Ma'am, from performing at concerts in Kolkata...
The journey to receiving the Platinum Mic from you

Sing very well today.
You look lovely.

Superb.
A huge round of applause on the beats
for the winner of Season 9 of India's Got Talent,
who eats a drum set every night for dinner!
[laughter]
He put Indian beatboxing on the world map.
His beatboxing adds a spark
to the shows of legendary singer Sunidhi Chauhan.
The world-class beatboxer, Divyansh Kacholia!
[applause]
So good. Our brains...
- Exploded. - It blew our minds.
- Too good. - We're standing. We don't know what else to do.
Too kind of you to say that.
Mayuri!
I wasn't expecting such a surprise.
Usually... You started out...
This is the 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' version.
The mukhda is beautiful.
And as it moves to "Mere dholna", that's a surprise in itself.
That was it for me.
After that came a transformation when he entered.
I was not prepared for it.
My mind is blown.
- Thank you. - And your command over classical and the rhythm,
and the ease of going through notes,
is incredible.
I'm glad you're my find.
I'm superbly...
I mean, I'm very proud of you.
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
Mayuri, I don't say this to anyone.
I can totally see you in the Top 5.
- Whoa! Wow. - Totally.
I never say this.
You have all the qualities that can take a singer to the Top 5.
And, DVK, my brother.
It was such a combination...
I will say this.
I've watched tons of shows,
this is one of the greatest acts I've ever seen.
- Ever. - Wow!
- This is it. - Too good.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
[applause]
First of all, Divyansh.
I was like a proud...
- Father. - Father!
- Ah! - From the genre represented.
A beatboxer is on the stage of Indian Idol.
This is the first time it has happened.
- Please make some noise for the Indian hip-hop scene. - True.
Whoa!
[applause]
You killed it. You nailed it.
- You came on Indian Idol and upheld its honour. - Thank you...
We couldn't have asked for a better representative.
- And thank you so much for being here. - Thank you.
Thank you so much. Means a lot, thank you.
This is the new Indian Idol.
Guys, where's the camera? Where is it?
Everywhere, sir. In every direction.
This is the new Indian Idol.
- Ah! - Play front.
- Yes, baby. - This is the new Indian Idol.
Yes, baby.
Yes, you brought it. Yes.
[applause]
The original singer of the song is here and DVK is also here.
- So, I think... - Oh, come on!
- Come on! - What!
I say, come on!
[laughter]
[applause]
The applause should be louder.
So good.
You're fantastic.
You know, because you sang the new version, I also want to.
I've never performed it live.
This was new even for me. So, I was having a good time.
- Come on! - [whooping]
So, come on.
The world premiere on Indian Idol.
Shreya Ghoshal singing 'Ami Je Tomar' 3.0, baby! Let's go!
Whoa!
Oh, God.
[applause]
[Shreya singing]
Oh, my!
[Divyansh beatboxing]
Whoa!

- Duet? - [beatboxing fades]
Come on!
[Shreya and Mayuri singing]
[Divyansh beatboxing]
Whoa!
[singing and beatboxing intensify]
[singing and beatboxing crescendo]
[beatboxing concludes]
[Shreya singing]
[singing and beatboxing conclude]
Wow!
Wow.
- Madness! - [applause]
SG!
- What have I done? - [laughter]
Before calling the next contestant,
I want
to hug someone.
[whimsical music playing]
Oh, God!
Oh, God.
- With that look? - Is it a remote-controlled hug?
Isn't that a villainous look?
[laughter]
Where are you going?
Oh, my.
Everyone's terrified.
Why did you start the NGO so late?
[laughter]
Where were you when I was getting married?
Tell me!
Where were you?
What!
- No. - You can't do that, Aditya.
- No, Aditya! Stop. - Hey...
- Stop. Please stop. - What is it?
- What? Tell me! - You can't do that to him.
- He's the messiah of single men. - What is it?
