[song playing]
- Ganpati Bappa, Morya! - Morya! Let's go!
Srinidhi, don't be scared.
I believe
you will go inside and do a good job.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, wow!
Greetings, sir. Greetings, ma'am.
- Greetings. - You look great.
- This is the first time someone has come in a dhoti, right? - I love it.
This is a perfect celebration of India.
What is your name?
Srinidhi Shastri.
- Where are you from? - Where are you from?
I am from Bangalore, sir.
You are from Bangalore. Have you learnt Carnatic or Indian music?
- I have learnt Carnatic, ma'am. - Carnatic.
- How old are you? - I am 22, sir.
Wow!
What will you sing?
'Sun Ri Sakhi', ma'am.
'Sun Ri Sakhi' is a very beautiful song.
So I am hoping and rooting for you.
Please sing very well.
- Then we will talk. - Thank you, ma'am.
'Keys!'
He will sing well.
How are you? What is this?
What did you just do?
- Sir, this is... - This is Lord Hanuman, right?
My Guru gifted this to me, sir.
- So you are a devotee of Lord Hanuman? - Yes.
- Is there Rudraksha, too? - Yes, sir. Rudraksha is there too.
It just helps me to concentrate.
How is your breathing now? Is it fast or slow?
- Breathing fast, sir. - Okay. Breathe.
I asked Mr Dhoni once
how he stays calm.
He said, I will not tell you much. Just breathe slowly.
- Normal situation. All the best. - Thank you, sir.
Did you teach him?
We just decided what you were talking about there.
- What? - He is going to sing...
[singing]
I thought you were making fun of me.
[music playing]
[singing]
Superb!
Wow!
[music playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
Recording voice!
Oh, wow!
[crowd cheering]
Thank you so much. Thank you, ma'am.
- Srinidhi. - Yes, ma'am.
In today's performance, I was listening to very subtle things.
I really liked the part where you...
[vocalising]
This part is in micro tones.
Because you are singing the Carnatic part
in a flattened sound, right?
It is very difficult to sing.
You sang it beautifully.
Whenever you were singing, I was appreciating it.
You sang it very beautifully. All the things were very good.
- Thank you, ma'am. - It's a yes from me.
Thank you so much, ma'am. It means a lot.
Srinidhi, you did not warm up before coming, right?
I did not do what I do every day, sir.
I will tell you. Because your low notes were sharp.
Your high notes were flat.
No music. This is definite.
The only thing is, your voice was not warm.
- I mean, you have it. - Yes, sir.
Do not take it lightly. Okay?
I think you are moving forward. Good luck, brother.
Mr Shastri, your problem is that
- you think a lot. - Yes, sir.
Everybody tries to keep themselves
in a safe space. People do a lot of things.
But the fun is outside the safe space.
Do not think. The thousand things going on in your mind
were stopping you from singing. That's it. Okay?
It is a yes from my side.
Thank you, sir. It means a lot, sir.
Come and take it.
Come on, baby! Let's go!
[applause]
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, sir.
-He is the chart of an ideal child. - The chart of an ideal child.
- He is a good boy. - And where did he come?
He has come in front of so many ideal people.
He should know our ideals.
Finally, I have been selected. I got the golden ticket.
Thank you, Shreya ma'am, Vishal sir and Badshah sir.
I wish to say.
- Oh, wow! - Oh, wow!
Sir, listen to me carefully.
- Listen to him carefully. - Carefully!
Listen to me carefully.
For my care.
- Oh! - [laughter]
- You are sitting on a chair. - Wow!
- You look very good. - Okay!
Wow!
You steal everyone's heart with your good songs.
You have come wearing such white clothes.
I swear, you look like a PT teacher.
[song playing]
Deepankar!
If you can hear me, come inside.
Pink shirt. Guitar!
- [song playing] - Wow!
Shall I tell you something good about him?
Tell us!
What is your most unique and hidden talent?
Hidden?
- I flirt well. - What?
Flirt well?
How do we believe it? People call me a good artist.
[quirky music playing]
Prove it.
I wake up early in the morning
and practise.
[vocalising]
Okay.
- Yes. You can say 'Ni Sa'. - Say 'Ni Sa'.
No, ma'am. How can I say another girl's name when you are here?
[laughter]
But I want to say,
it's not 'Sha', it's 'Sa'.
'It's not 'Sha', it's 'Sa'.'
