- 'Where's the trophy? - [Shreya gasps]
'Where's the winner's trophy?'
'It was up there.'
'Where did it go?'
[music playing]
- [whistling and cheering] - Whoa!
Why's Adi so serious? What's happening?
- Vishu sir. - Yes, sir?
And, friends!
Idol's trophy should have been on this podium ideally!
But alas,
the trophy isn't here.
Ideally, today was our Grand Finale,
but alas,
our finale is not today.
- What! - Huh?
Where is the trophy?
Why did the finale get cancelled?
Cancelled!
- What do you mean cancelled? - [Shreya] What!
[tape rewinding]
[music playing]
[whistling and cheering]
Whoa!
- Good evening. - Come on!
Tonight is not just the destination of the musical journey
of the last few weeks,
but the destiny of those dreams
that were eager to secure a place in the sky of musical notes.
The stage is the same
and so are the stars,
but their shine is different tonight
because this is Indian Idol Season 15's
the great Grand Finale!
[applause]
Judges, we're hosting the finale,
but where are our finalists?
[tense music playing]
I don't understand a thing that's going on.
[current zapping]
[alarm blaring]
Why are they missing?
- What's happening? - What's with them missing?
'The finalists are with me.' [echoing]
What?
What!
- [whistling and cheering] - [applause]
[song playing]
[mouthing words]
Greetings, Neelam.
- How are you? - Greetings. How are you?
I'm very good, but, Neelam, you're so pretty.
Kidnapping our finalists doesn't befit you.
Oh! And you're winding up a great show so soon.
Does that befit you?
- Yes? - Oh...
Thought so.
The finale won't take place today.
- [Vishal] Come on! - [Aditya] Hey, but...
Let it not take place.
What!
Badshah and Shreya's friendship just started receiving
- the nation's love. - Oh, my.
Right?
- Aw! - Aw.
And Vishal has broken all the records of entertainment.
Yes, he has!
The finalists give first-class performances here.
And I love the show so much.
This can't be the finale.
Let's do this.
Let them perform the songs they prepared for the finale next week.
- Let's celebrate today. - Yes.
Neelam insisted with such love. So, why not?
Thank you, guys.
This is remarkable.
[applause]
Neelam, you stopped today's finale
but it's not a big deal.
One day... [mimics sword whooshing]
Our swordsman of musical notes
took out the battery from the clock and said,
"Look, friends. I have stopped time."
[laughter]
Chewing on that battery, here to give you a musical shock is...
[mimics sword whooshing]
Our swordsman of musical notes, full-on destroyer,
finalist Anirudh Suswaram!
Come on!
[applause]
[music playing]
- [Anirudh performing] - Whoa!
[Vishal and Neelam whooping]
[whooping]
[performance continues]
Ah!
'Bum Bum Bole!'
[whooping]
[performance concludes]
[whooping]
Thank you so much.
[applause]
Thank you so much.
Come on, Anirudh!
You set the dance floor on fire!
[whooping]
- Thank you, ma'am. - [whooping]
What vigour! It was enjoyable.
- Anirudh, fab! Fab... - Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
[applause]
You started with a bang.
- And this is how the pre-finale should start. - Thank you.
Just like this.
Energetic, lots of fun.
Come on, guys. Let's have fun today.
- Yes. - Yes.
It's the pre-finale.
Great start.
It was like the "master blaster".
Indian Idol-S15 - Format (Part 2 of 4)_Ep 45 Story: ZWP0063714 Lang: GBR
It was like the "master blaster".
Thank you, ma'am.
This is why I stopped the finale from happening today.
This is what I wanted to see.
I wanted to dance
and enjoy myself.
So, well done.
Thank you, ma'am.
Oi, thank you.
If this is your performance before the finale,
I can imagine how great the finale will be, swordsman of musical notes!
- [whooping] - Thank you.
A renowned poet said,
"The party has just begun."
[laughter]
A big hand for Anirudh!
[mimics sword whooshing]
[applause]
Neelam, it's time to call Vishu's favourite singer.