[Shreya laughs]
- What messiah? What has he done? - He's a messiah.
- Thank you so much. - Come here.
- No, Aditya. - Hey!
Wait.
[laughter]
Wait.
- Oh, my! -Where are you going?
- Come on. - I'm talking to him.
- He's our messiah. - I'm just t...
- I'm just talking to him, man! - No, man.
It's hilarious seeing Srijan and DVK together.
[laughter]
Oh, God!
You were saying something.
I've come on the show only for his sake.
- [Shreya] Oh. - I want to join his NGO.
First of all, thank you so much for saving me.
- And... - [laughter]
If Badshah and people like you join my NGO...
- You joined it! - I mean...
- "He'll do really well." - Non-Girlfriend Organisation.
- I'm flooded with direct messages and texts. - Yes.
There are loads of comments.
- Reaction videos are being made on my audition. - Wow.
"I want to join your NGO. What's the procedure?"
Not just that!
- Our contestants... - Yes!
Priyangshu, Jyotiprakash and Anirudh...
- Yes? - They've already...
- Did they join the gang? - They've joined.
- They've joined! - Yes, they have.
- What! - Already joined.
Why did Jyotiprakash join?
[laughter]
[applause]
I had no idea there were so many forlorn lovers here.
Badshah, the three of you were to take an oath together.
[laughter]
A big hand for Badshah!
Anyone who wishes to join is welcome.
- Oh, my! - Those taking an oath, I hope you know what it means.
If you have a girlfriend...
- You don't want her. - You'll lose her.
And you won't have one later on.
The musicians have joined in!
- From the music band! - Hey! [laughs]
- What's this? - [laughter]
What is happening?
Call for roses.
Please come. The roses are here.
- Take one each. - The roses are here.
Raise your right hand, please.
Yes, come on.
[laughter]
- We... - We... [all]
- The unromantic single lads... - The unromantic single lads... [all]
[laughter]
Take this oath.
Take this oath. [all]
That if a girl...
That if a girl... [all]
Approaches us and talks lovingly...
Approaches us and talks lovingly... [all]
We will immediately...
We will immediately... [all]
'Sisterzone' her.
[Shreya] 'Sisterzone' her!
Come on, say it.
Say it!
[laughs]
"If she calls you..."
If she calls you...
"Then do not go."
- Okay? - Throw your roses!
"If she calls you, do not go."
Hey!
- Proud of you. - Vishal!
The roses are damaged.
[laughs]
[laughter]
- Oh, my! - Whoa!
My, oh, my.
Badshah.
[cheer and applause]
- Thank you. [laughs] - Look.
Look. Moments after taking the oath, do you see what that judge is doing?
[applause]
Look.
The fact is,
boys,
you need at least one beautiful girl in your life.
- Srijan, get this straight. - Yes?
You say this, but I know you're getting direct messages.
- No... - And you're having an affair there.
- No! - [laughter]
[applause]
Friends, presenting the salesmen of bachelorhood,
Mr. Intern, Srijan Porail.
- [Vishal] Poor guy. - [Shreya] Oh, no.
Thank you so much.
All the best.
[music playing]
[Srijan performing]
'Film - Life in a... Metro. Singer - KK'
'Music - Pritam Lyrics - Sandeep Srivastava'
'Srijan Porail. 21, Howrah'
[mouthing words]
[singing continues]
Ah!
[Shreya] Wow!
Wow!
Oh, my!
Yes.
[Vishal sings along]
[singing concludes]
[applause]
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Whoa!
Thank you. Thank you so much.
[Shreya] Lovely.
[applause and cheer]
Once more...
[banging]
[loud banging]
I thought I'd do it along with the drums.
[mimics drums]
Because it's so good, Srijan.
Thank you, sister.
[applause]
What! What is this?
Your NGO and everything else aside,
you're so serious when it comes to singing
and about your passion for music.
