[Narrator] 'Year 1893.'
'Maharashtra.'
'This was the time'
'when the hearts of Indians'
'were beating to break free from the shackles of slavery.'
'There was a need for a power'
'that could help people rise above caste, religion and community'
'and unite them.'
'Bal Gangadhar Tilak'
'That was when freedom fighter Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak'
'established Lord Ganesha's idol in public places.'
[devotional music playing]
'The Ganesha Utsav wasn't just a festival of devotion,'
'but rather a movement,'
'where along with the flame of devotion,'
'also burned the torch of freedom.'
'That marked the beginning of Ganesh Chaturthi'
'which is celebrated not just in every corner of India,'
'but all around the world'
'with great devoutness and exuberance.'
- Glory to Lord Ganesha! - Salutations!
- [bell ringing] - [conch blowing]
[devotional song playing]
[applause and whooping]
Whoa!
[whistling]
[song continues]
[singing intensifies]
[song concludes]
[audience applauding and whooping]
'O Lord Ganesha, of curved trunk and mighty body.'
'You shine as brightly as a million suns.'
'Lord, bless my endeavours'
'so they're free of obstacles in everything I do.'
Lord Ganesha arrived three days ago
in our homes, families and at public places.
Everyone has celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi with pomp.
On behalf of the Super Dancer family,
I wish you all a Happy Ganesh Chaturthi.
- [devotional song playing] - [applause]
- Glory to Lord Ganesha! - Salutations! [all]
Hail the embodiment of auspiciousness!
Hail the Lord! [all]
[conch blowing]
Look at the power of devotion.
This celebration was initiated when we were under British rule.
And today,
if you look at England,
- you'll see Ganesh Chaturthi being celebrated with pomp. - Absolutely.
[applause]
Today, on the sets of Super Dancer, we're celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi.
So, say with me.
- Glory to Lord Ganesha! - Salutations! [all]
The essence of success lies in chanting Lord Ganesha's name.
- Glory to Lord Ganesha! - Salutations! [all]
- Welcome to Super Dancer Chapter... - 5!
Judges, the winds of change blew this week
and the super gurus have been interchanged!
Today, every super dancer will dance
with a super guru belonging to another super dancer.
- Are you excited? - Very.
- How excited? - Very excited.
This week also, the dancer who performs the best
and gets the highest scores
will become this week's Super Monitor
and their mother will become the Queen Mother,
who will get super conveniences.
And the contestant who becomes the Super Monitor and surprises us
will be given a bumper prize by Marzi!
[applause]
Yay!
Whoa!
[Geeta] Oh, wow!
It's Ganesh Chaturthi
and there couldn't have been a better gift for the mothers!
- Marzi, I mean it. - Thank you.
Let's call upon our first super dancer.
Presenting her mother's favourite,
the responsible girl, Apsara Boro,
with super guru Pratik.
- Glory to Lord Ganesha! - Salutations!
Hail the embodiment of auspiciousness!
Hail the Lord! [all]
[applause]
'Before embarking on any good deed,'
'we chant Lord Ganesha's name.'
'And every time evil made its presence on earth felt,'
'He took eight forms or incarnations to destroy those demons.'
'He destroyed Matsarasura'
'as the incarnation Vakratunda.'
[devotional song playing]
[whooping]
'He destroyed Madasura as the incarnation Ekadanta.'
'As the incarnation Mahodara, He destroyed Mohasura.'
'His incarnation Gajanana took down the demon Lobhasura.'
'Salutations to Lord Ganesha.'
[upbeat music playing]
Ah!
'Ganesha took the form of Lambodara to annihilate the demon Krodhasura.'
'As Vikata, Ganesha defeated Kamasura.'
'To destroy the demon Mamasura in a historic battle,'
'He took the form of Vighnaraja.'
- [Geeta] Ah, lovely. - [Shilpa] Wow.
Lovely!
'Coming to the last and eighth incarnation.'
'Characterized by a smoky complexion,'
'He defeated the demon Ahamkarasura who embodied ego and pride,'
'as the incarnation Dhumravarna.'
[song continues]
[Geeta] Ah, lovely.
[song concludes]
[trumpeting]
[conch blowing]
[whooping and applause]
- Glory to Lord Ganesha! - Salutations! [all]
Hail the embodiment of auspiciousness!
Hail the Lord!
[conch blowing]
How was it working with him? We witnessed it.
It felt good to dance with Pratik and I had a lot of fun.
- Pankaj is a little quiet. - Quiet!
And Pratik isn't quiet!
Pratik and I talk and have a lot of fun during rehearsal.
- Oh! - It was a lot of fun.
