I like pure dance act.Which is full on dance.Without any special effects to cover some shortcomings.So I am also looking forward to Shantanu's act .

Bhawna isn't a fool to give Naagin theme to their act...
It's because of Rangeela's "special treatment" that they had to pick such a difficult dance form in 2nd week, which isn't a wise decision from any angle...

LOL so another victim of rangeela after helly being given an unsuitable choreo. Poor arjun. 😆

Spot on with the review although I did not like Harpal tbh. He just CANNOT dance. Period.

Salman has always been good but can we plz get something else from him? He's done the same type of dance with Drashti n Lauren before.

I loved Shakti's act.He looked like a pro with those smooth lifts n transitions.

Karishma is a good dancer n already a dance reality show finalist...just don't annoy us further with your drama plz! Her personality n public image puts me off her but I hope this time she will let her work speak for herself.

Same case with Nora...a good dancer but way too fake. She has potential, just stop with the nautanki n ott behaviour n you'll be likeable.

Well Arjun did try...a marked improvement from his last act. He is a little stiff but I'm sure he'll get over it in time. If Vivian n Sidharth could make it, he can too.

As for the twins, they are the most underrated contestants this season. Having said that, I totally agree with kjo that they lacked energy this time around. They are technically very sound but that finesse in the execution is lacking.

Loved Shan (my fav) n Suvreen in the precap. Sanam has always been one of my fav dancers n he's taking suvreen to the right track. Jai really needs to take a more methodical approach...his choreography seems way too random. I'll reserve my comments abt Sid till I watch him.

And Chutki...thank god we'll have to tolerate that caricature for just one more epi...these drag queens get on my nerves n now Rangeela is hell bent on shoving them forcefully down our throats.

😡😡😡

As for Jackie, she is cute n likeable but SO NOT JUDGE MATERIAL.

She seems more of a fangirl with her juvenile tactics...I miss Shahid, he got the technical aspects spot on n delivered suggestions with such politeness n tact.

lLet's see what Farah brings to the table...I'm not up for any more tomfoolery involving Manish. kjo n Farah.

Finished watching JDJ9 W2 last night and blaahhh.

Jackie is not a great judge. Maybe she'll improve over the course of the show, but what's with hiring non-Hindi speakers as a judge? Lauren and Jackie both have that language barrier, and while Jackie speaks better Hindi than Lauren, Lauren is an actual dancer and had more advice to give, but I'm not sure how 'effective' she was given that JDJR wanted to let the non-English speaking audience (which is clearly the minority) understand, so she had to fumble to choose specific words and occasionally tried speaking Hindi. It doesn't come off very good when the entire show is spoken in Hindi, and then boom - English speaking judge because it puts the English speaking judge in an awkward position (so I feel).

Arjun - his performance improved after Mouni entered. She was the saving grace of his dance and it was a treat to watch Mouni dance. Imagine just Mouni and Bhavna dancing on stage alone, no Arjun 😆😆 Why was Mouni brought in? Probably because Arjun didn't improve much, so to make him stay strong (and get that 21), Mouni had to be brought in to add some zest / mirch

Karishma - Uhm, I'm sorry for the troubles you had in life ... but that really killed it for me. Her dance wasn't all too great either, which leads me to think she was trying to garner sympathetic votes.

Harpal Ji - After hearing Karishma, I couldn't really pay attention - her sob story just ruined it all and took away the excitement. Harpal did an okay job, but I wasn't paying attention so ..

Nora - Yeah, no. Still didn't pay attention. She did pretty good I guess, but who knows.

And then life was brought back when Gerua played with Shakti dancing.

Shakti - Wow. That was definitely the best performance of that show. That flow, that speed, that emotional connection between the two. Excellent choreography. To be fair, I did watch it (and not get distracted) for three reasons: 1) officially BB loved, 2) Gerua, 3) I couldn't take my eyes off; it was just so beautifully done.

Twins - It was okay, but last week was definitely a better performance. There were some times that I felt that they were out of sync, and as KJo said, they did lack energy. The thing that fascinates me with these two is that they are twins. Twins have this special bond between each other, where they are somewhat on the same "frequency" so to speak, so it would have been interesting to see this link between the two play off in the future. But since they are leaving ... 😭😭 we'll never get to see that.

Salman - Has the clear advantage, and the bakhwas about him having to improve even more than before (which makes the advantage disappear) is just that, bakhwas. He's already a great dancer and one of the disadvantages of that is it's a bit more difficult to judge his improvement levels. With non-dancers, it's easier to pick up; that's why I feel the judges aren't going to be trying to notice his improvements. As long as his performs good (which he will do), he's got the clear advantage. I want to see Salman actually mess up for once in JDJ 9. Better yet, make him and Chutki partners for one episode and do that sensual dance. Yummm

😆 Well analysed Suyash.Starting from JF,she is behaving too childish.I like her she is sweet and nice but definitely not suitable for being a judge.

Arjun's face when doesn't get good comments is hilarious.He is definitely the one who can't hide his emotions i could see all his nervousness and anxiety on his face.Definitely not a good dancer till now.He was literally shaking.

Coming to Mouni she danced well.Idk if its me only but normally when she talks her expressions are too loud and proud may be because of her features.

i completely agree what you wrote about Karishma.Her sob story had got me roll my eyes too.I hate drama and there i missed the most drama-less person ever on jhalak. <3 You definitely know whom i mean 😆 Her act was ok she can defo do more well.

Noorah's act was gross. She is hot but graceless.I don't know but her performance and a few steps looked so over,to me.

Oh jai!! This is second time i am watching jhalak and i can easily tell he is gonna repeat all the stuff he did previously and it was very much evident from his first performance of this season when he mixed the robotic moves with other dance.Last year b yehi kia tha.

Shakti was good and i was looking forward to shan and sid.But colors people have actually gone nuts in all the senses.

About rest i don't care :p