Whatever happened before this,
the taking the oath and staying away from girls, all that aside,
the fact is that you're a very sincere singer.
Thank you so much.
[audience cheering, applauding]
We are so proud and happy
- about the Platinum Mic. - Mine!
My mike... I chose you.
Vishal gave you a Platinum Mic,
and you truly deserve that.
You have proven it today.
- Thank you so much. - Fantastic.
I have a complaint,
and I'm serious about this.
Firstly, when you sang the low notes,
I put on headphones to hear them clearly
and signalled to Shreya
that you were hitting the notes perfectly.
[Srijan singing a song]
But...
Have you ever visited a garden
where people go for a walk and exercise?
- Yes. - Have you ever seen it?
Your song had a rockstar energy,
but your walk didn't match it.
[laughing]
You lacked presentation.
How could you sing like this?
Please look at the audience.
We are listening to you.
We are enjoying your voice
and your song.
We react to everything,
but you don't care to see us.
[comical music playing]
[laughing]
If you continue singing like this,
people will look at you
because your voice attracts us.
So, please look us in the eye. Don't be shy.
- Okay. - All right?
[audience cheering, applauding]
Thank you so much.
Srijan!
He is still not sure he has done well.
- He isn't sure. - Excuse me!
You sang well. We mean it.
- Thank you, sir. - My friend, you burned the bridge.
No. You build the bridge. Everything is fine.
You build bridges.
Would you believe you sang well if I kissed you?
No. I believe it.
Presenting Bihar's Basanti, Ritika Raj, on Indian Idol!
Mwah!
Hi, Ritika!
- Greetings, Adi. - How are you?
I'm fine. How are you?
I'm also fine.
We are fine, right?
[guffawing]
Look, who is here to support you?
She is checking the ceiling. Who will come from there?
[guffawing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[upbeat music playing]
[song playing]
Oh, my!
Mr Manoj Tiwari.
- Gosh! - [song playing]
Wow!
- Aha! Wonderful! - Well sung.
[Manoj Tiwari singing a song]
[Manoj Tiwari continues singing a song]
Bravo! Fabulous!
Greetings!
I bow down to you.
May God bless you.
Sir, I feel great.
I feel as if my parents have come
as you are from Bihar.
[audience cheering, applauding]
- Shreya, I have three daughters. - Okay.
Ritika Raj is my fourth daughter.
- Thank you! - Wonderful!
As I consider her a daughter,
can I give her something I brought for her?
Sure, sir.
- Sure. - Mister!
Please fetch an item from my bag.
Wow!
Amazing.
The first item
is a veena which is Goddess Saraswati's blessings.
My dear, these are sweets
from Kankarbagh, Patna.
While blessing someone,
we also give something called, 'pushpa patra'.
I'm gifting you some money as well.
My dear, I wish you great success.
I'll watch your performance today. Prove yourself today.
Just do it.
- That's it. - Well said. Bravo!
Wonderful!
[musical instruments playing]
'Aha!'
[Ritika singing a song]
'Ritika Raj, 26. Patna.'
'Film: Loafer. Singer: Asha Bhosle.'
Well sung.
[Ritika singing a song]
That's new.
- Wonderful! - Bravo!
Aha!
Fabulous.
She is wonderful.
Amazing.
'Well sung.'
Aha!
Oh, my!
Well sung.
Ooh!
- Wow! - Woo-hoo!
- Whoa!
Wow!
Whoa!
- Ritika! - Yes.
- Wow! - Ritika, what have you done?
What have you done, Ritika?
The variations you showed in this song
were genuinely at a professional level.
You maintained the Indian variations and expressions.
The antara was wonderful.
And the twist you gave was amazing.
You gave it a personal touch.
You ended the song with a sargam.
That was so perfect.
Your entire performance
had a concert-level quality.
Thank you, Shreya.
Can I say something, please?
Basanti, you never seek permission.
