Friends, my father Udit Narayan's 45th anniversary
celebration is still in full swing.

Songs that have taught people how to express love and emotions.
Its magic is still alive in people's hearts.
So, let's celebrate Bollywood's most iconic musical duo!
Presenting Maestro Mayuri Saha.

Woah!
[singing]
Wow!
[singing]
Amazing!
Wow! Wow!

Wow! Wow!
[singing]
Woah!
[singing]
[music playing]
- Woah! - Well done! Very well done!
Well done!
Thank you so much!
- Well done! - Amazing! - Wow!
Well done!
Shall I come over there?
I'd like to say something.
- Yes, please! - I need to say something.
Wow!
The first time
- I saw this girl in Kolkata during a competition years ago. - Oh!
There is something... You see many people at competitions,
but some just stay in your mind. She was one of them.
She is very dedicated
and focused.
She's not distracted by anything else focused on music.
And as you all know, she has also completed her masters, right?
Tell us about that.
Actually, my masters thesis, my research paper,
was reviewed by ma'am.
It was based on the 'Gharana' system in Indian classical music.
How the 'Guru-Shishya' tradition continues.
- Wow. - The advantages of 'Guru Shishya' and the individuality...
- She wrote a brilliant paper. Since then, I've known... - Wow!
She truly wants to explore this subject deeply.
Which is a wonderful quality.
That's why I wanted to come
and bless you. That's why I came.
God bless you.
Ma'am, you may not remember,
but this saree I'm wearing right now
- you gifted it to me last year. - Oh, I gave you this saree?
Wow, it's looking so pretty on you.
I feel
when I wear this saree
your blessings are always with me.
They always are. Always.
- Beautiful! - Thank you. - Thank you. Thank you, ma'am.
[applause]
Your bond with ma'am,
and the fact that she remembers you,
and the fact that you are wearing the same attire that she gifted to you.
It's just beautiful and...
I know that you are very diligent.
And I just wish
that your quest,
I know that your quest is not limited to this.
It will continue.
And this platform is a huge milestone for you.
Just keep moving forward.
Even if you grow by 1% every day...
That's a win.
- I can see that. Okay? - Absolutely right. Absolutely right.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
What a performance by Ms Mayuri.
I'm at a loss for words. Seriously, what are you all
made of?
You step on the stage with such confidence
and just sing like that. So confidently.
- Thank you, sir. - God bless you. - Thank you so much.
Thank you, Mayuri. Very well done.
[song playing]
[singing]
- I am checking the metering. - Yes.
So this is...
[music playing]
[singing]
Amazing!
- Wow, wow, wow! - Wow!
Wow!
- Wow, wow, wow! - Woah!
Bro!
Dad, you're too cute. You're very...
No one should be this cute.
- Narayan sir, you've raised the bar. - Oh, my God!
- You've blown the roof off. Not Raised it. - He has done both.
I never imagined this was possible.
Not even in a parallel universe.
I mean...
- You... Hey! - This is a sign of respect.
This is a sign of respect.
Thanks, dad. That was epic.
[song playing]
Badshah, just like how my dad used to sing at fairs.
There's a singer here, Manushi.
She's a bit of a mess.
[laughing]
Because she stirs things up with her questions.
Manushi's got celebs sweating
with her singing
and questions.
After devouring Chicken Changezi,
she's here to stir up trouble with the questions.
Idol's crazy girl, Manushi Ghosh!
He is too good.
What a play on words. Wow, wow, wow.
Thank you. Thank you.
[music playing]
[singing]
Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
you'll now listen to 'Aankh Marey' in Manushi Ghosh's voice.
[singing]
[applause]
[song playing]
- Thank you so much. Thank you! - Outstanding.
No.
This is incredible. Incredible!
Thank you.
These sons don't seem to be anyone else's. They seem to be yours.
Wow!
The original now feels like yours. You've added
your own special touch.
You've spiced it up.
Fantastic. Everybody has forgotten the original singer.
- Superb. - Thank you, ma'am. - Thank you so much.
Superb. You rock!
- All the best. - Thank you, sir.
- Fabulous. - Thank you, ma'am.
'Bin Tere Sanam' is my all-time favourite song.
So many remakes have happened. But the OG is what it is.
And the OG is sitting right here.
You sang 'Bin Tere Sanam' beautifully.
You did justice to it.
Amazing!
But for 'Aankh Marey...'
I don't know what you did...
Something she did with the music...
That's her actual character, right?
