[audience cheering, applauding]
India, your love
has helped our show achieve roaring success!
Wow!
So, we decided to set a new record.
We decided to invite a superstar pair
who have never appeared on this platform in the past 20 years.
Please welcome 'Jodi No. 1'
and a multiple award winner, Govinda!
Woo-hoo!
And the beautiful
national crush of India, Neelam Kothari!
Hey!
- We can't see anyone. - Hang on. Where did they go?
Hello! They aren't here.
What's going on?
- All right. They will take just two minutes. - Okay.
[yawning]
'A few moments later.'
'- Adi, they are ready.' - Okay.
'And action!'
Once again, please welcome 'Jodi No. 1'.
Govinda and the very beautiful Neelam Kothari!
They are here.
[song playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
- They don't look happy. What happened? - I don't know.
Neelam and Govinda, both of you are a little late.
I wasn't late.
Actually, people take advantage of someone's bad reputation.
I was ready, but as usual, he wasn't.
Huh.
All my heroines throw tantrums.
[laughing]
It's the same old drama.
They take ages to get ready,
yet they never manage to be on time.
I want to intervene.
My co-judge, Badshah, has less hair.
He doesn't even need to apply make-up.
He doesn't need to do much to be ready, yet he is always late.
Sir, I don't really get late.
Actually, I respect traditions.
Really!
It's always ladies first, so I was waiting for you to arrive.
Oh!
Oh, really!
If girls were really punctual,
channel would have chosen two girls on the panel instead of two boys.
Excuse me, Vishal.
She is a force to reckon with.
'Whoa!'
I have an idea.
Let's decide who is better. Boys or girls.
- Let's do it! - Oh, yes!
- Let's begin, Girls versus Boys! - Let's go!
Woo-hoo!
[song playing]
The first singer in Girls versus Boys is Anirudh Suswaram.
[audience cheering, applauding]
[tapping]
[Anirudh singing a song]
Well done.
[musical instruments playing]
[musical instruments continue playing]
[Anirudh singing a song]
[audience cheering, applauding]
[Anirudh singing a song]
Whoa!
Bravo!
[Anirudh singing a song]
[Anirudh continues singing a song]
[musical instruments playing]
[Anirudh mouthing words]
[Anirudh singing a song]
[Anirudh continues singing a song]
[Anirudh singing a song]
Thank you!
[audience cheering, applauding]
An artist should be
exceptional, superb,
and most importantly, unstoppable.
- Aha! Well said. - "Unstoppable!"
- You're an unstoppable artist. - It means a lot.
I want you to sing for films.
It would be really nice
because you have it in you.
Yay!
The mark of a great artist
is that even if they sing a song from an unfamiliar genre,
they perform it just as well. It was simply incredible.
You were blabbering in between the lyrics. How did you do it?
[Anirudh mouthing words]
Sir, I made it up.
- I blabbered away. - Mind-blowing! It seemed you spoke Chinese.
Earlier, you seemed like a student who always scores full marks.
They are sincere
and well-mannered.
Then, he suddenly jumped onto the desk and started dancing.
It was that kind of vibe.
Whoa!
Exactly!
Did you think of this peculiar idea?
- Actually, I'm like that. - Is that so?
- Yes, ma'am. - Don't you think it was sir's idea?
Sir, you made him do it. Right?
Anything that never happened in films before,
the writers could never write, or...
The music composer couldn't think of such music.
[guffawing]
Anirudh, I loved your style
because I can speak Chinese.
- Oh, wow! - That's right. I can speak.
- Huh! - Please!
- Please go on. - Go on.
[speaking foreign language]
[guffawing]
- I know Chinese. - Wow!
- As I was born in Hong Kong... - Ah! Of course!
Yes. That's why I know Cantonese.
Even though you're our rival,
- I loved your performance. - Thank you, ma'am.
Girls, come on! Buck up!
Yes!
- Well done, Anirudh. - Thank you, ma'am.
SG, Priyangshu met Myscmme and asked her,
"Please ask your numerologist what my future wife will be like."
[guffawing]
And guess what?
Myscmme's numerologist sent him a checklist.
It mentioned that Priyangshu's wife will be pretty cute.
But our Myscmme is also cute.
It mentioned that Priyangshu's wife would be a singer. Gosh!
I mean...
What's cooking?
