[music playing]
'Everybody, let's go!'
[music playing]
[singing]
- Whoa! - Yeah! I love it, man!
Yeah!
[background song playing]
[laughter]
Friends, today, we continue to celebrate that bond
where there's sometimes advice and sometimes fights.
But whose presence always makes life alright.
[applause]
Today, we'll relive those memories of siblings.
Alongside the contestants' stories, we'll also find out
if SG used to hit her brother with a guitar during childhood.
[laughter]
Did Vishal Sir pull his sister's hair out of jealousy?
You never know.
It happens!
Did Badshah Bhai secretly
take his sister's friends' numbers.
- She's young. - even today?
[laughter]
SG, this week we are celebrating sibling relationships.
That's why Myscmme's numerologist revealed
what Myscmme would be like if she were a sister.
[background vocalisation]
She'd have long, luscious hair
like Sneha.
She'd wear colourful Indian attire
like Ritika.
And have a sweet smile like Ragini.
So judges, I've entered all these details
- into my AI system. - Oh, god!
And now, in three seconds, we'll get an image of Myscmme's sister.
- Oh, god! - Three, two, one... and show.
Bang!
Again Priyangshu!
Oh, my AI!
Why does this look like Priyangshu?
[laughter]
This isn't Priyangshu, it's Priyangshi.
But give this bond a name.
- It's getting very confusing. - I swear!
The groom turned out to be a bride.
So taking blessings from Priyangshu sister,
Idol's most beautiful girl, Myscmme Bosu.
- I want to share something with all of you. - Please!
I've been a single child and didn't have siblings growing up.
But I feel that if I had an elder brother,
he'd be like you.
Wow, so sweet!
Let me explain why I feel this way.
We have fun on-screen, but he has even more fun with us off-screen.
He makes us laugh. If we ever feel sad, he sits with us.
When we're nervous, he's there.
If by chance we say we're hungry,
food reaches us within 40 minutes.
[background whistling]
When we cry on stage,
we get water and tissues.
We might not realise it in the moment,
but it's always him who does it.
And I share a unique bond with him because I teach him Bengali.
- Very good! - So today, Aditya bhaiya,
I officially want to ask,
will you be my elder brother?
- Oh, my god! - Wow!
[background music]
Of course, Myscmme, come here!
[background vocalisation]
So sweet! Oh, my god!
I'm not as good as all the praise you've given.
I agree.
[laughter]
Priyangshu,
she's now my sister.
Okay?
So, if your intentions are pure,
we'll talk later, otherwise, stay away.
All the best, Myscmme.
[applause]
[music playing]
[vocalisation]
Okay!
[music playing]
- Wow! - Wow!
[singing]
'Hey, Myscmme, what's going to happen tonight?'
[laughs]
- Wow! - [laughs]
[singing]
Nice!
[singing]
[vocalisation]
Wow!
[applause]
Thank you so much.
Myscmme, you're a delight for composers.
You're so gifted.
This is an art not everyone possesses.
You've sung two very difficult and distinct era songs.
Mrs Asha's song had so many expressions,
flirtation, and so much drama.
Let me call you the drama queen, you truly are one.
The acting you bring into your singing
is visible on your face, too.
You are truly the star of your song,
the heroine.
See, there's Shreya and there's Sunidhi,
two queens of the world.
Both have different projection styles.
Even for them, stepping into
each other's zone would be a stretch, and they are queens.
- You've done the work of both in this performance. - Yes.
It's very tough.
In the second song, the high notes you projected at the end,
at one point, it was so beautiful I can't even describe it.
The highest note of all, because I think
your entire focus went into that note,
and you hit it beautifully.
[singing]
You were absolutely incredible.
- Good luck! - Thank you so much, sir.
Judges, why not play blindfold tag on the Indian Idol stage tonight?
Come on!
[applause]
[laughter]
SG, hold on a minute. I'm spinning you around. You're already spinning.