I feel bad for him, bro!
Were you going to say Nisha?
Or Ni Sa?
[laughter]
Listen,
I am feeling shy.
I am melting, too.
Tell me what is going on between these two?
Please don't kill the vibe.
- Sorry! - I am being flirted with by someone.
- Yes! - [laughter]
Now, please sing something, Deepankar.
[music playing]
[singing]
One second.
Deepankar, the way you tried to flirt with me,
I felt that was cute.
But you will have to flirt with the notes as well.
You have to work hard to win the hearts
of the notes too.
If you come prepared, it will be even better.
So for this time, it's a no from me.
Work a little harder, yeah?
- It's a no from me. - And me, sorry.
- Thank you, Deepankar. All the best. - Thank you.
[door opens]
Oh, wow...
Hello, sir. Hello, ma'am.
- Hello, sir. - Hello.
[chuckles]
Interesting! Your hair has changed, your beard has grown.
He has been our very famous contestant.
He's doing really well for himself. He's Danish's brother.
- Tabish, right? - Yes, sir.
Tabish has been
to Idol before. So he came and sang.
He sang well, and we said, okay.
Good luck. 'Good luck, brother. Thank you.'
'Tabish, this way.'
As he was leaving, he hummed something.
[humming]
- Which was so mind-blowing. - Oh!
'Tabish!'
- 'Come back. - What were you doing?'
'What did you just do?'
That we stopped him, which was genuine.
We stopped him and asked him to come back.
'This has never happened before.'
He sang very well.
And the whole world said it was rigged because of you.
Oh!
Sir, my mom also asked me, Son, was that scripted?
- [chuckles] - At least tell me.
I said, No, mom, it was all genuine. I had sung badly before.
Is your name Tabish?
Sir, my name is Tabish Ali. I'm from Muzaffarnagar, UP.
- And I'm 22 years old. - Wow, man!
- You're Danish's brother. - Yes, ma'am.
But right now, you're Tabish.
Ma'am, I've come to change this.
So that people don't call me Danish's brother.
In the beginning, I really enjoyed it.
Being called Danish's brother was a proud moment.
But after some time,
this backfires.
Because I've been hearing since childhood
that Tabish is a bright student.
When I used to go to school, and I used to sing,
I used to come first.
But on
5th December, 2020, my brother gave an audition here.
And he got famous.
He got a lot of love, fame, and respect.
[singing]
After that, everything changed.
After that, I changed from Tabish Ali
to Mohd Danish's brother.
That's what I've come here to change. Because the platform
that made Mohd Danish,
that platform
will take me from Mohd Danish's brother
to Tabish Ali.
May be it so, my brother. I hope it happens for you.
- Thank you so much, sir. - What are you doing today?
Sir, 'Ishq Di Baajiyaan'.
It's a beautiful song. Very underrated.
[music playing]
[singing]
He could go anywhere.
[music playing]
[applause]
Tabish, you won my heart.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
You've sung beautifully.
- Thank you so much, ma'am. - At one point, you were
a little scared when you transitioned.
[singing]
That fear is normal.
That part is tricky. No matter how many times you've come there,
no matter how many trials you've done, it happens.
- But for me, it's a yes. - Thank you so much, ma'am.
If you've worked hard,
it will shine in your singing with confidence. Do you get it?
God will give the verdict, not us.
- Okay? - Yes, sir.
For me, it's a yes, because...
- Thank you, sir. - Because you sing well.
Thank you so much, sir.
You sang so well. I really hope
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy watches this performance.
I'm so proud of you. I welcome you to the next round, my brother.
Thank you so much, sir.
Tabish is Tabish and nobody, but Tabish.
Come on, take the ticket.
Thank you so much, sir.
[crowd cheering]
- Hey! - Mr Vishal, Ms Shreya.
Sir, this is amazing.
So, listen. I have a demand, a request.
Obviously, you know about our season.
- Hashtag, Playlist of Memories. So, I have one request. - Yes!
Oh, yes!
Mr Udit is one of my favourites, sir.
'Aye Mere Humsafar' if you and Shreya sing, it will be a blast.
Mr Udit is in all the playlists of my memories.
[singing]
Wow!
So lucky.
This is my favourite song. I'm singing it for the first time.
And that too with Mr Udit.
I love this song.
Too good!
Why not try playback singing?
[laughter]
Isn't Mr Badshah here? I don't know where he is.
