Here's what happened at JDJ 3 last night
The second episode of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa's third season didn't impress us much with the contestants churning out average performances. But among the mediocre acts, two couples stood out.
Surprisingly, they were Mohinder Amarnath with Lilian and Ugesh Sarkar with Tina who got our votes.
Parul Chauhan and Deepak Singh kicked off episode 2 grooving to the song Desi Girl from Dostana. However, even though Deepak, who won last season's competition, had great potential with the hit song, his steps didn't quite live up to our expectations. Parul showed good potential though her talent seemed wasted in her first performance. The judges gave them 20 marks.

Ugesh Sarkar and his partner Tina performed on the song Its Magic from the film Krrish. Choreographer Tina played it safe with the inexperienced dancer by using simple dance steps and incorporating some magic tricks. Our expectations weren't high for this non-dancer though he surprised us by doing his steps fairly well. Ugesh got 25 marks.

Bhagyashree and choreographer Tobby, season one's winner, chose the song Chaliya from Tashan to perform to. This was not at all a good choice for Bhagyashree, whose performance looked dull overall. We expected more from Tobby and wish he was more adventurous. Bhyagyashree scored 20 marks.

Mohinder Amarnath and Lilian danced to the Singh Is Kinng title track. It was a great performance from Mohinder. At his age, the energy he showed was commendable and he really set an example for his competitors. Lilian's efforts too were visible. Mohinder received 25 marks.

Shilpa Shukla and Nishant danced to the song Kaise Naino Se Nain from Om Shanti Om. Nishant's hard work paid off, especially the touch of classical moves that he incorporated into the performance. Shilpa did her bit and put in a good effort. They got 23 marks.
Indya Rating: 7.5
Karan Grover and Nicole performed on the Bachna Ae Hasseno title track. Even though the song choice was perfect for Karan's attitude, the duo focused too much in showing of his styling and body instead of his skill on the dance floor. Neither of them received good comments from the judges or good marks. They scored the lowest with 19 marks.