[guffawing]
Of course. Please say it.
I want to tell you
that you're like an angel in my life.
You showed trust in me
during the Theatre Round.
You trusted me like a mother and an angel.
I give you the credit for helping me
regain my confidence.
Thank you.
Today I'm singing well because of you.
Thank you, Ritika.
Why shouldn't I trust you?
You're ready in every sense
to mesmerise this world.
This is my duty.
I believe you'll do better.
This is just the beginning.
Okay, Shreya. I promise you.
[clapping]
- [giggling] - Hey!
- What's up? - I love it!
[guffawing]
You're adorable.
Mark my words.
She is a Bihari, and she will outdo everyone.
[audience cheering, applauding]
I'll rechristen her today.
She is 'Humnifestor', not a manifester.
Ah!
I wanted to say that.
We think alike, bro!
That's great.
You remind me of the list of stars from Bihar.
Aha!
- Shatrughan Sinha. - Well said.
Udit Narayan, Manoj Bajpayee,
Pankaj Tripathi, and Sharda Sinha.
I'm recalling the stars
from Bihar because this list
could have one more name added to it, Ritika Raj.
[audience cheering, applauding]
People will line up for her concerts.
She is one such singer.
I just want to know
how one fulfils their wish.
Firstly,
a person should have unshakeable faith
and visualisation.
- I can visualise something. - What is it, sir?
Suppose I want to be a judge
on Indian Idol.
- Oh, my! - Sir, you already are.
- Sir, I understand. - Not really.
Why are you eyeing my chair?
[guffawing]
Why do politicians always crave a position?
[guffawing]
Four chairs can be adjusted here.
One is bound to be nervous if Manoj Tiwari eyes their chair.
[guffawing]
Ritika does something more.
She clicks a photo.
Her hands are blessed
because when she clicks a photo and pastes it on her cupboard,
it becomes a reality.
- Please click my photo. - Sure.
Please click a photo of four chairs.
Please click it in a way that my dream manifests.
Hang on. Let's shrink the frame.
- Sir, please don't leave your chair. - Please don't!
- Please don't leave it. - She will click a photo.
[laughing]
It's all about the chair.
Sir, you're right.
Don't leave your chair.
[Manoj Tiwari singing a song]
Aha!
Well sung. Beautiful!
"Hey! Hey!"
[Manoj Tiwari singing a song]
Bravo!
[Badshah singing a song]
- Fantastic! Bravo! - Wonderful!
It was amazing. I loved it.
Thank you, Indian Idol.
The living legend, Usha Mangeshkar!
[song playing]
[background music]
Ma'am, do you know who is sitting on your left?
[laughing]
"Your son, Badshah!"
Badshah is happy as well as nervous today.
- You're right. - He is sitting right next to Ms Usha.
I know him.
He escorted me here.
That's how I know him.
Well said.
Tai, did you recognise me?
- He is Udit's son. - I recognise you.
[chuckling]
Aditya, it's fine if she didn't recognise me,
but she outright refused to acknowledge you.
[laughing]
Love you, Adi!
Aw!
[Aditya singing a song]
So, presenting, Vastav Kumar who brings
the culture of Punjab with him.
[audience cheering, applauding]
I get that but Ritika's Bengali bhangra was something.
Okay.
You all missed it.
- We need an action replay. Please do it again. - Please do it.
[Aditya singing a song]
Wonderful.
It was an amazing fusion-bhangra. Well done.
[musical instruments playing]
[Vastav singing a song]
'Vastav Kumar, 20. Gurdaspur.'
'Album: Single. Singer: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.'
'Musician: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Lyricist: Javed Akhtar.'
Wonderful!
[Vastav singing a song]
[musical instruments playing]
Yes.
[Vastav singing notes]
Wow!
- Wonderful! - Thank you.
Bravo! Well done!
I liked something.
You sang freely
and didn't try to stifle your voice.