[door opens]
There he comes. Wow!
[chuckles]
Hello, sir. Hello, ma'am.
Hello.
What is your name?
My name is Arfin Rana.
Arfin Rana.
Your name is very unique.
My dad gave me the name Arfin.
And I got the name Rana from my mom.
Because in my family, my dad is a Muslim.
And my mom is a Hindu.
[music playing]
In our house, my mom performs her prayers.
And my dad performs his prayers.
Wow! So nice!
In my house, on Chaturthi, we offer 'prasad' to Lord Ganesha.
On Eid, we remember Allah. On Ramzan, we make 'Sheer Khurma'.
[song playing]
On Tuesdays,
I go to the temple with my mom to offer prayers.
And on Fridays, I go with my dad to offer prayers.
I still haven't been able to choose.
All religions feel equally beautiful to me.
Wow!
An artist has no language, no casteism,
- no boundaries. - Wow! Amazing!
- That's great, Mr Udit. - Thank you so much, sir.
Where did your music come from,
mom or dad?
Sir, from both. My mom used to sing Rabindra Sangeet.
And my dad sings folk.
He still teaches at home.
So, I got it from both.
After that, I have learnt from
my guruji, Ustad Rashid Khan.
- Oh, wow! - I have learnt from him.
Ustad Rashid Khan is your teacher.
So, we should listen to you first.
- Right? - Yeah!
- All the best. - Thank you so much, ma'am.
Good luck, Arfin.
[music playing]
[singing]
Not bad!
Wow!
Awesome!
Wow!
[applause]
- Thank you so much, ma'am. - Wow!
Whoa!
Praises are coming from my heart.
Thank you so much, ma'am. Thank you so much.
- It was a lot of fun. - Thank you so much.
So refreshing this is.
Best audition of the day.
[clapping]
There is one thing in which there is no religion or status,
and that is music.
[clapping]
Very proud of you, brother.
Thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much.
Sir.
We looked at each other a lot of times and praised you.
Arvind, you did so well.
They are Mr Rafi's songs, and they are amazing.
The grace and the style with which you sang,
- it was very good. - Thank you so much, sir.
- Please come here, Arvind. - Come on, buddy.
[song playing]
[singing]
Wow.
Amazing.
[singing]
Oh, sir.
She went on a different mode.
[laughing]
Next contestant, please come.
[door opens]
Hmm.
Hello, sir. Hello, ma'am.
- Hello. - Tell us about yourself. What's your name?
Sir, my name is Anshika Sameer Sonkar.
- Where are you from? - Dombivli, Mumbai.
[train moving]
Do you know Dombivli?
- Have you been there? - I have heard of a movie called Dombivli.
But where is it?
Bombay.
- But where? - Dombivli.
[comical music playing]
He doesn't even know where we are right now.
- What place is this? - Bombay.
Where in Bombay?
I...
Where are we?
It's all right.
Anshika.
Where are we?
He is from Chandigarh, actually.
Now, I understand where Dombivli is. Tell him in Marathi.
[speaking in Marathi]
Just one train comes from Dombivli.
- Right? - Yes, sir.
Then you came from Colaba by taxi.
Sir, I came to Colaba from CST. This is Colaba.
Oh, this is Colaba.
[laughing]
- She came to Colaba from CST. - Yes, sir.
- We are in Colaba. - Very good.
In Marathi, tell her how she can go back.
Yeah.
[speaking in Marathi]
Well, why do we have to send her back?
- She would go home. - Let her sing.
We'll talk about trains later.
- Please sing first. - Yeah, sorry.
- Sorry. - Anshika. - Yes, ma'am.
[speaking in Marathi]
[music playing]
[singing]
Wow.
[singing]
[cheering]
Fab.
Hey.
[singing]
Wow.
[singing]
Come on.
I love it.
Amazing.
Wow.
[singing]
Wow... Yeah!
[cheering]
Wow.
- Come on. - No?
[singing]
- Really? - Oh my god.
Will you tell us now?
[laughing]
No, sir.
It just came out.
- Outstanding. - Thank you so much.
Amazing.
- What do we do? - We don't have it.
There are a few. Let's give her a few.
[clapping]
Anshika, you are a star.
Thank you so much, sir.
I mean it was very smooth.
- This is my dialogue. - I have never heard such a thing.
Oh my god. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Oh...
I mean, when you came...
