The image you see behind me is the destiny of Indian cinema.
Normally, a mother gives birth to a child,
but Raj Kapoor was that child who gave birth to cinema.
[applause]
The very cinema that taught us
we mustn't love just one human being,
but all humankind.
The cinema that made us realise...
"A day will come when you shall turn to dust."
"Your words, however, shall live on."
Today, we celebrate 100 years of the showman Raj Kapoor.
[applause]
Joining us in this celebration
is the torch bearer of Raj Kapoor's legacy,
the superstar of Bollywood, Karisma Kapoor!
- Whoa! - [applause]
'Karisma Kapoor, Actress'
[applause continues]
Aww!
[confetti bursting]
[whooping]
I'd like to start
by thanking Indian Idol and Sony Entertainment Television
for hosting this grand show
dedicated to my grandfather.
[applause]
Tears have welled up in my eyes but I'm not going to cry
because I'm so happy.
And it's a very proud moment for me.
I have been on Indian Idol in the past too.
This show is an iconic show,
but today, to celebrate
my grandfather's 100th birth anniversary
is a very special moment for me.
[applause]
It's because I feel
that he shared a very deep bond
with music and songs.
And I don't know if the audience
or these very wonderful contestants know or not,
he used to make music also.
He wrote lyrics and even sang songs.
He was very fond of it.
I think this is extra special.
We're going to celebrate him here
and I'm waiting to hear all of you sing!
- Yay! - [applause]
This celebration is absolutely incomplete without you.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you for gracing this season.
- [song playing] - [applause]
To make this '100 Years of Raj Kapoor' night
even more special,
we have Subhajit and Myscmme
performing an iconic duet song of Raj Kapoor.
[applause]
[guitar strumming]
[music playing]
[Subhajit performing]
'Film - Chori Chori Singer - Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey'
'Music - Shankar-Jaikishan Lyrics - Shailendra'
[Myscmme vocalising]
[Myscmme performing]
[Subhajit singing]
[music playing]
[Subhajit singing]
[Myscmme singing]
[Subhajit and Myscmme singing]
[performance concludes]
[applause and cheer]
Thank you so much.
You sang beautifully.
- Thank you so much, ma'am. - Thank you so much. Thank you.
[applause]
What kids!
They nailed it. Subhajit, what vibes! Amazing.
[applause]
I think your chemistry is lovely.
You both did justice to the song.
You changed the mood.
- It's really like we are celebrating music. - Thank you.
Thank you so much, ma'am. Thank you.
Fantastic. I loved it.
'Awaara', 'Anari', 'Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai'...
He displayed his boldness with such films on the big screen.
And here to celebrate Raj Kapoor is the one
who shows her boldness on this stage week after week.
Idol's crazy girl, Manasi Ghosh.
[applause]
[music playing]
'Manasi Ghosh, 24 Years Kolkata'
'Film - Shree 420 Singer - Asha Bhosle, Manna Dey'
This song broke my brain.
Proper positive...
Nice.
It's mad. Mad.
[vocalisation]
[applause and cheer]
[Manasi singing]
Lovely.
Wow.
Wow!
[music intensifies]
[applause and cheer]
I was wondering what was going on.
It's mad.
[singing crescendos]
[performance concludes]
- Whoa! - [applause and cheer]
Whoa!
When the song began, I was telling Shreya
that this song broke my head a little when I was a child.
[laughter]
Genius composition. Genius!
[applause]
These are the people who've taught us
just from their sound.
I'm always grateful. Always grateful.
And you...
Manasi, I was not prepared for this.
[laughter]
You rocked it.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
[applause]
And I was prepared for this.
[laughter]
I had Manasi sing a song during the auditions.
[Manasi performing]
And after so many episodes,
you finally sang something that I really loved.
This is the side I wanted to hear.
[applause]
It also happens to be Asha's first superhit song.
[applause]
She was discovered in a big way
- through this song. - Wow.
Before this, Raj Kapoor gave her a chance.
I think he had Asha sing for the first time...
[sings 'Nanhe Munne Bachche']
She was a child singer at the time.
And a few years later, he gave her a chance to sing this song.