[laughter]
Ready, start!
[background song]
I'm right here!
[laughs]
- Hey! - Almost!
Back!
Here!
- Somewhere this side. - Oh no!
- Don't leave! - A little to your right.
Hey!
Gotcha!
Well done! Applause for SG.
Badshah bhai.
You have to catch Vishal sir.
[background song]
[yelling]
[laughter]
Sir, tell me where you are.
Sir!
Do I have to come myself?
Badshah!
- That's me! - Oh no!
[background vocalisation]
[background song]
What a drama!
Let's hear a round of applause for Badshah Bhai's sister, Aparajita!
- Welcome to Indian Idol. - Hello!
[background song]
I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much, Indian Idol.
Now, we're going to get all the truths out.
First, I want to know what he's called at home.
- Bittu. - Bittu!
Ish yo boy Bittu!
[laughter]
Mr Bittu was telling us that your parents don't have a favourite.
- Both are equal. - He's the favourite.
- No, she's the favourite.
Now, I am because of his actions.
- Oh! - Otherwise, he is the favourite.
What did our Mr Bittu do?
Basically, he says yes to everything and then does nothing.
[laughter]
He comes home says he's going to do this and that, and then disappears.
[laughter]
It gives a peace of mind, sister.
You stay happy, you stay happy, and I'm going to sleep.
Someone known as the party
anthem maker is actually a homebody.
[laughter]
I mean, he's not a party person at all.
- Just let him lie on the bed or get him to do something. - Blanket.
- Exactly! - Blanket.
He said he was
wrapped in a blanket and sleeping on New Year's. Is it true?
Yes, that's true.
[background song]
He takes everything on a trip, and when everyone gathers
thinking it's time for some fun, he goes to the bedroom and sleeps.
[laughter]
If she'll stand for a bit then I'll sleep.
But how does Badshah Bhai look on our show, Indian Idol?
It's such a big platform, and obviously, I'm incredibly proud.
[applause]
You honoured me.
But your brother is the best, the coolest and the kindest person.
I've found a great friend in this season of Indian Idol, both of us.
So, I feel your emotions.
I'm equally happy and proud of him.
Sorry sister, now I have another sister.
[laughter]
Aparajita! Move!
[laughter]
So presenting the reel-world feel voice.
Toffy, Ronty, Jonty, Remo's brother,
Priyangshu Dutta.
[laughter]
I'm so sorry, bro, no one from your house could come today.
I hope you're not upset.
It's not that bad because there are 50 people in the family.
[laughter]
Out of them, a dozen are siblings.
They fight among themselves about who will go and who won't.
[laughter]
- I like his problem. - So, it's better
they didn't come, otherwise, it would have been a lot of trouble.
[laughter]
[background song]
[laughter]
[background song]
'Everybody!'
[laughter]
Yay!
I can't tell you how much Priyangshu
was praising you before you arrived.
He was praising and praising.
Just praising.
Do you want to say something on his praise?
What can I say, my brother has completely changed.
- How? - When he was home,
he used to stay away from bathing every time.
[laughter]
After hugging him, he smells of perfume.
He used to stay away from all this.
[background song]
Now, he's changed so much, it doesn't even seem like my brother.
[laughter]
So, we all, the brothers, have come from Kolkata to tell you.
[background music]
We like our sister-in-law.
What?
[laughs]
A big round of applause for Priyangshu's one and only family.
Come.
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
Nice!
Superb!
[singing]
[music playing]
Wow!
[vocalisation]
Wow!
[singing]
Nice!
[singing ends]
[audience cheering]
Fabulous!
[audience cheering]
[chuck'es]
[applause]
[audience cheering]
This was the performance I was waiting for throughout the season.
Thank you so much, sir.
The real cause of this performance is your family, your siblings.
- Thanks, brother. - I'm telling you.
And we've seen that
when he's around people who are important to him,
he gives his best performance.
