'Nana Patekar, Actor.'
- How are you, son? - I'm good, sir. How are you?
I'm good.
- Sir! - How are you?
I'm fine. Good!
You sing so beautifully.
Thank you, sir. I'm so excited that you came.
Greetings, sir. How are you?
- How are you? - I'm good, sir. So good to have you.
But sir, you're ready to sit. We prepared the entire entry for you.
- Through the LED... - I am an ordinary person
and will always remain an ordinary person.
- That is for the stars. - But, sir...
- What are you saying, sir? - Where to sit?
Here.
All right.
Greetings!
Nana! Nana!
Nana sir, greetings. Welcome to Indian Idol.
Friends, in today's era, where people don't upload
even a single picture without a filter, there is a person
who is known for his unfiltered talks.
That's why every adult and child in this country is a fan of his style.
Everyone who sees him on screen says, 'He's good!'
'He's good!'
And when he does comedy, he makes people laugh so much
that the public says, 'Control, Uday! Control!'
[joyful music]
It is a matter of great fortune for us
that after 20 years of Indian Idol,
Sir came here for the first time, and we're so fortunate and lucky.
They never actually called me.
[laughing]
Impossible, sir! This is impossible
- and if it is true... - Unfiltered.
What were you doing, guys?
But anyway, sir, it's an honour to have you.
I always watch your program.
Kids, you sing really well.
Wonderful! Who sang 'Yaad Piya Ki Aaye'?
- Sneha. - Amazing!
I had a very dear friend who passed away recently. Rashid Khan.
So I would always call him and say, 'Rashid, sing this song for me'.
- Then he would sing for me on the call for half an hour. - Wow!
I am very lucky that I have terrific friends
and you have also joined them today. Thank you.
All the best.
- Is there an elimination today? - Yes, sir.
Is someone going to leave today?
- Yes, sir. - Someone is going to leave today.
Whoever it is, you can come with me.
All the best. All the best.
Sir, you must have heard about Mr Rajamouli's RRR.
But we will introduce you to Idol's RRR, 'Rotlu' Ritika Raj.
[laughing]
'Rotlu?'
While everyone was laughing in the theatre after watching
your film Welcome, Ritika was crying.
'Mr Nana is selling vegetables for so long...'
[laughing]
'But he has not sold any potatoes'
'or even half an onion since morning.'
[laughing]
Bihar's Basanti, Ritika Raj.
[jolly music]
She talks a lot. She is our Basanti. Little one.
First thing, Ritika is getting a lot of fans.
But you have a fan who is upset with you.
- What did I do? - Actually, she is here, so let's ask her.
[comical music]
- It's me! - Oh, it's you!
- Greetings, ma'am! - Greetings.
[comical music]
- Well, you know who she is? - She is my mother.
- Oh! - Oh!
- Yeah, she said mother, right? - She said mother, not mom.
Oh, my baby! Oh, wow!
She's so cute!
She is Ritika's mother, so she must be cute.
- I thought you were unwell. - But you look so thin, dear!
[laughing]
- Please come, ma'am. - You look like a balloon on TV.
- Hi! - Hi! Hello, ma'am!
- Greetings! - Oh, my God!
You do look like Ritika's mother.
- Her voice is exactly the same. - Same!
That sweet and lovely voice.
- Do you sing too? - No, sir, sorry. I don't sing.
- Okay, all right. - Thank you.
[laughing]
So, mother, I want to know from you
that whatever is being discussed about her manifestation,
has she been doing it since always?
Yes, she has been doing this for a long time,
but I have a complaint about her manifestation that she manifests,
but think about what I have to do because of that.
The biggest problem was that she manifested that she wanted
to go to Mumbai and she came.
But she left me alone at home and came.
The house feels so lonely.
- It doesn't feel good at all. - When I become successful,
then you will say that whatever I did was good.
Nana sir is asking who else is in your family.
- Oh, in my family? - Yes.
Yeah, I mean, you both live in the same house, right?
Besides you, who else is there in your family?
My son and her brother. He is two years older than her.
