Let me start by wishing all of you a very Happy New Year! Hope you folks have an awesome year ahead filled with lots of love and success!
Now let's get back to D:3. So now the boys have watched their opponents and studied their style. Swayam immediately gets to work and figures out a strategy to give them the upper hand even though Welham has a really good team. Swayam ingeniously figures out that their strength, dance, will work in their favor. He enlists the girls - Simmi, Rinni, Neha and Aashi, to help them out with their mission. Rey is like the bookends of this episode - he appears in the beginning and in the end. The middle is all about Swayam and the boys. Taani is 'sick' and stays away from the boys. She also tells Swayam and she will be coordinating with him and not Rey. I wonder if there is going to be a huge TaaRey romance at the end of this basketball track. Other than that I am eagerly awaiting the return of Sharon!
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!
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.
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...
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.
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.