You sang in your natural voice.
Thank you so much.
It was clear.
Your voice
was extremely free.
We call it "singing openly".
The vocal cords are open.
One shouldn't stifle themselves while singing.
- I liked that about your singing. - Thank you so much, ma'am.
Usha Tai, he sings even more freely.
- Really? - Yes.
Something about him was different today.
He sings the higher notes amazingly.
But ma'am finds it nice.
Thank you, ma'am.
This means it was just a trailer.
[guffawing]
The film must be even more impressive.
Shreya, don't you think
that he is exactly as he appears?
Vastav, you're officially in the top sixteen.
- Yes, he bagged the Platinum Mic. - You must celebrate that.
Celebrate it with your singing.
I'm one of the top sixteen.
I was ecstatic to receive the Platinum Mic.
- Hmm. - Later on,
I told my family that I was coming back with the Platinum Mic
and after reaching there,
I saw a crowd outside my house.
When I entered the house,
I realised that my grandmother was dead.
[poignant vocalising]
[melancholic song playing]
Ma'am, I never cry publicly.
After reaching home...
Before coming to Mumbai,
I took my grandmother's blessings,
and she insisted that I win.
[song playing]
I had hugged her before coming.
When I went back, I couldn't find her in the house.
I took the mic so that I could so it to my grandma.
When I went looking for her, I saw her photograph.
Two days before the theatre round, she passed away. I didn't know.
[song playing]
My grandma has taken more care of me
than my parents.
Because when they would go to do the shows
my grandma would take care of me.
This happened twice. When my dad had a heart attack, I wasn't there.
And when my grandma died, I wasn't with her.
[emotional music playing]
Sir, I...
I'm happy that I've come to Mumbai,
but I've cried for the first time, because I'm always laughing.
But...
At the moment, I'm heartbroken.
I don't let anyone know my true feelings.
If I cry, my whole family cries.
That's why I suppress my sadness and keep laughing.
So that no one else feels sad because of me.
[sombre music playing]
On a personal level, I'd like to say
that we are all here for you.
Many people go through this.
And it happens often, it's a very...
There are difficulties in life
but please understand that Idol is a family.
We are all with you.
Stay strong. And if you ever feel low, remember we are with you.
Sir, the thing that hurt the most was
that my grandma passed away on my birthday.
[flute playing]
I...
I have never
thought that this would ever happen.
[vocalising]
I would like to tell you something.
We lost Mother Saraswathi
in front of our eyes,
from our house.
[violin playing]
But we never feel that she's gone.
We feel that she's with us.
[violin playing]
You should also think that your grandma has not gone anywhere,
and that she's watching your performance.
The sadness with which you sang,
it showed that you were lost in the song.
You were lost in some other thoughts.
You sang so well despite carrying your sadness,
I think your path is very clear
and you will make a very good name for yourself.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
[applauding]
Very good, Vastav. Come on.
Come and sit.
Presenting, the Physics expert, Ranjini Sengupta.
[applauding]
Hello.
Hello, ma'am.
[laughing]
Tell me something. Last time you sent us into a multiverse.
if you have to send the contestants somewhere, where would you send them?
I will talk about Manasi, because I'm closest to her.
- Oh-ho. - So when I
- Sorry. - think of her, I think she'd be a chicken.
[chicken crowing]
[laughing]
She'll run and the humans will chase her.
You're very cruel.
Is this your friendship?
It's nice.
Nice, nice.
Srijan would be a ribbon in some alternate dimension.
Because whoever comes into his life... Leaves him.
[laughing]
[song playing]
You roasted everyone very well. Now let's hear you sing.
Okay. All the best.
Thank you.
[vocalising]
Nice.
'Go, baby.'
[singing]
Ah-ha.
Wow.
[vocalising]
[singing]
'Is it?'
'So what?'
Thank you so much.
Whoa.
- Whoo-hoo. - Wow.
