They also award Swayam the best choreography certificate. Mr. Shikhawat watches with pride as the St Louis team win the prestigious competition. The entire team celebrates their victory as Rey watches Taani with sadness. Taani leaves the stage side when Rey isn't looking her way. She makes her way to the green room and cries her heart out. Meanwhile, the team celebrate their victory and hail Rey as their hero. Finally the rest of the team make their way to the green room and take pictures with the NDC trophy. They all express their happiness and their joy. Simmi suggests that the team celebrate their win with a party. Taani tries to leave but Sharon insists that she celebrate with the group.
Amar feels sad as he wasn't able to perform on stage with the team. Sharon comes up with a plan to help Amar feel better. She convinces the entire group to go back on stage as all the officials have left the venue. She wants Amar to be able to experience performing on stage. Rey, Swayam and Taani all object but Sharon tells them that they have to do it for Amar. The group finally make their way to stage after managing to hide from guards. They applaud Amar and make him feel special. Taani and Rey watch on as Amar enjoys his moment. Swayam gestures to Sharon to make Rey say a few words. When Rey hesitates, Swayam tells him to speak from his heart. Rey tells everyone that after all that he has been through he has come to the conclusion that love only leads to pain. Everyone is stunned by Rey's confession. Taani listens to Rey in tears.
From the preview, it looks like Sharon will trick Rey and Taani into a room and lock them in. She hopes that being locked in a room together, they will get a chance to talk and sort out their differences. Taani mentions that she's leaving St Louis. How will the team convince her to stay? Meanwhile, the D3 team dance on stage and celebrate their victory. It also looks like SwaRon will have some romance coming up too. Can't wait!
St. Louis and Mount Carmela are tied for first place. The announcer tells both teams that the judges will decide who is in first place by way of a face-off. Both teams are asked to face-off in street style and are given a couple moments to strategize. Swayam and the rest of the gang starts deciding their strategy. Nilesh wonders where Rey is while Aashi tells the group that they don't have the luxury to wait for him. Sharon agrees with her and tells the others to focus on the face-off at hand. Taani watches as Swayam discusses the order of performances. She decides to get Rey. Mr. Shikhawat comes backstage and talks to the St Louis team. He tells them to give their best as this face-off will decide who the winner is. She finds Rey in the same store room. As soon as she comes in the room, Rey asks her to leave. Taani stays and points out how selfish he is being at the moment. She tells him about the face-off. She begs him to perform as she doesn't want the team to suffer because of their relationship. Finally Rey agrees to perform.
In the meanwhile, the face-off is underway. Mount Carmela try their best but St Louis steals the cake. Finally Rey appears. The team is glad to see him on stage with them. Rey and Swayam perform and completely burn the stage with their awesomeness. Mount Carmela try to redeem themselves but Rey gives an awesome solo performance that seals their fate. The crowd goes gaga for St Louis. Finally the judges announce that St Louis has won NDC 2013. The St Louis team become ecstatic and celebrate their hard fought victory. Our Mystery Man watches as St Louis wins. He decides that Rey is an amazing dancer. Wonder what new challenges and twists this mystery man will bring with him. Rey on the other hand, does not feel the joy of victory. He is sad over the status of his relationship. Will Rey and Taani ever reunite? What's in store for them? We'll just have to wait and watch...
Looks like the mystery man is going to be a talent manager with an ulterior motive. Check out this article for more info...
Rey becomes excited because of Taani and rushes to the stage. The D3 team wonder if Rey is going to make it on time but he gets there. The team wish each other the best and head to the stage. They give a rocking performance. After watching all the other performances, I would have to say that their performance was the most stylish. It had an awesome jazzy feel to it. I especially loved the whole atmosphere with the casino setting. Shantanu and Vrushika totally stole the show in this performance. Normally, I feel like Amar always gets the spotlight but this time, Shantanu and Vrushika were the main focus and they did not disappoint. Everyone performed well. Hats off to Shantanu and Macedon for choreographing the routine and making it truly different. Check out what the team had to say about their performance...
After the performance, the D3 team run off the stage in excitement. They are happy they had a good time and gave an awesome performance. Rey spots Taani and tries to make his way towards her. Taani watches as Rey tries to rush towards her. Mr. Shikhawat joins the team backstage. He tries to talk to Taani about Rey but Taani insists that there is nothing between them anymore. She then tells Tauji that she needs to leave for some work and rushes off. Meanwhile, a mystery man watches Rey from a distance. Wonder what that is going to lead to. Mr. Shikhawat congratulates Swayam and the rest of the team. Sharon is glad to see that he enjoyed the performance. Mr. Shikhawat thanks Sharon for making him realize how talented Swayam is. He puts his hand on her head and wishes her the best. Sharon gets excited and pulls Swayam away from the rest of the gang. She hugs him and kisses him in her excitement. Swayam's reaction to the kiss was hilarious! He didn't know what to say or do!