Hmm. So, Pankaj is out. Is Pratik okay with you?
- No. - No!
- Back to Pankaj? - Yes.
Barkat is fine with it.
- No, Barkat? No! - [laughter]
Do you want Pratik?
She hails from a medical family and likes needle-thin people.
[applause]
I've loved it.
I found some things to be quite exceptional
and liked how beautifully it was executed.
The opening where you carried her on your head
and the way the shape formed was beautiful.
You had her turn once on her head,
which I loved.
She took the form of Vighnaraja where she freezes.
Beautiful!
'To destroy the demon, He took the form of Vighnaraja.'
Pratik!
In this dance form,
you tried to portray the many forms of Lord Ganesha.
During the act, I saw another form.
I saw a different side of Apsara...
- Wow. - Which was beautiful.
- Apsara... - Thank you, ma'am.
There was a section of martial arts also.
There were some very beautiful bits over here.
The battle.
Yes! I loved that.
It was different.
I loved how you presented this act.
[applause]
Greetings, Mrs. Boro.
How was it?
I loved Apsara's performance.
Apsara learned to dance on her own.
She got here with her own hard work.
I really liked it.
- Her Hindi has improved drastically. - Absolutely.
You've learned Hindi.
Do you spend a lot of time with Somansh's mom?
- Yes, ma'am. - Right!
[laughter]
No, ma'am. She's very shy.
From the time she came here,
she has been really worried about her husband.
Tracy's mother taught her how to make video calls.
- Oh, wow. - I, Kanchan 1, teach her Hindi.
Kanchan 2 taught her how to use the phone.
Now, she speaks to her husband on video calls.
Yet she's worried
about how he must be handling things by himself and cooking.
She constantly worries about it.
I didn't know Hindi properly at one time,
but I learned it.
Says who?
[laughter]
You still don't know it!
[laughter continues]
Someone's been teaching you the wrong Hindi!
I dare you to have a confabulation with me!
- Confabulation! - Whoa!
I will
flabbergast you!
Whoa!
The ground beneath your feet will tremble.
What!
[laughter]
I'm gobsmacked.
What's that?
[laughs]
She said 'gobslacked'.
- Gobsmacked! - Smacked.
Gobsmacked!
Shilpa, I don't know such esoteric words!
- Good heavens! Applause! - Whoa! Esoteric!
The great movement director deserves a big hand.
He's asking, "Who?"
[laughter]
You're the movement director.
[laughter]
The scores have been given. All the best.
So, presenting the little star with 2.5 million followers.
Looking at who everyone says,
"If I have a daughter, she should be like Barkat."
Barkat Arora with super guru Anuradha this time.
Oh, wow.
[devotional song playing]
- Glory to Lord Ganesha! - Salutations!
- Hi, there. - Hi.
Are you new here?
I'm your neighbour.
- Your parcel was lying outside. - Thank you.
'Especially for you.'
What's inside?
Um, a few photos. I don't know whose.
Show me.
Wow! A teddy bear!
How did that happen?
[unsettling music playing]
A knife!
How is everything in the images coming to life?
I don't know.
What's in this photo?
[Geeta] Nice.
You should not have seen those photos.
[sobs]
[ghoulish music playing]
[eerie song playing]
[Geeta] Nice.
You can't escape the wrath of these photos!
[song continues]
[Geeta] Fantastic!
[piercing shriek]
[Marzi] Hey!
What's this? No... [shakily]
[tremulous breathing]
Hi, there!
[song continues]
[bones cracking]
[Marzi] Hey!
'Especially...'
'For you.'
[song continues]
[Geeta] Wow!
[Shilpa screams]
Hey! What happened? Are you all right?
Look, another image.
[wind whooshing]
Hi, there. Are you new here?
Your parcel was lying outside.
Thank you.
What's inside?
[Shilpa] Good Lord!
Look at the little one. She's scary.
[screams]
[laughter]
I must say, it didn't feel like a stage act.
I felt I was watching a film.
'Hi, there...'
And that it was just one shot.
[song playing]
Very interesting thought, beautifully choreographed.
My God, and what timing!
Anuradha! I cannot call you just a choreographer.
You are 'director of choreography!'
Thank you so much, ma'am. Thank you.
[applause]
- Barkat! - Yes, ma'am.
Yet again,
you've performed a feat!
- Thank you. - You scared me.
- Thank you. - You're so cute!
I wondered how I'd be scared of you,
but the act was such!
The character just overpowers you.
Take it as a compliment, Barkat,
that you scared me.
Superb, guys. Superb.
- Thank you, ma'am... - Really, well done.
[applause]
To me, this effort,
the choreography, your partnership...
