[music playing]
[Narrator] 'Kids too can harbour dreams'
'and show everyone what's in trend.'
'Because little feet can make the whole world dance too!'
'Here to prove it to everyone yet again,"
'with a promise of entertainment and emotions,'
'and with five times the level of excitement...'
- 'Whoa! - Wow!'
'Dangerously exquisite, supreme and simply outstanding!'
[Marzi] 'I'm blessed to be on this season'
'because this is the best talent I've seen.'
[Shilpa] 'If you've not seen this, you've seen nothing.'
[cheering]
'Ladder!' [echoing]
[Narrator] 'Super Dancer Chapter 5 is back!'
[theme song playing]
[applause and cheer]
Whoa!
Back with loads of dance and entertainment...
With the golden times of childhood...
And offering a judge their old budget...
[laughter]
After four whole years, making a comeback
is your favourite and most loved show.
Welcome to
Super Dancer Chapter 5! [all]
- [applause] - [theme song concludes]
A big round of applause for our super gurus
and this stage,
that provides an endless sky to every shining dream.
[applause and cheer]
[Geeta] 'Today,'
'the new stars of that very sky are about to descend on this stage.'
'To find them,'
'our super gurus travelled across the country.'
'And picked the Top 12 of Super Dancer Chapter 5.'
[Marzi] And on that note,
let's begin
Super Dancer Chapter 5! [all]
[theme song playing, applause]
[theme song concludes]
"Yes, sir!"
Oh, my!
Oh!
[music playing]
[laughter and applause]
Mama Ji, we know you have low standards.
There's no need to prove it.
Let me tell you this is called falling in love.
[Geeta] Gosh!
[laughs]
Here goes.
'I didn't make any requests...'
Nice! Lovely. [in unison]
'Nor use any shortcuts.'
Lovely. [in unison]
'Tell your beloved, the OG is back!'
Oh, God!
"Yes, sir!"
Yes, my brother is back!
[whimsical music playing]
[laughter]
So much has changed in four years.
Hey, what is this?
I'd heard of flying jets, but a flying chair?
[laughter]
Mama Ji, this chair is very special.
This is for the women who stand in the audition queues
but are not dancers.
Okay.
We're talking about
those who teach children how to walk
and also teach them the various arts.
[Geeta] 'Lovely.'
[Shilpa] 'Mama Ji, this time,'
'all the mothers'
will watch the performance of the apple of their eyes
from that chair.
[Paritosh] Wow.
Fantastic. A big round of applause on that note.
The super gurus have scouted such amazing talent this time.
Every single kid has one crore followers.
[music playing]
'You already know them and are about to be blown away.'
'There will be only one Super Dancer'
'but every one of them is a superstar.'
The fight is to be the best.
This time, the competition is stiff
because the fight is between the best!
[Shilpa] 'The internet turned them into stars,'
'but this stage will turn them into superstars.'
[applause]
What are we waiting for?
Begin the show, sister.
Let's call our first super guru.
Who'll come? Who's first? Tell me who wants to come.
- Me. - Me!
The "me first" people!
[laughter]
Hospital! Hospital...
What?
Do you want to go to the hospital?
Hospital... Hey, I brought them from the hospital... Ah!
I brought my kid from the hospital, Mama Ji!
'To find my super dancer for Super Dancer Chapter 5,'
'I too left on a tour of India.'
'After travelling a lot,'
'I got really sick when I reached Delhi.'
'But it is said what happens is for the best.'
'There was a reason I got admitted to the hospital'
'because that is where I found my Super Dancer.'
[upbeat song playing]
[cheer and applause]
- Greetings! - Greetings.
Oh, my.
Hi.
- How cute are you? - Me?
[laughter]
What's your name?
Barkat Arora.
How old are you?
Seven years.
My God!
- Two years older than my daughter. - Wow.
Where did you meet Pratik?
At the hospital.
- In Delhi? - Yes.
What did Pratik tell you?
Pratik said, "Come here. I'll take you to the show."
Then he spoke to Mom.
What did your mom say?
I don't know.
[laughter]
- First of all... - 'Dr. Babita Arora, Mother'
We wanted her to get trained in a good dance class.
And just out of the blue, Pratik showed up.
When Pratik told me,
"No, ma'am. She'll undergo training."
So, I said yes.
My husband and I are both doctors.
Ma'am, I'm a gynaecologist.
Hi! We're women!
[laughter]
Please treat us.
[laughter]
We own two hospitals.
'We reside close to the hospital'
but I never wanted to hire a nanny for Barkat from the start
and wanted to work
- and look after Barkat myself. - Okay.
'So, we built a partial residence in our hospital'
'for Barkat to stay.'
