Daily Update - D:3, January 7th, 2013

In St. Louis College, good guys do finish first! In today's episode we witnessed the thrilling conclusion to the St. Louis vs. Wellham basketball match. Of course, St. Louis was going to win but it was fun watching them stun the heck out of the burly Wellham guys with their dancing and innovative strategy. After Amar is injured, Rey has to step in. He is encouraged by the crowd cheering for him and his friends. Finally we get to see some ReYam action. When Rey and Swayam are together, nothing can stop them from getting what they want. 

As soon as Rey enters, he scores a few 3 point shots for St. Louis. It was certainly exciting! The Principal's reaction to every basket was so endearing! He kept cheering the team till the end. The AVP on the other hand seemed to get more flustered with each basket. I especially love when her cocky smile disappears and is replaced with a worried frown. Finally in the end the boys won and now she has to give them what she promised them - the rehearsal hall. It will be fun to see the boys and girls get back to their dancing masti ways now that the rehearsal halls is theirs again.

Apart from the basketball excitement, Sharon finally made an appearance! She's officially back! She was just in time to see her man make the winning basket and lead St. Louis to victory. Good timing Sharon! She leaves midway during the victory celebrations to check out the auditorium - her temple. From her expressions, its easy to understand why she loves the stage so much. The stage gives her the drive to succeed and work hard. My first impression of Vrushika was that she seemed like a sweet Sharon. She didn't have any dialogues in this episode so I can't really judge her acting. Hopefully in tomorrow's episode we will get to see more of her acting.


Finally, the preview for the forthcoming episodes was super exciting. Rey is finally going to tell Taani how he feels. I'm hoping for some awesome TaaRey fireworks in the future, enough with all the roona dhoona drama shama. SwaRon too have their moment! I believe the Shantanu and Vrushika will totally recreate the SwaRon magic. Shantanu is just too good! I can't wait for Dil to reappear in Dil Dostii Dance...

So without further adieu, here is the snippet of today's episode


PS: Don't forget to watch Amar and Charlie aka CharMar on Nach Baliye 5 every Saturday and Sunday! Keep voting and giving them your support! 

Daily Update - D:3, January 3rd, 2013

Let me take a moment to talk about SwaRon. It finally feels like their rocky relationship has come full circle. Last year around this time, Swayam and Sharon were at Shivam's party. Things went down and both of them broke down. Sharon felt cheap and Swayam felt cheated. I'm so glad that SwaRon got over all the negativity and are finally together. I can't wait to see their love story blossom! On the other hand Rey was falling hard for Kriya. I'm glad that Rey too finally has gotten over his heartbreak and found love with Taani.


All right folks, so just like all of you, I too tuned in to watch Sharon make an appearance. Instead, we saw Sharon in the preview for the forthcoming episodes. Oh well, as I mentioned earlier, I should have known that Palki would pull something like this! She just loves having us at the edge of our seats! Now I can't wait for next week, which means that she succeeded.

Anyway, moving on with the synopsis. The girls finally set up the music station for the game. As soon as the music starts playing, the boys have a renewed energy. The beats give them strength and renew their passion. What happens next is both very entertaining and hilarious! They boys use their dancing skill to overpower and stun the Wellham team. The Wellham boys don't know how to act or what to do when the boys start dancing. It's hilarious to watch their confused faces. Finally the St. Louis boys get an upper hand. They start scoring basket after basket. Rey and the Prinipal are excited to see the boys finally scoring. The AVP on the other hand is shocked to see their performance. All is well until one of the Wellham boys throws the basketball at Amar. With Amar down, Rey has to step in and lead the boys to victory. Rey has to keep his focus and make sure that the boys' effort does not go to waste. With ReYam finally working together, God help the Wellham boys!


I have a feeling next week is going to be super exciting! Sharon will finally be in an episode. Can't wait to see the SwaRon magic back on screen again. Also the most awaited TaaRey moment will also probably happen next week - Rey finally tells Taani that he loves her! Fireworks! I just hope that TaaRey moment is not a dream. 