Despite the fact that this week,
we interchanged super gurus,
not for a second did I feel you were out of sync.
- Beautifully done, guys. - Thank you.
To me, this act was way better than just super.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Thank you so much. Thank you...
[applause]
Barkat, I'm seeing this for the first time.
You're always cute, sweet...
"Very dignified dancer, she dances beautifully..."
It's what we usually say,
but after what you did today,
we're all scared.
What was that look in the end?
She is scary.
Look at her. Just look at her right now.
Look how you're looking.
Like a scared cat with hackles...
I've become like that.
I'm scared of you too.
[laughter]
[applause]
- Anuradha! - Yes, ma'am.
Very talented.
- Thank you. - God bless you.
No matter which contestant you work with,
it feels like they've been working with you for a long time.
- Thank you, ma'am. Barkat looks very comfortable.
Is Anuradha good to work with?
Yes, ma'am. Very good.
Then we'll assign her to you.
- Pratik! - No?
Pratik.
Not him, right?
- Anuradha, she looks the best with you. - Correct.
- Okay. - What do I say about the others?
- Dance, don't gawk at me. - Pratik.
There's this girl who keeps staring at me.
The yoga police!
Sukriti!
Yes. She sent me a photo of her eye
and said, "Here. Go home and keep staring."
[laughter]
I want Anu!
[laughter]
We'll see after you and Saumya have performed.
If you do well,
we'll assign Anu back to you.
[applause]
- Barkat is from Delhi. - Okay.
You're in Mumbai this time.
Did you notice any difference
in how Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated in Delhi and Mumbai?
Yes, I did notice it, but can I get my specs first?
My baby.
So sweet!
- She's so cute. - You should've seen her smile.
Yes.
In Delhi, on Ganesh Chaturthi,
we perform a 'puja' in school.
We perform a 'puja' even at the hospital.
- We make 'modaks' and distribute them to everyone. - Really!
- In Delhi? - Yes.
But when I came to Mumbai, I witnessed Ganesh Chaturthi here.
I saw huge trucks bringing Lord Ganesha's idols
and they were decorated with flowers.
They played the drums loudly.
Everyone was dancing on the streets with gusto.
It's so much fun to watch.
- I had the urge to dance. - Very good.
I brought something for you.
- What? - Yes.
Show us, give it here.
Oh, my! Ganesha!
Wow, a small Ganapati idol.
So beautiful.
I made it.
- You made it! - Yes.
- Wow. - I want to see. How did you make it?
They teach clay art at my school.
Mom ordered clay for me and I made this.
[devotional song playing]
- I want this. - So talented.
- It's so cute! - Yes.
Place this small idol next to the big Ganesha idol.
We will immerse this along with the big idol.
So cute! She has made it beautifully.
[applause]
Barkat, do you know why we offer
only 21 'modaks' to Lord Ganesha and not 22?
A long time ago, there were two demons.
Devanataka and Narantaka.
Narantaka means the destroyer of men
and Devanataka means the destroyer of Gods.
Both these demons were evil.
They underwent penance and took the powers of all the Gods.
Just as Lord Krishna took a form to kill Kans
and Lord Rama took a form to kill Ravana,
similarly, Lord Ganesha took
the form of Vinayaka to destroy Devanataka and Narantaka.
[Marzi] Wow.
It was Him with 20 soldiers. So, that makes 21.
Every time 'modaks' are offered to Him during a 'puja',
Lord Ganesha has one
and 20 are for his 'gana' or divine attendants.
Wow.
Well done, Barkat.
Very nice.
- Not many people know this at her age. - Yes.
It's surprising.
[applause]
- Amazing, Barkat. - Thank you, ma'am.
A big round of applause for her.
[applause]
Presenting the cutie who finds everyone else a liar!
The honest boy Jackie,
with super guru Pratiksha this time.
[applause]
[music playing]
- Glory to Lord Ganesha! - Salutations!
It's very crowded today as well.
Will we get to seek Lord Ganesha's blessings today?
Yes, Chintu. We definitely will.
Had Lord Ganesha been here today, what would He have expected of us?
What do we do so that He is appeased and gives us His blessing?
Hmm.
That's a really difficult question, Chintu.
But had Lord Ganesha been here,
He'd have said...
[song playing]
"Chintu, it's too crowded."
"We might not get 'darsana' today. Let's go home."
"Without 'darsana'? All right, Didi."
- [thunder rumbling] - [conch shell playing]
"Will you leave my temple"
"without meeting me?"
"Bappa, is it You? Can You hear us?"
- [conch shell playing] - [devotional song playing]
- [Shilpa] Woo-hoo! - [conch shell playing]
[conch shell playing]
"Yes, I've appeared for devotees like both of you."