So, this song, in itself is a very iconic moment for us
because we got Asha Bhosle.
[applause]
I really love this new style of play front Manasi!
Keep it up. I loved it!
It was explosive!
- Thank you so much. - Fantastic.
[applause]
- Manasi, you bully everyone, don't you? - A lot.
- A lot. - A bit.
I know you have some Kapoor traits too.
You are very fond of non-veg.
- Oh, God! No one knew... - Just like us.
- Right? - Yes.
Then you should have been a Kapoor!
I'd have been a Kapoor
but you got Ranbir married to someone else.
Aww!
- So sad. - Okay, I'm so sorry.
[laughter]
I'm very happy to see that your filter...
- Unfiltered always. - No filter.
Sorry, Alia.
I'm also sorry but for myself.
[laughter]
Okay! See!
Like the Kapoors, honest and unfiltered.
All of us are like that.
[applause and cheer]
So, you won't ask me any questions.
- No, ma'am. You can't say that. - Please.
- I'm too stressed, please. - I prepared ten questions for you.
- Oh, no! - Just three.
- Since you're requesting, so three questions, please. - Huh?
Okay. Ask just five questions.
No!
[laughter]
- Badshah! - Oh, God! No!
- Okay. So, ma'am... - Oh!
- Look at her body language. - The Kapoor family is huge.
- Yes. So many members and many of them are stars.
Generally, who doesn't get along in their private lives?
- [laughs] - Whoa!
No. Can I honestly say something?
I think family values are very important in my family.
There's no such situation.
Let me explain the real situation.
When we go out,
we yell a lot and speak so loudly.
It makes people think we are fighting.
That's how it is.
- I agree. - [laughter]
If we're going to a restaurant, we're like,
"Hey! What do you mean?"
Actually, we're talking.
- Normal people speak softly. - Yes.
"What do you mean?"
We shout! "What are you saying? What's going on?"
The voice of all the Kapoors is very loud.
That's the reality.
People think we're fighting but that's not true.
Ma'am, that's how Myscmme speaks to us.
[tense music playing]
"Manasi, come here or I'll slap you!'
You said it lovingly, right?
[unsettling music playing]
I think she wants everyone to have a bad image of me.
When did I say that?
"Hey! I'll slap you."
There you go.
- She just said it. - She says that!
You say that. Quiet!
- That's just my love language. It's how I am. - Yes.
It's a love language. When did I say anything else?
The same love language as theirs.
- Yes, the same. - [laughter]
Ma'am, Kareena and Ranbir always say
that they are following in your footsteps.
So, who do you think in the coming generation,
is it Raha or Taimur,
or is it going to be your kids,
that will take this legacy forward? Who do you think?
First, I'd like to say
that these kids are all small pieces of my heart,
but as a parent,
no matter what they want to do in life,
we will support them.
That is what is important.
Wonderful.
No.
- No, Karisma. - Badshah!
- You have to name at least one. - What...
Look, we...
You know...
- You know deep down. - I thought you were on my side.
- Badshah, what is this? - I am on your side.
- No... - I was afraid of her.
I've to be scared of the judges now!
Fine, I'll name one.
[Badshah] Yes!
[laughter]
- He's a big actor. - Who?
- By actor, I mean, he's melodramatic. - Okay.
Jeh Baba!
- Oh! - Jeh Baba! The younger one.
Oh!
- He's little. - Yes.
- I watch his clips... - He's very naughty.
I think so too.
My God!
Judges, please score Manasi's performance.
[applause and cheer]
Raj Kapoor tried to do daring things often.
So, I'm about to do something daring too.
Today, I'll ask Manasi a question, who usually questions others.
Oh my God!
Manasi, tell me.
For which film did Raj Kapoor receive his first Filmfare Award?
[music playing]
If you want, you can use Phone A Friend.
- [mimics phone trilling] - Oh, what a phone!
[laughter]
[mimics phone trilling] Hey, answer the phone.
Ask who it is.
I know! 'Anari.'
OMCCG.
Oh, my chubby chubby girl!
[laughter]
I'm going to sing a song from this film.