Anyway, I've submitted the details to the AI system.
We'll soon find out
what Priyangshu's wife will look like.
Three, two, one, and show!
[song playing]
[guffawing]
Oh, my! I can't take it!
[song playing]
I can't muster the courage to look at Chaitanya.
After breaking Priyangshu's heart,
she will give the boys a tough fight.
Indian Idol's most beautiful girl, Myscmme Bosu, will now sing.
Huh!
Sir, they are warding off the evil eye six times.
[guffawing]
"She is here! Chikni Chameli is here!"
Woo-hoo!
[musical instruments playing]
[drums beating]
[Myscmme singing a song]
[wolf-whistling]
[Myscmme singing a song]
[Myscmme continues singing a song]
[musical instruments playing]
[musical instruments continue playing]
[Myscmme singing a song]
[Myscmme continues singing a song]
[Myscmme singing a song]
- Woo-hoo! - Bravo!
[musical instruments playing]
Wow!
[Myscmme singing a song]
[Myscmme continues singing a song]
Wonderful!
[Myscmme singing a song]
Whoa!
[Myscmme singing a song]
Woo-hoo!
[Myscmme singing a song]
Woo-hoo!
- Wow! - [audience cheering]
- Oh, my! - Once more!
- Once more!
Come on! Let's go! Come on!
- Come on! Come on! Come on! - Hang on.
She is outstanding.
- Once more! Once more! - Once more!
- Once more! Once more! - Once more! Once more!
Before I sing, Myscmme!
- [audience cheering, applauding] - Woo-hoo!
Hang on. Is she real? Yes, she is.
Electrifying! You set the stage on fire!
- Whoa! - "Well done!"
[Shreya vocalising]
[Shreya singing a song]
Aha!
Wonderful!
[Shreya singing a song]
[Shreya continues singing a song]
[Shreya singing a song]
[choir singing a song]
[beatboxing]
[laughing]
- Gosh! - Woo-hoo!
My goodness!
What should we do? Let's leave.
- We are redundant. - Let's end the season.
We're no longer needed. You can handle things on your own.
There's no song that you can't sing.
She is a goddess...
- Gosh! - She is truly a goddess.
What are you doing? It's fun to be on this show.
They are stalwarts who still behave like children.
They are actually legends.
We're simply serving music.
We are all students of music, including you,
me, and everyone else.
I feel awkward when you praise me.
- Because I don't... - Please understand. Hear me out.
I've never seen a human
grow at this pace, nor have I seen anyone become like you.
When you say that we're stalwarts, I agree.
I don't deny that.
Both of us have done great work,
but we must bow down to your greatness.
[audience cheering, applauding]
I've become Badshah now.
Shall we go back to our table?
- Yes. Let's do this over there. - Let's go there.
[audience cheering, applauding]
Too good.
Shreya, I want to say that you're so graceful.
You're so beautiful.
- Myscmme. - Yes, ma'am.
I'm fascinated by your name "Myscmme".
Thank God, it's not "kiss me".
[guffawing]
Your performance... Why did it end? It was so beautiful.
You've now put the boys in their place.
- You've put them in their place. - Aww!
Superb!
[audience cheering, applauding]
- Your performance was unmatched! - Well said.
You are interested in numerology,
and my real name was Govind.
Since the day I changed my name to a popular southern name "Govinda",
there was no turning back. It was only because of numerology.
- Well done! - Bravo!
[audience cheering, applauding]
May God bless you.
Thank you so much, sir.
Boys, it hasn't ended yet.
[song playing]
Please don't be scared because I am!
[laughing]
Myscmme, I feel you're still fooling around.
You're just having fun.
If I say something, it might be a hindrance.
You're right. Please...
[guffawing]
Thank you, Myscmme. Very well done.
Vishu sir, let's invite the next singer to the stage.
[song playing]
[laughing and applauding]
Hold on!
Who is this? Ma'am, please take the veil off.
Vishu sir is dying to see you.
I am restless and impatient.
[laughing]
What a beautiful face.
The one we thought was Chaitanya's collar bell
turned out to be Bhushangad's strong and formidable aunt.
Aunty!
Pinky, why are you dressed like this?
No! Hold on! Okay.
She's pulling something out. Okay!
It says, 'Please make Vishu sir give me my money, '
- 'Govinda sir, I plead.' - You still didn't give her?
