Let's call the next contestant from the next batch.
[singing]
'I don't know why my eyes are watering.'
'It makes me very happy when this happens.'
'He's the winner of Indian Idol, this new season.'
'Thank you so much.'
'For the first time in the history of Indian Idol'
- 'one singer will get three golden tickets. - Wow.'
'Come on, buddy.'
'You like my jackets, right?'
'I want to give you a jacket.'
'When you come to the theatre round next time, please wear that jacket.'
'I love you, man. Thank you so much.'
[emotional music playing]
Wow. You're looking like a fashion statement today.
- Is this the jacket that Badshah was talking about? - Yes, sir.
- Ah! No wonder. - Mind-blowing.
It's looking very nice on you.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Suits you. - Looks really good.
What was the reaction at home
after your big win at the audition?
There are 50 people in my family.
We all live together.
50 people?
When I gave them the message that I got three golden tickets
they were overjoyed.
As if India has won the World Cup.
[laughing]
'Roli's mom, take this. And hurry up.'
'Everyone, make sure to put up the lights properly.'
[joyous music playing]
'Priyangshu has arrived.'
[ululating]
[song playing]
Yours is a family where 50 people live together.
This must be a tough time for you, since you're alone.
I don't think anyone has come from your family.
No, ma'am, it was not tough for me.
Because when I started the journey of Indian Idol
there was one man
who was with me at all times.
That is Biswarup Da.
Biswarup... He's also a contestant, right?
- Yes, ma'am. - Oh.
'If I made a mistake while singing or if anything needed rectification'
he would teach me everything.
He's like my big brother.
- So nice. - That's great.
Now there are 51 people in your house.
That's right.
So, you...
- Call Biswarup. - Right now?
He was not prepared for this, right?
So, can we call Biswarup?
[singing]
'Your voice is such that it'll keep playing on a loop.'
- 'It's a yes from us. - It's a yes from us.'
[laughing]
'Thank you so much.'
He's praising you a lot, Biswarup.
Ma'am, actually,
he's my younger brother, my friend, my everything.
[song playing]
But do you know you're standing with him in the spotlight?
There is friendship, but it's also a competition.
- Biswarup, you start. - Okay, ma'am.
- Okay. - All the very best.
Thank you, ma'am.
[vocalising]
Wow.
[vocalising]
Ah! Nice.
[drums playing]
I love this song.
[singing]
Ah!
Wow.
[music playing]
Wow!
That's great.
[music playing]
[singing]
- Whoa. - Whoo-hoo.
- Mad! - Very good.
Wow.
- Brother, he's a dark horse. - Dark horse?
- Based on what you showed us last time - Oh, God.
We did not know you could do this too.
You're amazing, Mr Pandey.
- Thank you so much, sir. - Mind-blowing.
- I can see a new side of Biswarup. - Like this...
This word, 'uns,'
I really like it.
The meaning of 'uns' is beautiful. The song is written by Mr Gulzar.
'The first feeling of falling in love.'
That feeling when something is happening in the heart.
- The first feeling. - The first feeling.
Oh, my God, this performance was 'uns' all over.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
Priyangshu, are you ready?
- Yes, ma'am. - Okay.
Okay, let's hear you.
[singing]
[keyboard playing]
[singing]
Wow.
Oh!
[singing]
[applauding]
Thank you, ma'am.
Fabulous.
Priyangshu, my God.
This really touched my heart.
- I thought your performance was beautiful. - Thank you, ma'am.
All that pain that is there in your voice
and the love that you have for music,
that has really moved me today.
And God bless you.
You're an amazing singer and you'll go places.
- Thank you so much, ma'am. - God bless you so much.
Thank you, ma'am.
Both the performances that were back-to-back
did not make us feel
that one was better than the other.
Both your styles,
and voice quality is touching people's hearts.
They say, 'When you get something good, you get plenty of it.'
This is twice as good.
I think his voice
has reached Badshah, wherever he is.