So, I know this very well.
Oh! Raj Kapoor won a Filmfare Award for this film.
Here to make India nostalgic with one of its songs
is the Physics genius, Ranjini Sengupta!
- Whoa! - [applause]
[music playing]
[Ranjini performing]
'Ranjini Sengupta, 25 Years Kolkata'
'Film - Anari Singer - Mukesh'
'Music - Shankar-Jaikishan Lyrics - Shailendra'
[whistling]
Wow!
[vocalisation and whistling]
Beautiful.
Wow!
[vocalisation]
[performance concludes]
- Wow. - Thank you so much.
[applause and cheer]
Ranjini, I like this version of you better
when you sing without yodelling,
high notes or a lot of noise.
Even your 'Yaadein' performance was very memorable for me.
[Ranjini performing]
Genuine emotion.
In this song too, you communicated genuinely.
[Ranjini performing]
The lyrics and the goal of this song...
You really fulfilled it.
The beautiful thing is,
the songs of those times were very organic.
To go back to that place...
You genuinely are a time traveller.
- Genuinely. Great job. - Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you, sir.
[applause]
We're so lucky that these songs have been left behind
by Raj Kapoor, Shankar-Jaikishan
and Shailendra, who wrote the song.
Beautiful!
When you sing, you go into depth.
There's an actor within you.
You held a flower
and then the bit that you sang...
'Wow!'
That moment was also like...
You were being the actor.
You were living the character.
You were living the song.
So, it was a complete performance.
It was lovely.
- Thank you so much, ma'am. - It was touching.
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
[applause]
I feel like you have a suitcase.
Before singing a song, you put your hand into the suitcase...
"Oh, this emotion."
You take out that emotion and present it.
- Oh, God! - Correct.
[applause]
You performed this so easily.
The theatrics were so amazing.
Not holding the rose,
but when to let it go is more important.
And your entire performance...
Can I just...
- Sure. - I mean, taking out the rose,
looking at it and singing
- can become very cheesy. - Yes.
But it felt real when you did it.
That's a big deal.
- Thank you, sir. - There is definitely an actor within you.
Yes, I agree.
Thank you so much.
Judges, score Ranjini's performance, please.
- Well done, Ranjini. Good work. - Thank you so much.
Thank you.
[applause]
Karisma, our next singer Myscmme
is like you.
She doesn't have blue eyes like yours.
Nor does she look at Jyotiprakash and say,
"Jyoti, you're crazy!"
[laughter]
"You're a clown!"
"You're mad!"
[laughter]
The real similarity is
that like you, at the numerologist's behest,
she too changed the spelling of her name.
- So, you... Yes? - Hello!
- Sorry. - Yes?
I haven't changed the spelling of my name.
Really!
- This is a wrong notion! - Oh!
My name is
Karisma Kapoor.
People lovingly call me
Karishma,
Lolo,
Karissma,
or Karisma.
I agree as they say that lovingly.
- But my actual name is... - Karisma.
Karisma Kapoor.
Spelt with an 's' not a 'z'.
- Christmas Kapoor, we loved it... - Karisma...
You've come to our show in the right season.
Today, to celebrate Kapoorology.
along with numerology, please welcome
M-Y-S-C-M-M-E.
Myscmme Bosu!
[song playing]
[applause]
[music playing]
[Myscmme singing]
Wow!
[violin playing]
Wow!
[Myscmme singing]
Myscmme, I think, after this performance,
the audience will miss you
if you are out of Indian Idol.
Right?
Thank you so much, ma'am.
You sang beautifully.
It was a soulful performance.
I loved it.
I am so happy I got the chance
to see you perform on this song.
- Thank you so much, ma'am. - I genuinely loved it.
Thank you, ma'am.
Myscmme, before I say anything about your singing,
I'd say that I am a huge fan of this song.
Fan is an understatement.
What a song!
I salute Mr Ravindra Jain.
I mean, he wrote
and composed it so beautifully.
- Did he write it, too? - He wrote it.
- Wow! - He used to write all his songs.
And then, my grandpa
heard this song
- and decided to... - Made the film.
