    “Dance vs Dance Season 2” will premiere on 17 October with a grand launch episode at 6 p.m, followed by competitive rounds every Saturday and Sunday at 7.30 p.m, starting from 23 October. The first season of “Dance vs Dance” was a hit among the masses. The second edition has actor Kushboo and choreographer Brinda Master in the judges’ panel. There are four team owners including actors Shaam, Abhirami Venkatachalam, and Ineya, and choreographer Sridhar.

The plot takes viewers through Meenakshi and Chidambaram’s relationship as they set out on a quest to unite their families.

    “True to the ideology of Color Kattum, Colors Tamil’s aspires to entertain families with novel plotlines, engaging characters, and a fresh format altogether,” said Colors Tamil’s business head Rajaraman. “The channel has always been keen to break stereotypes and showcase progressive themes that serve as an inspiration to audiences, especially by highlighting different facets of women.”

    As part of the part of its newly launched brand campaign ‘Ini Dinam Dinam ColorKattum,’ the channel has further strengthened its primetime band with a lineup of shows including “Amman Season 2” at 6 p.m, “EngaVeetu Meenakshi” at 7 p.m, “Idhayathai Thirudathey Season 2” at 8 p.m, “Abhi Tailor,” at 9 p.m and “Sillunu Our Kadhal” at 10 p.m, starting 18 October. Additionally, it will also premiere films during weekdays at 1.30 p.m.