"Chintu, I know you're full of questions."
"Please ask me."
"Bappa, if I stay hungry all day for You,"
"will that make You happy?"
[chuckling]
"Chintu, only genuine emotions impress me."
"Only true devotion makes me happy."
[song playing]
[Geeta] Wonderful!
[Geeta] Well done!
- [Shilpa] Nice! - "Chintu, did you get all the answers?"
"Yes, Bappa!"
"There's one more thing that makes me happy."
"I know, Bappa."
"Drums beating and everyone rejoicing."
"Come on, play it!"
- [drums beating] - [conch shell playing]
[Marzi] Woo-hoo!
[Shilpa] Whoa!
[devotional song playing]
"Ganapati Bappa, please bless us!"
- [Paritosh] Ganapati Bappa! - [Geeta] Anish was very good.
- [Paritosh] Mangalmurti... - [Audience] Please bless us!
Anish surprised us today.
[song playing]
We are now used to it.
Whenever we think
of Bappa or His festival,
we automatically think of celebration.
We should have drums,
plenty of dance, and that surge of energy.
However, we can't overlook
the lesson in this act.
There's a thought behind it
and I loved it, Pratiksha.
- Um... - Thank you, ma'am.
We must realise
that the offerings for Bappa
are not about the money,
the food, or the dance.
- Emotions and devotion. - Faith and emotions matter.
Your act taught me that today,
so thank you very much.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Thank you, ma'am.
Anish.
- Yes, ma'am. - Son, you danced wholeheartedly.
[song playing]
On the first day, I thought you danced with a blank expression.
You lacked emotion,
but maybe due to Bappa's blessings,
today I saw both emotion and dance in your act.
Thank you, ma'am.
[Geeta] May God bless you.
I think swapping the gurus was a great idea.
I think it should happen more often.
It has helped the children
uncover their hidden skills.
- Correct! - Otherwise, they were repeating the same thing.
'Ghar ki murgi dal bar a bar!'
- What did you say? - 'Ghal ki mulgi dal balabal!'
[laughter]
- I'll come back to you. - Yes.
- Jackie. - Yes, ma'am.
'Yes, ma'am.'
- Am I a "ma'am"? - It was just a slip of the tongue.
- Huh? - "It was a slip of the tongue".
It was just a slip of the tongue.
You've only done fun dancing
in all your acts until now.
For the first time, you've performed a concept-based act,
and it was serious dancing. I loved it.
[devotional song playing]
I saw a different side of your personality today.
Anish, very nice. I loved the act.
- [Geeta] Yay! Well done! - Thank you so much.
Thank you, sir.
- Jackie. - Yes, ma'am.
You danced with all your heart.
[devotional music playing]
Kabir always speaks the truth,
and we saw it in your dance today.
I think your act, your dance,
and your dedication were way better than just super.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Truly beautifully done.
Thank you, ma'am.
- Mama Ji, I have a question. - [Paritosh] Please go on.
What do you think?
[laughter]
- How did you find Anish's act? - Greetings, ma'am and sir.
- Greetings! - Well done.
Mama Ji caught me eating something,
and ever since, he has been mocking me in every episode.
- What were you eating? - He has made you famous.
Ma'am, I was eating aniseeds. All the mothers were eating them too.
- They offered some to me. - But we eat only a small amount.
- We saw you twice. Twice! - No, ma'am. Just once.
Please check her mouth. I think she has 27 teeth.
- "27!" - She ate the other five, mistaking them for betel nuts.
[laughter]
Please comment on his dance.
He tried a new dance style this time,
with a new guru.
Ms. Pratiksha choreographed him,
and she did a good job.
[audience cheering, applauding]
Jackie, how was it working with Pratiksha?
My experience with her was wonderful.
[howling]
Does she lie?
She's an incurable liar.
[laughter]
[cackling]
His mother and Rupesh often complain
that he's mischievous,
lies, and pulls pranks.
Actually, it's true.
Earlier, I thought he was a cute and innocent child, but that's not true.
He's too naughty.
Actually, I have a good rapport with Aadhyashree.
She rehearses sincerely
and is always present during rehearsals,
while he just sits back, relaxing.
He remains busy with something.
I request him to come. "Anish, let's rehearse".
He hides the speakers.
"I'll have my way!"
Her assistants hide the speakers.
"Don't you dare open your mouth!"
"Stay silent! Don't utter a word!"
The assistants will be caught today.
- He just accused the assistants. - Yes.
Do you think she's lying again?
- Yes. - "Yes!"
Please expose her today.
Everything she just said
was all lies.
I want to tell you something more.