- Yes. You were just saying that. Exactly. - Wow.
That's the power of the song.
A film was made because of it.
Mr Raj Kapoor made it.
I noticed your gestures.
You were so involved in the song while singing it.
Your high notes were perfect.
The low notes moved us.
I mean, you made us emotional.
I really enjoyed it.
You sang very well.
- Beautiful. - Thank you so much, ma'am.
Myscmme, I recalled your journey while listening to you.
Because this song is based on Meera's devotion.
It's worship.
If your devotion is pure,
everything is a journey. You will overcome it.
I love your devotion.
That compelled me to stand up.
Sir, it really means a lot to me.
I wish you all the best.
Thank you so much, sir.
Ma'am, I have a habit.
If I pick a song to perform,
I try to watch its movie.
Manasi and I watched
'Ram Teri Ganga Maili' together.
I just wanted to share
that when we watched the movie,
we didn't feel we were watching an old movie.
It was so liberal for its time.
The personification of the movie was so nice.
Just as the Ganges flows
and reaches the bank,
it anyway gets polluted.
It has to go through so much.
I mean, the character also goes through
the exact same things.
It goes from one place to the other
and meets the ocean in the end.
I wonder how
he must have thought about it.
Ganga, the river,
and Ganga, as a character.
He combined both.
It was beautiful.
And I really admired that.
And I am really happy
that I could meet you
and share this moment with you today.
[applause]
Raj Kapoor's films
were always ahead of his times.
The women in his films
were always powerful.
Aesthetically beautiful,
but very powerful.
In fact, when these movies were released,
they were not accepted
by many people.
People said such movies
would change society's opinions and called them misleading.
Let's see what the Kapoor family
had to say about it.
In the late 50s,
Raj started
focusing aggressively
on female forms.
As he grew older,
the way he projected them
became more aesthetic.
'Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai'
became a little voluptuous.
With Padmini in the movie,
he saw a lot of...
'I love...'
A lot of that stuff coming in.
But he never added any scenes unnecessarily.
There was a necessity.
In the screenplay, there was a necessity.
In their characterisations...
[music playing]
Look, I think...
A woman or a lady
has many forms.
And grandpa showed that.
Whether you see Nargis ji,
who showed love and passion on screen...
Or Padmini ji,
or Vyjayanthimala ji...
She had a song in 'Sangam', 'Main Kya Karoon Ram,'
'Mujhe Buddha Mil Gaya'.
It was my favourite song.
[song playing]
She was this modern
and cool woman.
Who was wooing grandpa
in a hotel room.
So, these were quite bold steps.
She is looking so beautiful,
cute and gorgeous.
I think that was the speciality
about Raj Kapoor.
He projected his women
and empowered them, I would say.
And I think
every actress
during that time,
and I think even today... If you even ask
me or Kareena Kapoor
or Alia Bhatt,
or Deepika, if Raj Kapoor were alive,
we would be dying to work with him.
[applause]
Thank you so much. Thank you, ma'am.
Karisma, we have heard
that when Mr Raj Kapoor showed
'Ram Teri Ganga Maili' to his wife,
she said,
'How can you kill the lead actress in the climax?'
'This film is a flop.'
Back then,
he smiled and ignored what she said.
But when the film was released,
the climax didn't die in the climax.
And the film became a hit.
What do we learn from this?
One should always listen to his wife.
Oh my God!
Oh my God! How?
How?
So, listen to your wife
and chose her over your friends.
To celebrate Mr Raj Kapoor, let's welcome
a husband who is yearning for his wife's love,
Biswarup Banerjee!
[applause]
[music playing]
[Biswarup singing]
[violin playing]
[Biswarup singing]
Too hard!
Unbelievable.
[music playing]
I want to say this in front of the world.
I am the happiest today
because you have proven me wrong.
'I couldn't wait for it to end. It was horrible.'
'You were not singing for others.'
'If you sing like this, you will go home.'
I have been saying this since the auditions.
One must look for the meaning of the song.
The purpose of the song...
You should immerse yourself in the song and sing it.
Today, you sang as if you were singing your song.
- I am so proud of you. - Thank you, sir.