[song playing]
Ah!
[applause]
Whoa!
[laughter]
My, oh, my!
Whoa, Pinky!
Oh, Pinky! You seem to be in the mood!
Seems like Vishu gave you money.
You're dancing even after the music has stopped.
Oh, okay.
Oh, my!
Pinky stole Vishu's wallet.
[applause]
[whooping]
Let's see how much cash is inside.
Ah...
Oh, no.
It only has a chit.
There should be a bus ticket to this venue too, come on.
[laughter]
"Burn every complaint and grouse of my heart..."
Nice.
"If you find this wallet, put some cash inside and return it."
'By Vishal Dadlani.'
[laughter]
What was that?
[laughter]
[Aditya sobs]
I can understand if Pinky cries, but I don't get why Adi is crying.
[laughter]
Oh my God!
Let's put Pinky's chapter behind.
Here to perform with zeal
is the one with a voice extraordinaire
who sings like a pro.
Finalist Chaitanya Devadhe!
[applause]
Whoa!
Chaitanya, I have a request.
When I came here the last time, you sang the song 'Tashan Main'.
And I remember Vishal got the drone,
everyone was so excited.
Sing the same song, please.
- Wow! - Yes!
- Come on. - Come on!
[music playing]
[Chaitanya vocalising]
[whooping]
Lovely.
Ah!
Nice.
[whooping]
[performance continues]
Ah!
[whooping]
[performance concludes]
[whooping]
Once again!
[applause]
Once again.
[applause]
Oh my God!
- The artist who composed this song stood up... - No, sir.
This is not my song.
- You've got it wrong. - Then whose, sir?
Vishal and Shekhar gave this song to Chaitanya to sing for good!
Wow!
[applause]
A museum should be dedicated to your lungs.
[laughter]
How is he singing this?
I'm out of breath.
[applause]
Mad! Mad...
I thought I'd come there,
but then I said, "Let's see how the antara goes."
It's a two-person song as you said. We composed it.
This... It's not possible for me to even try to sing this song alone.
It's... It's mental, buddy. You're mental.
- You're in dire need of treatment. - [whooping]
Brother!
- Too good. - Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.
It's just not possible that he isn't in the Top 3.
[cheer and applause]
[whooping]
What a performer you are!
You sang this song for the second time.
I think the power was more,
there was more energy and confidence.
And I think that was because
you performed in your mother's presence today.
Wow! I agree.
- Yes. - Hundred percent.
Thank you for giving us such a lovely gift.
We're extremely grateful to you.
[applause]
Thank God the season is ending. I've run out of comments.
[laughter]
You'd shifted to other languages in between. Spanish, Japanese...
I'll have to soak up the sun like him now!
[laughter]
[applause]
And this band, sir...
You know the saying, "To beat the band!"
- It's meant for this band. - Yes, correct. Right.
[applause]
When I hear the drummer playing, I wish I were a drummer.
When I watch the guitarist play, I wish I could play the guitar.
What a band!
Too good.
[applause]
Just one more episode.
[laughter]
I got a bit emotional.
What a... What a season!
- Yes, baby! - What a season!
[applause]
Chaitanya, your voice is so powerful.
I'm so happy that I'm here today
because this episode is all about
- entertainment, entertainment and entertainment. - Entertainment!
And I'm delighted
that the finale didn't take place today.
[laughter]
[applause]
Thank you, Chaitanya.
Judges, here to beat everyone with her notes
is Idol's crazy girl,
finalist Manasi Ghosh!
[cheer and applause]
Manasi, we thought the finale was today.
- Yes. - Right.
You're not going to sing the song you were going to.
However, you sang one song in the Theatre Round.
[Manasi performing in Theatre Round]
'Whoa!'
'Aa Zara.' Will you sing that song?
- Sure. - What!
Oh!
Come on.
Yes.
[applause]
[Manasi vocalising]
[music playing]
[Manasi performing]
Wow!
[Manasi vocalising]
[Manasi concludes]
[Vishal] Come on!
Come on!
Whoa!