- The pain... - Has it reached?
Shall we show Badshah?
I think he'll be very happy to see you.
[phone ringing]
'It's your boy, Badshah.'
Hi... Hello.
Say hello to 'It's your girl, Shreya' and 'It's your girl, Neeti.'
Missing you.
What's the scene? How can you miss school without a leave letter?
[laughing]
'The police of 11 countries are looking for Don.'
[laughing]
Look at your protege.
'Oh, my God.'
'That's amazing.'
- Hello, sir. - 'Wow. Did the jacket fit you?'
Perfect fit, sir.
- Okay, both of them... - Oh.
- 'Biswarup?' - Yes, Biswarup and Priyangshu have sung so well.
Biswarup sang 'Satrangi Re.'
A very tough song.
- 'Hmm.' - Hardcore.
- And Priyangshu sang - 'Hmm.'
'Tadap Tadap,' which is even harder.
- And both of them have sung so well. - 'Hmm.'
It was mind-blowing.
'Oh, my God.'
Hold on. Something big is about to happen.
'One, two, screenshot.'
- Yeah. - Whoo-hoo.
'Oh, my God.'
[song playing]
This is for both of you.
[cheering]
You both are in our Top 15.
- 'Priyangshu, Biswarup, all the best. - Thank you, sir.
- See you, bye. - Bye, sir.
'Can't wait to see you.'
[song playing]
The ones who sang trending songs during the auditions,
I'd like to call two singers from that.
One is Ayushman from Mathura. Do you remember Ayushman?
[singing]
'As a friend, I'm going to tell you''
'I didn't like it at all.'
'You can't just sing the lyrics, if you don't feel it.'
[singing]
'The bridges are broken.'
[tense music playing]
And Sudhanshu.
[singing]
'And it was KK's speciality,'
- 'he had just a clean purity in his voice. - Yes.'
'It's a rare thing that we find someone'
- 'who has a clean purity in their vo It's a beautiful thing. - You sang we
Come on, guys.
[guitar strumming]
[vocalising]
[singing]
How are we going to get 12?
- That's my question. - There are plenty.
Where will 12 of them come from?
They will come. There are many.
[vocalising]
Yes, come on.
[laughing and applauding]
- I love his smile. - His fist bump at the end...
- What was that? - 'Yes, I did it.'
'The song is done.'
- 'Yes, the song is over. - The performance is done.'
- That's what it was. - Yes, it's done.
Oh, my God.
Are you ready, Sudhanshu? Come.
Come on, Sudhanshu.
You can relax now.
It's his turn. Why are you standing like this?
Come on, Sudhanshu.
[guitar strumming]
[singing]
[vocalising]
[singing]
Whoo.
Thank you.
I just want to say, I can see many changes in both of you
- from the auditions. - Thank you, sir.
Specifically, Ayushman. Let me tell you what the changes are.
- Yes, sir. - Today, in your singing you were
not rushing through it. You were finishing all the lines properly.
And I look for authenticity
in every musician, because
you can learn everything else.
- But no one can learn authenticity. - Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir. - If you're able to express your personality on stage
that's a very big thing.
Okay? It means a lot to me.
Again, I won't give you the result right now.
Because I like your tension so much
- that we'll give you some more tension. What's there in that? - Sir.
[laughing]
You can hear the rest from the ladies.
Guplu Devi and Bittu Devi will tell you.
She's called Bittu at home.
- Bittu Mohan. - Not her house name.
- Have you named her? - Just like Gup was given to you by Vishal and Shekar
Is it? I really thought Bittu was your house name.
And you know what, Badshah is also called Bittu at home?
See, we have Bittus everywhere.
- See. - I'm called Puchu at home.
- Puchu. - Puchu. - Puchu.
Puchu, with a P.
- Why 'Puchu'? - 'Puchu' is a short form for what?
'Puchu' means cute.
- How do you know? - Why do you know?