I can't tell you.
- Outstanding. - Thank you so much, sir.
It is not easy to make Vishal's eyes moist.
I... You know, it's not...
Today, you did something
that doesn't happen on reality shows.
Do you get it?
You turned the tables.
And that is an act of courage.
I am so proud I can't tell you.
- Thank you so much, sir. It really means a lot. - I am so proud.
Just take it away!
Take it and go.
Thank you, sir.
I think this season is focused on personal growth.
You found your self-confidence.
I think you were lost.
I felt it.
And I think
a tragic incident is important
in your life.
That harsh comment from Vishal
was needed.
And today, your performance has proved
that you are a brilliant artist.
You deserve to be going ahead till the finals.
God bless you. You sang very well.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
May I say something?
All the judges are so happy.
I am also happy.
And this is grandpa's blessing.
That's why you made a comeback today.
I just want to tell you that this is my season's first 10.
- Wow! - First time. 10 on 10.
Thank you so much, sir.
Mine is second.
The previous 10 wasn't for any of today's performances.
So, this is the best performance for me today.
[cheering and applause]
Let's welcome the next contestant from Kharagpur
to honour Mr Raj Kapoor's song.
The ideal 'paan' lover, Subhajit Chakraborty.
[cheering and applause]
Let me tell you
- which 'paan' will be dedicated to whom. - Okay.
This is the first 'paan'.
- Wow! - Oh, wow! Design!
- So, it's very colourful. - Yes.
- I think this is showman 'paan'. - Yes.
Right? Just like my grandpa.
So colourful!
Let's dedicate
this colourful 'paan' to Mr Raj Kapoor.
Perfect!
Fantastic!
Second 'paan'.
- This is 'choona', right? - Yes.
Who amongst my family tricks others?
I think it's Ranbir.
This is the special one. The third 'paan'.
- Oh my God! - It's beautiful. Let me tell you.
It's gold!
- It's gold! - Wow!
I have a perfect song to match with it.
I think it should be dedicated to that Kapoor.
[Shreya singing]
[cheering and applause]
[Shreya singing]
Wow! This is for you!
Karisma Kapoor!
Wow!
Oh my God!
- Wow! - Amazing!
- Lovely! - Wow!
[music playing]
[Subhajit singing]
Wow!
[Subhajit singing]
Wonderful!
[Subhajit singing]
Wow!
[Subhajit singing]
[cheering and applause]
Whoa!
Subhajit...
Your voice is amazing.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
It was a brilliant dedication.
- This song is from 'Mera Naam Joker'. - Yes.
Grandpa played the role of Raju
in this film.
And that character had so much pain.
Yet it made everyone smile.
I think I can identify
this character with you.
The first line of this song, 'Jaane Kahan Gaye Wo Din'...
You feel emotional whenever you hear that line.
What an incredible composition!
Hats off to Shankar-Jaikishan.
I mean it.
[applause]
A singer like you
representing this song on the stage
is a really perfect combination.
Really wonderful.
It is an iconic song.
And we can only imagine
to hear this song in Mukesh ji's voice.
And I heard a quotation
of Mr Raj Kapoor somewhere.
When Mukesh ji passed away,
he said,
'Mukesh was my soul.'
'His voice was my soul.'
'So, as he left this world,'
'I feel I have lost my soul.'
So, it was so beautiful
that you brought back the soul
of that song on stage.
And singing this song live
is quite difficult. Beautiful.
God bless you.
Thank you, ma'am.
Shubhajit, I can say one thing confidently.
As far as I know art,
if Mr Raj Kapoor were looking for a singer at that time,
he might have chosen you to sing this song.
God bless you.
It means a lot, sir.
Judges, please give scores for this performance.
[applause]
Breaking news...
All uncles and aunts are happy
because they have found their baby Roopa.
- Here you go. - What is it? - Celebrate the good news!
We have found baby Roopa. Badshah!
Oh, my God! Jumping with joy! Keep it.
[quirky music]
What is this?
Please welcome baby Roopa.
[music playing]
Woah!