- And? - Husband.
Does he ever speak?
[laughing]
So, ma'am, you are watching our show regularly, right? You follow us?
I watch it. I wonder why every day isn't Saturday.
- You have a point. - Wow!
So, ma'am, please sit. Let us know if you need anything.
I don't need anything, son. I'm more than happy to be here.
What else? I have got so much without even asking for it.
Such a lovely son I have now.
- And a lovely daughter. - Aww!
And greetings to you.
Me...
How lovely am I? What am I?
Who am I to you?
You are...
[laughing]
Elder brother.
Brother, right? Then say you got a lovely brother.
Of course, you're lovely. No need to say it.
I've heard this for the first time.
[laughing]
Superb!
And mother, what about me?
- I am also doing good, right? - Oh, you already live in my heart.
- The way you took care of her. - Yeah...
Look, I have posted it in my story.
Oh, have you? I'll see it for sure.
'I have posted it in my story.' She is so cool.
Thank you, mother. Please sit and enjoy the show.
A big round of applause for her.
Wonderful!
- Look at her energy! - So nice!
[singing song]
[drums playing]
[singing song]
Whoa!
Wow!
[singing song]
Oh, wow!
That's amazing, man!
[drums playing]
[keyboard playing]
[singing song]
Oh, wow!
Lovely!
[keyboard playing]
[singing song]
Wow!
Wow! Whoa!
Lovely! Beautiful!
Absolutely lovely! It sounded lovely to my ears.
I'm a complete novice. I have absolutely no tune here.
So when I see anything like this, it feels like a feast.
Amazing! It was lovely.
- It was great. - Thank you so much, sir.
Ritika, you sing so expressively and with so much fun
that I loved listening to it in your voice.
[singing]
I really like the way you sang it in your style.
In the song, 'Leke Pahla Pahla Pyar'
you gave it a new western style improvisation,
[singing]
It felt very natural,
and not over the top.
You hit a big sixer and moved ahead.
Incredible, wonderful.
Thank you, ma'am.
Ritika, it was very nice.
You sang wonderfully. In fact,
though I make many remakes, we hear in many places
that for the sake of reinvention, the song is ruined.
But your voice sounded perfect.
You sang beautifully.
Thank you, sir.
Judges, please give your scores for Ritika's performance.
Thank you, Ritika.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hey... - I have a question for Badshah.
- For you. - Yes, please.
This rapper that you do...
I mean rapping, not rapper.
This is very cute.
I mean it.
How do you do it, son?
[laughing]
It's so nice to listen to,
that even if there is someone who is feeling sick,
and are unable to move their limbs,
even they will stand up and begin to dance.
Ma'am, whatever you're saying,
if you say it with a little rhythm,
even that will sound like rap.
[laughing]
There is a group in Patna, called Bihar Birangana.
Every time we have an event, kitty party,
or a small function, we surely play your rap songs then.
- Thank you. - All the ladies
dance like crazy after that.
Whatever comes to their mind.
All they do is just jump around.
This particular song of yours,
'When you sway as you walk,'
- 'Then you crush the hearts of the guys.' - 'Hearts of the guys.'
- 'Their breaths come to a pause. I'm going crazy now. - Going crazy.'
Please say the rest of the lyrics.
[laughing]
[singing rap song]
[singing]
[singing rap song]
- Ah-ha. - Oh...
We are proud of you, Mr Badshah.
We are proud of you.
- I have one more question. - One more?
My life has become a big question mark.
Who is coming next?
Oh, sir... I will call them.
Presenting, the one whose voice
has all the feels in this world of reels, Priyangshu Dutta.
[applauding]
[singing]
Wow.
[keyboard playing]
[singing]
Wow...
[singing]
Wonderful.
[singing]
Wow.
[singing]
[song playing]
Wow. Wonderful.
[applauding]
Son, can you please sing once more?
Once more, please.
[applauding]
[singing]
Amazing.
[applauding]
Priyangshu, what a comeback.
What a comeback.
[applauding]
This is what I wanted.
Completely untrained.