But today, it has broken all the ceilings.
You've sung so well, you've shattered all limits.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
There's one note you were singing yourself.
[vocalising]
[singing]
- This one! - Wow, amazing!
It's not in the original song.
But because of it, this has become Priyangshu's song.
You've made it your own. That's the power of your talent.
- God bless you. - Thank you so much, ma'am.
The Priyangshu we saw today,
I think this is actually your first step after 'Bedardeya.'
Yeah!
Thank you so much, sir.
You're moving from a cover artist to finding your place as an artist.
Brother, keep walking on this path.
If you stay on this path, you'll be blessed in life.
- Okay? - Thank you so much, sir.
I also want to ask Aparajita, how did you like this performance?
It was very good. The feel was there.
- The feel was there. - The feel was there. It's done!
Amazing!
- Priyangshu, what's your brother's name? - Which one?
That one.
- Shrutorshi. No. - Shutoshi?
- S-H-R-U. - Shrutorshi.
- Tell us what his pet name is. - Toffee.
- Toffee! - Toffee!
- Mr Shrutorshi. I have a quiz. - Yes.
- There will be two teams. - Two teams.
One team will be Shrutorshi and family,
who say they raised him from childhood.
The second team will be one individual,
whose name I still can't spell.
Whatever the spelling is, Myscmme, you'll be the only one on that team.
You'll write your answers, you'll write yours, and you'll write yours.
We'll see who knows Priyangshu the most.
What happens if someone gives the wrong answer?
We'll give a serious punishment.
- Because I am a serious and sincere person. - Sanjida, who?
That's fine, too.
I object, Vishal sir, if Myscmme gives the wrong answer,
then the punishment won't go to Myscmme,
it'll go to her brother.
[dramatic music]
Hey!
Yay!
We are all for punishment.
- No problem, we'll give you the punishment. - I'm ready!
Family, come on stage.
Contestant number two, come on stage.
Aditya, you can ask the questions, since you're taking the bullet.
Okay, fine sir, sure.
Pinky, please come on.
[background song]
Wow!
[laughter]
Whoever loses will get a kiss from Pinky.
No, sir!
My game, my rules!
- Myscmme, please get all the answers right. - I will try my best.
- All the best. - First question, sir.
What's Priyangshu's favourite food?
Royal paneer!
Time's up! Priyangshu, show us the correct answer.
- Burger. - Hey!
[laughter]
Burger.
Toffee and family,
show us what you wrote.
- They wrote biryani. - Biryani!
Myscmme.
Burger.
[laughter]
Oh my god! Who will get Pinky's kiss now?
Who among you is ready to sacrifice in their life?
No!
Come, offer your sacrifice.
[background song]
Awesome!
You'll get beaten up.
Thank you, Myscmme.
Next question, what's Priyangshu's favourite song?
[background music playing]
Toffee and family, show your answer.
'Sun Le Zara.'
Myscmme.
'Apni Tasveer Ko'
Priyangshu.
'Apni Tasveer Ko'
Pinky's kiss!
Wow!
- This is so emotional. - Hit him hard!
- Oh, dear! - This is emotional.
Last question for Priyangshu.
What's the birthdate of Myscmme and Ronty?
Myscmme, write yours. Ronty, write yours.
Priyangshu, write both.
Myscmme, when's your birthday?
Fourth January.
Ronty, when's your birthday?
- Sixth January. - Oh!
Priyangshu!
He got Myscmme's birthday, right?
But he wrote Ronty's as 3rd January.
Priyangshu is now yours.
[laughs]
Anyone who betrays their family like this,
- I think deserves a puppy from Pinky. - Definitely!
Absolutely!
Twenty years of living with brothers
and still got the wrong birthday.
Mr Pinky, do whatever you want now. Go!
Go for it!
[laughter]
- Whoa! - No!
You didn't kiss him. Mr Pinky, kiss him.
