Format

The show pairs celebrities with professional dancers. Each couple performs predetermined dances and competes against the others for judges' points and audience votes. The couple receiving the lowest combined total of judges' points and audience votes is eliminated each week until only the champion dance pair remains.

The show's format is taken from the Strictly Come Dancing show on BBC One in the UK.^[1] and Dancing With The Stars. The show is also pre-recorded, unlike Strictly Come Dancing and other spin-offs.^[1] Of the spin offs, the Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa is the only one that uses recorded tracks rather than live music with an in-house band.^[1] The title derives from "Jhalak Dikhlaja" (Let Me Have a Glimpse of You), a song from the film Aksar (2006), composed and sung by Himesh Reshammiya.

Although the show features mixed-sex couples, but the tenth season saw, for the first time, the participation of same-sex couple Dutee Chand and Raveena Choudhary^[2] (considering that Gaurav Gera in ninth season performed as fictional character-Chutki).^[3][4]

Elimination

The show airs its elimination on a Sunday in every season. The elimination procedure varied for number of seasons. The show adopted the following elimination methods:

• Judges' Pick from the bottom-two/three/four.
• Direct elimination based on combined judges' scores and public votes.
• Dance-off of bottom-two and judges' scoring.