He has never learnt music formally.
Son,
you must have heard of Pandit Bhimsen Joshi.
- Yes, sir. - He was
an amazing classical singer.
In Kundgol,
he and Gangubai Hangal
learnt music from the same Guru.
Sawai Gandharva was their Guru.
Living in a Gurukul meant doing all the things yourself.
Filling water, washing clothes,
doing the dishes and many other things.
They would spend the whole day working.
And Gangubai would teach him.
She would live close by.
So after sunset, when it got dark,
he would go to drop her home.
On the way Gangubai would tell Bhimsen,
'I learnt this today.'
And she would sing it for him.
Pandit Bhimsen Joshi would assimilate from her.
The attitude that you possess,
of listening and learning,
that's how he also learnt.
I'm telling you the truth.
After many days, something has...
I'm a stone-hearted person.
But that was amazing.
My eyes are damp. You sang wonderfully.
Thank you so much, sir.
Thank you so much.
98 per cent is hard work.
And the hard work that you put is excellent.
You forced me to stand up.
It was amazing. It was wonderful.
Wow. Love you, son.
- Love you. - Thank you so much.
[applauding]
He's said such a big thing. I did not know this.
I mean Pandit Bhimsen Joshi
- learnt singing like this and to what a level he went to. - Yes.
There is no one like him.
If he can do it,
then you can also do it with your hard work,
if your willpower is strong.
And I've seen that hard work in you. There is a definite change.
I mean, even after you have finished singing,
the essence of the song is still lingering.
This is the impact of your song
when you sing like this,
Priyangshu, my feeling was the same even for 'O Bedardeya.'
I was waiting to feel the same
because there is a depth in your voice.
Feel. Priyangshu means 'feel.'
And that 'feel' has come today.
The feel was such, that both of them stood up, but I couldn't move.
You sang very well Priyangshu.
Thank you so much, sir.
Priyangshu, Begum Akhtar Bai had a performance once.
And no one applauded after her performance.
So, the tabla player said,
'Akhtar Bai, no one applauded for us today.'
'There's pin-drop silence.'
So, Akhtar Bai said,
'This silence is the purpose of our lives.'
- Wow! - Oh!
- Wow! - What else can we expect?
We should be capable enough to render everyone speechless.
And your performance rendered us speechless. Well done.
Thank you so much, sir. It means a lot.
Thank you so much.
Your performance made us emotional.
But Chaitanya also got emotional.
Chaitanya, what happened?
I have been wanting to tell you this for a long time.
I couldn't sing the song properly
until last night, ma'am.
I couldn't memorise the song.
But Chaitanya
taught me the song last night.
He rectified my mistakes.
He spent a couple of hours to teach me the song.
So, I want to thank Chaitanya for that. - It's okay.
This performance was for you.
I am proud of you.
- Thank you so much. - So proud of you.
Well done.
- Chaitanya, I heard your singing when you were a kid. - Yes, sir.
You were quite young at that time.
- That's when I heard your singing. - Yes, sir.
Will you sing today or not?
I have already performed.
- Really? - Yes, sir.
You can sing a few lines for him.
Please sing any few lines.
Chaitanya, sing 'Khel Mandala'.
- 'Khel Mandala'? - Yes.
- Come here. - Come to the stage.
Come quickly.
[cheering and applause]
[Chaitanya singing]
Wow!
[cheering and applause]
Oh! Well done!
Amazing!
[Chaitanya singing]
Wow!
[Chaitanya singing]
Oh!
Wow!
- Amazing! Wow!
- Thank you, sir. - He changed the atmosphere.
- Wow! - Wow!
Adi, sorry. I want to say something.
Yes, please go on.
- It's about Chaitanya. - Okay.
- He is a huge fan of Mr Patekar. - Really?
And he mimics him really well.
Are you serious?
Yes. - Oh!
- Hey, come on. Get started. - Get started.
Get started. Come on.
If you don't do it well, you will be whacked.
[laughing]
Sir, I am a huge fan of yours.
Yes, you are fanning me enough.
Start mimicking me now.
