After the glamorous launch of Jhalak Dikhhla Ja Season 7, were you surprised to see all that jazz in the show’s grand premiere as well? I wasn’t! This weekend kick started the new season with the judges in a brand new avatar, dancing to the SOTY Mashup and a lot more.

As I already told you earlier, Humpty Sharma A.K.A Varun Dhawan with his Dulhania Alia Bhatt visited the sets and also performed to their song Saturday Saturday. Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha also made an appearance to promote Holiday (did you read our review, btw?)

The judges had already warned the contestants that this season is going to be difficult. The kind of dance forms they choose, outdoor performances and also earning a 30 is going to be no cakewalk. Well, the contestants did try to make their debut performance as fabulous as they could. So here’s what I thought were the 5 best performances of the weekend!

1. Shakti Mohan and Tushar

Shakti performed ballet on the Jhalak stage beautifully! Tushar probably deserved a dancer this season and the combination of their energy is something to look out for.

2. Mouni Roy and Punit

Mouni and Punit’s outdoor freestyle act was enriched with moves, sensuality and as Karan Johar mentioned, high production value. However, their body language seems to click and they look promising!

3. Ashish Sharma and Shampa

Their dance form was New School Hip Hop, and this duo rocked it! Their co-ordination, energy and concept were stunning. Total entertainer, this one.

4. Palak and Kruti

With a dance form like Techno, Kruti brought out the best in Palak and the two gave a new identity to the already loved song ‘Patakha Guddi‘. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing Palak nail it.

5. Sophie Choudry and Deepak

Now this doll can dance to impress! With one of the most innovative props, Deepak and Sophie gave an enthralling performance with good choreography, expressions and so much love!
