We would like to take a moment to thank our liaison Priya and the entire BBC committee for throwing an amazing competition. We had an insane amount of support from our fans and we could not have done this without them. Thank you, Boston. This performance is dedicated to you.

And to the judges, we understand that the competition had a lot of amazing teams and we acknowledge you had a very difficult decision on your hands. We know we're not an established team in the circuit (this is only our first year and fourth competition). We are truly humbled that you were able to include us in your placings.

★★★★★

EDIT: Same video, new link.

Dear FAUJ-your white groupies are hilarious. I love them.

Watching this performance live, and watching it again on video-I can't but help but think the following.
1) Form and skill level themselves are fantastic. One of the best of the night, easily. Energy could have been a lot better.
2) I liked the face paint!
3) From balcony, the water thing didn't sell. I imagine it sold in the orchestra section, but great performers recognize and cater to each member of the audience.
4) Me, personally, I thought you went TOO deep. Saaps as machine guns... face-punching phumaniya... the intro... too much. Also, from the top I couldn't see anyone smiling-which didn't exactly lighten the mood.

I found the set interesting and intriguing, and definitely place-worthy. But I'm still debating whether it was fun to watch, or if it was too violent for my own personal taste.

Great mix. Anyone know the instrumental to the khunde song?

to me this seemed like so much more of a production, rather than just a bhangra set. there was something just inherently different about it as i watched it. i definitely enjoyed watching it, but wasn't fully satisfied, and was left wanting more from you guys. obviously your talent is unquestionable, and there was a great amount of creativity in the routine, but for some reason i was left feeling unsatisfied. of course you are not dancing for me, and i still think this was an amazing set. i am really looking forward to seeing you guys later in the season. great job!!

Mix/Choreo/Energy ON POINT!

Fauj sets have always been refreshing but this set was amazing and you guys should definitely take it to another comp! The thing I like about this team is their attention to details and it shows in this set. The gimmicks were very strategically placed throughout the set to keep the crowd entertained and the BHANGRA segments were still showcased very well. Aminder and Cherag you guys just took it to another level, Aminder's salute at the last segment was legendary! Yes, there is room for improvement but take this one in boys because you guys just showed the world that you can go toe-to-toe with Elite teams. Much love for the whole team!

10/10
One of the most entertaining, clean, and original sets I've seen.

i agree that a lot of the teams aren't on par with this level of performance but i do believe that the hard work/time/personality put into their sets still makes them very much worth watching.

great performance guys. looking forward to seeing much much more of this team! congrats on the placing too!

should have placed higher then 3rd... i guess if it was some other comp it would have.... nothing to take away from ur dancing/ set.... BUT honestly the MIX was so DEAD GUYS...

Sickk performance! You guys definitely stepped it up a lot! Can't wait to see what you guys have in store for the rest of the season!