'She has a play area, a study room and an area for dance practice.'
'Suppose I'm in the OPD, my husband stays with Barkat.'
And when he's in the OPD, I stay with Barkat.
I make sure
that most of the time, Barkat is where I can see her.
She's on social media.
She has 2.5 million followers.
[joyous music playing]
- Barkat! - Yes?
Do you know you have an account on social media?
Yes, everyone tells me that they watch my videos
and I get confused.
Mom told me about it then.
Okay.
When she attended her first dance workshop,
the video uploaded by the choreographer or someone there
went viral.
Gradually, everyone at the workshop told us,
"Ma'am, the other people post her videos."
"You should also upload them on Instagram."
I gradually began uploading them, ma'am.
She got a lot of love.
But she doesn't know this.
She has no idea what followers are and how things work.
That's amazing!
I think the entire credit should go to you.
Absolutely.
- Very well handled. - Thank you, ma'am.
You ensured you took out time for Barkat,
which is commendable.
[applause]
- Are you happy to be here? - Yes.
- Are you excited to perform? - Yes.
- Do you want to show us your performance? - Yes.
Did you have fun working with Pratik?
Yes. [faintly]
Her "yes" wasn't too confident.
So, I want to see her perform.
I want to see what Pratik did with Barkat, okay?
[applause]
[music playing]
[song playing]
Dance is way too precious.
Along with the drums and kettle,
here to fill your hearts with love and joy
is our dancer Barkat!
[applause]
[music playing]
[upbeat song playing]
[Geeta] Lovely!
[Shilpa] Yes!
Full-on expressions!
Yes, full on.
[music continues]
[song continues]
[Geeta] My God!
[thundering applause and cheering]
[Marzi] Mind-blowing!
How cute is she?
- [Shilpa] Whoa! - [Marzi] Ah!
[mouthing lyrics]
[vocalisation]
[song concludes]
Beautiful.
I'm in shock.
- No doubt. - What kids!
What are these kids?
[applause]
Your mouth's agape!
After so long! Nice.
[laughter]
What was that, Shilpa?
I'll tell you.
It's when you see Chembur in Goregaon!
[laughter]
[applause]
What was that, Barkat? What was it?
Barkat Arora.
[laughter]
What is this? Barkat Arora!
That's it.
Dr. Arora, what did you consume when you were pregnant with her?
[laughter]
Little girl, big impact!
What's surprising is that
at such a young age, she is aware
- when to... - Yes.
- Which step needs more gusto... - Right.
She has Govinda's quality.
Playing with expressions.
When to do this...
- Yes. - She did that step.
[song playing]
Unbelievable! At seven.
Thank you, ma'am.
Terrific! Terrific...
For you, Barkat.
You were way better than just super.
Thank you, ma'am.
Welcome to Super Dancer Chapter 5.
[applause]
Barkat, firstly,
do you know you're really cute?
Um, people do say that.
[laughter]
People say you're cute, but do you think you're cute?
Eh, I'm just okay.
[laughter]
- Weren't you wearing glasses when you arrived? - Yes.
- Where'd they go? - They're with Mom.
Are they prescription or are they just for style?
- Prescription. - Show me, Mom.
- I can't see anything beyond the stage. - [gasps]
- Do you know the power? - Yes.
- What is it? - 1.75 and 2.75, cylindrical.
And you danced so well without your glasses.
Mom says, "If you wear glasses,"
"your eyes and expressions won't be visible."
Yes, correct.
So, I got into the habit of dancing without them.
You have the X factor which a dancer ought to have.
Wonderful.
[music playing]
- You're the queen of expression. - Thank you, sir.
You absolutely deserve this.
Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.
[applause]
- Ma'am! - Yes, ma'am.
How was Barkat's dance?
Ma'am, watching her dance on such a big platform
and sitting on this special chair is a different feeling.
And...
I'm short of words.
Are you happy?
You weren't keen on her coming here.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm happy seeing her getting trained so well
and performing on such a big stage.
[applause]
[Geeta] Well done.
[sentimental music playing]
How sweet!
[applause fading]
This is on behalf of Barkat's mom.
Yes!
Thank you so much, ma'am.
[theme song playing]
[cheer and applause]
[theme song concludes]
Ma'am! Sir!
We all want to dance with Barkat. Can we?
No.
Please, she's really cute.
Okay.
[applause]
So cute! Go.
Have fun.
[music playing]
[whooping]
[upbeat song playing]
[laughter]
[song concludes]
- My God! - Oh, my.
[whistling and applause]
Wow.
All right, let's call our next super guru.
Who will it be?
Me!
