This was followed by a Salsa performance, 'Bin tere kya hai jeena' and 'Balle Balle'. There was also a breathtaking performance, 'Chamma chamma' that had well designed costumes and amazing body movements. 'Chika pika railu' was another rocking performance. Enriques 'Rhythm Divine' also won good appreciation. Lastly, 'Salamen-ishq', 'Jhoom barabar Jhoom' and 'Rang de Basanti' wrapped up their performances. And then a performance that literally
brought shivers down the spine, your rite! Yes, that's none other than Bishesh's performance. He drove everyone crazy dancing to 'Mehbooba'.
