Dance India Dance is a dance contest that appears on Zee TV, now for 2 seasons. It is one of the few shows (like Indian Idol on Sony) that gives a chance to normal people to show off their skills, in this case, their Dance skills (and in fact, there is no other show that allows ordinary people to show off their dancing skills). It has become fairly popular, attracting a huge amount of attention and ensuring that contestants spend a lot of time preparing for the show, showing dancing skills that are incredible. Now, when you look at some of the finalists, they seem as good as people you see in the movies, and prepare some incredible acts.
Dance India Dance has had a number of celebrity guests such as: Salman Khan, Dia Mirza, Amitabh Bachchan, Vivek Oberoi, Govinda Ahuja, Helen, Arshad Warsi, Jeetendra, Boman Irani, Ritesh Deshmukh, with the judges being Terence Lewis, Remo D’Souza and Geeta Kapur. In addition, Mithun Chakraborty is the Grandmaster of the show, and even has veto powers to use once in the show to change a decision.
After a lot of steps, the last 4 finalists were:
Shakti Mohan, 24 (Mumbai)
Dharmesh Yelande, 27 (Vadodara)
Punit Pathak, 23 (Mumbai)
Binny Sharma, 22 (Ahmedabad)
The final was a long affair (and maybe the show organizers should ensure that the finals should never be so long that they lose the attention of viewers. We started watching the program, but lost interest midway and switched on again only at the end).

Hindi Serial – Dance India Dance – Remo engraves tattoo in Saddi Dilli – Visit to Delhi
On April 09, 2010 in Dance, Dance India Dance, Hindi Serial, Reality Show, TV, Zee
Mentor and Choreographer Remo D’Souza gets a “JESUS” tattoo inked on his right forearm while he was in town for the DID L’il Masters auditions. The choreographer, who is fond of tattoos was enthralled after he saw a crew member coming to sets after getting a tattoo done. He couldn’t stop himself to visit “Devilz Tattooz” in south delhi and get one done. On this Remo says, “Things close to me, I get them inked on me. I have already three tattoos on me and this one will take the count to four.” He adds, “Lokesh is one of the famous tattoo makers in the country and I am planning to get one more done on my left arm in my next visit.” Geeta Kapoor who was also in town was supposed to join Remo however she was quite scared of the pain. The crew members tried to convince her but all in vain, though she promised that when she comes next, then will get it done.
Delhi, which is not used to celebrity galore in our regular markets unlike Mumbai, so when Remo with his wife Lizelle entered M Block, Greater Kailash-1, everyone were amazed to see their favorite master cum choreographer & started pulling Remo to get a snap clicked. One young lady from behind, who was unable to reach due to huge crowd which guarded him, was shouting- “Remo I Love you”. Remo too much of female fans it seems… Lizelle you listening…
Gabbar’s Birthday surprise – Master Remo D’souza gets a shock of his life on the eve of his birthday…!!
On April 02, 2010 in Dance, Dance India Dance, Hindi Serial, Reality Show, TV, Zee
Come 5th April and the much celebrated bollywood choreographer and Master of Lux Dance India Dance Remo D’souza will turn a year older. And the Lux Dance India Dance crew had all the tricks up their sleeves to drop a bombshell on him!! Firstly, it was Grandmaster Mithun da’s unusual gift which had him totally awestruck! Remo unwrapped the package and to his delight found his old radio set which his parents had given him when he was striving hard to become a budding dancer. His craze for dance was so overpowering that every evening he used to take the radio set to the sea- side and practice dance religiously. Those were days when there weren’t too many opportunities for common people, especially in a small town like Jamnagar. Very few people know that Remo’s original name is ‘ Ramesh Gopi’. The crew played video tapes of friends, neighbors and family from Jamnagar who spoke highly of Remo and the success that he has achieved in his chosen field.
If one recollects, a few weeks back Remo had choreographed a routine on Saajan depicting how kids often forget their parents once they settle down in big cities. Amidst the glitz and glamour of city life, parents and family often take a back seat and are taken for granted. Remo had used this platform to apologize to his parents and spread message to all such kids for who parents have become last priority. In the VT, his sister said that he needn’t apologize for not having done enough for his family. They are extremely proud of him, his work and the success he has achieved in such a short period.
Caught in an emotional rollercoaster, Mithun da gives Remo another bolt from the blue. He goes backstage and gets his parents on the stage. A shell shocked Gabbar who is known for his tough exterior breaks down completely and falls on the stage. Totally overwhelmed he says, “For so many years I have wanted my parents to live with me but never once did they relent. Today DID has made the impossible possible. They were able to convince my parents which even I couldn’t do…. saat janmo tak nahin bhoolonga ye manch…ye pal.. thanks DID”. He touched his parents’ feet and gave a power packed performance which was ‘wow’ to say the least .