A big round of applause
to the heroine of cult movies like 'Prem Rog,' 'Vidhata,'
'Woh Saat Din,' and 'Sautan' whose charming smile
ruled every heart in the 80s...
And to get a glimpse of her
people used to roam around their streets and squares
and sing.
Woah!
[singing]
Raj Kapoor ji's baby Roopa!
Padmini Kolhapure ji...
Whatever I am today
is only because of Uncle Raj.
I'm truly blessed.
I have done two films with him 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram'
and 'Prem Rog.'
And if I tell you about Uncle Raj... If I start,
maybe one episode of Indian Idol will be less.
That's why we have kept two, Padmini ji.
Big round of applause for Padmini ji.
Raj Kapoor was so famous in Russia
that people would pick up Raj Kapoor's car
along with him to honour him.
[music playing]
And now, the one who is coming to honour Raj Kapoor with their song
is the one whom Badshah, Vishu sir and I
carry on our backs when we hear him sing...
[music playing]
So presenting one whose voice is rocking,
he sings remarkably, Chaitanya Devadhe!
[cheering]
You sing too well!
- Huh? - Thank you so much.
[song playing]
I saw your performance.
You're actually...
I can feel the touch of Kishore Da in you.
I mean, you have an acting talent
as well. Right?
- Yes. - Right! - Kishore Kumar...
When he used to sing,
he used to perform a lot.
He used to act as well.
And Lata ji would always say,
'Don't do it, Kishore Da...'
'Don't make me laugh.'
I want to say,
act a little bit.
I want you to act like him.
Ma'am,
I won't act today.
Hey! Why?
I mean,
when I did the acting
for the last week, I enacted a scene from the movie, 'Animal...'
- I was a bit too loud. - 'Papa...'
- 'Papa... - I can hear you. I am not deaf.'
So, dad heard that.
So, dad said, 'Why are you shouting so much?'
'You went to sing songs'
'at the Indian Idol stage.'
'Why are you shouting so much... Your throat...'
'Take care of your throat...'
'My dad has never praised me.'
[sombre music]
But he never said,
'Wow, Chaitanya. You sang so well.'
So, the only reason for coming here is
to hear a word
from dad, 'Amazing, Chaitanya!'
You sand so well!
You should be feeling very privileged and lucky
that your father won't say,
'Amazing!' so soon.
And he will say it the day
when you really did something
amazing
which he knows... That is what your full potential is.
Wait for that day.
And the day he will say it in words,
it will be great fun.
That enjoyment...
You will work towards that day
every day in your life.
It's a privilege, I tell you. And a blessing.
Uncle Raj
was just like that with his sons.
Rishi Kapoor and I were both in 'Prem Rog.'
Raj Kapoor Sahab
didn't say a word to him.
Wow, Chintu! What a performance!
He used to tell me.
Wow, Padmini! What a performance!
But he never told this to Rishi Kapoor.
Padmani Aunty, if I may...
This tradition...
happened with us as well.
I think my father has never
said to me or Kareena like...
Wow! What a performance!
Very good! Never.
Even if we look into his face, it's like...
That's it! That's enough!
Getting that, too, is a big deal.
I think what she has to say is...
Whether it was grandpa,
or your dad or my dad or your dad...
They want us to go further.
So that we work harder.
So that one
head nod is enough.
[applause]
[music playing]
[song playing]
Wow!
[song playing]
Amazing!
[song playing]
[applause]
Thank you so much.
I won't say anything.
I don't want to say anything.
- Hey. Say something. What do you mean.. - Let's go.
- Let's go! - Where?
- Let's go. - Let's go.
- Where are you going? - What to do? - Let's go.
Let's go.
Go where?
- Let's go. - Follow me.
[audience clapping]
Let's go.
Madam, please tell us what to do.
- Hey. - Hey...
Play!
Wow!
[instrumental music playing]
[audience cheering]
[racy music playing]
[cheering]
Take him home.
I'm still breathing heavily.
The dance we did. Thank you so much. Amazing!
It was awesome. Chaitanya always sets fire on the stage.
You blew our minds.
Mind-blowing performance.
Thank you so much.
Chaitanya, you know this is a song
that every generation knows
about this song.
