Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 5 Channel: Colors What’s special: The show is back with its fifth season and like every year, everyone is curious to watch their favourite celebrities shake a leg. But what makes it interesting is that the last four seasons are known to have a mix set of contestants from different walks of life, but this time around it seems the channel is focusing mostly on actors. In fact if the names making the rounds are to be believed then apart from cricketer Sanath Jayasurya, the rest are all related to entertainment industry. MAdhubala Channel: Colors Time: Mon-Friday, 8.30 pm What’s special: The channel has launched this first-ever magnum-opus against the backdrop of the film industry, on small screen with Madhubala...Ek Ishq, Ek Junoon.

The show is a story of two 16 girls and their journey from teenage to adulthood.

DID L’IL MASTERS Channel: Zee TV Time: Sat–Sunday 9pm What’s special: So this show really didn’t wait for the cricket fever to subside, as we guess the makers of the show were confident that even cricket cannot hinder its popularity. Judges Master Geeta Kapur and Marzi Pestonji will now watch the growth of the short listed talented Top 16 kids, who will be trained by the previous, DID seasons’ top contenders. The best part of course is to watch the little ones groove to reach the winner’s position. Gumrah Channel: Star Plus Time: Sat-Sun 8 pm What’s special: Well this isn’t a new show, but because of its popularity amongst the viewers the reality teen crime show is now being shifted to Star Plus from Channel [V]. The show that encapsulates real-life teenage crimes peppered with messages, warnings, solutions and an in-depth psychoanalysis of a teenager’s psyche. Byaah Hamari Bahoo Ka? Channel: Sony Time: Mon-Fri 8 pm What’s special: The name itself sounds very interesting, as from the promos one can make out that the protagonist is everyone’s favourite in the family. But then why is the Vaishnav family all set to get their daughter-in-law Rajni, remarried? Indian Idol 6 Channel: Sony Time: Fri-Sat 8.30 pm What’s special: Of course, it’s the Indian version of the American Idol and the audition rounds are the most watched too, thanks to a variety of contestants who come in to try their luck. It’s no less than a masala film with loads of emotions, some real talented gems and some real funny ones. Besides this season has a new addition to the judges list and that’s none other than singing sensation Asha Bhosale.