'Puchu,' you have a very trendy voice. Trendy...
It means you were singing like Arijit.
You were completely disconnected from the intent of the song
in trying to be like him.
Just like the original sound of the song...
If you didn't sound like that
and added your own personal style to it,
I would've liked it a lot better.
That's what I'm saying.
Technically, you two
haven't reached the level
that this show is at.
So, this time, it's a no.
But I hope to see you guys again.
- Thank you. - Okay? - Thank you so much.
'- Myscmme? - Myscmme?'
'Please call Myscmme Basu.'
'I had a doubt. It's Myscmme with a completely different...'
'Oh, it's Myscmme Bose.'
'M-Y-S-C-M-M-E.'
'This is just like, F-G-H-I-J, Aditya.'
[laughter]
[singing]
'- Amazing! - Well done!'
[singing]
'Amazing! God bless!'
'Myscmme, this is from of all of us...'
'- It's a yes! - It's a yes!'
'Come on!'
[song playing]
And X97395.
What are your stars, numerology and astrology saying today?
I had noticed
that my last performance was fifth...
That number was five.
- Hmm. - I was the fifth contestant.
I am still the fifth contestant.
So, according to my numerologist,
five is my good number.
- It's like a very lucky number. - Five is your lucky number.
Five is a...
Five is my lucky number. That's what he said.
So, I am a little confident. So, yeah.
We had to make a badge. How do we make a badge with three peo
Call four more people.
- Four more? - Yes. - No, let's do one thing.
Let's look for another contestant whose lucky number is five.
[song playing]
Do you have a lucky number?
- Yes, ma'am. - Amazing! - Five.
- Why? - Why? Why do you think so?
Five is a number that's in the middle.
That is a number of stability.
And my dad's birthday is on the 14th of May. That is 5-5.
And my registration number, which is...
077.
If you... 7 + 7 is 14.
- 4 + 1 is 5. - 5.
That is...
Well, okay. We have two girls with lucky number five.
Let's see who this lucky number proves to be for.
Ready for your battle?
[buzzer sound]
Yes, ma'am.
- Yes. - Myscmme, will you sing first?
- Sure, ma'am. - Will you sing?
- Definitely. - Okay.
How are you feeling? Myscmme, you are
up against Mansi.
Actually, ma'am, she is a very good friend of mine.
- Yes. We are very good friends. - Yeah!
- Since when? Since when? - I mean...
- Hold on! - After this audition. - After this audition.
After this audition.
- It's not like you have been friends - No, no.
Five years...
So, it's a little shocking but we are excited as well.
- Very good. - Yeah!
- Mansi? - Same.
I am feeling very excited and all the best to her.
- Okay. - And you will wish me when I sing.
Yes. Thank you.
Muah!
- Okay. - Muah!
Begin!
Come on, Myscmme! Sing!
[singing]
Wow!
[singing]
[suspenseful music]
[singing]
Wow!
Fabulous! God bless you!
Thank you so much, sir.
Crazy!
[music playing]
- Wow! - She had that originality.
They should be punished too.
How old was she when she sang this song?
I don't know. But she's different, a little crazy!
You sang very well, Myscmme!
- Wow! You sang wonderfully! - It was lovely.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
You singing the rhythmic syllables of the 'tabla' too.
There was a lot going on in it.
You sang everything.
You finished everything neatly.
There is no error anywhere.
- This is her sixth attempt. - Yes.
People take CA exams six times.
Why can't you do this?
- What you are doing is very good. - Thank you, sir.
[singing]
This... If this is your career,
you should take it seriously with the same passion
and determination. I am very proud of you.
- Great job. - Thank you so much, sir.
A lot of singers are learning from you
who try every year and fail.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
Come on, Mansi. It's your turn. Step into the arena.
Come on.
[singing]
'Wow!'
'What is she doing?'
'What is one thing that she wants to change?'
'She wants to eradicate vegetarian food.'
'Oh, man! What will we eat?'