You must have noticed the lift during the crescendo.
Our call time was around 8 am.
We were drowsy and I said, "Anish, let's do this lift".
When we did the lift, he farted on my face.
[farting]
[laughter]
Ma'am, he woke me up, and my sunscreen must have burned.
It was such a dangerous fart.
"My sunscreen burned!"
I said, "Anish, get down", but he refused.
He said, "ma'am, you must have farted, and that's what's smelling".
- Yes, it was her. - Huh.
[comical song playing]
- Anish, you must have farted. - No!
If ma'am says so, then it was you.
Neither of us farted. You did.
[comical music playing]
Rupesh came into my van last week.
Rupesh told me, "I can't tolerate this boy".
- [gasps] - "I don't want to train him."
He said, "sir, Jackie doesn't listen to me.
He lies all the time."
I have an idea.
Henceforth, we won't pair you with Rupesh.
We'll swap you.
No, I want to pair up with Rupesh.
Yes, sir. Please swap him. I'm tired of him.
[foreboding music plays]
No, Rupesh! Rupesh, stay there!
I want Rupesh.
Aw!
Everyone lies about you, and you're the only one who's honest.
[comical music playing]
Why are you nodding while crying?
Son, please answer. I'll wipe away your tears.
[laughter]
I want Rupesh.
- But he's a liar. - No.
Please decide. Either you're a liar or Rupesh.
Both!
[Geeta] Neither of them is honest.
If both are lying, who's telling the truth?
[Marzi] Let me tell you the truth.
- [Geeta] Now, he'll answer. - [Marzi] The truth is...
I can also lie like you.
He'll continue to be your partner.
[comical song playing]
Go and kiss him. You may do anything you want.
I didn't say that. He's joking.
No, he did!
Rupesh doesn't even recognise your van.
[laughter]
The van is marked with my name, and he can read English!
- It's printed upside down. - [Shilpa] "Upside down!"
- Even I read it. - [Geeta] He's really cute.
I made you cry. Did you like it?
Let's rock out!
Did you like it?
Mama Ji also makes you cry.
[comical song playing]
Mama...
You joked with him for just two minutes,
and this child became all serious.
- This is the bond the gurus share with the children. - [Geeta] Right.
And the children treat their gurus like older brothers or friends.
This is one such platform.
We always maintain that you may learn social skills elsewhere,
but here, you learn how to collaborate.
- [Geeta] Well said! - [Shilpa] Right.
[audience cheering, applauding]
Presenting the star of Satara, Aditi Jadhav, with her super guru,
Subhranil!
[laughter]
[devotional music playing]
[devotional song playing]
"- Ganapati Bappa! - Please bless us!"
"Yes! You lost again."
"Now, you must do as I say."
"All right, I lost."
"What do you want me to do?"
"You must befriend the first person"
"who enters our building."
"Um, all right."
"Look! Somebody's there. All the best!"
[footsteps approaching]
"Hi! I'm Shubho."
"Flat number 101."
"Will you be my friend?"
"Friendship? I have a condition."
"Please take my bags to flat number 1501."
"Uh... Sure, why not?"
"I'll take them."
[laughter]
[song playing]
Ah!
[song playing]
[Geeta] Aha!
[song playing]
[Shilpa] Well done!
Oh, drag!
[background music]
[Marzi] Aha!
"Are we friends now?"
[song playing]
[Geeta] Wonderful!
[audience cheering, applauding]
Nice!
[Shilpa] Woo-hoo!
"Are we friends?"
"Um, friends!"
[background music]
[song playing]
Fabulous!
[song playing]
Aha!
Wow!
[audience cheering, applauding]
So good, Subhranil!
[Paritosh] Please come back.
The three of us look like a basket full of mangoes.
[laughter]
I think we've travelled to Ratnagiri instead of Satara.
How was your experience working with Saumya
and Subhranil?
I had a great time with Subhranil.
We had fun.
Sir remains serious most of the time.
He was very quiet during the rehearsals.
Even Saumya is quiet, isn't she?
No, she jokes around with me.
- Really? - Yes, she does when we practise.
[laughter]
I missed Saumya during the rehearsals. I missed her a lot.
[Geeta] Oh, my!
Whenever I gave her a break,
she would run to Saumya's room.
- This means you didn't really enjoy practising with Subhranil. - I did.
- [Geeta] Did you? - He helped me, too. Yes, it's true.
Actually, I want to say something about Aditi.
Whenever I see her acts, she appears like a little heroine.
Yes.
[song playing]
I believe she will work in films when she grows up
because she has such charming mannerisms.
[song playing]
- I liked the way she descended. - [Shilpa] Yes.