Don't be fooled
by that sweet face.
She's a rock star. She's got...
- She is a cat. - She is a cat, right?
- She is a cat. - She is a cat.
That's a fresh compliment for you.
Meow.
But that transition, though...
When you switched to 'bandish' style, then the 'thumri...'
[singing]
- Hey! - Wow!
[singing]
What were you even doing? Are you mad or what?
You absolutely nailed it.
This presentation was
- fabulous and will be remembered. - Thank you, ma'am.
I never imagined 'Aankh Marey' like this.
Looks like I'll have to learn another language after Japanese.
I am out of words.
Teach me Persian.
[speaking in Persian]
Marvellous! Excellent!
[speaking in Persian]
[song playing]
Why are you clapping, Biswarup? Did you even get it?
Sir, Chaitanya's amazing at this.
- Please, I really request you to... - Let's do it. - Chaitanya, please...
Chaitanya understood it.
[speaking in Persian]
[laughing]
No Jaspreet Bumrah was harmed.
[speaking in Persian]
Come on!
[speaking in Persian]
- Oh wow! - Super Imposa!
Arushi, there are two legends right in front of us.
I already have questions on my mind. I will ask questions.
Oh! Okay.
Kavita madam. Mr Udit sir.
Did you ever lie about something in your lives which was interesting?
I have lied many times in my life.
There was a time when a lot of music directors used to work at once.
No one wants to let go of a song.
I used to get calls when I am singing in the studio.
They would ask me why I was late.
I would say, 'I will be there in ten minutes.'
'I am right at the signal outside the studio.' I heard that one.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
I know that too.
I was tired of waiting for you at a time.
Moving on to the second question.
Did you listen to any song
in the recent times
which made you think that you would have sung that better?
There are many songs.
I wished I had gotten that song.
It would have been fun.
The thing with my dad is he only likes the songs
- that he could imagine in his voice. - he could imagine in his voice.
There's 'Haule Haule' from 'Rab Ne Banadi Jodi'.
There's 'Tauba Tauba'.
That wasn't 'Haule Haule'.
- What song was that? - "The wind is breezing slowly."
You like that song.
- Is it? - Is it?
[laughs]
He is so cute.
[sings a song]
Fabulous! Wow!
Give a round of applause for Arushi.
Dad, do you know that Myscmme is my namesake sister?
Yes. I know.
Do you know that Priyangshu likes Myscmme?
I know that too.
Do you know that I am your son?
What are you even talking about?
With this information, you know what Priyangshu means to you.
Son-in-law.
What?
Didn't you bring anything for your son-in-law?
Ah.
I think I brought something.
[laughs]
Don't you dare!
Don't you dare look at my daughter!
Oh my god!
After listening to his namesake father-in-law speak ill about him,
Priyangshu Dutta.
[applause]
[singing a song]
- Oh wow! - What?
Ah!
Oh!
Well done!
[singing]
Wow! How is he doing this?
He is my Priyangshu.
[singing a song]
How does he sound so much like...
[guitar playing]
Ah!
[singing a song]
[instruments playing]
[applause]
Hats off!
There are filters on a phone, right?
You can look like someone else when you apply the filter.
There is AI and filters.
You have applied a Udit Narayan filter to your voice today.
That's why I put the headphones on to listen to you.
How? How?
The style that you sing in is typically
Arijit Singh and Vishal Mishra.
This is the first time I hear you
sing Udit Narayan's song.
You have done a great job.
You have truly applied an Udit Narayan filter to your voice.
Thank you so much.
I just want to give you my love for the fact that
you took up this challenge.
I will sing one of the most iconic songs of Udit Narayan.
- What a song! - Thank you so much, madam.
What a great song, Mr Udit!
Give a round of applause.
This is one of my favourite songs ever.
The true fun of this song lies in the movie. - Yes.
When the song plays in a 70MM theatre
in the Dolby Atmos
the entire atmosphere around us changes.
Mr Udit, Let's go. Come on.
[applause]
[singing a song]
Wow!
Well done!
[applause]
All the songs are beautiful. But there are certain songs
that directly touch our hearts. This is one of those songs.
The way you have sung this song
came from your heart. You gave it all.
- I heard you haven't learnt music. - No, sir.
You sing so well without learning anything.
You proved that you are at this stage.
You are here. You are here.
You proved that you will remain in everyone's hearts.
Thank you so much, sir.
I want to ask Myscmme.
You know Priyangshu.
Are you friends with Priyangshu?