I want to see myself.
- Oh my God. He is standing right in front of him. - Oh, God!
Are you hear to see me die?
[laughing]
Are you hear to see me die?
I will be on my deathbed for a while.
Then, my tongue and eyeballs will pop out.
And my elder brother will bring my body down.
You will go home, eat and sleep.
I have nothing to tell you. Nothing.
You are addicted to being slaves.
Earlier, you used to serve the royal families.
Then, you served the British.
And now, you serve these corrupt politicians and goons.
They influence you in the name of religion.
And you fight with each other. Go on. Kill each other!
God must be so ashamed of His creation.
He thought He created a beautiful creature. A human being.
But all of you have turned into insects.
Whoa!
[applause]
Wow! Amazing!
- Thank you. - Don't become an actor.
We also need to earn.
[laughing]
[light-hearted music playing]
- Very good! - Oh my God!
He did quite well.
Yes. This boy did it.
Coming up next is the salesman of singlehood.
Mr Intern, Srijan Porail.
[cheering and applause]
[music playing]
[Srijan singing]
[laughing]
[music playing]
[Srijan singing]
[laughing]
- Wow! - Nice!
[Srijan singing]
Whoa! I see!
[singing in chorus]
Wow!
Nice!
[Srijan singing]
Well!
Oh! Keep people hanging!
Yeah!
- He got it. - Yes.
- Well done, Srijan! - Thank you so much.
- Wow! - I had heard the original version first and now, this. Wow!
- Very well sung, dear. - Thank you so much.
Well done.
This style suits the new generation.
Thank you so much.
It was perfect.
I mean, for our generation.
- These people are old. - Are we?
- Very nice. Good job. - Thank you, sir.
Well done.
Srijan, look at your body language.
From strolling in the park
to looking in the eyes... Oh my God!
Everyone, wait.
The way you took that pause.
You've embraced swag! Amazing!
Thank you so much.
Srijan, what a performance!
It is always a joy to watch you perform.
Whether you stroll around
or perform like this,
your vibe is always positive.
It was a jaw-dropping performance. We miss Vishal...
He would have surely praised you if he were here today.
Thank you so much, sir.
Judges, please give him scores.
[applause]
Presenting the one who has no one in his life.
She only believes in numerology.
M-Y-S-C-M-M-E. Myscmme Bosu!
[cheering and applause]
Greetings, ma'am and sir.
What is the game of numbers called?
- Numerology. - Numerology. - Numerology.
- Do you believe in that? - Yes, sir.
Okay, tell me. Who will win?
Sir, according to numerology,
- I think... - Yes.
Please don't mind.
I think, Manasi.
Wow!
What should be my age according to you?
[laughing]
- Wow. - Tell us his age according to numerology.
Sir, I think
- 44 or 45. - 43. Right.
- Absolutely right. - Right answer!
Whoa!
That girl was here.
I am her mother's younger brother.
[laughing]
I am really happy.
No one has ever been able to guess my age correctly.
- Wow! - But she did.
- Perfect. 43. Absolutely. - Oh my God! 43? Is it perfect?
Thank you, sir.
You just need to add 31 to it.
- 43 + 31? - Yes.
- What? - Are you serious, sir?
Sir...
It means your numerology
is good-for-nothing. Right?
[laughing]
[comical song playing]
It was a flop, sir.
Now, sing without any hesitation.
That's the truth. Forget about the rest.
Don't wear any stones.
This is an unfiltered Nana Patekar for you.
Myscmme, your numerology has already been proven fake.
But still, according to the numbers,
who is fake among these 15?
[tense music]
Sir, you'll get me in trouble.
Oh, my!
Sir, I don't need numerology to figure out that.
It's the one who I said would win.
- Manasi? - Manasi.
- Oops. - Yes.
I think I am taking this as an compliment.
Because if you try to do something better in life,
people criticise you. They think about you.
Myscmme, you think about me. Thank you so much.
I do. I think so much about you.
- Thank you. - I want you to be the winner. I think that.
But when she is with us,
she is inherently cute.
