[edit] Concept

The show has the unique concept of celebrity couples competing against one another. Major names in the television industry were given a platform to showcase another side of their persona. It is telecasted on vijay TV Friday to Saturday at 8pm. Though the show's concept has originally derived from Nach baliye, the show had created a niche for itself in the small-screen.

Jodi No. 1 - Season 1 was a one of the most entertaining shows aired at that time when it was launched in October 2006. The show was launched amidst much hype and this was the first time in Tamil television that the viewers got to see their favorite TV stars in a new avatar.

The show witnessed 4 real life couples and 4 reel life couples put on their dancing shoes; facing moments of high tension, jubilation and exhilaration over 13 weeks. While the eminent panel of judges comprising of dance master Kala, popular actor Prashanth and the ravishing Ramya Krishnan chose the two finalists. The viewers themselves chose the third finalist.

Prem and Pooja - The winners of the Wild Card round were adjudged the champions of Jodi No. 1 by the audiences. They received 10 lakhs as the prize money.

Jodi no.1 season 2 began following the season 1's success among the Tamil audiences across tamilnadu.

The 8 couples were Kalaiselvan Tinku, Preethi, Yugendren, Hayma Malini, Sree, Krithika, Prithveeraj, Uma Riyaz, Arvind, Lakshmi, Irfan, Monisha, Venkat, Nisha Dev and Aishwarya.

Tinku and Preethi were the winners of Jodi no 1 season 2 bagging the 10 lakhs whereas venkat and Nisha won the best performance award.

The popularity of Jodi no 1 season increased after the fight between the actor Simbhu (alias silambarasan) and prithveeraj where the later questioned the former of his judgement choice. Simbhu then chose to walk out of the sets eliminating himself. He later came back into the show on the other participants request, following which prithveeraj walked out of the show.

The couple Prithveera and Uma riyaz were one of the most celebrated pair in the show and also the favourite of the masses.
