Judges wouldnt give marks this season!

Stupid me -_-

Judge on the basis of star power? They're already stars and now they're supposed to DANCE, THAT'S why it's called 'Dancing with the Stars'. Just when I was finally looking forward to Jhalak specially after giving last season a miss! And a change of judges is the main reason. It's just not been working for me ever since Colors took over. Anyway, let's see what exactly he means before I jump the gun.

then what will judgea give? Anda? 🤣

TFS, TM and Zubeada. :)

JDJ is generally supposed to be a reality-show of celebs - if they intended to give marks strictly, they might be more comfortably off with non-celebs as contestants.

So it's nice if a celebs reality-show finally goes easy on the marks-system, instead of unnecessarily pretending that the show isn't less about contestants dancing than about celeb-contestants dancing.

You may pay chief-guests to attend and perform at a school-event, but criticizing them as if they're the school's students is frigging odd - and this bizarre 2-pronged pattern has been going on for years:
(1) judges sometimes pompously lecturing the celebs about performances - as if performance is the most important thing, as if the contestants already being celebs isn't the actual reason for their being paid to participate; and
(2) requesting contestants for them to generously praise all judges and chief-guests and requesting them to come dance with, to use up screentime in addition to the screening of contestants performances and rehearsals.

If screentime needs to be covered more, let judges and hosts dance together, let contestants dance with their spouses.
It would be nice to see judges just interacting and mingling more with the contestants, or hosts requesting judges or chief-guests for a performance, not asking contestants to request judges to dance with.

A celebs dance reality-show might somehow manage an episode with the celebs there but not dancing, but if there were no celebs to do the dancing, it would be an entirely different range of reality-show.

Wish JDJ had been this way in all earlier seasons, but at least now, hope they don't backslide to previous pattern. :))

Yes, but we will be doing even more. You will see the judges doing mimicry, you will see Shahid sitting with the contestants and doing a lot of fun things. Our motive is to not let the show get boring for our viewers.

What will you look for in your winner?
Well the show is called Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa: Dancing with the Stars so I will be looking for that star' value in the contestants. Participants usually forget that they are stars first and then dancers. They go out of their way to learn difficult steps but forget that X-factor that made them who they are. So more than their dancing ability I would judge them on their star power.
