Jhoome Jo Pathaan

Pathaan

Jhoome jo pathan’s choreography looks deceptively easy. On one hand, its hookstep, which incorporates Shah Rukh Khan’s trademark romantic style, can be enjoyed by all. But as the music reaches a crescendo, the street dance-off moves too roll with the rhythm, shaking up things in their wake.

Lutt Putt Gaya

Dunki

Lutt putt gaya is a song which celebrates the first flush of love. It introduces you to the crazed behaviour of a person experiencing love for the first time in his life. The hook step is kept simple and clean, so it can be replicated by the fans universally. Later on, the variations reign supreme.

Ruel Dausan Varindani

Tere Vaaste Falak

Zara Hatke Zara Bachke

Tere vaaste falak is choreographed like something out of a broadway musicaL. In its own inherent way, it tells you a complete story. You come to know about the passion of the protagonists. It does so without breaking the fourth wall, that’s the beauty of it.

Ganesh Acharya

What Jhumka?

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani

Jhumka gira re, from Mera Saaya (1966), is a hugely popular song even now. So it was a hard ask for dance director Ganesh Acharya to choreograph for a modem iteration for it. He’s known to assemble quirky hooksteps, which are yet simple in execution. That’s what he did with What jhumka? as well. The focus was more on the expressions of the artistes, than their footwork, and the elegant and graceful moments carried the day.

Shobi Paulraj

Zinda Banda

Jawan

Zinda banda is a song which has perhaps hundreds of background dancers and marks SRK as the vigilante supreme. It would have been hard to take stock of everyone and make them execute the same kind of steps smoothly, but Shobi master proved equal to the task.

Best Choreography -

Vaibhavi Merchant

Dhindhora Baje

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani

Vaibhavi Merchant brought out her inner garba dancer as she choreographed this hugely popular song. The fast-paced choreography was steeped in tradition and yet carried modern elements as well, presenting us with the best of both worlds.