About the common man
that Raj sir was.
So I'm so happy, and I'm so proud.
That you...
You represent this generation.
The new generation. You're only eighteen.
And how beautifully you sang it...
Hats off to you. I want to stand.
Thank you so much.
If you maintain this consistency, Chaitanya.
Then forget about Japanese shoes,
the belt, too, will be Italian,
the car will be German,
and your fan following will be global.
Yeah, baby!
Thank you so much.
- Thank you. - Great!
Judges, please give scores to Chaitanya on his performance.
Karisma, I wanted to ask you...
As you said that...
You know they have followings in Russia
and China. They get cars.
Have you ever experienced that
and benefitted from it?
- Like if we're in the US... - Yes.
We'll hail a taxi.
- Yes. - It feels great that no one recognises you.
We are in a taxi.
- We are going. Correct? Right? - No one recognises you.
So, sometimes, you know the taxi drivers
are very friendly.
Hello, ma'am! Where are you from?
So I said I'm from India.
Oh! You are from India.
Do you know Raj Kapoor?
I know Raj Kapoor.
[singing]
This has happened to me
a couple of times.
So, I am like...
Such love...
They are showing so much love.
- I am like, I am their granddaughter. - Oh!
No! How can it be?
No! I know Raj Kapoor.
Then they will Google.
And actually, we get a free taxi ride.
Oh, nice!
Still, I have a heart of an Indian.
So, what is this heart of an Indian?
I don't like this.
How can we take a free ride?
So, I am like, please take a picture with me.
And show it to your family
that I am Raj Kapoor's granddaughter.
Aww... How sweet!
[music playing]
And the most
incredible part is
that this has happened to me.
This has happened to Kareena and Ranbir.
And also with my aunt and my grandma.
So, you know how my grandma is.
A very good hostess, I am sure.
She felt very bad at that time.
Hey! The taxi driver said, 'I can't take the money.'
'You are Raj sahab's wife.'
So, the next day, she called
his entire family
for tea. - Oh my God! That is so adorable.
- So nice of her... - So, when my grandpa came out,
he wore a 'lungi kurta' in the morning.
In our family, all the
- males wear 'lungi kurta.' - Men...
Not pyjamas.
He also wanted his women to wear it.
- Yes, which is so cool. - Even I've worn 'lungi kurta' in 'Prem Rog.'
Which is so cool.
And when my grandpa came out... 'Who is this?'
'This is the taxi driver.'
'He is your fan. Give him a picture.'
'Before breakfast...'
'Because he didn't take the money.'
Aww...
It is the biggest compliment for us
that we are known
because of him.
And we get so many free taxi rides.
Yes, some people have such an aura
that we can't sit in a school
and learn as much as we learn from standing beside them.
It won't be wrong to say that Raj Kapoor ji
was the first film school of this country.
[music playing]
A special guest has come here
after learning from this school.
He was Raj Kapoor ji's 5th AD.
So, welcome him with a big round of applause.
[song playing]
Please give a big round of applause
for Raj Kapoor's assistant director,
aka Clap Boy whose films
are loved by the whole world.
His films are blockbusters
in the first show.
'No Entry.' 'Ready.' 'Welcome.' 'Welcome back.'
And the mega hit director
of super hit films like 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2'
and 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3'
whose films will never be forgotten, Mr Anees Bazmee.
[applause]
The one who single-handedly
brought Bollywood back to life after the lockdown. This is the guy.
[applause]
Ritika,
do you think you have started a manifestation?
No.
A long time ago, I think in 1977-78...
When I was 15 or 16,
I used to do it.
And when I saw Raj sahab...
I had only one thing on my mind.
Only one dream that I want to work with Raj sahab.
This dream came true
only with my willpower.
And I got a chance to work with him.
Woah!
I am very glad actually that
we are celebrating Raj Kapoor
after so many days.
Our guru. Salute.
[applause]
And all the singers
chosen by the Indian Idol...
Amazing!
I feel that
all the songs of Raj sahab
will be justified by them.
And I am looking forward. I am very excited.
Very nice.