A big hand for Super Guru Pratiksha!
"Pratiksha, the wait is over, it's time for celebration!"
So...
- Hi, ma'am. Hi, sir. - Hi.
Ma'am, I went to U.P. for an event.
I reached the venue
and I was honoured and thanked for making it.
They didn't start the event though.
I asked them what the holdup was.
They said, "We're expecting our chief guest."
I thought it must have been a celebrity.
The chief guest arrives after an hour
and the chief guest is none other than a little girl.
[upbeat song playing]
People went crazy after watching her perform.
I met that girl in U.P. and she's really crazy.
Her name is Aadhyashree.
[upbeat song playing]
[applause]
- Hi, greetings. - Hello.
Hello, ma'am. Hi, greetings.
Aadhyashree, you attended an event as a chief guest
where she was there too.
You played a chief guest at such a young age!
Look. I'm very popular in Assam.
Everyone loves and supports me.
So, I receive a lot of love.
People invite me to various events to perform for them.
I attend those events. I start with greeting everyone.
After that...
My English is weak but I speak a sentence or two.
[laughter]
Who doesn't know her?
- She's very popular. - Really?
- Oh! - Yes.
There's a famous choreographer
- with whom she has collaborated in many videos. -Really?
Yes, he's also a friend.
[upbeat song playing]
How many followers do you have?
1.3 million.
[echoing]
And who manages your account?
I manage my own account and...
- I mean... - [laughter]
I manage my account
and Dad helps me a little bit too.
I'm in shock.
But is she good at studies?
She recently scored 95%.
[music playing]
How long have you been on social media now?
Three years.
I mean, in three years,
- my following... - Your followers have increased.
How old is she?
I'm eight.
- She started social media when she was five. - What!
- Yes. Three years. - It has been three years.
She took her polio drop and immediately created an account.
[laughter]
I have a dream.
When I make it on Super Dancer,
my followers will increase to ten million.
Okay. How many zeroes does ten million have?
[perplexing music playing]
Well done.
One... Just a minute.
Sure, take two.
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand...
Then comes... Yes!
It has seven zeroes.
[whimsical music playing]
I'm looking at Marzi and asking him because I don't know!
- She's right. - Right?
Yes.
[applause]
What do you want to be when you grow up, Aadhyashree?
When I grow up,
I want to start my own channel.
I'll have my own show and be a judge on it.
She wants to start a channel!
Aadhyashree, tell me how to increase my followers.
Hang on. Hold the mic, please.
Yes. Look. If you only post a dance, your reel will not trend.
You need to post dance coupled with drama, acting, comedy and others.
For instance, Mrs. Shetty posted a trending reel.
"Chicken, banana, chicken, banana."
That one, right?
[laughter]
Will you make a reel with me?
- So that I understand. - Why not?
[laughter]
- All the very best, Aadhyashree. - Thank you.
Presenting the little girl who's a big influencer,
who doesn't become a chief guest for free.
Our little Aadhyashree!
With Super Guru Pratiksha.
Set up, please.
- Huh? Oh, what? - Set up, please.
- Set up. - Okay.
[applause]
[music playing]
Ah!
Listen up!
[music playing]
Ah!
Oh, God!
[song playing]
[Geeta] I've got goosebumps.
What!
[Geeta] Fantastic!
[upbeat song continues]
[buzzer sounds]
[cheer and applause]
Enough of her dancing prowess!
Let's witness her acting skills.
At times, she plays Aishwarya.
Hey!
Shilpa!
Juhi.
And for no reason!
[laughter]
"Don't love me so much, Dev."
"You'll needlessly suffer."
"You will hurt."
- [Geeta] My, oh, my! - [Marzi] Oh, my!
"You will hurt."
[laughter]
"Oh! I told you so."
"You will hurt."
[laughter]
"Wow, I've danced like a diva!"
[laughter]
"May I not succumb to the evil gaze!"
[Geeta] "I've danced like a diva!"
[song continues]
Whoa!
[laughter]
[upbeat vocalisation and music]
[Geeta] Yay!
Ah!
[Marzi] Ah!
[ecstatic laugh]
[laughing]
'This will cause you pain.'
It did cause me pain.
Wow!
[applauding]
What is she?
Once more! [all]
Say something!
[laughing]
Say something!
Oh!
[laughing]
Hey!
Where am I?
It's been just four years,
but everything's moved so far ahead.
I feel completely out of place now.
Aadhyashree,
you squeezed that lemon so dry,
not a single drop was spared.
Thank you, ma'am.
Your expressions...
[song playing]
You didn't miss a single beat.
[song playing]
What was that swaying of your hips...
- Oh my! - In the middle of your cartwheel...