[whooping]
[cheer and applause]
- Wow. - [Vishal laughs]
Wow.
[laughter]
Well, Badshah said, "Wow."
I will also say it was wow
because it was a fantastic performance.
And I love your voice.
It's a little different.
It's a little raspy and deep.
I loved it and I love you.
Thank you so much, ma'am. Thanks a lot.
Thank you.
- In which round did you sing it the first time? - Theatre Round.
- Theatre Round! - Yes, sir.
That was potential.
- This is the realisation of that potential. - Wow.
When that potential turns...
I mean, this is when an artist's potential shines through.
Really incredible. Incredible.
Thank you so much, sir. Thank you.
The girl Manasi that came in the Theatre Round
was just a spark
- and she has turned into a complete firework now. - Yes.
She is now exploding.
She is ready to set the stage...
Global stage on fire.
Extraordinary! Mind-blowing! Fantabulous!
It was rocking!
Thank you so much, ma'am.
- Ms. Neelam, I remember you hosting The Neelam Show. - Ah!
- You've inspired me. - In 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'.
- In 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'. Yes. - Yes.
That was fab thing.
You've inspired me to host
The Manasi Show.
Yo! You're watching The Manasi Show!
I'll say a word,
and you'll have two seconds...
- Just two seconds? - Yes.
You must answer within two seconds.
- I'll play this game with everyone. - Oh!
- I'm ready. - I'm coming.
- Are we also participating? - Yes!
- Oh, no. - I'm going to start with you.
No, no! Don't do that. Please start with Shreya.
- Um, no. - It will go viral.
No, it's you.
- So... - [audience cheering, applauding]
Woo-hoo!
- Ready? - Woo-hoo!
Reality show.
Uh, Idol.
Ah! Love...
Idol!
- Boom! Boom! Boom! I win this game! - Oh, no!
[audience cheering, applauding]
- Badshah. - Yes.
- Ready? - Yes.
Idol!
Indian!
- Rival. - What? "Rival?"
Rival, as in rivalry.
[intriguing music plays]
You have two seconds.
I have the answer.
- All of us know it. - "No one can compete with me. Just let it be."
Aha!
Tara Sutaria.
[song playing]
Tara Sutaria.
Uh... Huh!
Huh?
Phantom of the Opera.
"Phantom of the Opera!"
You gave me just two seconds, so I blurted out whatever I could recall.
- I hope you don't remember a rival. - No.
- Manasi, well done! - Bravo! My God!
Okay!
An easy one for you. Anger.
Two seconds. Anger!
Never!
Dream...
Uh, an open buffet...
- Oh! - An open buffet!
[song playing]
- Huh! Huh! - An open buffet in...
No. It should be a great place. Uh-uh.
I don't have dreams. All my dreams are fulfilled.
- That's a good one. - Honestly.
All my dreams are fulfilled. Fulfilled!
- Cricketers. - Virat.
- And... - Sachin!
Yay!
- Dhoni! - Yes.
Dada Sourav Ganguly.
That's it. I won't accept more names.
- Rahul Dravid! Please... - Okay.
- Shall I take more names? - No, it's fine.
Fake!
Fake.
- I can't take that name. - Please tell us.
[guffawing]
I've been trapped. I quit!
[guffawing]
Huh!
- Ma'am. - Come on!
Chunky Panday.
Full-on passing the time.
"Full-on passing the time.!"
He always makes me laugh.
Govinda.
"Govinda." Um...
Full-on competition, and he is
the most versatile actor.
Salman Khan.
He is absolutely explosive.
Samir Soni.
Aw. "Samir Soni..." My one and only. My heart.
[audience cheering, applauding]
- And last but not least. - Aw!
Badshah.
"Badshah!"
Obviously, 'Jugnu'!
[audience cheering, applauding]
Obviously!
Last time, we played that game, and I won.
You cheated, though.
- Okay, I admit. I cheated. - Look!
- I did cheat. - Right.
'In this game, I'll tell you a song.'
'You must help your team guess the song by drawing it.'