Thank you, sir. We are also very excited to have you on the show.
Please take your seat. Enjoy the show.
A round of applause for Anees ji.
Thank you.
Badshah...
Do you know that in 1964,
Raj sahab was making a film called 'Ajanta.'
That film couldn't be made,
but 21 years later, one of its songs
was used by Raj ji in 'Ram Teri Ganga Maili.'
And I won't say
which song it was.
Our next singer Mayuri will sing it for us.
Presenting maestro Mayuri.
[music playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
Wow!
[applause]
Oh, dear...
Oh, God!
What command!
You make the melodies dance to your tunes.
That's what you were doing.
Your name, Maestro Mayuri...
It's a perfect name.
Thank you, sir! Thank you!
How lucky am I
that I get to see a batch like this?
Sir, it seems rather dangerous!
What? How?
I... I don't understand... I...
The performance ended by the time I understood.
[laughter]
Sir, all the credit goes to
Randeep sir and Anand sir...
Oh, dear, we know...
But where is the voice coming from?
[laughter]
[applause]
The voice is...
Not here... It's coming from there...
Blockbuster!
It was amazing, Mayuri.
- Thank you. - This was
the best performance
of the day.
Wow!
I won't say it was the best performance today.
Because there is a lot of competition today
for the best performance.
- A lot! - So, we'll save that for later.
- Exactly. - Judges,
- let me say one thing. - Yes, please. Yes, please.
All these contestants
have the blessings of grandfather.
That's why, all of them
shined today.
Hats off to all of you!
[cheering]
Amazing! Mayuri, I mean...
You were getting that right every single time...
At the pinnacle.
[laughter]
But the note is so high...
In such songs,
when the first note is the difficult one
and you have to hit the perfect pitch
and then play the entire game
of this composition,
that is magical.
He hit the note three times.
He did it all three times.
AI generated.
AI...
Truly amazing to see you
fly like a free bird. God bless.
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you so much.
I think this song is
very special to me
because I was actually
on the set when this song was being shot.
Woah!
Yes.
I clearly remember
grandpa telling Mandakini ji
about how she should move her shoulder,
and how to bring that innocence
and romance in her eyes.
So, I used to just sit and watch.
I mean, you know, it was in wonder.
So, yes, this is a very special song.
I wish grandpa could have
directed me but he couldn't.
But these few memories I have
will be there forever.
And thank you
for awakening all these memories
and for singing so beautifully.
Thank you, ma'am.
And you know, if I was the heroine
of this film,
I would have wanted
you to sing this song.
Oh, wow!
So, if you are here and she is also here.
So can't you show us a glimpse?
Come on, Karisma ji...
Come on!
Wow!
[song playing]
- Wow! - Wow!
Wow!
Beautiful!
Thank you! Thank you so much!
Judges, please give the scores for this performance.
Thank you, Mayuri.
[singing]
It's your line now.
Tell me, what is it?
'Ramaiya Vastavaiya.'
[laughter]
Yes!
'Give me my bag, brother.'
'Ramaiya Vastavaiya' was said by Mr Raj Kapoor.
But we say...
Ramaiya Vastav Bhaiya!
So, presenting
carrying the fragrance of Punjab's soil,
- Vastav Kumar, - Mindblowing!
[music playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
Wow!
[singing]
[audience cheering]
Vastav, did this actually happen
that you sang this song?
What did you sing?
- 'Ek Din Bik Jayega.' - 'Ek Din.'
Sorry!
[laughs]
Great!
I couldn't remember the first line.
- Come on! - Yeah!
'Ek Din Bik Jayega Mati Ke Mol.'
I honestly didn't expect Vastav to pull this song off. Really?
Because this song isn't even from your genre.
But you surprised me.
I liked it a lot.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
You know, it feels great
when someone experiments with range every time.
- For the first time, you played with tone. - Yes.
In this song, we could hear your tone
that defines who Vastav is. People might find it odd
that every time, effort is in your voice.
Actually, we could sense how difficult this was.
- So, congratulations. - Thank you so much, sir.
Judges, please give scores for Vastav's performance.
- Fifty tolas! - Thank you, sir.