Do it once again, Aadhyashree.
[cheering and applauding]
- 'Oh my! I told you, it will cause you pain.' - She is cute.
Did you know that she could do that?
We tried a lot of things.
She showed one move and this is what she did.
This is her move.
Oh my!
Pratiksha, you are a brilliant dancer
and a choreographer.
Thank you, ma'am! Thank you!
Pratiksha, I am seeing you on this platform for the first time.
There is no doubt that you will be a great teacher.
Welcome to the Super Dancer Family.
Thank you, ma'am.
Ah... Aadhyashree,
you are stupendo fantabulously
- phantasmagorically magical. - Thank you!
Ma'am!
I would like to thank the team of Super Dancer.
You've given me respect.
We are from a village.
We're not used to this kind of treatment.
Back home, we usually sit on the floor. But here,
we've received so much love and respect.
I genuinely want to thank you.
Aadhyashree, please come here.
[music playing]
You dream of becoming a judge, right?
- You want to be a judge in the future, don't you? - Yes.
If you keep performing like this,
the three of us will be asked to leave, and you will be the judge.
[laughing]
Tell us about yourself and the dance.
- How did you like your dance? - Oh my!
Ah... What do I say about myself?
[laughing]
The dance was good.
It was nice. I can do better.
- Oh my! - And go really far!
- Will you do better than this? - That's it!
- Yes. - This statement won my heart.
[applauding]
Just like ma'am says, 'way better than just super'.
This was super, but I will go much further.
Oh my!
Hello, ma'am!
Okay! You have to do one thing.
Do that!
She deserves it!
Oh my! Stair!
Thank you!
[song playing] [cheering and applauding]
Do this!
[cheering and applauding]
Shilpa ma'am, I have a request.
I have 1.3 million followers. I want to hit 10 million followers,
and for that, I want to dance with you!
But what will happen if you dance with me?
You have way more followers
than me.
That's why I'm aiming higher than super!
[laughing]
Aadhyashree, whether you have more followers or not,
always remember,
you are way better than super.
Thank you, ma'am!
[cheering and applauding]
[music playing]
[cheering and applauding]
[music playing]
[song playing]
Whoa!
Wow!
[song playing]
[cheering]
[song playing]
- Hold on! Excuse me! - Oh my! What was that?
Shilpa! Do that once.
Uncle does it better.
I will do that, but how will I untangle my hands?
[music playing]
Come on!
[song playing]
This is by far the first show where we can proudly say
that this is a grand opening.
If this is how the grand opening is,
- then how will the finale be? - Exactly!
The whole of India will watch.
Let's go!
So, let's call the next super dancer. I can't do that.
Because the Super Gurus went looking for them.
So, who is it, sir?
Call me!
Give me a chance. I am a senior.
You are so senior
that you shouldn't have gotten a chance to live so long.
I have a bribe.
Oh! Something for the judges.
Hey! Harry Potter from Bhandup, come here.
Harry Potter from Bhandup!
The show is being aired after four years. We should have sweets.
Thank you very much! Wow!
This time, we had to choose the contestants.
I frequent underground battles.
I went to an event in Uttarakhand.
He was in the dance battle there.
Did you find a dancer from Uttarakhand?
No, Uncle. Hear me out.
I started following him when I saw him in Uttarakhand.
And then there was an event in Jaipur.
I went over there to see him and he was in a dance battle there too!
- He was brilliant! - So, you found him in Jaipur.
Uncle, listen to me.
From there, I went to Chennai.
Because there was an event in Chennai.
That is where I spoke with him and I found out...
If he is not from Chennai, you will wear the lungi.
When I went to Delhi, I found out he was from my city, Delhi.
He made me spend a lot.
[laughing]
I went to Delhi and met his family and told them
that he is talented, so he should be on Super Dancer.
You will be shocked when you hear
what his mom said.
What did she say? Rubbish!
[laughing]
She said that I will regret taking him.
She said he is a dangerous child.
If you want to take him, it's on you.
Don't say I didn't give a warning.
[music playing]
Hello, ma'am!
Hello, handsome!
Yes, sir!
What is your name?
My name is Anish aka Jackie.
- Huh? - Aka...
Anish aka Jackie!
Oh! It's aka Jackie!
Why do you have two names?
People in my family and school know me as Anish.
Jackie is my stage name.
Why did you choose the name Jackie?
My sir gave me that name because I am jacked with energy.
In that case, you should be Tiger.
He is his dad.
Okay!
How old are you?
I am 9 years old.
Since when are you dancing?
I've been dancing for the last three years.
You are 9 years old.
So, you've been dancing since you were 6 years old?
