Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa is a television reality show and the Indian version of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing and ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

[edit] Concept
Sony Entertainment Television brings Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa with new celebrities and well-known faces to perform with professional dance partners on a highly competitive stage. The show is produced by BBC Worldwide Productions in India. Tania Bath is the Creative Director of the Indian series.
The show's format is taken from the Strictly Come Dancing show on BBC One in UK, which has been a huge success in over 30 countries like America, Australia, New Zealand, and Italy, where it is known as Dancing with the Stars. However, the Indian version has been extensively remodelled to appeal to the country's viewers.[1]
The dances are typically more exuberant than on its sister programmes around the world, owing to India's unique Bollywood traditions. Also because of the strong Bollywood approach, India is the only country to not have live music with an in-house band. The show is also pre-recorded, unlike the UK's Strictly Come Dancing and other spin-offs.[1] All the ballroom and Latin dances are performed as Bollywood-themed showdances (US: freestyles) rather than with strict 'syllabus' ballroom or Latin technique.

[edit] Judges' fury over public voting
The public voting for the Semi-finals had resulted in duo Karan Singh Grover and Nicole Alvares, the lowest scorer of the round, being sent into the Finale and Gauhar Khan and Hard Kaur for the face off. After a unanimous decision in favour of Gauhar Khan, Hard Kaur was set to leave the show after her performance, prepared for the finale. Her performance made the judges display their resentment over the biased voting of the public in the form of a 'strike' till Hard Kaur is brought back. The judges returned the very next episode with Hard Kaur's elimination being inevitable.