[cheering]
Wow.
It was very good.
I had sung the first song with Manna Da.
I was finding it a little tough, because of the words, 'Aie aie o.'
It's not my style.
And I had to say it continuously, which I found tough to do.
The notes were also very high.
Manna Da explained it to me well, so I was able to sing.
And you sang very well.
Thank you.
[music playing]
I wanted to ask you something.
How did you develop an interest in studying?
My grandma has a proverb
in Bengali. 'Even if you don't have money in your pocket,
it's a must to have knowledge in your stomach.'
It means, that even if you don't have money in your wallet
it's a must to have knowledge in your stomach,
because knowledge is the one that brings food to your stomach.
[applauding]
When I was growing up
we were never financially well-off.
And I lost my father when I was 14 years old.
It was just my sister, mother, grandmother and me.
My grandma became an anchor for all of us.
She was like our shed.
- She gave us shade. - That's great. - Yes.
She's 87 years old.
And she is somebody I look up to.
Just like how she supported us, I also want to
give her the shade
through Indian Idol.
I want to tell her, 'Grandma, you can retire now.'
'I will take care of you.'
- Wow. So sweet. - That's a lovely thought.
Such a nice thought.
Very nice.
[happy music playing]
I love you.
Grandma, I also love you.
Ranjini, you're my favourite.
Thank you.
And the songs that you choose are usually duets.
Yes.
You take the role of both
and sing it like a superstar.
- You sang very well. And your... - Thank you.
We especially wait for the new, highest note ever
at the end.
The 'Everest' note.
We wait eagerly for it.
It's your trademark. We know it'll come, but when?
We can't predict it.
We feel like it's coming, but it hasn't come.
- At that time you went low. We were like, 'Oh, no.' - 'Oh, no.'
[vocalising]
Thank you.
- I loved it. Fantastic. - Thank you so much.
Thank you.
[song playing]
[vocalising]
[laughing]
These are two music giants.
They are great singers of Indian music. Please capture this.
We have looked up to them.
- Here they are. - But
- Vishal Dadlani and Shreya Ghoshal. - no longer.
Please show their antics.
- We can also see. - Show it, please.
Is it? Honour.
- Save the honour. - Honour.
PWQTIPBG, meaning presenting
[laughing]
the one who asked her numerologist and has brushed her teeth 12 times.
Myscmme Bosu.
Hi Myscmme.
- Hi, Aditya. - Just for you
a special person has come
who has done numerological predictions
for likes of Tripti Dimri,
almost all the cricketers and the Ambanis.
He has predicted the future of every big actor.
And today, he is going to
predict your future, Myscmme.
Please welcome numerologist number one
honoured with the 'Bharat Nirman' award
the Sanjay B Jumaani.
[cheering]
[applauding]
Mr Sanjay, welcome to Indian Idol.
And we are honoured that you're here to support Myscmme.
Why are you here to support her?
Well, because she's a very stubborn girl.
- That's the first thing. - Yes.
- And I like stubborn people. - Hmm.
I was and still am a stubborn boy.
To begin with,
you made a comeback with your
strong will, hard work, talent,
parents' blessings and numerological factors.
Interestingly, your name was brought to number six for Venus.
And this is your sixth attempt.
- Did you notice that? - Yes, sir.
But you did not notice one thing
that after your birthday, you will be 24 years old.
Oh, yes...
- 24 adds up to six. - That way, it is also six.
For Venus. And Venus stands for entertainment.
And which season of Indian Idol is going on?
15.
- 15 adds to six. - Six.
No wonder this
season is going to be brilliant.
Far better than the other seasons which were very good also.
So whatever the numerologist has suggested you
- you have tasted it first hand. - Yes, sir.
Follow a few of my suggestions too.
- Of course, sir. - Like...
This is a very big thing for me, that I'm meeting you personally.
Ever since I learnt about numerology
I heard your name first.