But I feel when she comes to the stage,
she becomes a little fake.
[tense music]
Oh!
I feel she is quite talented. She doesn't need this fake aspect.
That annoys me a little bit.
Myscmme, that is called stage appearance.
- Thank you. - No, it's not. See. this is also stage appearance.
See. I am also there.
Whoa!
She is 24 and I am 22.
Why don't you act your age?
Whoa!
[mimicking intense music]
Whoa!
- Please sing now, Myscmme. - Yes, I'll sing.
Sing the chorus well.
Don't ruin it.
- Now, I will ruin it. - No, don't ruin it.
Let me tell you this. This is the most honest batch
- of Indian Idol. - I know.
- Exactly. - You are so upfront. I love it.
- Be like this. - But stay chill, babe.
Oh, yeah!
Okay.
Come on. Start singing now.
All the best.
[Myscmme humming]
Wow!

[Myscmme singing]
Oh, wow!

[chorus]
[Myscmme singing]
[applause]
Wow!
Very nice.
- Very nice. It's from 'Khamoshi', right? - Yes, sir.
You sang very well.
It was the first day of my shoot for this song.
[music playing]
I recalled those memories.
It has been 30-35 years.
You sung very well.
Very well done.
[applause]
Sir, first, I couldn't understand
the meaning of this song.
I couldn't understand the emotion.
Then, I watched your movie, 'Khamoshi'.
I cried so much. Oh, God!
I am again getting emotional.
I feel like crying thinking about it.
It was a very emotional movie.
And I tried my best
to convey the meaning...
I don't know why I am crying.
[sentimental music]
This is what happens, dear.
What is my plus point? Dialogue delivery.
[sentimental music]
And Sanjay cut my dialogues and asked me to play a mute man.
- Correct. What a... - Oh.
And I accepted it as a challenge.
I wanted to see what would come out of it without using my plus point.
It is a way of introspection.
- Wow! - And it's the best way.
It's okay. Take it easy.
[applause]
When I was listening to your performance,
I realised how involved you were in that performance.
I rarely get to see the singers
who live the character in that moment.
And Myscmme, I felt
you are an artist to watch out for. God bless you.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
- Well done, Myscmme. - Thank you so much.
Ritika and Myscmme, you have been collecting my handkerchiefs.
Will you wash and return them?
She praised you a lot.
Why don't you come here and sing a few lines?
[comical music]
Yes, you! The one wearing specs. Curly hair. Get up.
Come on. Come to the stage.
[comical music]
Come on. Get started.
[laughing]
[music playing]
[Manasi singing]
Yeah!
[Manasi singing]
Wow!
[Manasi singing]
Wow!
[chorus]
[Manasi singing]
Wow!
- Wow! - Wow!
[cheering and applause]
Wonderful!
This episode is going to be special
because we will have the director of the path-breaking film 'Gadar'
on this stage. So, please welcome
the superhit director and producer
of the upcoming film 'Vanvaas', Anil Sharma!
[applause]
Wow! What an atmosphere!
I have watched Indian Idol since the beginning.
I am quite excited to be here.
Sir, your new film 'Vanvaas'
- Please tell us about that. - Yes.
Your loved ones often abandon you.
This is happening in every family now.
Every elderly person living in your house
is feeling abandoned.
There is a lot of sadness in our society.
Be it in India or foreign.
That's the theme of the film 'Vanvaas'.
Now, it's time to call the leading pair of the film 'Vanvaas'.
So, let's welcome them with a huge round of applause.
Uttkarsh Sharma and Simrat Kaur!
[cheering and applause]
[Aditya singing]
Control! Control!

Did this really happy?
It was amazing.
You set the stage on fire.
You even sing difficult songs with ease.
- Yes. - I am always like,
you do things effortlessly like flowing water.
As if it is a cakewalk for you.
What you do is quite difficult.
Keeping the energy intact.
The song was completely on track.
You sang well, and I enjoyed it a lot. Fantastic.
Thank you so much.
- I don't understand how you do this. - Thank you so much.