- Lovely! - That is good.
[laughing]
That is good, it seems.
Why is it good?
It's good that I've been dancing for the last three years.
I am asking, why are you dancing for three years and not four?
My wish!
[laughing]
"Don't say anything about me."
"Sit quietly and don't say a word."
"Don't teach me what is right or wrong."
"Even if I have tea or coffee with curd."
Son, please forgive the judge.
I... Will you let me speak?
We...
We will let you speak, but what about him?
How is your wish? I am Marzi.
Am I yours?
You belong to yourself.
How could you say 'my wish'.
It is my wish.
Meet me later.
Jackie, tell me something.
Why did your mom say to him
that he would regret bringing you?
What would I know? My mom lies.
[laughing]
List out all the naughty things your child does.
He breaks everything.
My younger sister breaks them.
He has a younger sister. He fights with her a lot
and we get complaints from his school.
- Mom is lying. - She is lying?
[laughing]
If the exam is for 2.5 hours,
he finishes it in an hour.
- Who is he like? If he is so naughty... - His dad.
Tell them about him punching a judge at a dance show.
[playful song playing]
[laughing]
I am an innocent boy.
My mom says I fight and break things.
But I don't do anything. I help Mom.
Okay!
Ma'am, this time, Super Dancer Chapter 5
is giving a special platform to mothers.
Please have a seat there and see what your son's doing.
Sorry! Performance.
So, presenting the apple of his mother's eye...
A man is still talking, ma'am.
[laughing]
So, presenting the apple of his mother's eye...
for him, be it day or night,
life's always a playful ride!
I am still not done.
[laughing]
Anish aka Jackie, with Super Guru Rupesh Soni. A big hand.
I will share the rest in writing, viewers.
This way!
Let's go!
[music playing]
[electronic whirring]
[music playing]
Whoa!
[music playing]
Yeah!
[cheering]
[song playing]
[cheering]
[laughing]
[song playing]
Impressive! Mind blowing!
[music playing]
Nice!
Wow!
Nice!
[applauding]
[cheering]
[song playing]
[cheering]
Oh my!
- Brilliant! - Nice!
Yes!
[applauding and cheering]
Jackie, I love you as a dancer.
There is everything.
There is flair, style and swag.
He does everything you do.
But if there is a variation in expression,
then Anish will rock this stage.
And a great find. Too good!
[music playing]
Ma'am!
Do you know why Jackie has been breaking things around the house?
He was practising.
He knew he had to come on Super Dancer and rock the stage!
Whoa!
You smashed the stage!
- I loved the little... - Yeah!
- Yes! - Yeah! It was superb.
The way you blended hip hop, locking-popping,
and then the whole Bollywood came in.
It was very nice.
I loved today's act.
Your dance reflects your playful spirit.
And I really love kids who are full of life!
Because I was naughty as a child.
Stay playful and keep on dancing! All the best!
Yes, sir.
Rupesh, is he as mischievous as his mom claims?
He hasn't started the mischief yet,
but he needs a break every five minutes!
Sir has also started to lie.
Woah!
Ma'am, how did you like the performance?
I loved his performance.
I've always heard about his mischief. But now,
after seeing his performance and the praise he is receiving
from all of you, it makes me feel proud.
Okay!
Thank you so much! A big hand.
The next Super Guru...
Who will come next?
- Call me! - Me!
It's time for my medication.
No!
You've reached the stage where only prayers can help, not medicine.'
[laughing]
I will go next. Please, I am next.
So, when we found out
that the choreographers have to hunt for dancers,
I sent a text to all my friends who are choreographers
and asked them to let me know
if they know a good dancer who is popular.
You won't believe it!
The same child was suggested by over ten groups!
So, when I found out about the child, I came to know
that he was from Sikkim.
[music playing]
When I saw him there,
he was a great dancer.
When I looked for him on social media, he was also popular.
I realised that he is the one
who will clear all the challenges of Super Dancer Chapter 5.
So, I would like to call Shanky on stage.
[music playing]
[song playing]
Whoa!
[cheering]
Name... What is your name?
Shanky!
How old are you, Shanky?
Ma'am, I am 10 years old.
And is this name Shanky... I mean, are you known as
Shanky in your school or...
No! My real name is Sankalp.
- Okay! - My aunt named me Shanky.
Why?
Because I wouldn't sit in one place when I was young.
She thought I would become an athlete.
She named me frankly!
Oh, is it!
- Shanky! - 'Shankly'.
- Greetings, sir. - Hello, ma'am.
I am Shanky's dad,
Sitaram Gupta.
- Mr. Sitaram, everyone's moms are here. - Yes.