- On both cheeks. - Properly, Mr Pinky.
[background song]
- That's it! - That's it!
- I swear. - Mr Pinky, you've given love to so many,
but no one returned it.
[background song]
To call the next contestant, their brother has a special request.
He wants to call them in his own style.
So, Subhajit, please come.
[applause]
[singing]
Yes, Manasi, you truly
are the heartbeat of this entire Indian Idol.
Like Priyangshu says, Myscmme is
the most beautiful girl in Indian Idol.
No, I say my sister is the most beautiful
in Indian Idol.
So presenting
Manasi Ghosh, my sister.
- Oh! - Superb!
So cute!
Manasi is the kind of sister anyone would be lucky to have.
Indeed.
Subhajit, your gesture was very sweet.
I think she is really touched.
Right?
Yes, ma'am. Hello.
- Your aunt is here. Hello, ma'am. - My aunt.
Ma'am, please come on stage.
[applause]
[subtle sound]
First of all,
I'd like to thank Indian Idol.
This platform has given my daughter
such a wonderful opportunity.
Today marks eight months
and 25 days since my son left me.
[soft sobbing]
After he passed away,
I lost the courage to live.
But then my daughter told me, 'I'm here for you.'
Just like I am there for mom and mad,
I am here for you too.
After my son passed away,
she regularly calls me, video calls me,
visits me in the afternoons.
If I don't cook, she brings me food.
Even while being on Indian Idol, she video calls regularly,
checking if I've eaten,
if I've taken my medicines.
She's a god-gifted child to me.
She's my princess.
I always call her 'Princess.'
We only get
one chance to live in life,
but I got two.
One was taken from me,
and the other is here.
And there's another,
my elder sister's son, my eldest child.
For these two, I want to live once more.
[applause]
Thank you.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
- Manasi. - Yes.
You've had
lots of ups and downs in life, surely.
Your brother was there...
[emotive silence]
Manasi, sit with her for five minutes.
[emotive music]
[applause]
I'm your brother, okay?
This is not just for TV.
Tell your aunt she has a son.
Badshah Sir is saying
this is not for TV but to tell you
that this is your brother and from today, he's also your son.
[applause]
I'm so proud of you. You know that, right?
- You are very strong. - Yes.
[emotive music]
Come on, kill it.
[emotive music]
[music playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
[audience cheering]
There's a section of the audience
who says, 'Why watch Indian Idol?'
It's all emotional stories and drama.
But this is what's needed.
These stories are important to reach people,
so they understand
the circumstances and emotions
through which an artist is made.
And then they come on stage and perform.
If anyone has the guts, then come and do it.
I openly challenge them.
[applause]
[sighs]
Everyone sitting in the front row,
you're the pride of your families.
And standing tall
like a wall
in front of them
and singing, knowing for whom you're singing,
it takes guts.
I want every girl in our country
to be as strong like you.
[applause]
I'm with you.
Whenever you need me, I'll be there.
And today, you sang so well.
Your brother, wherever he is, must be feeling so proud of you.
- God bless you, you did great. - Thank you, ma'am.
Manasi, you know my favourite thing
about you
is that you've always said, 'Yes, this is my story,'
'but I don't want sympathy.'
I really appreciate it.
The 'mukhda' was repeated twice.
In the first time,
there was a glimpse of your emotional state.
But in the second 'mukhda,'
you literally corrected it with sheer willpower,
which was incredible.
Having such control over yourself
is a big thing. You don't know where you're going to go.
Something huge
is waiting for you.
Really! Good luck!
Thank you so much.
I want
to say one thing. I never want my wounds to heal.
- Time will make it easier for me. - Well said!
Let's leave it at that.
My brother left us at
such a young age. He has to be an angel.
I wouldn't wish
this on anyone, but my brother was the best brother
in the entire world.
Don't cry, nothing will happen.
Everything will be fine. I am your child only.