She descended the stage so gracefully,
and then she did this so cutely.
Shubh, I loved that section.
The trumpet section performance that took place on the stairs.
- Beautifully done! - [Marzi] Yes.
[trumpet blowing]
- She moved her stomach while lying down. - [Geeta] Yes!
It was so cool! Even that!
- She's cool. - Those are the nuances.
- Baby, show it again. - Just like Paritosh does.
[Geeta] It was exactly like he does it.
- Aditi, you danced superbly. - [Geeta] Whoa!
You were sharp, and there's an antithesis,
she was as smooth as butter.
[Geeta] Correct! Very well done!
She was very aware at every step.
Lip-syncing is important.
[song playing]
I'm so happy to see the children lip-syncing
in this chapter.
- [Geeta] Yes. - [Paritosh] That's great.
Right? Well done, children!
I think
both of you make a perfect pair today.
- Thank you. - I genuinely want to do this for you.
- Thank you so much. - Wonderful!
- For Subhranil and Aditi. - [Geeta] Yes!
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you so much.
Two is even better.
- And three... - Three is the best!
- [Paritosh] Awesome! - Thank you, ma'am!
[theme song playing]
You've scored a perfect 30 out of 30! Well done!
When Bengali women wear traditional attire,
we realise that Navaratri has begun.
Similarly, when Maharashtrian women deck out,
it signifies the beginning of the Ganapati festival.
"Ganapati Bappa, please bless us!'
- You can see the celebration here. - [Geeta] Well said.
Greetings, ma'am.
Greetings! Greetings, ma'am and sir.
Since Bappa has come to every house today,
I pray that He always blesses her,
and that she continues winning hearts.
[Geeta] Well said!
She just mentioned Bappa.
You must be celebrating this festival
in Satara with grandeur.
Mammoth Ganapati idols
are worshipped and decorated in Karad, Satara.
We visit the neighbourhood houses every day,
perform 'arti', and enjoy the offerings.
We also welcome Gauri Ganapati
every year for two days.
- Wonderful! - I prepare 'ukadiche modak' for everyone each year.
[Geeta] Do you?
Yes, my mom does.
Whenever I make 'modaks' during the festival,
Aditi always helps me.
- Can you make 'modaks'? - [Aparna] Yes.
Wow! But did you make them this year too?
I did prepare some and brought some.
- [Paritosh] Didi! - 'Ukadiche modak'!
Please give 'ukadiche modaks' to us poor judges.
[laughter]
Vaibhav, why did you stand up? Please be seated.
You won't get this.
Oh, my!
- Please give these to me. - No!
Lovely!
[drums beating]
'Ukadiche modak'!
[Paritosh] Please take these as offerings.
- [Paritosh] These are just offerings. - No!
- These are yummy. - [Paritosh] What about the others?
[Paritosh] Let's go on strike! This is not done!
Oh, no!
Please give us 'modaks'! Come on, sit!
- Go on! - Please go there! Why are you coming here? Go there!
- 'Modak'! - 'Modak'!
[song playing]
First, give them to children!
Let me feed Mama Ji first.
[laughter]
Come on!
Here you are! Hey!
[laughter]
There are so many of us. Please, distribute these among yourselves.
[laughter]
How did you get three?
Sometimes, I steal.
You...
I know what you like. You won't eat a 'modak'.
[laughter]
Your betel nut... Here you are.
[laughter]
Wonderful! Thank you so much!
- [Paritosh] Thank you, Didi! - [Geeta] Thank you!
- [Geeta] Thank you! We loved it! - Thank you!
Is that all? What else do you do?
We celebrate the Mangalagaur festival every year.
Oh, really?
During the Mangalagaur festival, all married women gather.
- [Geeta] Okay. - A special Mangalagaur dance is performed.
There is dance and 'fugadi'.
- There are a lot of things. - Do you participate in it?
Yes, I do. I have a request.
- I want to perform Mangala Gauri with all the mothers. - Amazing!
- All of you, please come on stage. - Please.
[applauding]
They're all looking so cute
- in nauvari. - Somansh's mom!
I didn't see that.
You look good.
[music playing]
Wow!
[song playing]
[cheering]
Lovely!

Amazing!

- Amazing! Too good! - Wow!
Brilliant!

Mind-blowing!
[song playing]
Every state is on stage. Beautiful! This is...
- Wow! - This is a celebration.
The whole of India is on stage.
[song playing]
I must say this for your dance performance.
- This performance was way better than just super. - Wow!
- Lovely! - Brilliant!
I never thought that I would get to learn
a new form of dance.
I never imagined that I will dance
in this beautiful nauvari sari.
