Western Yodhas win DPL!

Western Yodhas have apparently beaten the Central Soormas and the Southern Sizzlers to win the first season of the three-month long international dance competition.

The conclusive episodes of Dance Premier League, produced by Cineyug for Sony, were shot over two days — Monday and Tuesday, at RK Studios, Chembur. Western Yodhas have apparently beaten the Central Soormas and the Southern Sizzlers to win the first season of the three-month long international dance competition.

Our sources inform that the team, lead by choreographers Harshal and Vitthal, lifted the trophy on Tuesday evening amidst several special guests including Shahid Kapoor. The team has also won prize money of Rs 51 lakh. Though Harshal and Vitthal weren’t available for comment, our sources say that the team fought hard to make it to the top.

Choreographer Mini’s Central Soormas and Southern Sizzlers were the first and second runner-up teams. “The winning trophy was handed over by Rani Mukherji and Shiamak Davar, the former Queen of DPL and the latter the umpire. There were several special performances by comedians and other teams to encourage the finalists for the last leg of the show. Hussain (Kuwajerwala) and Mona (Singh), former winners of Nach Baliye and Jhalak Dikhhlaja, put up a brilliant act as the hosts for the evening,” informs an eyewitness from the sets. Rani Mukherji and Shahid Kapoor also danced to their songs from Dil Bole Hadippa and Kapoor’s next, Chance Pe Dance.

Mohammed Morani of Cineyug, the production company which is anchoring the show, says, “I will not confirm the names of the winners. But all the three teams performed excellently. The Western Yodhas didn’t lose a single match through the season. So, their chances are the highest.”

Uttar Ke Puttar missed an entry into the finals when they lost the semi finals last week to Western Yodhas, Central Soormas and Southern Sizzlers. The other teams that eventually lost out at different levels in the series were Eastern Tigers and Desi Pardesi. The latter represented the NRI team and the former the eastern region of the country.
