Yeah I liked the vardiyan, no vests straight up kurta and chadra.

Also, is that the new style of turlas in India? I noticed the same style in Sarbjit Cheema's jhoomer music video. The sides of the turla aren't tucked in, and instead of rounding it off, its more like a fan.

one two three BOOOO!

I watch this show a lot, and has anyone noticed that the judges have gotten so mean! Naved to be specific, he totally ragged on some girl for answering that Kareena Kapoor was her role model saying she hadn't done anything for the world, and he told some other kid they hadn't practiced enough and the kid's like oh we had exams and Naved's like NO everyone has exams not just you.....they used to be so nice!

Anywho, I always wondered if Bhangra Teams could get on ABDC or America's Got Talent or So You Think You Can Dance...that would be awesome.

Bro Manjot I agree, the tucked ones do look better when they're done properly, really energetic performance though, hands down

hey all...I'm not ruchi or rahul...but I can try to explain that whole situation...lol

Yes it's true that a few of us did attempt to tryout for America's Got Talent (completely just for fun...we weren't planning on going on the show if we made it cuz it was during the time of Blowout 15/Columbia's Tamasha/Final Exams). Unfortunately it didn't go as well as we planned. We had our short routine to a mix of "Remember the Name" and "ABC 123" set and we had reached the venue downtown at like 8am or sumthing crazy early...then we waited...in the cold...with no sweaters...for about four hours...when we finally got inside, they made everyone there (like 500+ people) scream and shout so that they could use it for their show...then they made us wait even MORE...but we were getting a bit irritated and hungry and had to make it back to campus for bhangra practice cuz Blowout was the next weekend...so we just ditched cuz we felt it wasnt worth it to wait so long...was a great experience tho! Started dancing to various teams routines in the middle of the line...it definitely took the attention away from the five or so a-Capella groups that were practicing...goooood tiiimmess! But we also saw a few guys from Boston Bhangra (i think?) there...How'd that go?

That video was awesome! i cracked up when he said his mouth would break if he smiled any larger! lol

haha yea we were there...man if you were there waiting in line i feel for you bro. that line was long as hell...half way through the line some of us left to get ready and came back...that was a crazy experience...I would have to say making the trip and going through the whole process was something i can tell my kids about...

I think we actually made it on TV, not sure someone told me they saw me...does anyone have the first couple of episodes that aired.

Yup Abhishek, that line was killer...but maybe worth another try next year now that we know how it works...

It was kinda funny how we thought we were gonna be the only bhangra team there but when we were searching for food in that god forsaken hall, dheerja and I were riding up the escalator and spotted ruchi talking to someone below who had a lungi on...we got super confused/excited and ran down the upward-going escalator...hahaha

I was curious about the show and checked it out...you can see a clip of Boston Bhangra cheering in the crowd at around 7 mins...awesome stuff!