- Thank you! - When you go back, teach this to your friends.
- Yes, I will. - Right?
Continue preserving and spreading our culture
so that the coming generations can learn.
Thank you, everyone.
[audience applauding]
Festivals are celebrated all over the world.
But today we talk about the one that's like a mini India.
Lovely!
Vasant Vihar!
- Okay! - Vasant Vihar in Mulund.
Where are... Welcome!
[audience applauding]
It's their turn this week.
- They pick a chit, right? - You are right!
And one more wonderful thing we learned
is that they've been bringing
Lord Ganesha for the last 25 years.
They completed 25 years.
[audience applauding and cheering]
Our Super Dancer got a chance
to visit Vasant Vihar.
They enjoyed a lot there and had fun.
- One, two, three, four! - Glory to Lord Ganesh!
- Four, five, six, seven. - Lord Ganesha is with us.
[music playing]
I am at Namish's society
to seek Lord Ganesha's blessing.
[music playing]
This is the first time in my life that I am celebrating this festival.
I had a lot of fun.
[song playing]
'A lot of them clicked selfies with us.'
We ate a lot of holy offerings.
[crackers bursting]
We lit up a lot of crackers.
I prayed to God that my mom recovers quickly
and comes here to see me perform.
[music playing]
I am happy that my friends
came here to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi in my society.
People from my society are also feeling proud.
[music playing]
The children who came here for Ganapati
have added so much joy in Vasant Vihar.
They made everyone dance.
This Ganesh Chaturthi will be remembered by all of us.
Thanks to the children from Super Dancer,
this year's Ganesh Chaturthi was even more special.
- Glory to... - Lord Ganesha! [all]
- Wow, that's amazing. - Well done.
How did you like it?
Tell us about your arrangement. You didn't invite me.
Tell me!
This year, we celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi with great joy.
For the past 25 years,
we've been celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi in Vasant Vihar.
One generation comes, another goes.
This year it's us, and in a few years, Namish and his friends
will be the ones organising the entire Ganesh Chaturthi event.
Wow!
Oh! I can see something there.
Ma'am, don't talk, just walk.
Don't talk, just walk.
[laughing]
- This is... - Hey! You stay away.
[laughing]
It seems as though 25 years of modaks came together at once.
Uncle, join us.
We don't trust this man.
- Mom, I love you! - Who is 'mom' here?
- She is not a mom. - I am not a mom.
I am 22 years old.
- She is nobody's mom! - Oh! She's not.
[laughing]
Let me break it for you. You are breaking it.
Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to you.
[laughing]
All of you stop staring at me.
People from Vasant Vihar, you brought this.
- It makes sense if you finish it off. - We want it!
- Stop! Excuse me! - We want it. [all]
- Hey! - Give it to us too! [all]
[laughing]
So sweet...
Thank you for the holy offering.
For the Guru Ki Adla Badli special,
presenting the talented girl from Meerut,
young and fearless Kavya.
And this time, her Super Guru is...
This is him!
- Pankaj? - Thapa.
Okay!
[applause]
[song playing]
Wow!
- What a song! - Love this song.
[music playing]
Nice!
Wow!
Lovely!
Ah!
Oh my God!
Whoa!
- Lovely! - Oh!
- Lovely! - Wow!
[music playing]
Oh!
Oh my!
Nice!
[song playing]
Nice! Whoa!
Hey!
Aww!
Wow!
Nice!
[cheering]
[song playing]
[cheering]
[audience applauding and cheering]
[song playing]
Wow!
- Sweet! - That was impressive!
He is such a clever choreographer.
She is Vartika's fan.
She used to always team up with Vartika.
And then, for a change, she teams up with Vaishnavi.
She is performing with Pankaj Thapa for the first time.
How was your experience with him?
My experience with Pankaj Thapa was good.
And...
Pankaj... Pankaj Thapa.
Call him 'sir'.
He is not me to not give him respect.
[laughing]
Sir takes good care of me. We have fun together.
If I don't know any step,
he teaches me really nicely.
Kavya has always done energetic dance forms like hip hop.
For the first time, she performed a dance
that demands softness, calmness and feeling.
She found it difficult, as it was her first time.
- But she managed to do it. So, thank you so much. - Yes.
[laughing]
At the age of six,
he is her third Super Guru.
Oh my!
But she is special because she adapted to all three.
- Correct! - She does anything you ask her to do.
Kavya, very good.
You stood on his leg and danced. That was beautiful.
[song playing]
Pankaj, very well choreographed.
- Thank you, sir. - You truly know how to choreograph children
and make them stand out.
- Amazing! - Thank you so much.
This round is always my favourite.
And I feel it comes only once in a season.
