Deewane that has Bollywood diva, Madhuri Dixit, filmmaker Shashank Khaitan and choreographer Tushar Kalia as judges is one entertaining show. The first episode hit us with major nostalgia when we saw Madhuri dancing to Mere Pyaar Ka Ras Zara Chakna from Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maar Daala from Devdas. She performed with the contestants but it brought back so many memories. But that's not the only highlight of the show. The performances are breathtaking and so good, some of them will surprise you. 7-year-old Shourya Jain surprised the judges when she performed to Maar Daala. The little munchkin also said that she has been teaching the art to a couple of students for over a year.
Madhuri dancing to the Govinda - Amitabh Bachchan song with another contestant, Neeraj, took us back to the 90s literally. To add to the 90s fever, she pulled off a Ram Lakhan with Anil Kapoor. The team of Race 3 also made an appearance on the show to promote the movie. Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez dancing to Heeriye was another highlight of the episode. We are so glad that Madhuri is one of the judges on the show.
She is the perfect person to judge a dance reality show. Arjun Bijlani is the host and is a damn good one, I tell you. The show is currently airing bits from the audition so there is not a lot of flirting with the hosts and fillers of sort. Of course, participants want to shake a leg with the actress and we don't blame them for making the wish. But it's good to see that the makers are not wasting a lot of time and are sticking to performances, along with a back story of the contestants.
Yay!
- Performances are mind-blowing
- Less fillers that include flirting with the female judge
- There are participants across age groups
- The first episode impressed us because of all the 90s feel to it
Nay!
- Okay some fillers need to be avoided, like the one where participants keep talking and talking
- Since the show is still in the audition phase, there is not a lot judging to do for the judges
Final thoughts!
Dance Deewane is a must-watch not just because of Madhuri but also because of the performances. And you won't get bored at all, I can assure you that. Tell us what you felt of the episode in the comments below and stay tuned with us for more.