Why is Shanky's mom not here?
- Before coming here... - Yes?
She fell ill.
She is sick. I took her to the doctor
for a checkup.
The doctor asked her not to go.
- Both her kidneys have failed. - Oh!
Today is a big day for her.
Shanky is on this stage. She is...
She is very happy.
[somber music playing]
- I want to request something. - Please, tell us.
His mom deserves
to sit in this chair.
I...
And after this show is over,
I would like to bring
Shanky's mom here
and make her sit there.
[somber music playing]
I don't deserve to sit on that chair. His mom deserves it.
His mom is his biggest supporter.
Good!
Please have a seat there
and we will wait for his mom to come and sit on that chair.
Thank you!
Presenting Shanky with Super Guru, Vipul Kandpal.
[music playing]
Brilliant!
[slow ticking]
[music playing]
- Whoa! - Oh my!
'Whether your eyes are open or closed,'
'but somehow,'
'you just can't help falling in love with this stage.'
[music playing]
- [song playing] - Wow!
Nice!
[music playing]
Nice!
Lovely!
Wow!
Yeah!
Well done!
- Let's go! - Come on!
[song playing]
Yeah!
[cheering]
Yes!
Nice!
Impressive!
Lovely!
Amazing!
Mind-blowing!
He was so cool. He is a cool kid.
[applauding and cheering]
[cheering]
[speaking gibberish]
Oh God!
Every kid here is a showstopper!
Viewers,
Super Dancer Chapter 5...
- If you haven't watched this, you have seen nothing! - Lovely!
Amazing!
[music playing]
Shanky, you have a great style.
Thank you, ma'am! Thank you!
Your expressions were on point.
You are a confident dancer.
That is your x-factor.
Vipul, what's impressive is that
your energy matches this child's energy perfectly.
[song playing]
- Welcome to Super Dancer Chapter 5! - Thank you!
[cheering and applauding]
Shanky!
- Yes, sir? - You're a feel-good dancer.
You bring a smile to our faces and make us happy.
- Thank you. - All three of us felt that happiness.
Vipul, it was well-choreographed.
It felt like two brothers were dancing together.
[song playing]
- All the best. - Thank you, sir.
Shanky, come to me.
[audience cheering, applauding]
Oh, my!
[audience cheering, applauding]
[title song playing]
I have a message for Shanky's mother.
Shanky's father refused
to sit in this chair
because he believes you deserve to sit here.
We'll keep this chair empty
whenever Shanky performs,
hoping that you'd come and sit in it one day.
[mellow music playing]
Aw!
These are the gems chosen from across India by our super gurus.
It's time to invite our next super guru.
The thing is, when we witness someone's journey,
we relate to their achievements.
Our next participant arrived here
seven or eight years ago, as the apple of his mother's eye.
Today, he's a famous star.
Years ago, he arrived as a Super Dancer,
but today, he's here to groom a Super Dancer.
Wonderful!
The magic of this platform has brought Akash down to earth today.
[upbeat music playing]
He went to dizzying heights!
Please welcome super guru, Akash Thapa!
[song playing]
He was this small.
[audience cheering, applauding]
Phew! I've never been so nervous before.
I must tell you something.
Super Dancer didn't happen over the last four years.
- However, I saw Akash's journey as a choreographer. - Yes.
He has become one of the finest choreographers.
"Dance!"
Thank you, Ma.
He's excellent in his work.
He still works hard.
He is still adorable.
It's just that he stopped giving us
those warm hugs.
[song playing]
- Actually... - Because he's now cute and handsome.
- No. He's still a child. - No. No!
I can't forget that.
Save this smile...
- After my performance, if I'm good, I'll... - Step back.
I'll come to you.
So, Mama and judges,
the child I want to introduce to you today
- was found after extensive research. - Oh.
Florina Gogoi, the winner of the last season,
hails from the northeast. So, I packed my bags
and travelled 2,627 kilometres to reach Guwahati, Assam.
[vocalising]
[school bell ringing]
'Guwahati is so vast. Let's search every nook and cranny.'
'Do you know a child dancer? You don't.'
'I dance well.'
'Do you know a popular child dancer?'
'He's quite popular.'
'Does he dance?'
'No. He's famous for mischief.'
[coming to a screeching halt]
'I can't find a child.'
'A cute child like me.'
'Where will I find one?'
'There's a school nearby.'
'Please stop near the school.'
'- Tokjir! Tokjir! - Tokjir! Tokjir!'
'Hey!'
'- Yay! - Tokjir!'
- [children cheering] - [song playing]
[song playing]
- He took us six years back. - That's right.
That's Mini Akash.
- Hello, ma'am. - Greetings, ma'am.