But I think it should come more often.
Swapping gurus
or swapping children,
helps children learn a lot.
- To... They are already being prepared for the future. - Yes.
- Of course! - When you are out there,
you are the only one, Kavya, who has the experience to work with others.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Am I right?
I liked the act. Well done, Kavya.
Thank you, ma'am.
Lyrical is very hard to do.
It required a lot of practice and consistency.
Kavya, you worked really hard.
I salute your hard work.
You did a great job.
- Well done! Great teamwork. - Thank you, ma'am.
- Lovely! - Thank you, ma'am.
[music playing]
For an extra dose of entertainment,
here's Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor.
[song playing]
Sidharth, congratulations on becoming a dad.
Thank you! Thank you so much.
- Thank you! - Welcome to this side of life.
[song playing]
That's what we call a show-stealing performance.
[song playing]
[whistling]
Mrs. Shilpa!
I wipe away the ink and write every emotion in blood.
Oh!
- I spend the nights penning the pain of my days. - Lovely!
People think my poetry is for the world.
But whenever I write, it is only about her.
[audience applauding and cheering]
Thank you for applauding, guys!
Everyone is trying to improve or learning something.
Marzi is learning.
- Only he knows what he's learning. - What am I learning?
- Something! You are learning something. - Hindi.
You ask me to dance
or do yoga.
It's been five seasons, but I haven't
- managed to impress Mrs. Shilpa. Today... - Today?
What hasn't happened in Super Dancer 1, 2,
3 and 4 will happen in 5.
Today, I will dance.
Music!
[audience applauding and cheering]
[music playing]
[laughing]
[upbeat music playing]
[laughing]
Superb!
[whistling]
[chanting]
[laughing]
- Uncle! - Superb!
[audience applauding and cheering]
[laughing]
Oh my!
You should cover your face.
[laughing]
Uncle, I am
going to do
what I've not done
in Super Dancer
2, 3 and 4.
Your entertainment
was way better than just super.
[vocalisation]
Brilliant!
- Uncle! - Oh my!
[cheering]
- Uncle, the episode is still not over. - Uncle!
- Uncle! - Why did you turn into a snake?
[laughing]
What yoga can't do
can be done by giving a bad dance performance.
[laughing]
The pipe has come off.
[laughing]
That's fine. Tell me!
[laughing]
What's going on?
I heard that you gradually ate your tongue.
And tell me.
The doctor will check. Open your mouth.
[laughing]
- Wow! - Thank you so much, guys! Yes!
For an extra dose of entertainment,
here's Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor.
'I want to become the first heroine

Yeah!

[song fades]
Lord Ganesha is everywhere.
But the greatest of all is Lalbaugcha Raja.
People from all over go there to make wishes.
They say every wish made there comes true.
So let's hear the story of the Lalbaugcha Raja idol,
straight from the sculptors themselves.
[music playing]
Greetings, I am Santosh Ratnakar Kambli.
My name is Ratnakar Madhusudan Kambli.
[conch playing]
We make Lalbaugcha Raja,
the most famous Bappa in the world.
Our family has been serving Bappa for the past 92 years.
Wow!
[devotional song playing]
My grandfather is Madhusudan Dhonduji Kambli.
We started making the Lord's idol in 1935.
After that, my elder uncle, Vyanktesh Kambli,
continued the service.
Since 2002, my father and I
have been serving the Raja.
When we begin making the Raja,
we venerate the sacred clay.
From that moment, it takes nearly
one and a half to two months to complete Bappa.
You must've noticed that Raja's pose always remains unchanged.
Only the throne is given a new design each year.
Our artwork has been guided fully by the story.
The form is human,
the face is that of an elephant. The privilege of creating
Bappa's eyes belongs to my dad.
[devotional song playing]
You must've noticed that whoever gazes upon Bappa
feels that He is looking back at them.
That's all thanks to my dad.
It's by the will of God that Dad has been able to serve Bappa.
[devotional song playing]
On behalf of the Kambli family,
I extend heartfelt wishes to the children of Super Dancer Chapter 5.
[devotional song playing]
- Lovely! - Amazing!
- Glory to... - Lord Ganesha! [all]
- Glory to... - The divine! [all]
I have been visiting Lalbaugcha Raja
for around 25 years.
I had decided that when I got married,
I would bring his idol into my own home.
- So the idol of Lalbaugcha Raja that comes to my house... - Yes.
Our very own little Lalbaugcha Raja.
It is sculpted by Mr. Santosh.
[applauding and cheering]
Yes, he comes home. It's all his will.
- He decides where to go. - Yes!
I am still at it because I have his blessings.
[applauding and cheering]