[emotive music]
- Imagine the mother's condition. - Yes.
So presenting Rohit's sister, Ritika Raj.
[background song]
Yes, that's her.
- You! - All the best!
Thank you, Aditya sir.
[music playing]
[singing]
Wow!
Very good!
[singing]
Whoa!
[singing]
Oh, wow!
Yay!
Nailed it!
Aditya sir, I just want to hug my mom once.
[applause]
A very hardworking girl.
Never-say-die spirit.
Salute to you for this.
I honestly didn't expect
you to sing like this.
In the last episode, there were a few
negative comments. But you didn't play safe.
You took risks for yourself and delivered such a performance.
I am truly so proud of you, Ritika.
Thank you, ma'am.
That's why you're my favourite.
I love you. Fabulous performance!
Was this performance just like that, or is it your song?
I am telling you,
I have been judging shows for years.
I've never seen such a brilliant performance of this song.
No.
Nandini Srikar is a great artist
who originally sang it, right?
And I truly feel
you performed at that level.
Really outstanding!
Outstanding! It was great!
I also want to know if you've worked on your cardio?
Because what you did on stage today,
your breath should have faltered.
What you were doing took a lot of physical effort.
What have you done in this direction? You've done something.
Offered water on the Shivling.
[laughter]
I love you!
Well, whatever you've done, well done, truly incredible.
Cutie!
You've brought Diwali in January. It was amazing.
Very well done, Ritika.
- I am so happy. - Thank you, Badshah sir.
Ritika, today, your brother couldn't come here,
but do you want to send him a message?
I just want to say, brother,
it's okay if you couldn't come today.
I know you probably didn't get leave.
But you are so important in my life.
In some matters, you come even before mom and mad for me.
I love you so much.
You know I've always taken your words as final since childhood.
There's a 28-month age gap between us.
So our level of maturity grew together.
As a kid, my brother used to tell me
that whenever mosquitoes died, there are so many mosquitoes in Bhagalpur.
He'd say, Ritika, put them in a matchbox in the evening
and set it on fire, or their souls will haunt you.
I used to think, whatever brother says must be right.
So I'd perform the last rites for every mosquito.
I even used to do this.
She's too cute!
So I just want to say, ' brother, I really miss you.'
Ritika,
there's a surprise for you
from your brother.
Come here. Look at this.
On that screen ahead,
Hey!
[applause]
[applauding]
Okay... It's okay.
It's okay.
- Hello, sir. - Hi... - Hi, everyone. - Greetings.
Hello, mom.
[laughing]
To be honest, I got a call from her just two days ago.
My plan was almost cancelled, but the way she called me,
saying, 'Please come here, Rohit.' We all know that
- the last two or three performances were not good. - Yes.
I felt she needs moral support and if I'm not there at the right time
then I'm not fulfilling my responsibility.
Which is when I decided that I'd come.
Maybe she manifested strongly
and I'm here today.
One thing that I'd like to confess to you, Choti,
is in 2014, Aditya,
I was in college and my dad was in between jobs.
There were multiple issues.
We had financial issues and you know...
More than financial issues
the moral health of the entire family was down.
Ma'am, at that time, Choti took up the responsibility
by doing shows and whatnot,
and she helped our mom and dad with moral support
and financial support. In fact,
a part of my college fees also went from there.
- Wow. - Correct.
A part of my college fees also went from there.
Today if I'm standing here and I know how to talk
she probably has a huge hand in that.
That's when I realised that Choti is no longer small, she's grown big.
Honestly, Choti, you are the most important
part of our family.
And... Okay, you're also the world's best sister.
[laughing]
I would like to know something.
This gentleman was standing here,
- have you brought him with you? - Aditya, when we
were in class four or five, this would be available
outside our school. We'd steal five rupees from mom's purse and eat it.
It's called 'Aloo cut' in Bihar.
It's delicious.
I would suggest that all of you try it.
- Sir, you don't have to suggest. - You will like it.