'I am a vegetarian.'
'I am a Bengali. I ate fish'
'as soon as I am born.'
'I am not like that.'
'Why are you after me?'
Her sword is very sharp too!
She is that one.
Yes. Yes, I am that one.
I am that one.
Is this how you sing whole song?
She changes her pose four times
- in the middle of the song. - In the middle of the song.
- We will see that! - Legend! Legend!
Come on, Mansi. I can't wait.
[singing]
Whoo!
[singing]
[laughter]
Yeah!
[singing]
I like it!
[singing]
Oh, damn!
Woah!
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, ma'am.
Thank you so much.
My favourite thing... My favourite thing about a singer is
that she doesn't care who is watching or listening.
In her own... I mean... She is in it.
In it to win it.
- I love it. I love it. I love it. - Thank you, sir.
Can you pat my back a little bit?
- I will pat your back. - I will pat yours.
- Good job. Good job. - We have found good ones. - Truly.
Good... We have found good ones.
Unique talent!
I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.
Yes!
[music playing]
Yes!
At one point, when you made that playful sound...
Can you do that again?
[singing]
Very nice. Originally, it's Sunidhi's song.
- She belts out there. - Yeah!
- You... - No, this is the part where she didn't belt out
- and switched to a falsetto. - So...
- Amazing. - It was such a pleasant surprise.
And I liked it a lot.
[singing]
'Woohoo!'
I mean, you got your inner Sunidhi Diva.
But you have your own voice.
You have phenomenal control on your voice.
- Thank you ma'am. - That is a great skill to have.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Wow! I am so proud
that this time,
we have a very unique talent in Indian Idol.
[song playing]
I... I'm saying...
I think this is an opportunity that we can't miss.
[tense music]
What?
Oh, oh...
Oh, my God!
I am asking. Calm down. Calm down.
- Oh, he is asking. - She is...
[Regional language]
She is scolding me that I overreacted.
See, we have a problem that only
five are left.
- So, make a sensible... - These resources are too valuable.
[tense music]
I love that
versatility at this moment.
These two unique voices
are singing different kinds of songs.
But should we give them this?
[tense music]
I've decided. Clearly. Now, it's between you two. You both decide.
[tense music]
Both of you, come and take your mics. Please. Thank you very much.
[song playing]
I am so happy. Welcome to the top 15!
Congratulations!
We had a wonderful contestant
from Punjab in the auditions.
I want you to listen to him.
You will enjoy it.
Let's do it! Let's call him.
'I want to make my social media lifestyle'
'my real lifestyle.'
'Actually, I work as a security guard, ma'am.'
'I want to reach that level'
'with my own hard work'
'which I showcase in my reel life.'
[singing]
'Swirled... You made us swirl!'
'Dilraj... Today... Today...'
So, let's begin. Let's do it!
Wow!
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
I really liked your performance.
It was needed in this song.
The enthusiasm, the passion
and the fun that was required for the song, you definitely had it.
But the thing that was missing
throughout the song was your tone.
At all times, I was little...
I was like, 'Will he find the 'sur' now?'
So I was not very sure about your performance.
Dilraj, your smile is very nice.
And you will always rule everyone's hearts.
You should always remember this.
I heard that you want your reel life
and your real life to match. Right?
I will pray that it comes true.
Coming to your performance.
Because you chose a fast song,
sometimes, we feel that we have to sing excitedly.
We sometimes forget whether the note is correct or not.
Be careful next time. This performance can be way better.
For now, please wait a little.
You are currently on hold on behalf of the three of us.
Thank you, ma'am.
There is a batch which has our youngest contestants.
Barely fifteen-sixteen years old.
They may lack experience.
But they all have a lot of enthusiasm and talent.
Woah! Let's go.
Hi. Harshita. I remember. Yes.
Hi. Harshita.
- Hello, ma'am. - There is another youngest contestant like you
in this batch,
whose name is Ragini.
[song playing]
'Woah!'