But of course, I did not have the medium to reach you.
To get to you.
So, as per my status
I tried to go as far as I could.
Don't talk about status first
- because we are approachable. - Yes, sir.
Secondly, you did not come to me, instead, I came to you.
Thank you so much, sir.
Thank you.
A big round of applause for Mr Sanjay.
Please join us, sir.
[music playing]
[vocalising]
Wow.
[singing]
Wow.
That's great.
- So grand. - Yes.
Yes, better.
Wow. That's great.
What a song.
Yes.
Whoa.
[applauding]
- Thank you. - What a performance.
A big round of applause for our musicians.
They played so well.
Beautiful as always.
Outstanding. Really outstanding.
- Myscmme. - Yes, ma'am.
- It was so... - We all miss you, Shreya.
- Sorry. - I miss you too.
I'm missing you even though you're right here.
Myscmme.
As soon as the song begins, it opens up.
'Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum' has such a calling to it
and Ms Lata's voice echoes in the ears.
Especially in this song.
[singing]
It was coming so well, so clean.
But if these things are missed out from Myscmme's singing
then this song won't have an impact at all.
I love the fact that you pay attention to details.
Whether it's the 'meend' or the graph or the dynamics,
all the small details...
This is just a small detail,
but it has an impact.
That is also a part of the expression.
You give a complete and beautiful
form to the song and kudos to you for that.
Amazing.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
Well done.
This song is one among my top five favourite songs.
When you finished the song
it was beautiful.
But I did not understand something, but when ma'am
began singing, I got the answer.
You sang the song very well,
but there is a strange sadness in this song.
[sombre music playing]
And when you were singing, you were singing very happily.
Some times
you should fulfil the song as required.
When ma'am began to sing it
she was happy,
but as soon as she started singing it
she went into that zone and I realised which zone it was.
[tense music playing]
I felt that difference slightly.
Maybe you have to learn that.
- Yes, sir. - There's a word, 'Loneliness.'
- Yes. - This song depicts loneliness.
- What you're talking about exactly - Exactly.
is the meaning of 'loneliness.'
A sense of longing.
It's not that it's a sad song.
What you're saying is very true.
You said about the calling.
The calling for her love. She's looking for it.
- You know. - It's not there.
- It's there, but it's not there. - Exactly.
- The exact sensation has to come in the song for the listener. - Yes.
- So well put. Really well put. - Thank you.
That's all Myscmme.
You sing so well.
You have to only see which page to read in the book.
Thank you, sir.
A big round of applause for Myscmme.
[applauding]
Vishal sir.
Surya 'bhai' and Pushpa 'bhai' are no longer trending.
And Rocky 'bhai.'
A new don has entered from the South.
Anirudh Suswaram also known as 'Sursuri bhai.'
'Sursuri bhai?'
Presenting 'Sursuri bhai,' ready to destroy,
Anirudh Suswaram.
[peppy song playing]
Wow.
[drum beats]
[vocalising]
[singing]
- Ah-ha. - Wow.
Wow.
Whoa. Well done.
Ah-ha.
Whoa.
Whoo.
Whoa.
[applauding]
[cheering]
[applauding and cheering]
- Thank you. - Wow.
If anyone calls you 'Sursuri bhai' once again,
if anyone calls you 'Sursuri bhai' once again,
[laughing]
then you tell that person,
'I'm fire.'
I'm fire.
This fire...
You set the stage on fire. You were playing with the flames of fire.
It means a lot, ma'am. Thank you.
'Sursuri bhai' is definitely not suiting you.
What name have you people given him?
Let me tell you something. You've quit your job, right?
Have you quit or not?
- No, ma'am. - No?
My dad told me not to.
Oh, no.
I think we have to speak to your boss. We will call your boss
and we want you to quit your job.
Because if this is how you're performing,
do you really know which direction you're going in?
You have got to have that confidence in life.
Because this performance was something else.