Without further adieu, here is the snippet of today's episode... 


Daily Update - D:3, January 2nd, 2013

This TaaRey drama had me wondering, what happened last year? Take a peak...


Rey is still hurt by his untimely break up with Kriya. It's completely understandable why he feels that way but I fell like now he has starting developing feelings for Taani and is finally on the verge of moving on. Just when things start to get back to normal, there is a new TaaRey fight and Rey and Taani are back to square one. Currently, Rey is not able to support his friends by playing because he is too distraught over Taani. I like that the previous episodes shed some insight into why he is the way he is. It gives his character depth. He's not just that superficial cool dude. He does have a sensitive side and he does get hurt. Hopefully, the TaaRey track makes some progress in the future. 

So the basketball match has finally started. The Wellham team is confident that they will cream the St. Louis boys, after all they are the champions. The St. Louis boys are positive that they will put up a good fight and hope that all their hard work pays off. Meanwhile, Rey decided to step out of the match because he is too busy thinking about Taani to focus on the match. The boys are shocked when he steps down considering he is the reason why they have this match happening in the first place. Rey tells the boys that he will cause them more harm than good and asks Swayam to manage the boys and support them. I have to say, I love the way the creators are working around Amar's aka Rey's schedule. In this episode, he is present throughout unlike the previous few episodes. 

The match is on the way and the Wellham team is beating the St. Louis team by more than 20 points! By the end of the first half, everything looks like it is going down hill. The boys wonder what happened to the girls. The girls were responsible for the music. It turns out that Rinni being Rinni, lost the CD. Now Simmi has to DJ for the second half of the match. Hopefully, the girls are able to set up the music on time to save the boys. Also, tomorrow is the day Sharon finally makes an appearance! Can't wait for that Dhamaka!


So here's a peak at today's episode... 


Daily Update - D:3, January 1st, 2013

Happy New Year folks! Hope the new year brings you loads of happiness, prosperity and success! Hope this new year is full of surprises and transformation. Speaking of surprises, my prediction is coming true! Looks like Sharon aka Vrushika will be making an appearance on January 3rd, Thursday! Don't believe me? Watch the video below...


Like all of you out there, I can't wait for Sharon to finally make an appearance and kick-start the SwaRon romance! Wishing the D:3 team all the best and hope that that they continue to keep rocking!

So today's episode saw the beginning of the basketball match between Wellham and St. Louis. The boys worked hard and now its time to see if their hard work pays off. The Principal and AVP are getting ready for the match too. The Principal finally questions why this match is taking place considering St. Louis does not have a basketball team. He also questions the AVP why she decided to attach such a large prize to the game - Rs. 50,000 all while knowing that St. Louis does not stand a chance against the Wellham basketball team. She, as usual, brushes away his questions and tells him that discussing such things at this stage is pointless. Okay, this AVP character is starting to get on my nerves! I get that she wants the students to become all-rounders but I don't like her methods. She is practically forcing the students to walk on the path she has set out for them. Also in the episode after the flash mob, the Pricipal clearly tells her that the Trustees have decided to remove the 'Dance Ban'. Then why is taking this long for that to get into effect? I have a feeling Sharon will set things right and show the AVP her place!

As I hinted in my previous posts, Rey aka Amar is seriously MIA. I love the way the creators are using the tension between Taani and Rey as an excuse to keep him out of the episode. I have a feeling this tension will continue as long as Amar is doing Nach Baliye. I hope that even though he can't spend a lot of time on D:3, I hope there is some sort of resolution to this TaaRey drama. I want to see them as a happy couple already. Enough with all this moping and crying and drama-shama. BTW, here is the video of Amar and Charlie aka CharMar's first performance on Nach Baliye - start watching at 2:00 for CharMar...


So without further adieu, here's the snippet of today's episode...