'I'm staying disguised as an aunty'
'so the grocery shop owner doesn't catch me.'
[laughing]
Oh! Actually, the thing is,
the cheques that Vishu gave to Pinky
have shut up and bounced.
He will give you the money once he has money.
- For now... - I assure you, I will not give you money.
I won't! Never!
[audience applauding]
[song playing]
So, with a pinky promise to make the boys win
and give the girls tough competition, here comes the one
whose voice is explosive and sings like a powerhouse,
Chaitanya Devadhe.
[applause and cheer]
Okay, bye!
[vocalising]
[singing]
[cheering]
[singing]
[applause and cheer]
Oh!
[applause and cheer]
[cheering]
[singing]
[applause and cheer]
[cheering]
[applause and cheer]
[cheering]
[applause and cheer]
[vocalisation]
[applause and cheering]
[cheering]
[applause and cheering]
Once more! [all]
[applause and cheering]
I just want to say,
these people are a powerhouse.
Wow!
This is done!
Now we shall talk.
I used to think that this song was meant to be sung by two people.
And the two vocalists in it,
both are unique individuals.
I sang one part
and there was Master Saleem.
He is a miracle.
And this Maharashtra's light, Chaitanya,
has handled it all alone, and not just handled it,
but the modification at the end that you've made,
Vishal and Shekhar will definitely file a case against you.
Can we have a huge round of applause for Vishal―Shekhar, please.
[applause and cheer]
Such a song was never made and it will never be made.
[applause]
Such a song can only be created by such a person.
So crazy, so genius, so...
- Passionate! - So passionate!
Someone who purely loves music.
This song wasn't made thinking about whether it would be
a hit or flop, it was made from zero.
And there are very few songs that are made from zero.
You are a genius! We love you so much.
Chaitanya, you sang really well.
You did justice
to this masterpiece. This is my comment.
Thank you so much, sir. Thank you!
This chorus...
[vocalising]
I never heard anyone do this properly.
I've heard... You guys were so good.
Really!
Sir, this is Indian Idol.
Everything is best here.
If you could
- sing a verse of this song with me. - Come on!
- Yeah! - Only with your permission.
[singing]
Wow!
[singing]
[applause and cheer]
[singing]
[applause]
[cheer and applause]
Very good!
Oh my! Oh!
[applause and cheer]
Wow!
You are a true rock star.
I mean, that's the word on t-shirts, but that's the truth!
- You are a true rock star! A big hand! - Absolutely!
He is my friend. My friend!
Chaitu, you are the best.
Oh! I forgot that there is a competition going on.
Oh my! I am a judge again.
Girls, buckle up!
Okay! Now, Govinda,
I've put a whistle in this.
[music playing]
I will count to three
and we will both put our hands in it.
Whoever finds the whistle
gets to choose who the face-off will be between.
Oh!
- One, two, three! - Three!
Hey!
Oh my!
[applause]
Found it?
Amazing!
- Govinda sir found the whistle. - Yes!
He used his left hand.
Oh! It was that easy for him.
- Sir, it's 'B' for boys. - Amazing!
Boys are winning.
Sir, we won, so we have the power to decide
who will have the face-off.
I think there should be a face-off between Subhajit and Sneha.
Oh!
Please welcome Sneha and Subhajit.
[music playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
Lovely!
[cheering]
Nice!
[applause and cheer]
Lovely!
- Wow! - Brilliant!
- Thank you! - Thank you, sir. Thank you, ma'am.
Mind-blowing!
The audience has lost it.
I want to address
a serious issue.
[heart beating]
Have you ever seen Shreya and Badshah sitting apart?
[laughing]
No, sir. Never!
How did you agree to sit in the corner so soon?
Neelam is here, so you easily agreed to sit next to her.
Sir, if you were given this option, you would have done the same.
[laughing]
I was given that option.
Excuse me, you are hitting on my heroine.
[laughing]
SG, there is a fight going on between the boys and the girls.
But we have a cranky girl here, Ritika.
She is a huge fan
of the charming man in the industry, Govinda.
Come on!
And when she found out that he will be here today,
she started crying and said...
'I am so happy!'
[laughing]
'I've never been so happy.'
Whoa!
Amazing!
So, in celebration of Govinda's arrival, after crying,
to wash the boys out with her singing, here comes Idol's RRR.
