Koena Mitra the new entrant on "Jhalak Dikhla Ja"

The dance reality show "Jhalak Dikla Ja" is one which has me hooked on to the TV these days. The show started off with 10 celebrities pairing up with their respective choreographers and setting the stage on fire. Non-dancers these celebrities including cricketer Amarnath have done a very good job. The celebrities have only got better with time and have tried more adventurous dance forms with their choreographers lending full support.

A few weeks into the show saw the addition of footballer "Baichung Bhutia". And from the stiff footballer he is definitely turning into a good dancer. With three celebrities eliminated over the past 3 weeks the show has made another wild card entry with actress and trained dancer Koena Mitra. The actress is definitely a surprise package expected to increase the TRP ratings and get the show popular. There are however, mixed reactions to this from the Jhalak house. On one hand, when some of them do take it as an opportunity to better themselves, there are others who feel that inviting a trained dancer at this stage is not the right move to make. The channel can however, change the pattern at any point and getting more viewership is surely very important.

The "Teen Deviyaan" or the three female judges - Saroj Khan, Juhi Chawla and Vaibhavi Merchant" are doing a great job. For viewers like me, twists like this definitely makes it more interesting to continue watching the show. What do you feel?
