Ungal Choice Reviews

OUH OUR KADUVULE!

The wildcard round was so far one of THE best rounds we've seen so far. These groups are really putting in the effort to show everyone that they deserve to be in the Semi Finals! Although 2 groups got eliminated today, we think that all 6 groups put in their ALL and everyone deserves a round of applause.

*Standing ovation*

Shoutout to Megastar:

Thank you for FINALLY listening to everyones war-torn soul's plead in publicly displaying the voting results. Thank you thank you thank you.

Chakraz



It was a victory that had taken some time, but a well waited victory none the less. Simply mind blowing. What a choreography and what an execution. It's Sunday night fever!! These fellas are DAMN good at what they do! Another blast from the past. All the dancers looked smashing in their outfits with their hats and retro wigs. Shaggalicious baybeh. Like what their representative said, we have NO clue what song that was but it did suit their theme really nicely. The usage of props was very nice. Guitar, Mics and the Balls! We even wondered where the balls appeared from (especially the huge one). Sometimes (even for their first performance) we notice that their positioning is a little off, but we are guessing that that's due to the amount of stunts and swirls that they do. Steps were apt and they seemed really difficult at times when they threw the girl off and of course(like the males spinning the female UFOs). Its truly a feat doing all 4 at the same time. We were worried that some of them might collide onto each other heads-on but thank god they didn't! Hats off guys with that note The Wheelz (Chakraz) have spun themselves right into the Semi Finals. Congratulations!

Apsara Asia



Apsara Asiavukku oru O podunge! Magnificent magnificent piece. We think the speciality in their whole dance was the fact that the non Indians were able to dance classical tremendously well. Not only that, they managed to understand the choreography well and apply it with full technique. Even we as Indians wouldn't have been able to carry that out half as well. So Kudos to everyone in the group. Special mention to the non Indian guy who did a short lead ! HE WAS LIP SINGING THE SONG! You rock! SO our dearest fella Indian dancers I don think there is a reason for you to forge to lip sing. Double A's Energy was just awesome, so as their coordination. But it was funny to think that Arvind said that the song hypnotized him to sleep! Mazhai Thuli is a powerful song that has the ability to make our hair stand and give us goosebumps. So we didn't understand that part a tad bit. But anyway, you guys deserve to be in, even in the Quarter Finals! Another long awaited victory! Kudos!

Anarchy



Given 1 week to come up with another dance plus costume is relatively tough. Having said that, we think that Anarchy did really well for a 1 week choreography. We can call it as a safe performance. We totally dig their costume! It looked very presentable and the colour selection was indeed very attractive. Revolutionary bhangra! Way to go. Steps were unique and energy level was fantastic. Good effort Anarchy! We can't wait to see you guys in the Semi's!

Synchronix



We kind of figured these boys would do one of their previous routines and what'd you know? We were right! Their famous thottu thottu dance. We spotted alot of similar steps from their previous dance. It was surprising the judges didn't notice it. But oh well, these boys, like always, nailed with their expressions and energy level! Good job overall! We are hoping to see you guys try something different and creative and hope you guys can maneuver yourselves to the finals!

Shoutouts to both PFD and 4 Dee Krew

Eh yo, both you guys did incredibly well and there was tremendous improvement from the quarter finals! It's quite sad to see both of you go, but we guess that's how a competition works. For all the hard work and preparation, you have our shoutouts with you. Excellent attitude. We hope to see you guys back in the next season of Dhool (if they have one).

HIGHLIGHT

We can feel the heat!!! Can you? Semi Finals are right around the corner and we are eagerly awaiting for the next set of awesome performances! Our advice to teams in the Semi Finals! Try to step out of your comfort zones and experiment with something new! It's always something different that captures every one's heart. செய்ததே திரும்பி திரும்பி செய்யாதீங்க.

Now now now, presenting the 6 groups that will appear for the first round of Semi Finals:

Killabeez
RSR
Tridiac
Synchronix
Anarchy
Kali Dancers

We are sort of worried for Anarchy and Synchronix, considering they only have 1 week to get everything prepared. Mmm... The rest of the teams have been given sufficient time and we sure do hope they will give us a round worth remembering! All the best to all the teams, we are all here to support you!