'Rani' Ritika Raj.
Yeah!
Come and show the boys
- that a girl from Bihar is fierce. - That's like it!
- Come on! - Whoa!
Amazing!
- Oh my! - Where are you going?
- Whoa! - Nice!
Wonderful!
A lioness.
Go and show the boys that you are a lioness.
- Wow! - Boys,
have you seen a lioness eat curd?
[laughing]
That too with a spoon.
Very sophisticated lioness.
Anyway, Ritika, all the very best.
- Sophisticated lioness. - Girls!
[music playing]
Oh!
[singing]
Whoa!
[cheering]
[vocalising]
Wow!
[cheering]
- Good job! - Is she really from Bihar?
[applause]
[singing]
Wow!
[applause]
[cheering]
Ritika is a drama queen for me.
She is so good at this.
I see a full performance
on her performance. I can see the whole picturisation of it.
Also, I think our pitch
was slightly below throughout today, overall.
So, you need to buckle up.
It was enjoyable, though. Your expressions
and the energy needed were spot on.
As Shreya said,
you are a drama queen for sure.
I like that.
Because people don't expect this from us, who are more rooted.
You are from Bihar. Hello!
I like it when people like us add drama.
Good luck!
Thank you!
Ritika, I loved your performance.
Also, this song
is one of my favourite songs.
And you are really a lioness
and you are a drama queen.
You were too good! I loved it!
[applause]
You have really
shot bullets at the boy's team.
Really?
She did praise her,
However, I don't believe what she said in the end.
[laughter]
I don't lie, you see.
- Is that so? - Oh, my!
[laughter]
Girls are the best. Please accept it, Govinda.
Sir, how could you forget your mother Nirmala Devi?
- What are you saying? - I am at a loss for words now.
The discussion is over!
The competition can't be continued!
[laughter]
That's what girls do.
They hit you with something emotional
leaving the boy totally helpless.
We talked about one thing
and Shreya took it in a different direction!
Presenting the one with solid notes from Kharagpur,
the Idol 'paan' seller,
Subhajit Chakraborty.
[laughter]
What's with the 'paan'?
[laughter]
Hey, what's happening?
[applause]
[music playing]
'Subhajit Chakraborty Kharagpur, 22 Years'
Ah!
[Subhajit performing]
'Film - Omkara Singer - Rahat Fateh Ali Khan'
'Music - Vishal Bhardwaj Lyrics - Gulzar'
Wow.
Ah, lovely.
[cheer and applause]
[cheering]
Thank you so much. Thank you, everybody.
[applause]
[applause fades]
I have a confession to make.
I told Shreya earlier,
"I don't think he has the darkness"
"that's needed to perform this song."
But, brother, you went there
and took me to the place where my pain thrives.
And it was...
Cathartic!
In the end, you...
[solemn music playing]
So beautiful.
Thank you so much, sir.
Thank you, brother. Thank you. That was fantastic.
Truly beautiful.
[applause]
I actually went into a trance when you were singing.
It was mesmerising.
I'm speechless and I got goosebumps.
Fantastic.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
What do I say?
Whenever you sing those notes,
it reflects in your personality
just what a lovely being you are.
There's an expression in Marathi called 'fodun takla'.
It was a mind-blowing performance.
Thank you so much, sir.
[applause]
I love you. I swear I love you.
When I stand beside you,
I don't feel you can sing like this!
Thank you so much, sir.
Ma'am, can I be frank?
When I stand beside him, I see a reflection of you in him.
He's as mischievous as you.
- His eyes are a reflection of his soul. - Yes.
My mother told me,
"Notice Subho when he sings. His eyes are half open."
"Like this."
And many evolved...
I mean, you're still young and I shouldn't be saying this.
Take any enlightened being,
they will always have half-closed eyes.
Subho exudes that divinity.
Such people are rare,
and they tend to make it very big.
Their goal is not to sing and win,
you've come into this world with a much greater purpose
which you shall fulfil.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
May you attain victory.
Season 15 is lucky to have so many great artists.
Not contestants, great artists.
Good job, Indian Idol.
I guess you were waiting for me to come here.
That's my comment.
Mic drop!
- I wish to say something, please. - Sure, Neelam.
- You make delicious 'paan'. - Yes, ma'am.
- I hope you brought some for me. - Yes, ma'am.
Okay!