You just stand in one place, and...
There is not even a sigh on your face.
No, no. He frowns.
Yes, he frowns.
Like, when Ritika sings, she has those expressions.
And she was even grooving during your performance now.
She had gone crazy.
Anyway, your dancing skills haven't improved, Ritika.
[laughing]
I love it.
But it was very smooth and beautiful.
It was a complete performance.
I enjoyed it a lot. You set the stage on fire.
Thank you so much.
You were singing an energetic song but your expressions were subtle.
I mean, amazing.
May you always progress.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
Judges, please give him scores.

Dharam Ji looked completely young and stood right in front of us.
Oh, man, you sing so effortlessly!
So effortlessly!
Just like water...
Like a waterfall...
Ksh... Ksh... it doesn't bother anyone, it just keeps flowing.
That's how your voice flows...
It's clear
that you are Shankar Shambhu Ji's granddaughter.
Shankar Shambhu was an exceptional 'Qawwali' artist.
You have inherited it.
- You have done a great job. - Thank you, sir.
- All the best, dear. All the best. - Thank you. It means a lot, sir.
Thank you.
I bought a car. It was an expensive car.
I used to discover a new feature in it every day.
Okay, it saves you from an accident.
The door closes automatically.
Then, I wondered if it could fly.
My expectations were so high.
The same thing is happening with you.
I want you to sing 'Mera Piya Ghar Aaya' the next time.
I will try my best.
When we were auditioning her,
there is a thing called a platinum mic.
It is given to the singer so that he reaches the top 15 directly.
I gave it to her.
'Sneha, I want to give this platinum mic to you.'
When she becomes a big star in the future,
I will tell my children a story.
They will say, do you know him?
No, no. This... This is how it is.
Thank you. I will be forever grateful, Mr Badshah.
Thank you so much.
I will be grateful.
I will tell you why.
I came to Indian Idol.
People say 'what kind of a judge has come to Indian Idol?'
'He doesn't have any knowledge about the melodies.'
I found this.
[chuckles]
I will be grateful.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Anil.
- Please make her sing in the next film. - Yes.
- She sings so well. - Very well... She sings so well.
Judges, please give the scores for Sneha's performance.
Thank you.

- Hi, Ipsit. - Yes, ma'am.
In the first episode, where I was present...
You missed a lot many notes in that performance.
So, I was listening to you
very carefully today.
You did miss notes,
but you had an emotion in your voice today.
You felt what you were singing.
Definitely, it was better than what you did in the previous episode.
- Good luck. - Thank you, ma'am.
Technically, no.
Vibe, yes.
- Right? - Hmm.
- It had a feeling. - It had a feeling.
I enjoyed it. I liked it.
Son, don't be afraid to slip.
There are many people who laugh.
- Sure, sir. - If you walk slowly out of the fear of slipping
then you won't be able to run.
Sing fearlessly! What's there to fear?
They'll give you 10, 8 or 7. That's their problem.
Sing for yourself. Don't sing for them.
- Yes, sir. - Okay? Love you.
Thank you, sir.
Judges, please score Ipsit's performance.
Thank you, Ipsit.

I thought, maybe
you don't know Hindi too well but...
You sang very well.
You sang very well. Very good.
They'll tell us about the melody and rhythm.
I'm a director, so I'll speak about emotion.
You captured the emotion very well. I'm thrilled.
Thank you, sir.
Anirudh, there's a lot of romance in this song.
And as Nana sir was saying,
if you don't pronounce the words correctly,
it loses its charm.
Like, 'baahon...'
[singing]
There is a syllable in 'baahon.'
It's not 'baaho.' It's 'baahon ke darmiyan.'
'Do pyaar mil rahe hain...' 'Hain...'
So for you to sing in Hindi,
you'll have to bring more precision in the diction.
Because I can hear the effort.
I want it to be more effortless.
Because you're very capable.
And the one who originally sang it, Hariharan sir,
he's also from the South.
And his pronunciation has never been flawed.
So you have to take care of that.
Judges, please give us the scores.