- Of course, sir. - You should take things forward.
I like this boy a lot.
Mr Udit.
These children are learning music.
They are focusing on their music. Why are you distracting them?
[laughs]
The music will keep going on. There is no stopping it.
This is good.
Dad, please come here. Myscmme, please come.
Let's do one thing. I will give you a few situations.
Let's see what Priyangshu
does in those situations which will decide if this worth it.
Mostly, he won't. But let's see.
The first situation is Priyangshu.
If you, Priyangshu,
have to express love at first sight, which song would you choose?
[singing a song]
[applause]
How much would you score this, Myscmme?
Nine.
Why nine points, by the way?
He called me innocent and beautiful.
I am happy.
'Eyes are mesmerising.' Oh wow!
Oh wow! Oh wow! Well done!
[laughs]
Priyangshu, let's say, Myscmme is angry.
She stopped talking to you. Which song would you sing?
[singing a song]
Priyangshu, get yourself a passport. Go to Bangladesh.
Thank you, Myscmme. Thank you, Priyangshu.
Don't come in front of me again.
To relieve herself from the elimination
someone is coming here to perform an iconic song.
Rani Ritika Raj.
[song playing]
[singing a song]
[applause]
[applauding]
[drumbeats playing]
[chorus vocalising]
[singing]
[chorus vocalising]
[chorus singing]
That's great.
Wow!
Amazing.
Wow.
[singing]
[chorus singing]
[applauding]
Wow! You sang beautifully.
Just like the lyrics of the song are...
'The drums are playing'
'the village has been decorated.'
You sang the song with the same gusto.
Thank you very much.
You are the expression queen. No doubt about that.
You're fabulous.
Well done.
You added your style to this song
and it really suited your voice. Very good.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
Judges, please give your scores for Ritika's performance.
Ritika, I wish you all the best.
Thank you so much, sir.
Presenting the new legend of the old legacy,
Sneha Shankar.
[applauding and cheering]
[vocalising]
[tabla playing]
[singing]
[drums playing]
[singing]
Oh! Wow.
[applauding and cheering]
I was lost. You have such good control of the song.
Wonderful preparation.
I was sad the song ended.
Well said.
You are what they call 'complete singer.'
Thank you so much.
I mean... We are happy
that you are going to be
the pride of our India. You are already the pride of India.
And you will go very far.
Thank you so much.
[speaking in Japanese]
- We need a translator. - [speaking in Japanese]
Why are you speaking in Japanese?
This was out of this world.
- That's what it meant? - [speaking in Japanese]
[speaking in Japanese]
- Oh, wow! - Oh, wow.
Truly he's out of words, huh?
When it comes to Sneha, this is what actually happens.
When she comes, the heart sings, 'Sprinkle flowers, Sneha is here.'
Aww...
Sneha added her style even in these songs.
She included her style in a small place.
[singing]
It was a small part.
Amazing. Sneha is Sneha.
And I keep waiting for you.
You sang very well, though your throat is sore.
I can feel it, it's still not fully okay.
Some other singers also are having throat problems.
- Seems like you've had too much fun in Abu Dhabi. - Yas Island.
- Huh? Yas Island. - Did they go to Yas Island?
- Yes. - I've seen all their stories.
- Priyangshu... - Priyangshu did not get a visa.
[laughing]
- Passport? - You don't have a passport?
- Oh, that's why this bit was there. - Why don't you have a passport?
Because he's still not got his birth certificate.
[laughing]
Who else did not go? Shubhajit, you too?
Get your passports ready, I will take you and go.
Judges, please mark your scores for Sneha's performance.
[song playing]
I can't do it.
Mr Badshah, do you know why Mr Vishu
- is not with us today? - Why is he not here?
Only because of David Berish.
- David? - David is the one
who started paragliding in the world.
If not for David
then Mr Vishu wouldn't have got injured while paragliding.
And he would sit here and say,
'What the hell is this? Shreya is here,'
'Mr Udit is here, but no singer has sung my song 'Radha.'
'I'll break the bridge.'
Before Mr Vishu breaks the bridge, sitting at home
coming to sing Mr Vishu,
Mr Udit and Mrs SG's song,
'Radha,' are the chicken stealing brother and sister,
Shubhajit and Manasi.
[laughing]
[singing]
[applauding]
[chorus singing]
[singing]
[chorus singing]
[cheering]
- The party has just begun. - The party has just begun.
Mind-blowing. It was great fun.
So much gusto, fun and your style is amazing, Manasi.
