savchenko/szolkowy - asoka
pretty boring tbh. not many references to the movie/bollywood in general in the choreo. the costumes also seemed random? i haven’t seen the movie but no one in the trailer dressed like this. the only reference to the movie was aljona’s makeup

davis/white - bollywood
choreo was fine & the costumes were authentic. just way too many music cuts, they should’ve just used music from devdas (they already used 2 songs from it). not sure if u can consider this a folk dance since it’s just a mashup of bollywood songs

i can’t really tell what the music was but the choreo was nice! also her costume looks plain in this low quality video, but in pictures it’s pretty! and the jewelry is also wonderful.
10/10 (giving this to any indian skater

heritage/fast - bollywood
his costume is giving aladdin and hers is a bizarre colour. the choreo is okay but the song references a candle & i wish that would’ve showed thru in the choreo (same with d/w who also skated to this song).

ok this one made me laugh. the costume is not really indian at all?? also, other than some arm movements, there’s not much bollywood choreo either. atleast she tried? idk

ravi why would you allow this :/ you can tell a white dude choreographed this with all the generic hand choreo. costume is okay, could be better tho.

volosozhar/trankov - nagada sang dhol
probably the best bollywood program done by white people imo. the costumes are great, the choreo is really wonderful and fits the music really well. i like how they stuck to one song!

kazuki tomono - devdas/muthu
i’m confused at combining devdas w/ a tamil film? both songs have opposite energies. also his costume is confusing, is it referencing 1 of the characters? pretty empty choreo. starting to think singles skaters especially can’t do bollywood