We are here for you, sir.
[laughing]
Oh, wow.
[quirky music playing]
- Have you made it spicy? - You can eat everything.
- This is sour, right? - No, I want spicy.
Make it sour, spicy and all of it.
[song playing]
My mouth is watering.
It's delicious.
It's sour.
I mean...
This is mine.
You won't be able to eat it. It's very spicy.
[laughing]
That's great.
- Eat it. - No, it's okay.
My diet was on.
- Mr Badshah. - I'm eating it because I love you so much.
[music playing]
If you keep standing here,
then it will become a problem. We're done.
[laughing]
Presenting, the new legend
from the old legacy, Aditya and Isha's sister,
Sneha Shankar.
[applauding and cheering]
[singing]
That's great.
[singing]
Wow.
[singing]
Wow.
[singing]
[applauding and cheering]
Outstanding.
Sneha, this song is made for you.
This composition, this style
of singing,
wow, you took my breath away. That was amazing.
Thank you so much.
Ms Richa's voice echoes in our ears.
We have heard her so many times
and she roars in this song.
There is heart and soul and that voice is so big.
But Sneha, you're no less.
- It means a lot, coming from you. Thank you so much. - God bless you.
You created a wonderful atmosphere.
[quirky music playing]
Badshah, say something.
He's broken.
You have broken Badshah.
What's this? Call the electrician.
We have to repair his wiring.
That...
- You know how it is when there's an overload. - It's like that.
- His power has tripped. - It has tripped.
What? What should I say? You sang well.
Good. Well done. Very good.
Thank you.
Can I just say, I've done many shows and many seasons.
But the most honest judge is this man.
I'm not joking.
Your singing is such
that it can shock people.
Genuinely, we run out of words.
'What can I say about her?'
'My mind is blown.'
This is the effect all of you have on us.
So...
- You sang well. - You sang well.
Now I remember what I want to say.
- Oh. - When she was singing, I was thinking
'I hope I can make a song one day that is worth her.'
Ah!
I would like to make a request. Some or the other time on this show,
there is a song by Vishal-Shekhar,
'Zindagi Mein Koi Kabhi Aaye Na Rabba,'
- Oh-ho. - I would like to hear you sing that.
I'll try. Thank you.
Vishu sir, in this brother-sister special episode
coming up next is a special guest.
She is none other than,
'Sursuri' niece.
[music playing]
She's so cute.
Hi.
Oh, my dear...
So, coming up to create
- a spectacle... - Uncle 'Sursuri.'
Please welcome Anirudh
Suswaram, aka 'Sursuri bhai.'
[song playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
Hey!
[singing]
'Check that.'
- Cheating. - Ah!
Thank you.
Anirudh, it was great.
- Thank you. - Superb. Everything was fabulous.
The only thing I felt was
you could have brought some romance in the song.
I felt that was missing a bit.
But you showed so many improvisations
that were dangerous,
but very entertaining. Fabulous.
- Thank you. - Very good.
I liked a few things very much.
Especially, the way you played with the rhythm, that was very brave.
In some places, I did not feel the song at all.
It was like a mixed bag. 'This is nice'
'Why did he do this? He shouldn't have done this.'
And I think, instead of doing
so many things if you had just done justice to the song
even then it would sound great. Because
your voice is making this a new song.
Thank you, sir.
But the star of his performance
- was... - I know.
- What is her name? - Arudhra.
Arudhra.
- Hi... - Hi, baby. She's too cute.
How did you like your uncle's song?
Was it nice?
Oh, 10 on 10. She gave the marks.
- Oh... - Oh, wow.
No, no...
- Isn't that 10 on 10? - Did you show me your nail paint?
- She's showing her nail paint. - She's showing her nails.
Your nail paint is very pretty.
She's so cute. My God.
How did your sister like the song?
I liked it very much.
I can say, I'm a proud sister.
Aww...
