Daily Update: D3, April 22nd & 23rd, 2013

Hello folks! I'm back! My vacation was awesome but I got sick when I got back home, which is why I didn't blog for last week. I'm planning a huge catch-up post for all the episodes that I wasn't able to blog about! Let's hope that one goes well...

Swayam was upset with his father's reaction. He didn't expect his father to completely disregard him when he came to visit St. Louis. He goes to the roof to work out and clear his mind. Sharon notices that Swayam was upset and decides to do something to divert his mind. She hopes that dancing with her will help him relax. Even though Swayam protests, she forces him to dance with her. During the routine, SwaRon come close and melt into each other! It was a really romantic SwaRon performance and I've got to say Shantanu and Vrushika did total justice to it even though they were injured and tired! SwaRon share a close moment. Swayam realizes what's happening and steps away. This bothers Sharon but later she wonders why she's being so sensitive.

Check out Vrushika and Shantanu talk about the performance and the preparation that went into "Maula Mere Maula". Poor Shantanu had hurt his neck but still went on with the performance. I'm sure all of you loved the performance and noticed that it had plenty of difficult lifts. Hats off to their dedication! On a lighter note, it was hilarious to hear that Shantanu and Vrushika laughed their head off when they first started rehearsing for their performance.



On the other hand, TaaRey decide to move past their differences. Taani was upset with Rey because he talked about 'their' problem with the 'public'. Rey gets upset at Taani for not understanding his difficulty. Rey finally tells Taani that he doesn't want to fight anymore. He just wants the support of his girlfriend during his difficult time. Both of them are glad to be able to get over their 'fight'. They start talking about their future plans. Taani tells Rey that she doesn't have any interest is pursuing a career for herself. She tells Rey that her only dream is to be his wife and she is satisfied with that. Rey is shocked to hear that Taani has no future plans for herself other than being his wife. He plans to talk to Swayam about his worry.  

Swayam goes to college early. He's still upset about what his father did. He decides to jog before rehearsals. Sharon surprises him at college. They both jog together and Sharon gages if he is still upset. Swayam tells her that he can rollerblade. Sharon challenges him and he shows off some of his moves. Sharon drifts off into dream land and imagines Swayam coming close to her. She finally snaps out of it when Swayam calls her. She wonders why she is having such thoughts. I've got to say, it was nice seeing Sharon imagining Swayam coming close to her rather than the other way around! I'm tired of watching only Swayam's fantasies regarding Sharon when I'm sure even Sharon has had her share of fantasies about Swayam!

They finally head towards the rehearsal hall and find Rey there. Swayam notices that everyone is stressed. He and Sharon stop the rehearsals and tell the group that they haven't been focusing on having fun. They suggest that they have a freak out dance so that everyone can have some fun. Everyone participates except for Rey. Rey walks out and Swayam follow him. Swayam asks him what's on his mind. Rey wonders if he should talk about Taani's lack of ambition and decides against it. He lies to Swayam and tells him that he's upset about having to hide his identity from Mr. Shikhawat, Swayam's dad and Taani's tauji. Swayam tells him that he shouldn't be upset. Just then Rey's phone rings and it's Mr. Shikhawat calling. Rey tells Swayam that his dad invited him for lunch. Swayam gets hurt but hides his feelings. Rey tells him that he has no intention of meeting Mr. Shikhawat. I don't understand why Swayam's dad just won't leave Rey alone! It's like he's obsessed! Poor Rey!

Later, during class, Sharon texts Swayam and asks him about Rey's whereabouts since he wasn't in class. Swayam tells her that Rey was upset and maybe skipped class because he wanted to clear his head. Immediately after Sharon, Aashi texts Swayam asking him about Taani's whereabouts. Swayam lets her know that Taani has a meeting with the VP. Sharon watches Swayam's interaction with Aashi and gets a bit jealous. During class Rinni gets texts from her friend. After class, Rinni tells everyone that her friend asked her if their group could perform at her wedding.

We have this amazing performance to Dholi Taro to look forward too!



Check out what the D3 cast had to say about their experience choreographing and performing the energetic number at the Gujrati Event...

Daily Update: D3, February 19th, 2013

After the V Wala Love Valentine Special we are back to regular episodes. In the last episode, the D3 gang was getting ready to put on their special group performance. Let's take it from there...