'Oh my God!'
'- The countdown begins! - Go for it!'
'You have just seven seconds.'
'- Quick! Quick! Quick! - Jugnu!'
'- Yay! - Jugnu!'
'- Yes! - Jugnu!'
'How could you guess from this that the song was 'Jugnu'?'
- She must be punished. - She will be punished.
The punishment is that we all have to perform the 'Jugnu' dance step.
- Yes! - [audience cheering, applauding]
[song playing]
[background music]
- Well done. - Yay!
Wild!
This moment is the second-most remarkable moment for me.
The most remarkable moment was when we danced to 'Hiwda Mein Nache Mor'.
- 'Hiwda Mein'... That was my song. - Legendary!
[song playing]
SG, Subhajit has gone crazy since becoming a finalist.
[comical music playing]
- He was saying this while feeding omelette to hens yesterday. - Huh.
"Please don't hesitate.
It is prepared with your eggs."
[song playing]
Ew!
Oh, God!
He was telling Chaitanya,
"Vishu grew up to be an artist
because he could never be a 'bal kalakar'."
[laughing]
Before Vishu, the creator of the 'Bang Bang' song,
beats me black and blue along with his gang,
let me present the Idol 'paan' seller
and finalist, Subhajit Chakraborty.
[audience cheering, applauding]
It's getting worse every time.
[cackling]
[Subhajit vocalising]
Well done. Come on!
[musical instruments playing]
[Subhajit singing a song]
Wonderful!
Aha!
[choir singing a song]
[Subhajit whistling]
Whoa!
- Bravo! - Wow!
[Subhajit singing a song]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
Lovely!
Killing it! Killing it!
[chorus]
[singing]
Beautiful!
[singing]
Lovely!
[singing]
That is impressive. Nice!
That was...
[singing]
[cheering]
Beautiful!
Wow! Lovely!
Amazing!
- Lovely! - So... Such incredible notes!
- First note! - Always from the beginning.
- That... - Yes.
- There was a blend of folk. New voice. - Yes.
- New voice. - Amazing!
Brilliant! It was impressive.
Oh my! Shubho!
You showcased three distinct personalities in this song.
You sang 'Chand Sifarish' with such a smooth and beautiful voice.
The first note was simply divine.
[singing]
Shaan sang that part. So beautiful.
Subhaan Allah' part is Kailash Kher. There is a tonal change.
[singing]
The upper octave shifts seamlessly in an instant!
[singing]
It's really tough to finish there
while understanding the essence of the song,
but you nailed it perfectly and captured 'Subhaan Allah' flawlessly.
And it was bang on!
And then you brought a new colour of Bengali folk.
[singing]
[speaking Bengali]
- It's a popular Bengali folk. - What does it mean?
- It means, I beg you,
please bring a wife for me from a fair.
[laughing]
- So be it! - Let it be fulfilled!
You are in the Top 3.
[cheering]
- Amazing! - Thank you so much, sir.
Shubhu, my mom has been watching Indian Idol every week.
And it's upsetting
that there will be a finale.
And also, you are one of her favourite contestants.
And I am so happy that I am here for the pre-finale.
Because it feels like every contestant
is enjoying themselves
and we are enjoying ourselves too. So, I am happy to be here.
[applauding]
[singing]
Subhajit, time to feel us.
- I forgot! Betel leaf. - What do we say?
- I think... - Yes.
Since Neelam... You know we are big fans.
But especially the boys.
I thought that you should do something today.
Present a betel leaf, the one who guesses...
With your permission.
They will get a chance to dance with you.
[cheering]
[applauding]
Vishal, you go first.
- Wow! - Lovely!
- This is... - I know it.
- Ah, I remember. - I know it.
"This is Krishnan Iyer M.A."
- Yes. - Have you watched Agneepath? Am I right?
- Agneepath! Correct! - The right answer.
Vishal is going to turn his jacket into a 'lungi'.
Oh my God!
Wow!
No!
Not here.
Wow!
Oh!
[applause and cheer]
Oh my God!