Of course, you are dressed very beautifully.
This is not me. My mom selects all my outfits.
My mom did all of this.
- So, mom? - Mom is at the back.
Call her.
- It's your mom's vision. - Yes.
Yes.
Listen. What a voice she's got!
Oh my god.
- I'm feeling hungry. - Right?
I burned a lot of calories while hearing it.
[mellow music playing]
Hmm!
- Mom? - Yes. Mom.
- Mom, right? - Yes.
Sister?
[laughing]
Mom, she gives the credit for her look to you.
- Yes. - Well, she doesn't need it.
That's what I tell my mom,
but mom is always like,
"You should act a bit like a girl."
"Wear nice clothes."
"You should go to a nice place wearing nice clothes."
Very good. This voice is a recordable voice.
- Hundred per cent. - Hundred per cent.
100 per cent.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
This is one of the finest performances on TV.
Thank you so much, sir. Thank you.
I'm so angry at you right now,
and all of us,
because we don't have the platinum mic.
[tense music playing]
Shreya, this is our show.
- Yeah. - We are the judges.
- We can do anything. - We can do anything.
Shall we do it?
- Yeah. - Shall we? - Is it allowed?
Is it allowed?
Come on. Come here.
Come on, Anshika.
Direct... Direct!
It is a big moment.
You go there.
[mellow music playing]
It was the rule that there would be only three platinum mics.
Rules have been broken because of you.
This is the first time in history
where we have the fourth platinum mic
because we had no other option.
You were that good. I'm still getting goosebumps.
Sir, I am feeling it too.
But this is my platinum mic.
It's my platinum mic.
- No. - I said it.
- No... - Yeah, I said it.
I said it.
Who said it, Anshika?
Sir said it.
What?
Listen. I said that I'm so angry at you, Anshika.
- Yes. - Because I didn't have the platinum mic.
So I said that we are the judges and we will break the rule.
I said that we will break it.
So, it was my idea.
Anshika, this platinum mic is from me.
- Yes, ma'am. Thank you so much. - Fine. I give it to you.
She came in between.
We give it to you.
Okay, fine. It's Shreya's mic.
We have her.
You are directly going to the Top 15.
[cheering]
That's incredible. Congratulations.
Thank you so much, sir.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
[mellow music playing]
[door opens]
- Hello, ma'am. Hello, sir. - Hello.
Hello.
Hi. What is your name?
Sankalp.
Sankalp. Full name.
- Sankalp Yeduvanshi. - I know...
There was a kid named Sankalp Yeduvanshi in Indian Idol Junior.
That's me.
Mind-blowing, brother. Mind-blowing.
- Welcome back. - No.
[drums playing]
How did you become so thin?
'I don't know. My parents might know about it.'
Sankalp.
I remember your dad used to always be with you.
In all your performances.
Yeah.
[singing]
You will perform alone today.
- No, my mom has come with me. - Okay.
Did your dad not come?
No, my dad didn't come.
Actually, we don't live together.
One year after Junior, we got separated from our father.
So, he got married again.
We've been living separately since then.
[song playing]
That journey was a bit difficult for me.
Not just for me, but for my mom too.
That's because he said a few things to me
which I never thought that I would hear from him.
When we met the last time,
he said that I am not his son.
So, I just got
totally hit.
I felt something break inside me.
I used to remain very upset after that.
In fact, I did a lot of things
like smoking and drinking.
I got into some bad company.
I couldn't stop myself, and it just continued.
[sombre music playing]
Things got so bad that it started affecting my throat.
Were you singing during that time, or did you leave it?
No, I was totally off from music.
I didn't sing or hear it.
What changed for you to come here?
Uh...
The situation got so bad
that I couldn't even speak properly.
When we consulted the doctor,
he said that I won't be able to sing.
It's very difficult to recover from this.
That's when it hit me that this shouldn't happen.
That's because my mom never gave up on me when we lived separately.
So, how can I give up on myself?
[sombre music playing]
It was my mother's dream.
It is still my mother's dream for me to become a singer.
So, it should be fulfilled, no matter how.
[song playing]
Sankalp, is your mom here?
- Yes, she is here. - Please call her.
Mom.
[sombre music playing]
Hi.
Hello.
Come here.
How are you?
I'm good.
Your son is very brave.
There's no doubt about it.
[song playing]
But you are the strength behind his bravery.