Rey finally breaks free from the rest of the gang and goes to the green room searching for Taani. He looks for her but ends up finding a note. Taani writes that although she still loves him, they can never be together. She told him the lie just so that he would perform his best and come through for the team. Rey gets angry and hurt by Taani's gesture. Taani watches Rey's outburst in silence from the corner of the room. After a while the rest of the gang make their way to the green room. As soon as Rey hears them approaching, he hurriedly leaves the room to brood alone. Swayam wonders why he's rushing out of the room but before he can do anything, the others direct his attention to the TV in the room. The announcer mentions that the judges are in a fix and can't seem to decide who the winners will be. The gang wonders what this means. They wonder if their performance made the cut. Taani joins the gang and reassures them that she hasn't heard anything yet.
Rey finds his way to the store room. There he breaks down and wonders why Taani lied to him. He feels betrayed. I wonder why he didn't think of that when he orchestrated the whole break up plan with Taani. He should have just talked to her rather that fake a break up. He totally proves the old adage - You don't know what you've lost, until it's gone. While Rey falls apart, the rest of the team wait and wonder what will happen next. The announcer asks all of the teams to come to the stage within five minutes. Sharon notices that Rey isn't with them. She also notices Taani's expression and figures out that something is amiss. She mentions it to Swayam but he brushes it aside. As the team makes their way to the stage, Swayam assures them that Rey will hear the announcement and join them on stage. Taani hopes that Rey can perform.
Once on stage, the announcer mentions that the judges were not able to decide which team should win so it is a tie for first place. It is revealed that Mount Carmela College and St Louis College are tied for first place. I believe they are going to have a face-off between the two teams and the winner of the face-off will be the winner of NDC. Will St. Louis win or lose? Will Rey perform with the team? What's next for Rey and the gang? Who was that mystery man watching Rey?
The D3 team is happy to see that Mr. Shikhawat supports Swayam. Rey, Taani and Sharon are all happy to see that he finally appreciates his son's dancing talent. Rey apologizes for being rude to Mr. Shikhawat. Mr. Shikhawat tells Rey that he doesn't have to apologize. He tells Rey that he is the reason that he could finally understand his son and come to accept him. He also tells Rey that he was the one who changed his perception of what dancers are like. Swayam listens as his father explains how he came to appreciate dance as an art. The rest of the team get ready for their performance. Sharon asks Taani to help her so that Swayam gets to spend some time with his dad. Mr Shikhawat apologizes to Swayam for hurting him and underestimating his talent. He wishes Swayam the best for his performance.
The team members get ready for the performance. Meanwhile, Rey looks dejected. Sharon notices Rey's depression and tries to talk to him. Rey tells Sharon that if he performs, the team will lose. He asks Sharon not to make him perform in his disturbed state of mind. Sharon gets worried by Rey's behavior. Taani overhears their conversation and vows to do something about it. Sharon tells Swayam about Rey's odd behavior. She tells him that he is not going to be able to perform his best. Swayam tries calling Rey but he doesn't answer his phone. He finally calls Taani to ask her to delay their performance so that they can rework the choreography. Taani assures Swayam that he will not have to change the routine because of Rey. She tells Swayam that she will talk to Rey and set things right.
Taani finds Rey in the green room. She puts on a cheery demeanor and talks to Rey. She tells Rey that everyone is waiting for him. He wonders why she is suddenly so cherry. Taani tells him that she came to answer his question. She tells Rey that she supports him and that she loves him. Rey becomes excited when he hears that Taani loves him. He hugs Taani but Taani doesn't hug him back. Was I right or was I right?! Taani tells Rey that she loves him just so that he does his best at the NDC finals. She didn't want the entire team to suffer because of Rey's down morale. Swayam calls Rey right before they have to leave and asks him to join the team. Rey assures him that he will give his best and perform his best. Swayam wonders why Rey suddenly has a change of heart. Rey tells Taani that they have a date after the performance and leaves the room excitedly. Taani on the other hand admits that she still loves Rey but acknowledges that they can never be together again.
How will Rey react when he finds out about Taani's true intentions? What will happen next for TaaRey?
Sharon and Taani arrive at the venue. Everyone is happy to see Taani joining them at the finals. Taani notices Rey's behavior. Sharon and Swayam too notice Rey's mood. Sharon asks Rey if he is okay. Rey say he's fine and leaves the room. Swayam tells Sharon that he wants to talk to her but she ignores him. Swayam wonders why she is ignoring him. After a while, he tells her that he wants to talk to her right away. Sharon tells him that they can talk at another place. Swayam leaves the room in frustration and Sharon follows him making sure that no one notices that they are leaving. Swayam and Sharon go to the backstage area. Swayam asks Sharon why she is suddenly ignoring him. He asks her if he did anything wrong or upset her in any way.