'Danger...'
'Dangerous!'
'Devendra is there because Ragini is there.'
- 'What do you mean? - When he was born.'
'The doctor told me that this boy
has a serious illness.'
'He will live for 15-16 years.'
'There is no guarantee after that.'
[sobbing]
'All those doctors told me that it was treatable.'
'That is through bone marrow transplant.'
'Ragini was only 3 years old at that time.'
'The doctors were taking out bone marrow from her bones.'
'And the transplant was successful.'
'And today, my son is standing in front of you all.'
'And I will give all the credit to my daughter.'
'Who came to my house in the form of Lakshmi.'
'And my whole life changed.'
[emotional music playing]
'What a girl, right? If blessings had a face, it would be Ragini.'
Oh my God!
Oh!
How cute.
- Today, you look younger than that day. - Hi.
- Do you know... - Oh my God! I love it!
What have you done to your hair?
This... I love K-pop.
My brother gifted me this after getting the golden ticket.
It looks really awesome.
How cute!
Why are you standing so distant? Come closer.
Aww!
Both are coordinated. Their choreography is ongoing.
I like their pairing.
So, Harshita, you will sing first.
And hello, beautiful!
Ragini, please move aside.
Thank you. All the very best to both of you.
[music playing]
[singing]
[instrument music]
[singing]
Huh?
[singing]
Woah!
[clapping]
Okay. Wow.
Okay, Ragini. What will you sing now? We are very excited.
[singing]
Careful.
[singing]
What a beautiful song! I love it.
[singing]
Wow!
[singing]
- Thank you. - Wow.
Beautiful.
These are the youngest contestants
of our Indian Idol.
And they have selected the most difficult songs.
First one is, "Daiyya Re Daiyya Main Kahan Aa Phasi".
I am thinking the same. Where am I trapped?
[song playing]
Ragini. Those two are Ms Lata's most iconic songs.
Yes, ma'am.
I feel very good to see this.
The youngest kids of this generation,
they were on the right path.
And how did you sing?
Both the songs
require a lot of preparation.
What do I say? I loved it.
Umm...
Let me think.
You know both the performances had a lot of qualities.
There were many flaws, too.
You both are very young,
it's impossible for you to understand these songs at this age.
Absolutely impossible.
The humour that is required in a song,
the playful, mischievous style that is required
Harshita, in your song,
Because it was a very complicated song.
The scale changes four times.
So you were focusing on that.
When you perform this song ten times
then you will realise that
apart from that, when those scale changes
settle in your memory
then you will be able to focus on that style.
Same thing for you. This song
is very complicated. Actually...
The girl is...
The girl is telling her boyfriend's brother that he troubles her a lot.
How will you understand this emotion
at the age of fifteen? It's impossible.
So you just tried to play the singing part.
Now, it is our responsibility
to improve these two voices.
Ragini, there was a lot of sincerity in your voice.
And I saw you at the auditions.
You are a saviour, too
For your brother.
You helped him with Thalassemia.
When I saw this, I was very moved by this.
[emotional music]
You are already a brave girl.
Both of you gave an excellent performance.
If you have a little more training next year,
you will be able to fight back better.
Unfortunately,
you will not be able to go beyond the theatre round today.
But all the very best.
Both of you are absolute rock stars!
Thank you, ma'am.
The thing is, if you want to say no to them
then you have to say it very lovingly.
- Because you want the love for music to continue. - Yeah!
- So we have to be a little... - Delicate.
But I am slightly inclined towards Ragini.
- Because she had pink plaits. - Because she was very difficult...
Whatever she was doing... The ambition was mad.
That's the mad thing.
Let's call the contestants from the next batch.
[singing]
'You made us dance.'
'Biggest achievement to date.'
'And you wrote Abhaya.'
- 'She is my one and only daughter. - Really?'
- 'Hi, Abhaya. - Hi.'
[song playing]
- 'Yeah! - Yeah!'