So, it feels great to meet you.
Was it your decision to come here?
Or did he do it by himself?
No, it was his decision.
He wanted to go and give the audition.
He said he can face it.
My support is always with him.
Do it bravely.
If you think you can do it, then go ahead. You should do it.
There should be no fear.
It's fine. We can't hope to win if we don't have the courage to fight.
So, one has to fight.
[song playing]
Sangeeta, I feel very inspired after meeting you.
And Sankalp...
Yes, ma'am.
You are very lucky to have a mom like her.
- Yeah, ma'am. - I am very lucky to have a son like her.
Wow.
We can him Kanha at home.
May the Lord's blessings be with you.
He will direct you to the right path.
You have taken the initiative
that you will follow the right path.
I have tried it.
Sankalp, that's a big thing.
This step of competing on Indian Idol,
turn it into a fuel.
Definitely, sir.
- Sure. - Come on.
Sing well.
Yes, ma'am. Of course.
Be happy.
Please check the mic once.
Hello. Check.
[mellow music playing]
[singing]
[music playing]
[singing]
[clapping]
Woah.
I was listening to this performance while looking at your mom.
There's so much love and innocence on your face.
She had a beautiful smile on her face throughout your performance.
I can't tell you. I was stopping myself.
A mother suffers a lot.
When she has seen a lot in her life,
you are a reason for her to live.
It's very important for you to become a good man.
Yes, ma'am.
I genuinely feel for you.
I adore you a lot.
You are so strong. You have a glow on your face.
You must have definitely suffered a lot in your life.
I won't call it suffering.
I would call it the rule of nature.
How would you become something else if you don't break?
[sombre music playing]
It rains when the clouds burst.
So, people feel a lot at ease.
So, I haven't suffered.
It had to happen.
[sombre music playing]
You said a wonderful thing.
You are a very cool mom.
- Sankalp, I'll come to you now. - Yes, ma'am.
There's been a change from Junior Sankalp to Senior Sankalp,
but you haven't lost the beauty of your voice.
- I liked that a lot. - Thank you, ma'am.
I just feel like you have to play with the notes a bit.
You sang a song just now.
[singing]
- There are a lot of jumping notes. - Yes, ma'am.
It's very important to be precise with those jumping notes.
Did that happen?
[tense music playing]
No. It didn't fully happen.
But I'm still not losing hope in you.
The one who understands the precision of the notes,
that person is called a maestro.
The one who gets up after falling
is called a winner.
That's what I will say.
Our winner is over there.
He hasn't said anything since Sankalp came on stage.
No. That's because...
First of all, I want you to know that I am very proud of you.
Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.
If someone disowns you,
then it's that person's loss, not yours. Okay?
If you are accepting the music with passion,
then I think it's my duty to stand with you. Okay?
You should definitely get another chance.
Just kill it in the next round.
- Definitely, sir. - Come and get the ticket.
Sir, this ticket will go to my mother, not me.
I'll be happier giving it to her.
[song playing]
Thank you, ma'am.
Listen, brother, what I just said
isn't out of sympathy. Okay?
This is for you. You deserve it.
Your voice is good, put your energy behind it. Believe that.
- Good luck. - Thank you, sir.
[song playing]
Please come, sir.
- Greetings, sir. - Greetings!
- Greetings. - Greetings, sir.
Greetings!
My name is Prabir Mandal.
- What will you sing? - 'Ae Ajnabi'.
Practice the notes?
- Yes, sure. I want to check. - Yes, go ahead.
[vocalising]
[singing]
You have started, right?
Sir,
there is a pigeon over there
that has been bothering us for the past three days.
If you see it anywhere, let us know.
[singing]
- [singing] - There it is.
[laughter]
Sir, it takes
- so much courage to do this. - Thank you, sir.
How did you gather the courage, and why?
[laughter]
This is the blessing of God.
And your love.
Mr Prabir,
you are very cute.
Thank you.
But who were you
singing for? I am not clear.
Why is it up there?
I don't know, I mean...
It happens automatically.
- The eyes go up? - Yes.
You are doing very well.
- Thank you, sir. - If you allow us, can we go home?
Tell me, sir, and I'll go home. I've been here long enough.
Sir, come on.
Sir, you're a popular person...
- I was kidding. - Thank you.
Guys, please make some noise for the Desi Boys.
- [applause] - Thank you, sir.
