Vicky Kaushal’s slick dance moves in Tauba Tauba from Bad Newz have taken the internet by storm. However, not everyone is feeling too groovy.

The song’s choreographer, Bosco Martis, in a recent interview with India Today, said, “Throughout the internet, most of the attention is diverted towards Vicky... His dancing is possible because of a man who made it happen. Don’t get any wrong ideas here. I am happy about the song’s success, but I shamelessly want to make sure that choreographers, not just me, need to be celebrated, because they bring in that vibe.”

On speaking to the dance fraternity, most of them are inclined to agree. Here’s what they said:

I agree with Bosco; everyone needs to get their due. When these songs are played at events, you start doing the film’s step; that’s the recall value of the song. An actor is as important as the director and the crew. While the actor is celebrated, everyone else needs to be recognized, too.

As a child, I idolized choreographers and looked for their name [in the film’s credit]. Today, in most cases, the choreographer isn’t even tagged on a song’s Insta posts. People don’t know ki yeh gaana kisne kiya hai.

I don’t agree or disagree with Bosco’s statement. It’s about how you feel about the role you played [in making a film]. Art is subjective to an artist and it is all about their perspective.

If there is no hook step in a song, would anyone like it? Not only the song’s steps, a choreographer looks into camera movement, light, direction and everything in between. We plan one song for days. It’s our baby and we raise it.