Daily Update - D:3, December 27th, 2012

Now that we all know who is going to be playing Sharon, Cinevistaas has decided to let all of us know more about the girl playing Sharon aka Vrushika. We get to know about all the hard work that goes behind all the glitz and glam. As per the video, Sharon should be making an appearance some time next week. I'm betting it is going to be on Thursday, Januray 3rd, as we all know how Palki likes to keep fans waiting. Once again, I wish Vrushika all the best and hope that she is able to recreate the SwaRon magic and chemistry.


Enough about the new Sharon. Let's get to the update of today's episode. As you all know, Amar is busy with Nach Baliye. Hence from now on we will not be seeing him on screen all the time. For example in today's episode we see Rey and Taani reflecting on their latest misunderstanding/argument. We see Rey a total of twice in the entire episode. I guess we'll have to get used to that for the time being. Although I am glad that Rey finally realized that Taani does mean something to him and I hope that he is able to make things right between them.

On the other hand, the boys are upset that their 'girlfriends' are impressed by the Welham boys. Their Facebook statuses are all about the Welham boys and their Facebook walls are full of their pictures. Seeing this Swayam gets a brilliant idea. He comes up with a plan to study the Welham boys so that they know what they are up against. The boys as usual are their goofy selves and they totally make up for the lack of Rey! Along with the boys I have to mention the girls - Neha, Rinni, Simmi and Ashi are also hilarious. After watching the Welham boys do their thing, the boys realize that they have a rough ride ahead of them. From the pace of the story, I say most of next week is going to be about the basketball match. I'm hoping for an intense fight to the end. Here's wishing the boys all the best!

Here is a snippet of today's episode...


Daily Update - D:3, December 26th, 2012

In yesterday's post I linked a video of the D:3 cast interview by the folk over at India Forums. Now for the official Sharon revelation by the folks over at Channel V. So once again, I wish Vrushika all the best and I hope she is able to create awesome chemistry with Shantanu.


Just in case all of you were wondering, the D:3 boys are working hard on their basketball skills. As all of you know, they are primarily dancers so expecting them to know how to play basketball is a bit much. Yes as I mentioned earlier, they did play basketball in the show but it wasn't on a professional level. So now the boys are practicing for hours just so they can look good. Here are the boys talking about their crazy schedules and practices and rehearsals. These boys sure do work hard. And in case you're wondering where Rey is, let me remind you, Rey will be MIA since he is currently participating in Nach Baliye with his girlfriend Charlie.


Moving on with the update of today's episode. The boys finally get their revenge on the Welham boys for their dirty pranks. It was hilarious! It was a good break from all the tension and drama that has been a staple in the show currently. On the other hand, Rey and Taani are back to square one. Every time I hope they will sort things out and clear the air, things become more complicated. Whenever Taani tries to talk to Rey, he treats her so rudely. I dont understand why he doesn't just tell her how he feels so she can tell him how she feels! Is it that hard? I have a feeling he creators are saving the TaaRey romance for next year. So far we've all been seeing Swayam sending texts and calling Sharon. I can't wait till Sharon finally appears on the show and the SwaRon story is back on track. I have a feeling Sharon will make an appearance towards the end of this whole basketball track that is going on, which will be next year considering how slow things are going.

So here is a snippet of today's episode...



Daily Update: D:3, December 25th, 2012

First off, Merry Christmas to all you fellow D:3 watchers! Can't believe that Christmas is already here! time truly flies! So let's see what happened last year during the Christmas Season...


Shakti and Amar looked so cute as they decorated that tiny little Christmas tree! This year for Christmas, D:3 is giving us a huge Christmas present - The New Sharon aka Vrushika Mehta. So it's not Urvashi after all. Here's wishing her the best of luck. She has huge shoes to fill and I sincerely hope that she is able to shine just like Sneha was able to before her. Can't wait to see her in action with Shantanu!


Apart from finally revealing the identity of the new Sharon, the D:3 cast also decorated a Christmas tree this year as well. They also wish all their views and fans a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!