Ma'am, you won't get 'paan' so easily.
- Oh! - You have to guess the name of the 'paan' first.
I want the 'paan' at all costs.
Way to go!
Bring the 'paan', please.
Oh my God! The sensational 'paan'!
I hope the 'paan' is sweet.
"You will know after you eat it."
Neelam, Subhajit has a request.
He'd love it if you came on stage and had the 'paan'.
[applause]
Neelam, let me tell you that Badshah here made a special request.
Whoever gets the name of the 'paan' right
gets to have the 'paan'.
The other person has to dance.
- Come on! - I have a request, Neelam.
- Badshah... - Please get it right
because we all want to see Badshah dance!
[laughter]
- What is this? - You're not cheering.
- Neelam! Neelam... - Badshah!
- Neelam... - Badshah!
Fly away, pigeon! [laughs]
- Neelam! - [applause]
- What is this? - Neelam...
- What's this called? - It's related to you.
- Oh! 'Tota Maina!' - 'Tota Maina!'
- Done! - [laughs]
- Done. - 'Main Tera Tota...'
- Subhajit, is that correct? - Yes, it is.
- Wonderful. Neelam got it right. - You have...
- You have to dance! - Neelam will get to have 'paan'
and Badshah will dance.
That's more like it!
Correct.
I hope you know why I'm doing it,
- because it's Neelam. - My, oh, my!
Hey, where's Badshah going?
Sir, give me your blessing. [chuckles]
[laughter]
[up-tempo music playing]
['Main Tera Tota Tu Meri Maina' playing]
[laughter]
[laughter and applause]
Wonderful!
My mother sent me here with great hopes
that her son is going to be a judge on Indian Idol
and here I'm doing this!
[laughter]
Thank you, Neelam. Fantastic.
Well done, Badshah.
Lovely.
A big hand for Neelam.
What a fantastic performance!
[laughter]
Thank you, Subhajit.
Good job.
To give the boys a tough fight, I'd like to call
Idol's quiet girl, the maestro Mayuri Saha.
To beat the boys hands down...
Ah!
Coming on stage is Mayuri! [all girls]
- [whooping] - [applause]
[music playing]
'Mayuri Saha Kolkata, 27 Years'
Wow!
Everyone's singing about eyes!
I know. [laughs]
'Film - Dil Se Singer - Lata M, MG Shrikumar'
'Music - A R Rehman Lyrics - Gulzar, Gireesh P'
Yes!
Fantastic!
[Mayuri performing]
Whoa!
Wow.
Lovely!
Wow.
Wow!
- [whooping] - [applause]
Is this song from a movie?
Yes, quite old.
Ah!
Whoa!
[applause]
Whoa!
Wow!
My God!
[applause continues]
My Mayuri is back!
[cheer and applause]
Imagine this to be a crown.
There.
[applause]
Such songs with such precision!
I mean, 'Jiya Jale' was outstanding.
And not many people know about the song 'Sanwre'.
The music was given by Pandit Ravi Shankar.
It was composed by him.
Lata sang it.
It's a difficult song.
It is already tough,
then she added her sargams.
And what sargams at such speed with the band!
She didn't miss a single note.
Every note was impeccable.
What precision!
[applause]
Thank you so much, ma'am. Thank you.
We should give Mayuri a title. The Sargam Queen!
[applause]
My heart is rejoicing. I am so proud right now.
- Thank you. - You make me proud.
And I'm happy that I brought her to this season of the show.
So, I have a hand in it, right?
God bless you.
[applause]
Mayuri, that was an unbelievable performance.
I loved the thought
that you started from the South and moved to the North.
Are you from the South?
No, sir. I'm Bengali.
You're Bengali!
She's Bengali and the initial lines were from the South.
You seemed like you were from South India!
Then you went up North
and it felt like you just came from a village.
Outstanding! Too good.
Thank you, sir.
This day has found meaning now
all because of you.
Wow!
Ward off the evil eye.
May God bless you and all the best.
Thank you so much, sir.
Mayuri!
This was one of the best performances I've seen.
I am overjoyed.
I mean, you've inspired me. I wish I could sing like that.
I'm glad you were on the girls team.
Girls, we needed this performance.
Yay!
- Thank you, ma'am. - I wish to say one thing.
[blows whistle]
Too good!
Thank you, Mayuri.
[applause]