This is not the Anirudh I know.
I think there is a change right after that theatre round.
- And when it started with 'Srivalli' - What happened?
What happened in the theatre round?
How did all this change come through?
- How did the time and emotions change? - You weren't there.
[laughing]
He's moved from playback directly to play front.
I'm sweating.
The song that I chose for the theatre round and audition round...
- That... - Okay, you're telling me what happened.
Sir?
This is very cute.
You got the name 'Sursuri' because of this.
Apart from that you're
- fire. - You're fire.
Thank you, ma'am.
I think you're definitely going on the top.
Top five.
[song playing]
The bridges broke.
It was a bridge breaking performance.
Thank you, sir.
Exactly. They were standing. I was sitting and holding the bridge.
Because the bridge was broken.
[applauding]
Mr Sanjay, what would you like to say about Anirudh?
I pray that you don't have to work for anyone else,
but from next year after your birthday
you're in for a very glorious time.
You're made for the entertainment industry.
- Thank you, sir. - Yes.
- Thank you.
I also predicted this.
Let's hear it for Suswaram.
One with 100 notes.
[song fades]
[applauding]
[upbeat music playing]
Welcome.
- Hi, guys. - Hello.
Arjun, welcome to Indian Idol.
What an honour. Thank you for having me.
- You're a shining light of the Indie scene. - Yes.
- Thank you so much. - You're a composer, singer, producer
and you're everything, dude.
So many people love you so much.
It's really wonderful to have you supporting Ipsit. Thank you for that.
Thank you for having me. What an honour.
[applauding]
I have listened to Ipsit.
He's got a very grand, big voice.
So, I thought
it will be a good chance for me to come and support him.
That's wonderful. Thank you.
I'm not able to believe
that Mr Arjun, whose songs we used to play at parties to enjoy,
I entered with him.
Such a big, grand entry...
I'm just speechless.
'I'm just speechless.'
Arjun, a wonderful song by you, 'Ilzaam' has just been released.
And we would love to listen to you sing it live for us,
but for the time being please join us
and Ipsit, all the best, brother.
- Thank you. - Kill it, man.
Whoa.
Oh-ho.
[vocalising]
[singing]
Wow.
Thank you.
Whoo.
Wow.
Ipsit, bro, what was happening?
Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
This was genuinely very bad.
Very bad, I mean the notes were not right.
I'm sorry, but you can't come on this stage
and after such performances,
if you sing like this,
then it's clear who is going home.
[tense music playing]
Please, brother. You cannot do this.
It's a legendary song.
There is so much energy, joy and vibe in this.
When anyone listens to you singing the hook line,
whoever listens to it, will say, 'This is my song.'
'I will sing it.'
You're not doing justice to the song
if you come here and sing like this.
We've heard you sing better.
You must do better.
- Okay. - Yes, sir.
Good luck.
As they say, when
there is coordination between a husband and wife
then life becomes wonderful.
And when husband and wife's melody, rhythm and beat are the same
then life becomes amazing.
Think about it.
- Think about it. - A similar pair is coming on the stage now.
Please welcome the super hit singer of 'Makhna'
'Bolna,' 'Ve Maahi,' 'Raataan Lambiya,' 'Ve Kamleya,'
Filmfare Award winner, Asees Kaur.
And the trendsetter of trendy songs like

music director, singer, lyricist Goldie Sohel.
Wow.
'Asees Kaur, singer. Goldie Sohel, singer, composer, lyricist.'
[cheering]
Hi, Asees. Hi, Goldie.
Your new song, 'Mehram' has released. It's a beautiful song.
Please tell us something about it.
This song is basically a prayer.
This is our conversation with God.
We hope that whoever listens to this song feels motivated.
You must listen to it if you ever feel low.
This will give that energy.
How about singing
a couple of lines for us and our contestants?
[cheering and applauding]
[singing]
Thank you so much.
A big round of applause for them.