Sharon hugs Swayam and apologizes. Swayam wonders what she is apologizing for. Sharon tells him that she tries her best to get his dad to come to the finals and watch his performance but he didn't come. Swayam asks her why she talked to his dad. He tells her that he was okay with his dad not coming and she didn't have to fight with him. Sharon feels bad and gets emotional. She tells him that she really wanted his dad to support him. Swayam thanks her for trying to talk to his dad and thinking about him. SwaRon are so cute! I've got to say that ever since Vrushika came along, Sharon is completely different. She is become more considerate and gentle. She's not the harsh, rude Sharon that I had become accustomed to.
Taani goes to talk to Rey privately. She tells Rey that entire team is waiting for him. He also tells him that the team really needs their best dancer to give his all. Rey tells Taani that he needs her support. He once again asks Taani if she has any feelings for him. Taani gets overwhelmed and runs away. Meanwhile, the team notice that the anchor of the program is going into the green rooms to interview the teams. They try to quickly clean up the room but the anchor appears at their green room first! The entire audience get a glimpse of the D3 team scrambling to clean up. The anchor get a hold of Bharat and asks him what he thought of their competitor's performance. Bharat misunderstands the anchor and accuses him of using expletives! A dejected Rey joins the team in the green room. The anchor asks him for his thoughts but Rey doesn't say anything.
Just then, Mr. Shikhawat comes in. The entire team is shocked to see him. Sharon and Swayam see him on the monitor and rush to the green room. The anchor tells him that no parents are allowed. One of the organizers tells the anchor that he is Mr. Shikhawat and the anchor backs off. The anchor questions him instead. He asks Mr. Shikhawat what he is doing in the green room. Mr. Shikhawat tells him that he came to support his son and his friends. Rey is happy to hear that Mr. Shikhawat is finally supporting Swayam. Taani comes in and sees Mr. Shikhawat there. She is surprised but happy to see that he finally came to watch Swayam's performance. Finally Swayam and Sharon come in. Swayam is shocked to see his father there. He can't believe his ears when he tells him that he came to support him. Sharon watches on with a smile on her face! She did it! She got Mr. Shikhawat to finally appreciate his son!
What will happen next? Now that Mr. Shikhawat supports Rey and Swayam, what's next for TaaRey? From the previews, it seems as if Taani will confess her love for Rey at the eleventh hour. Does she really mean it or did she tell Rey that she loves him just so he gives his best? We'll have to wait and watch...
As it turns out, Rey just imagined the slap. Mr. Shikhawat sternly asks Rey to leave and Rey obliges. Meanwhile, Sharon goes over to Swayam's place and tries to convince Taani to joint the team for the NDC finals. Taani refuses stating that Rey will lose focus if she comes to the venue. Sharon insists that the team would really like to have their GS with them at the finals, especially after everything that Taani did to get there. Taani tries to make Sharon understand that she doesn't want to cause any problems with Rey. Mr. Shikhawat goes to check on Taani and overhears Sharon talking to Taani. He asks her why she hid the fact that Rey is a dancer. Taani tells him that she didn't want him to think negatively of Rey just like he does of Swayam. She also apologizes and tells him that it doesn't matter if he knows the truth because there is nothing between her and Rey. Sharon steps in and tells Taani that if she doesn't join her, then the St Louis team will have to perform without her. Taani finally agrees to go to the NDC finals.
When Taani leaves to get dressed, Mr. Shikhawat confronts Sharon. He calls her a bully and labels the entire generation as selfish. Sharon asks him that if she asked him politely to support his son what he would say. He tells her that he would politely decline. Sharon tries to reason with him but he doesn't listen. She tries to make him realize how unfairly he is treating Taani and Swayam. He supports Taani but strongly is against Swayam. Mr. Shikhawat doesn't say anything and pretends to ignore Sharon. Sharon also asks him if he dislikes Rey because he found out the truth about him. Mr. Shikhawat tells her that he likes Rey more because he came to him and told him the truth. Taani appears and stands by as Sharon continues to try to get Mr. Shikhawat to come to the venue. Finally Taani urges Sharon to leave. The girls leave for the venue while Mr. Shikhawat thinks about everything that Sharon said to him.
Sharon calls Swayam to tell him that Taani is joining them. Swayam tells her about Amar's injury. He also tells her that he called Aashi. I'm not sure but I noticed Sharon got a bit jealous when Swayam mentioned that Aashi is a strong dancer! I would love to see a full on dance battle between the girls to prove their affection for Swayam! That would be epic! Moving on, Rey reaches the venue. The boys spot him and Swayam notices that his morale is down. He makes him realize that the team needs him to be at his best. Rey listens to Swayam but is still lost and broken. Sharon notices how miserable Taani looks as they travel to the venue. Taani tells Sharon that she's glad that Tauji finally knows the truth about Rey. She hopes that now that he knows that Rey is dancer, he will start accepting Swayam as well. How will Rey react when he sees Taani? Will he be able to perform?
