If the group is Indian then its just an average performance... i have watched so many groups from India and they are doing great job... i have read someones comment in the comments below about tge hands movement which was very sharp and quick which is not the requiremnt of this song at all... i have seen the original and have realized that even the KANEEZES sitting behinf BAHAR are expressing in a suttle and soft way and there is no hurry to perform watever yu learnt or otherwise yu have a threat back of mind to forget..... dance and specially on these MUGHL E AZAM songs .... dance have to be very suttle calm and polite instead of doing steps fast and quickly thinking and threatening not to forget... as in if yu dint do it quickly yu wud forget... moreover no one taight the main lead where to sit... she sats where there were 2 indian lights place on floor and henxe she became so horrible and the shadows falling her face all tge way from both the sides. And the face is so harsh and chalky just because she sat just few inches away from 1000k lights..... its not only just that yu prepare things and perform them without any research and any guidelines... if yu are gonna present something from MASTER PIECES OF THE CENTURY you shud work harder and then portray or perform.... anyways being so critic in a way that yu may learn something i also wud like to beg ny appologies for pointing the weaknesses out. Hope yu take it as a positive criticism and will try harder next time.

I genuinely feel they should have been a little more finace in the performance. There should have been more fine thearte actors for delivering the performance. I personally have a lot of high regards and love for this film.

New concept. Bridging silver screen to reality. Good job.

[@kangtavenus1236]

Her hand movements are fast and she cannot go with the flow . These type of dance should be gracefully performed rather than jumping and hand gesture going fast . Each word has to be conveyed vividly.

[@aakashmadhukar3954]

Not at all. Slow hand movement works only when the song is shot for films.This is Live Stage Performance.

Ji kathak ka mujra hai isme mainly hm facial expressions ko lete hai yha word convey hard hota as i am also kathak dancer I know the effort it's live so u can't convey all things

Very nice choreo and setting but expressions and way of portraying the dance by the principal dancer are too flirtatious. For me you have to imagine that you are in the royal court so u have to express in a more nuanced way. And I m a bit disappointed by the male dancer also