[flute music]
- Hi, Simpa. - Hi.
You look so cute.
Mother and daughter are twinning today.
So cute, man.
Both of you are looking so cute.
Thank you.
She doesn't know Hindi well.
So she knows only one song.
And that is "Jiya Jiya Re".
How adorable. I want to hear you.
- Jiya re. Will you sing to us? - Yes.
Can I sing with you?
Please come.
[laughing]
Come on. One, two, three...
[singing]
Woah!
[clapping]
Wow, Simpa.
You rock!
Thank you.
[clapping]
Poshali is one of the western batches.
And one such amazing singer is Inaayat Kaur.
[singing]
'There was no need to add so many operating parts'
'and so many jumping notes in it.'
'In the process of making khichdi, it became a mess.'
'Can I just honestly say,
I'm really impressed.'
- Hi, Inaayat. - Hello.
- Poshali will sing first. - Okay, ma'am.
- Mom, all the best. - Thank you.
[instrumental music]
[guitar music]
[singing]
[instrumental music]
[singing]
- She is singing well. - Yes.
[singing]
Yes.
[singing]
[laughing]
[singing]
Woah!
Thank you so much.
Inaayat, come on. Come.
Come on, Inaayat.
[instrumental music]
[singing]
How is she breathing?
[instrumental music]
[singing]
Wild.
[singing]
- Mad. - Thank you so much.
- Woah! - Thank you.
[clapping]
Inayat, what was that?
Thank you, ma'am.
What you were doing was tough.
You were singing the chorus and the main vocals.
Uh... You were a little shaky at the beginning.
Then I think, somewhere at the verse, you picked up.
That's when the engine started.
Before that, you were searching
and Poushali, you sang better than your audition.
Thank you so much.
There is a shine in your voice today,
there's a confidence
but the notes were a little scattered.
Inayat, when you were singing,
we could hear the nervousness in your voice.
But when you forgot about us,
and got into the singing,
then we heard a completely different Inayat.
When you're in front, you're trying to touch the sky, which is great.
Whether you're able to touch or not, we'll find out later.
In your case, I think all three of us keep it on hold. We'll tell you later
- Because there is so much improvement, - Yes.
that let's see what everyone else has done.
We'll see what else is on the menu. We will place the order after that.
- Oh, my God. - Am I right?
Yes, good luck. Thank you.
Thank you.
We've given 12 mics.
- Now we have three spots remaining. - My God.
- Okay. - Shall we call the next contestant?
Can we have Anirudh?
'Just a few months ago'
'I participated in the Telugu Indian Idol show.'
- 'I was the first runner-up on that show. - Oh.'
'I applied for many leaves then. My leaves are exhausted.'
'And I'm on the verge of losing my job.'
[singing]
- That's great. - Amazing.
'Anirudh. Come.'
Hi, ma'am.
- Hi, Anirudh. How are you? - Doing good, ma'am.
Anirudh, for you this season
- was probably the last chance. - Yes, ma'am.
It's a very important day.
- Yes, ma'am. - Sing well. All the best.
- Are you ready? - Yes, ma'am.
Come on.
[rhythmic beats]
[singing]
Ah-ha.
[singing]
Whoo.
Well done.
- Wonderful. - Awesome.
[harmonizing]
That's great.
Wow.
Amazing.
Whoa.
[harmonizing]
- Whoa. - Whoo.
That's great.
Wow.
Thank you.
[song playing]
Wow.
[song playing]
You sang wonderfully.
Shocking.
- Thank you. - What is this?
Were you going to do this? Was this your preparation for theatre?
You were going to play
the most special card.
I really did not expect you to choose this song.
I really admire
your courage to sing a song like this in theatre.
What a tough song to sing.
And you added your touch to it.
I added Mr Lalgudi Jayaraman's Desh Tillana and sang it.
- That's great. - Thank you, ma'am.
Eventually, your notes that you merged with 'Suna Suna'
[singing]
it made the song very interesting. Amazing.