Before I say anything else, how awesome was it watching Dil Dostii Dance for an hour! I loved it! I can't wait till the next Mega Monday for another hour long episode of D3!
Taani is upset after all the events that unfolded at the party. The VP was upset with the entire dance team for what happened and yelled at Taani and the entire team. Rey tried to apologize to Taani but Taani was too upset to even acknowledge his apology. Taani wonders how things became so bad. She resolves to move forward with her life and take control of her future. She looks into a university and decides to apply there for higher education. Rey calls Taani but she ignores his calls. Finally when she realizes that he won't stop calling her until she talks to him, Taani answers. Rey begs her to talk to him but she refuses. She notices that her bedroom window opened up and goes to close it. She sees Rey standing downstairs drenched in the rain but doesn't say anything. After a while she goes to the window and sees them still standing there. She goes downstairs and asks him to come inside.
She gives Rey a towel but when he doesn't do anything, she goes ahead and starts wiping his hair. Rey takes a hold of her hand and once again confesses his love to her. Taani asks Rey that if loves her so much then why did he break up with her. Rey tells her that he wanted her to be a strong person and wanted her to have dreams for herself. Taani replies that she did have a dream for herself - being Rey's wife, but that wasn't good enough for him. She thanks Rey for thinking about her and her future. She tells him about her future plans and about her application for MBA. Rey is happy to hear about her plans but tries to convince her that they can still be together. Taani tells Rey that she has chosen her career over him. Rey is heartbroken by Taani's decision. Before leaving, he once again tells her that he loves her.
Meanwhile, at St Louis, the boys goof around about what happened at the party. They make fun of Vicki for falling ill because of the drugs. The girls get upset at the boys because of their carefree attitude. Sharon shows the boys a video of Rey and Taani from the party. They boys are shocked to see what Rey said. Swayam gets upset. He decides to be with Taani to support her but Sharon stops him. She tells him that Rey and Taani should sort out their problems by themselves. Swayam agrees. Rey walks out completely heartbroken. Whenever Rey is heartbroken, he tends to dance. This time instead of dancing with himself, he dances with his friends or so he thinks. He feels completely alone. On a side note, I really liked the D3 version of Bezubaan! They used the whole rain element too but it was different compared the ABCD.
The dance team focus on the NDC finals. They rehearse constantly and try to work hard. They really want to win NDC and bring the trophy home, especially after getting their second chance. Although Rey participates in the rehearsals, he seems very demoralized and the others sense it. They wonder if Rey will be able to perform during the finals. Swayam reassures the team members that even though Rey seems out of it, he will come through for them and perform at the finals. Sharon notices Swayam's concern for Rey and reassures him that Rey will come through. Taani too notices that Rey loses focus whenever she comes to rehearsals. Swayam hopes for the best as the NDC finals approach.
Finally, it's the day. The NDC finals. The teams make their way to the venue. There is a lot of hoopla and the crowds cheer for their favorite teams. The St Louis team make their way to the venue. As the team are led in and taken to their green room, Sharon gets a phone call and Rey trails behind. Taani calls Sharon to tell her that she won't be coming to the finals. Sharon tries to convince her to come but to no avail. Rey overhears the conversation and figures out that Taani doesn't want to come to the finals. He immediately heads out to get Taani. Sharon tells Swayam that Taani doesn't want to come to the venue. She also tells Swayam that she will try to get Taani to come. Sharon talks to Taani and tries to convince her to come but Taani tells her that she doesn't want Rey to lose focus because of her presence. At the venue, Amar aggravates his injured foot. The team members get concerned as Aashi, Vicki and Amar are not dancing while Sharon and Rey are missing.
Meanwhile, Rey too makes his way towards Taani's place. He runs into Mr. Shikhawat in the hallway. Mr. Shikhawat asks Rey what he's doing there? Rey tells him that he came to get Taani. Mr. Shikhawat informs him that Sharon came to get Taani and is talking to her. Mr. Skikhawat suggests that they go out lunch but Rey refuses telling him that he needs to get to the venue as soon as possible. When Mr. Shikhawat asks him why he needs to be at the venue, Rey tells him that truth about he being a member of the dance team. Mr Shikhawat gets upset and asks him why he hid the fact that he is dancer. Rey tells him that he hid it because Taani insisted that he hide it. He also tells Mr. Shikhawat that he loves Taani. Mr. Shikhawat gets more upset and asks Rey to leave but when Rey refuses to leave, he slaps him. Poor Rey! First Kriya and now Mr. Shikhawat! What's next for Rey and Taani? Will Rey be able to perform at the NDC finals? Will Taani make it to the NDC finals? How will the St Louis team fare?