- Tell us, Subhajit. - It's your turn now.
- Oh, my turn. - You have to guess the second one.
- This one? Number two. - Yes.
One! Two! Three!
- What is this? - What is this?
Is it a 'dhoti' or a towel? It's a towel.
- This can't be a skirt. A pink towel. - I know which one.
- A pink towel. - Yes.
Shubho, Adi and Badhshah,
prove that you are a bigger fan than Vishal.
[singing]
Very good!
[cheering]
[laughing]
[song playing]
No!
Okay!
No!
Wow!
And scene.
The annoying role that was meant for me, you took it away!
You turned me into the coconut guy!
The last one is for sir.
- Oh! - Oh!
This is easy.
- This is an easy one. - This is easy.
Um, 'Tip tip barish shuru ho gayi'.
- 'Mane ya na mane, tu meri ho gayi.' That one. - Whoa!
[amusing music playing]
I have an idea.
All three will dance to the last song.
Wow! We'll get this golden opportunity again!
[guffawing]
[song playing]
[party poppers blasting]
Wow!
[audience cheering, applauding]
All four danced so well
for the first time this season.
They only improved during the finale. The credit goes to you.
You taught them how to dance well. You're truly an inspiration to them.
Fabulous! I'm proud of you, boys. Well done!
[audience cheering, applauding]
Judges, our lovelorn singer,
Priyangshu dodged this heartless world
and called the love of his life, Myscmme.
Let me share their lovey-dovey conversation over the phone
with you.
- On the count of... - But why? That's private.
Three... Two...
- Creepy, man. How could you? - One.
- [mobile phone ringing] - 'My Love Myscmme Baby'.
The spelling is correct.
He is her brother.
[guffawing]
'The customer you've called'
'has blocked you for a lifetime.'
[guffawing]
'Please don't try to call her again.'
'Get lost.'
- What? - "Get lost!"
[beeping]
- Ouch! - Oh, no!
Gosh!
Oh, no! Huh!
"I'm pining for your love!"
[laughing]
"I missed you and spent my night"
- "counting the stars!" - "Counting the stars!"
"I'm crying"
"inconsolably now!"
[mock crying]
After getting blocked by Myscmme, he is coming to rock India.
The voice with a feel in the world of reels.
Finalist, Priyangshu Dutta.
[song playing]
- Priyangshu, all the best. - Thank you.
How are you, Priyangshu?
- All okay? - Yes, ma'am.
Please move your hair aside. I can't see your eyes.
Ah!
I thought your eyes must be swollen since you've been crying.
- So, you hid them. - No, ma'am. They are fine.
Please don't be disheartened.
If you're really disheartened, I have a request.
For me, your best performance,
which took my breath away,
was your audition.
You sung "O Bedardeya".
[Priyangshu singing a song]
'I didn't know why I was crying.'
'Whenever this happens, I feel elated.'
'He is the winner of Indian Idol this season.'
I request that you sing "O Bedardeya" once again.
Okay, ma'am.
[audience cheering, applauding]
[Priyangshu singing a song]
Wonderful!
[Priyangshu singing a song]
[Priyangshu continues singing a song]
[Priyangshu vocalising]
[Priyangshu singing a song]
Wow!
[Priyangshu vocalising]
Woo-hoo!
[Priyangshu singing a song]
[Priyangshu vocalising]
Woo-hoo!
[audience cheering, applauding]
Priyangshu, your voice carries intense pain.
It becomes difficult for you to control it.
It is full of emotions.
You sang wonderfully.
If this song isn't sung with this much pain,
it can't be truly justified.
Thank you so much.
Undoubtedly, you sang with the same intensity of pain.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
Anyone who has experienced a heartbreak
or lost their first love
will relate to your voice and singing.
You are that new-generation voice...
Thank you so much, ma'am.
- That the world is looking for. - Thank you so much, ma'am.
[audience cheering, applauding]
You introduced a delicate touch at the end.
You made me feel exactly the way one feels
after a heartbreak.
I truly felt it. You were mesmerising.