- Greetings. - Greetings.
Oh, God! Tokjir!
- Yes, ma'am. - What does your name mean?
- Detail! - "Detail!"
- Yes. - Detail.
How old are you?
I'm nine years old.
Akash told me
you're quite popular at your school.
It's good to be popular,
- but I don't like one thing. - What?
Everyone at school pulls my cheeks.
How?
- I don't know why they pull my cheeks. - Come to me.
Please tell them in detail.
What do they do? Like this?
- Like this. - Do they pull your left cheek or the right one?
- Hey! - The left one.
- Do they pull like this? - Yes.
Akash, I think you empathise with him.
- Like this? - Yes.
Do the girls also pull your cheeks like this?
- Yes. - Even the girls?
They will end up creating a dimple in your cheek.
They pull my cheek hard and then walk off.
Is it okay if we pull them like this?
- No. - No?
We must do like this.
'Gosh!'
- Right? Do they pull like this? - Hmm.
You do appear cute.
[chuckling]
I think you're cuter.
You appear more handsome than Akash.
[smirking]
Is somebody jealous?
Akash's hopes have gone up in smoke.
[chuckling]
I want to ask his mother.
Why is he so popular at his school?
Ma'am, he's very fun-loving.
People praise Tokjir.
"Your son is so cute and dances so well.
He'll grow up to be a handsome boy."
Then I feel proud of him.
- Right. - [chuckling]
Every mother feels proud. I absolutely agree with you.
What do you want to do in Super Dancer?
I want to win the show.
- Whoa! - Aha!
Please tell them, "I'll do what my guru couldn't do."
Say the complete sentence.
I'll achieve what my guru could not.
Let's go!
My boy!
All the best.
Thank you, ma'am.
- Do your best! - Okay, ma'am!
Go for it!
Presenting
the boy whose cuteness makes everyone want to pull his cheeks.
The apple of his mother's eye.
Tokjir, with super guru, Akash Thapa!
[audience cheering, applauding]
[background music]
[upbeat music playing]
'Whoa!'
[audience cheering, applauding]
'Yes!'
[audience cheering, applauding]
"Tokjir!"
[upbeat music playing]
[carnival music playing]
[song playing]
'Aha!'
[audience cheering, applauding]
"Hasuka!"
"Wow!"
'Wonderful!'
[tapping]
[clearing throat]
Yes!
"Hasuka!"
- [shrieking] - Aha!
Woo-hoo!
[audience cheering, applauding]
He is so cute!
That's about it.
It's now over.
What the hell!
Look at these kids!
Superb!
We've just been informed by Sony TV
that the number of people pulling his cheeks has gone up dramatically.
Huh!
Tokjir.
Yes, sir.
Now I understand
why everyone pulls your cheeks.
- You look so cute while dancing. - Yes.
- I agree. - Thank you so much, sir.
You use your whole body while dancing
and give great expressions.
[background music]
You performed a step with your legs.
The leg swing...
Wonderful timing!
- Thank you, sir. - We were all like "gosh"!
I'll pull your cheeks whether you like it or not.
I'll shake your entire being.
No!
Akash, that was phenomenal. What a dancer you are!
- Thank you. - What a dancer!
Akash, when you first competed in Super Dancer,
I couldn't take my eyes off you.
You looked cute and danced equally well.
Today, Tokjir captured my heart.
"Wow!"
He was so cute that I couldn't see Akash. He was effortless.
He went... "Yay!" And I was like...
Even I want to pull them.
No, it's too late now.
"Aw!"
That's a good bet.
Akash, come here.
Aha!
Why are you coming here?
If you come here, we'll pull your cheeks. Come on.
Aw! Cutie! I won't pull your cheeks.
I love you.
- I love you too, ma'am. - Right?
[groaning]
[screaming]
- Do you want me to do that? - No.
[background music]
[chortling]
Oh, no! The poor thing. Marzi!
Mother, you've been standing for a long time. What do you want to say?
Ma'am, actually,
we reside in a village.
We do farming.
We raise livestock
and do poultry farming where we live.
It takes four to five hours to reach our village from Guwahati.
Since Tokjir started dancing,
I left farming
in my village and moved to Guwahati.
'This was a big decision for me'
'because living in Guwahati'
'and paying for his dance classes and school'
'is financially challenging.'
'But still, I've made this decision for his sake.'
Ma'am, we could never have imagined this.
Not everyone gets the chance to meet people like you
and talk so openly with you.
So, I feel
truly overwhelmed and blessed.
Especially, Akash.
Thank you so much
for choosing Tokjir and bringing him here.
[song playing]
He's such a sweet child.