I'm truly impressed.
- It was wonderful. - Thank you so much, ma'am.
Anirudh, I am mind-blown
- after your performance. - Thank you, ma'am.
We heard such performances in the finale.
- So, really... Congratulations. - Thank you so much.
Today's performance,
I mean...
You have put us in a dilemma
that... What we can say now?
[tense music playing]
Uh... We'll have to call your boss.
Yes, ma'am.
Do one thing.
Tell the boss, 'I quit.'
Ma'am?
- Because you are in the Top 15, Anirudh. - Thank you.
[song playing]
Whoo...
[song playing]
'I could say that I'm a little'
relieved from my tension.
And also from my job.
I'm relieved already, I'll have to go and submit my resignation.
Two contenders are coming from the next batch.
Vishnumaya and Kritwika.
Vishnumaya, you're looking very beautiful in a saree.
- Thank you. - You wore a saree for your auditions too, right?
'How lovely. You've come in such a beautiful saree.'
'My name is Vishnumaya.'
'I'm from Kerala.'
[singing]
'Come and take your golden ticket.'
Kritwika, you came with Diptendu.
'Some people say that Kritwika is better.'
'And some people say, Diptendu is better.
'We'll decide who is better today.'
[singing]
[music playing]
'Okay, stop.'
'We must listen to Diptendu's performance.'
[singing]
'Kritwika, you're coming to the next round.'
I'm very excited to hear both of you.
All the very best.
- Thank you, ma'am - Thank you.
[guitar strumming]
[singing]
Kritwika, come on.
Come.
[rhythmic beats]
[keyboard playing]
[singing]
- That's great. - Wow.
[applauding]
Kritwika's voice quality
touched my heart even during the audition.
When your voice opened up when you sand the 'Antara'
it was so fresh to hear that
'Titliyo se jo suna.'
The voice quality,
- the echo in the word 'suna' - There was an echo.
it sounded beautiful.
[singing]
Of course, there were issues with both of your notes.
Vishnumaya, you were getting out of breath a lot
and the lines did not feel complete.
You have to really work on your breath.
It was becoming
loud and soft so much
that when it was soft, I couldn't hear what you were singing.
So, we will keep this decision on hold for now.
All right?
Please send the next contestant.
[singing]
'That was fun.'
'It was so much fun, that it was fun hearing ma'am say it.'
[laughing]
[In Punjabi] You come.
[In Punjabi] Everybody seems to...
- [In Punjabi] Tusi? - [In Punjabi] Aanda...
[Regional language]
- [In Punjabi] Come and take away. - [In Punjabi] You come.
All the very best.
And we're looking forward to listening to you.
[guitar strumming]
[singing]
What a song this is.
[music playing]
[singing]
That's great.
Wow.
[singing]
Wow.
[applauding]
Whoa.
Tajinder, this is a very sensitive song.
I thought you were not feeling it fully.
I felt that
the expression of the song,
especially from the 'mukhda' was missing always.
For now, please wait for a while.
From all three of us,
you're on hold, right now.
The competition has been extremely tough.
It's been absolutely fantastic, I would say.
Among all these names,
many of them are waiting for our verdict.
Poushali and Inayat.
For this time,
you're not ready.
Your journey in Indian Idol ends here.
All the best for the next time.
Can we have Dilraj and Tajinder Singh?
Unfortunately, this time, Dilraj and Tajinder,
your journey was only until here.
Ipsit, please come.
Ipsit, you've entered the Top 15.
[cheering]
Our last stand-by contestants.
Vishnumaya, Kritwika
and Ritika.
Today one among you will go ahead.
[tense music playing]
That is
- Ritika. - Ritika.
[applauding]
[mellow music playing]
Breathe, Ritika. This is true.
Yes, it has happened.
Oh, God.
Hold this and say
'Yeah! I'm coming to Top 15.'
- Come on, hold this. - Congratulations.