The gang is excited to finally perform as a group at Indiafest. They get on stage and literally set it on fire! I loved that it wasn't a same old hip hop routine rather this time it was more of a contemporary freestyle routine. Let me start with the song selection. I absolutely loved it! All of the songs were mellow and slow but the dancing wasn't slow per se. The choreography was phenomenal. I always wonder how D3 is going to top their own choreography but they totally did. I loved that each dancer got to showcase their individual style. It was an amazing mix of b-boying, tutting, hip hop, popping and locking, contemporary, belly dancing and Bollywood. Each and every cast member did an amazing job. Kudos D3. Take a bow - you guys rocked it!

After an amazing performance, it was back to reality for the D3 gang. Rey, Swayam, Sharon, Taani, Simmi and Nilesh come back to Bombay in Sharon's car. Rey drives while the others catch up on their sleep. He drops off Sharon first. When they are leaving, Rey notices that Sharon has a fever. He tells her to take care of herself. Swayam gets worried about her health when she starts coughing too. Sharon tells everyone that she just needs to rest as it was a hectic trip. She tells everyone not to worry about her and leaves. Nilesh and Simmi leave together. Rey tells Taani and Swayam that he'll drop them when Swayam tells them that he wants to spend some time alone. When Taani hesitates, Swayam reassures her to go home with Rey. I'm sure we're going to see loads of TaaRey moments in the next episode as Swayam is busy with his lady love!

Swayam sneaks into Sharon's room to make sure that she's actually okay. Sharon as usual is irritated by Swayam's behavior and yells at him to leave. He tells her that until he is sure that she's okay, he's not going to go anywhere! Oh Swayam! Why can't every girl have a lover boy like you? He tries to feel her forehead but she step back. Finally, he gets a hold of her and checks her temperature. He gets even more worried because Sharon has a high fever. He asks her about why she lied to everyone about her fever. Sharon thinks back to her asthmatic attacks when she was in Goa and how close Swayam came to finding out. She wonders if she should tell him the truth. 

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

Daily Update: D3, February 7th, 2013

Now this is what he have to look forward to next week!!! Can't wait!

Finally the entire gang is in Goa for Nokia Indiafest! After meeting, they try to plan out their next move. Since they are not registered to perform, they have to think of some other way to get themselves on the performance list. Sharon and Swayam try to talk to the organizers while the rest of the gang sneaks into the hotel where all the other performers are staying. The manager they talks to tells them that St. Louis is not officially registered anymore. They tell him that since they performed last year, this year they are like celebrities! And this year they are not representing their college, instead they are a new group called D3. It was nice watching SwaRon in a comic setting after all the heavy-duty drama all of last week!

Once the gang is in, they have to figure out where they are going to be staying. Since the hotel is booked, there are no more rooms. Neha comes up with a plan - stay in a place that people don't access, that way no one will suspect that they are not performers. Everyone agrees but the girls put up a fuss when they find out that they will be staying in the stock room. Girls! They are always so fussy! Finally when they realize that they just have to manage for a night, they reluctantly agree. 

While all this is happening, Rey tries to talk to Taani. Tanni tells him that no one is in college. She wonders if they didn't come because they are upset about the Indiafest fiasco. Rey finally tells her that everyone is in Goa. He tries to make her understand that they broke the rules because they were only following their hearts. He also tells her that no one told her about their plan because she is the GS. Taani is very hurt by Rey's statement and asks him if that was the reason why he kept it from her too. Ouch! Poor Rey is in deep poo poo! I get why Rey didn't tell Taani right away but the way he told her about it wasn't the best either. Taani tells him that she has to take care of things since she is the GS and hangs up on Rey. Wonder what Taani's next move will be.

Rey then joins the rest of the gang. They tell him about everything they have planned thus far. He listens to them and asks them the most important question - How will they gain access to the main venue since their names are not on the performance list? Everyone is stumped. Rey and Sharon come with a plan. Wonder what their next move will be?

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

Also I happened to find this video of the D3 gang's amazing group performance. It's so nice to see the entire group dancing together - including Sharon! Hopefully this isn't just a dream like the whole Remo and the ABCD team thing. Regardless, they totally rocked it!  I can't wait to see the actual episode! 

Check out this video of the entire D3 gang doing their thing! I earlier posted a video of Shantanu and Vrushika. This one includes some of the other folks too.

Looks like the D3 gang had loads of fun at Indiafest. Can't wait to finally watch all of the dance performance in the actual episodes!