- Thank you. - Even if you had sung just the last four soft lines,
that would have been enough. You'd still get a standing ovation.
We search for human emotions.
And that felt honest. I enjoyed your performance.
- I really felt that. - Thank you so much.
It was a beautiful performance.
It's a beautiful song.
I got goosebumps.
- I think each one is a winner for me. - Absolutely.
- Absolutely. - Because...
It's tough
to choose just one person as the winner.
Everyone is a winner to me.
Wishing you all the best.
All of you are spectacular singers. I mean it.
- Thank you so much, ma'am. - And by the way,
I'm missing Myscmme.
Are you?
- Yes, ma'am. - Okay.
[laughing]
- Thank you, Priyangshu. - Thank you.
[audience cheering, applauding]
- Shreya. - Yes, ma'am.
I have a request.
I want to hear you sing this song live.
'Jadu Hai Nasha Hai'.
- Ah! - Please!
- Yes! - It's one of my favourite songs!
[audience cheering, applauding]
- It will be my honour. - Thank you!
[audience applauding]
[Shreya singing a song]
Woo-hoo!
[Shreya singing a song]
- Woo-hoo! - Wow!
[audience cheering, applauding]
Thank you!
This season was undoubtedly a competition.
However, it was also about music
and friendship.
That's how I'd define this season.
- Yes. - Yes!
Judges, a special person would like to
speak about our next finalist, Sneha.
Whoa!
Hello!
All the contestants in Indian Idol are brilliant, but
Sneha Shankar is an amazing artist.
[applause and cheer]
She is full of depth, aesthetics and musical knowledge.
She is a pride of our country.
So, I wish her all the very best.
Congratulations to all the contestants.
But my best wishes to Sneha Shankar.
[applause]
I am aware
that she has won hearts worldwide, not just in India.
So, I wish her all the very best and may God bless her.
- Yes! - Wow!
- Really? - Impressive.
Aesthetic!
- Huh? - Lovely!
- Aesthetic! Very good. - Amazing!
Sneha,
you have Mr. Shankar's blessings.
There is nothing above that.
He is the pride of our nation.
He is an artist who has sung everything
and done it all.
Yet he keeps going

He is so effortless and such a genius.
He is praising you.
I am so happy.
I am so proud of you.

[vocalisation]
[singing]
[applause and cheer]
What a song!
[Badshah singing]
This song is dear to me.
We put in a lot of effort back then to perfect this song
and you sang effortlessly.
[applauding]
I don't know what to say.
The way you expressed yourself at the end,
that one note just pulled my heart out and threw it away!
This isn't just a song, it's pure emotion.
This is the soul. It is the truth.
Feel the song.
There is a dialogue in this film,
'It's a big animal, it won't get trapped in your small cage.'
That is what you are.
Thank you so much, sir.
A big hand
and a respectful bow to Vishal and Shekhar.
Oh my God!
We are lucky to be in your era.
This is your time, and the future belongs to you and everyone
present here.
Amazing!
But, Sneha, you are a beast.
You are an animal that cannot be put in a small cage.
You are...
Dream big and achieve them, that's what Sneha Shankar is.
- Thank you so much. - Oh my God!
I am just in love with you. What to do?
Do something. Is there a medicine for it?
- Thank you so much, Shreya. - You are too good.
Too good!
[applause]
What is your number?
[laughing]
Thank you!
I cannot sing. I am a bathroom singer.
Will you teach me how to sing?
Because you are just amazing!
- Wow! - Today what you sang...
I mean, I am speechless.
Will you teach me to sing?
- Say 'yes', please! - Yes, ma'am.
It is going to be an honour.
What else do I say now?
- Thank you so much. Really means a lot. - Thank you.
[applauding]
Everyone knows who I would declare the winner if it were up to me.
I don't know...
That's my comment.
Your platinum mic is standing there.
One of my biggest accomplishments is that
I handed her a platinum mic.
True!
Thank you so much!
[applauding]
[applause and cheer]
[singing]
[applause and cheer]
Thank you so much!