Moving on, let's get to the daily update. The Welham boys make a splash. The girls are impressed with them. The students of St. Louis are awed by their attitude. In short, the boys have their work cut out for them. The boys finally make their way to the St. Louis dorm aka Sanjevani for all you Dill Mill Gayye fans. Sidenote - I love how Cinevistaas recycles their sets! 

Anyway, if there was any doubt that the Welham boys were jerks, todays episode gave us proof of jerkiness. First, Veer, their captain, almost punches Swayam because he couldn't take a joke and then he behaves like a perv with Taani. What a pervy jerk. I can't wait for Rey beat his pervy butt. The Welham boys also pull a dirty prank on the St. Louis boys. Really? These guys are supposed to be the best collegiate basketball team in the region and they have to resort to all this nastiness and pranks? Either these guys win because they play dirty or they scare the opposing team with their 'tactics.' Either way, the St. Louis boys will not go down without a fight. I can't wait to see all the masti that ensues.

Finally Taani and Rey are going to have a heart-to-heart, or so I think. Taani finally confronts Rey about his attitude towards her. Good going Taani! Rey as usual is a mean to her and tells her that she doesn't mean anything to him.

So without further adieu here is a snippet of today's episode...

 

Daily Update - D:3, 24th December 2012

It's Christmas Eve folks! Hope all of you have an amazing Christmas and an exciting New Year! So for all you loyal Dil Dostii Dance fans, I have a present...


As I predicted, Sharon is finally going to be making an appearance sometime soon. I say we'll all get to see the new Sharon either by the end of this week or the start of the next week. I know for certain that Sharon will make an entrance after this whole basketball track boils over. For all of you wondering, the speculation is that Urvashi Gandhi, Dance India Dance Season 3 alum, will be the new Sharon. Here's a video of Urvashi in action. She's absolutely beautiful and amazingly graceful but I can't really picture her as Sharon.


As I mentioned earlier, it is all speculation. We'll all find out once Sharon actually makes an appearance on the show. Till then we'll just have to wait and watch...

Moving on, let's talk about today's episode. We're back to square one with Rey and Taani. As usual Rey is being his jerky self to Taani. I like how he constantly misunderstands her and then turns around and accuses her of not understanding him! It works both ways Rey. You don't take an effort to understand Taani, and in turn poor Taani has to bear all of your bad behavior. So the Welham's team finally arrives at St. Louis. As a loyal D:3 viewer, you know that whenever an other college team is visiting, they always turn out to be jerks. That holds true with the Welham boys as well. They are cocky meanies. Can't wait for the St. Louis boys to teach them a lesson!

Poor Taani has to juggle taking care of the visiting team and Rey's ego trips. Wonder when she's going to have her breakdown! Swayam on the other hand also has a lot on his plate. This brother-sister duo sure do work hard. 

So here's a snippet of today's episode... 



Daily Update - D:3, December 20th, 2012


The boys finally get more info about the impending basketball game. The AVP tells them that the Welham team will be staying the college dorms a couple days before the game. She also tells them they too will have to stay in the dorms with the Welham team. The boys are surprised by this but agree to it nonetheless. They realize that this game is not going to be 'friendly' match after all.

The boys vow to be good hosts to the Welham team. They practice long and hard under Swayam's guidance. After the practice session, they feel prepared to face the Welham team. Swayam and Rey as usual have their bromantic moments! They are just too adorable together. I love the way they understand each other and complement each other. Their friendship has blossomed over the course of the show.

I have to come up with a nickname for Swayam and Aashi - SwaAshi? AaYam? For those of you who watched Dance India Dance, you are already familiar with Sneha Gupta. I was pleasantly surprised to see her as a D:3 cast member but then again she does make up for Vinti's absence. I've come to like all the Swayam-Aashi moments. For once there is a girl who is after Swayam rather than the other way around. As for TaaRey, Rey is back to being the angry young man and Taani just bows her head an goes with it. I don't see anything happening there any time soon.

So here is the snippet of today's episode...