Actually, he was the only entertainer
in our family.
Now, he's the entertainer for the whole country.
- Yes, sir. - Right?
[motivational music playing]
'I found my child!'
'- Yay! - Yay!'
All the dancers are amazing.
I have a feeling
that we've reached the finale,
and there's a competition between winners of different shows.
[audience cheering, applauding]
This show belongs to children,
and their tiny eyes hold big dreams.
They say adorable things.
They appear super cute.
[laughing]
However, there are a few cute super gurus as well.
One of them is so small
that the word "choreographer" appears bigger than them.
[guffawing]
But her nature is benign.
Oh! Saumya! Welcome. Come here.
She's anything but small. She's tough.
Which places did you visit?
Ma'am, I belong to Maharashtra. I'm a Marathi.
So, I decided
to start from Maharashtra.
- I went to Pune. - And then you ate 'poha'.
No.
I didn't have the time for that.
- I went to different places and ended up in Karad, Satara. - Nice!
I met a Marathi girl
called Aditi.
[background music]
This is a wonderful coincidence. You met a Marathi girl in Satara.
[guffawing]
She's just like me, quiet and diligent.
Let me introduce Aditi Jadhav.
Wonderful! Give it up for Aditi!
[background music]
'Whoa!'
Hi!
Hi, ma'am! Hi, sir!
How are you?
- I'm great. - That's good.
Aditi, please tell me.
Since when have you been learning dance?
And what are your hobbies?
I've been dancing
since I was four.
Then, my parents decided to enrol me in dance classes.
I've been dancing since I was four.
Well done.
You made a direct entry
into the Top 12 of Super Dancer during the grand premiere.
Saumya brought you here from Satara.
I'm happy and excited to be in the Top 12
of Super Dancer.
I've come here
because the small city of Karad in Satara
is full of talent.
- Wow. - It just lacks
workshops by famous choreographers
or advanced dance classes.
I've come to Super Dancer to win
and bring workshops and dance classes
by famous choreographers to Karad.
I want to be the first dancer from Karad, Satara,
- to compete in Super Dancer. - Oh, wow.
I think you'll do well
- because Saumya has chosen you. - Sure, ma'am.
Presenting Satara's girl, Aditi Jadhav,
with super guru, Saumya Kamble!
[suspenseful music playing]
'Oh, my!'
[upbeat music playing]
Whoa!
'Well done!'
'Woo-hoo!'
'Whoa!'
[background music]
[song playing]
[audience cheering]
'Whoa!'
'Mind-blowing!'
"This spark is greater than the storms."
"Wait and watch."
"This Marathi girl will outshine everyone."
'Oh, no!'
'Well done! Mind-blowing.'
[audience cheering, applauding]
[song playing]
'Unbelievable!'
'Aha!'
'Yes!'
[background music]
'Woo-hoo!'
'Oh my God!'
'Whoa!'
'My God!'
Mind-blowing!
- [song playing] - [audience cheering, applauding]
[applauding]
Please welcome
the star from Satara!
- Whoa! - Thank you, ma'am! Thank you!
You have powerful dance skills.
Gosh!
Saumya!
I saw Saumya dance in person for the first time today.
Your belly dancing
was jaw-dropping.
If I were a man, I would have married you.
Oh!
I'll start learning belly dancing from tomorrow onwards.
[laughing]
Well done. And what a pair!
What an amazing pair!
I loved it!
You were astounding.
[background music]
Believe me, dancing with your partner
can be problematic.
However, when I see you individually,
your expressions, your mannerisms,
and your talent,
you're a complete package.
- I must say that you deserve this. - Thank you, sir.
Sometimes, we just need to shut up after seeing an act.
Let's stay silent for the bouncing girl.
Thank you, ma'am! Thank you so much.
[title song playing]
Mother...
She has come from the small city of Karad in Satara.
She is now showcasing her talent
on a big platform.
I'm extremely happy.
- Yes. - Really.
I'm overjoyed.
Now that she's dancing at the national level,
I feel like I've achieved everything.
- No. This is just the beginning. - That's true.
She'll create waves.
She'll surely do that
and win everyone over.
Ma'am, she has already won us over.
She has won everyone over here, even one more celebrity.
She has won her over too.
She sent her a message.
'Aditi, the tigress of Western Maharashtra,'
'congratulations!'
'You're among the Top 12 in Super Dancer'
'and making Maharashtra proud.'
'I give you my best wishes.'
'Sai from Sangli'
'sends love to Aditi from Satara.'
'All the best!'
[speaking in Marathi]
Well done!
Thank you so much, Ms. Sai.
Keep supporting and loving me. Thank you.