Shubhajit was sounding
both like Vishu and Mr Udit.
I mean, you made a combination.
It was great, you have played some tricks with your throat today.
It was great.
- Thank you. - I'm really missing our dear Mr Vishu.
You sang such a lovely song of Mr Vishal and Mr Shekhar,
so it's my duty to show you something.
'Hey, guys. I met with a small accident a few days back.'
'Unfortunately, I'll have to miss the shoot for a few weeks.'
'I will have to miss my Indian Idol family'
'Shreya, Badshah, Adi... I miss you, guys.'
'Obviously, I'm missing all the singers very much.'
'The madness that we have week after week'
'and your incredibly insane'
'and constantly improving performances,'
'I will miss all of that. And it's my loss, really.'
'But I'm sure your madness will not stop'
'and the crazy performances will also not stop.'
'I'll come back soon and jump on the bandwagon, in a couple of weeks.'
'Until then, I hope you guys miss me as much as I miss you.'
'Lots of love. All the best of everything. I'll be back soon.'
We miss you, Mr Vishu.
- He's sounding also a little down, right? - Yes.
- He can't speak. - He's badly hurt this time.
He's badly hurt. But you know how Vishu is.
- He will do it again. He's never going to change. - 100%
This is not the first time he's hurt.
Mrs Shreya and Mr Udit,
please sing a couple of lines from this song. It's a request.
[applauding]
[vocalising]
[music playing]
[singing]
[vocalising]
Oh, my God. A big round of applause for my dad and SG.
[song playing]
Coming from the rivers of Delhi to the seas of Mumbai,
to celebrate my dad,
is 'Sursuri bhai.' Ready to destroy.
Anirudh Suswaram.
[music playing]
Wow.
- Is he playing it? - Yes, he is playing it.
Wow.
[singing]
- Ah-ha. - Wow.
[singing]
- Ah-ha. - Oh, wow.
'These small things happen in big cities.'
'Senorita.'
[singing]
What wonderful singing.
[drums playing]
[singing]
- Wow. - Wow.
- Oh-ho. - Wow.
[applauding and cheering]
[song playing]
- Dad. - Dad.
I can hear, I'm not deaf.
- Both songs were dashing and your singing also was dashing. - Thanks.
- It felt like Anirudh's voice. - Thank you, sir.
- A very bold voice, right? - Amazing.
'Sursuri bhai,' the way you are singing
the confidence with which you're singing,
and not just one song, but both 'Ruk Ja...'
Before that you sang the other song.
In 'Ruk Ja O Dil Deewane'
you became a different person altogether.
You sounded wonderful even in that
and in 'Ruk Ja,' you vibed with the band.
You think of so many things.
You think of so many places where you insert your style.
[singing]
Just one note, because many episodes are done now.
- You have to work on one thing, and that's diction. - Diction.
Yes.
You had enhanced in between, now it's time to step up.
The 'mahaprana,' the aspirated consonants - 'Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha,'
- 'Cha, Chcha, Ja, Jha,' - Yes.
if they are not pronounced correctly in Hindi, when required,
then the meaning of the words will change.
Work a little on that. If you do that,
then, Anirudh, you're spotless.
- That's what I want from you. - Sure, ma'am.
Judges, please mark your scores for Anirudh's performance.
[music playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
[applauding]
The song is no doubt beautiful.
And both of you justified the song wonderfully.
- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.
Mr Anand and Mr Milind's music,
and lyrics were by Mr Majrooh Sultanpuri.
This song was from my first hit film.
- Your name is Ragini, right? - Yes.
- Huh? - Yes.
- What can I say? Her voice is fit for a heroine. - That's right.
- Well said. - Thank you, sir.
Wow.
I'll only say, 'My fellow traveller just wait for some time.'
But whatever you're waiting for, you've already found it.
Keep moving ahead and spreading your charm.
Thank you.
[speaking in Japanese]
- What? - [speaking in Japanese]
[singing]
Whoa!
[cheering and applauding]
[singing]
Wow, what a performance.
It's time for the sixth elimination of Indian Idol Season 15.
Based on the judge's scores of this time and the previous time
we will choose the bottom three singers.
All the best
to all of you. A big round of applause
for all our singers.
The bottom three singers are
Shubhajit,
Priyangshu and Mayuri.
The contestant whose journey on Indian Idol ends today,
the name is...
Mayuri.
Shubhajit, Priyangshu, congratulations.
Both of you are in the Top Ten. A big round of applause for them.