[singing]
Shall we go for dumb charades now?
Wherever the next contestant is coming from,
you'll tell me first.
- Yes. - Yes, why not? Come on!
Hey, come on!
Current shock?
Mind-blowing.
Do it again.
I'm a friend of the devil!
- Come on! - Bala. Bala.
- Bala? Ambala? - No!
- Ambala! - Ambala.
Oh, wow. That was amazing.
- Too good. - Bala, come.
Your dance was quite Oscar-worthy.
Not Oscar, it must be said enough.
Come on, guys.
- Hello, sir. How are you? - Hi.
My name is Abhijeet Sharma. I'm 17 years old.
And what do you do for music?
Sir, I'm in 12th grade. I'm studying Arts.
And I'm a music topper.
You're learning music in college?
I got 99 per cent in music in 11th grade.
Wow!
What kind of music do you like?
Sir, I like old music.
Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar.
And I sing everything. From Bade Ghulam Ali Khan
to Anuv Jain and Karan Aujla.
It's a big range.
- Interesting! - What will you sing, Abhijeet?
- Sir, I'll sing Mohammad Rafi's 'Woh Jab Yaad Aaye'. - Okay.
[music playing]
[singing]
Wow!
[singing]
- I like his voice. - His voice is beautiful.
- He is singing nicely. - Look at the scale.
It's from the verse.
Wow!
Thank you.
[crowd cheering]
Thank you, sir.
How did you know I meant good?
Yes, sir.
Why did you say thank you like that?
- Sir, I'll thank you for whatever you do. - Wow!
Even if you point out my mistakes, it means a lot to me.
What a sweet thing to say, brother.
But your tonal quality is incredible.
- Thank you so much, sir. - You have
- an incredible voice, brother. - Thank you so much.
- I just love your vocal quality. - Thank you so much, ma'am.
You're only 17. Your voice has a beautiful texture.
You're a rising artist.
I see a very bright future for you.
Abhijeet, I have great hopes for you.
From my side, it's a yes.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
[applause]
You know what would be wonderful?
To see his journey. If he makes it.
And if he completes it,
in the 16th season of Indian Idol.
Vishal sir, from my side, it's also a yes.
Okay. What more could you want?
Vishal sir, your feedback, please.
I've already done it.
- Come on, buddy. - Thank you, sir.
Welcome to the theatre round!
Let's have the next one, please.
Wow, with the harmonium.
Good evening, ma'am, sir. My name is Kalyan Sai.
I am 28 years old.
Sir, this is a Hindi show.
- No, let him. He's speaking so well. - I am from Jaipur,
the capital of Rajasthan.
I am very happy to see you all today.
- We are very happy to see you. - Thank you, ma'am.
So tell me, how are you feeling?
I am nervous about the performance.
Are you prepared for this audition?
Ma'am, my English is over.
- It's over? - English is over?
Sir, actually, my daughter
teaches me English.
- So cute! - Wow!
It helps me a lot in my work.
She is the first girl in our family
to study in an English medium school.
Because in our society,
girls aren't allowed to study much.
They get married early and don't get the chance to study.
So I want my daughters to study a lot.
- They should become doctors, collectors. - Come on, buddy!
That's the spirit!
- How old are your daughters? - One is nine.
- The other is seven. - Very sweet!
I would love for your daughters
- to see your performance. - Sure, sir.
Would you like to make a video call?
- Yes, sir. - Please come, sir. We are eager to meet them.
- Hi! - How are you?
- Hi! - Hello, ma'am.
Hi!
- Please come here. - Hi!
So cute!
Please tell me their names.
She is Shivani, the elder one.
- This one? - No, the other one.
She is Shivani, and she is Simran.
- Shivani and Simran. - Shivani and Simran, how are you both?
Good!
So sweet!
Shivani and Simran, do you both speak English?
- Do you both speak English? - Yes.
Wow!
Don't scold dad.
- Hey! - How sweet!
I don't scold. Shreya scolds.
I don't scold. Tell Vishu.
He is very strict.
We won't scold him. Don't worry.
- Don't worry. - All the best, dad.
- Thank you. - You got the blessings! Be ready.
Good luck, brother. Enough, my brother! Please!
Cute!
Two things. One, it's amazing that such thoughts still exist.
Second, there are people fighting it.
People who are changing it. Amazing!
Sound!

[song continues]
Break the mindset
in your community
that girls shouldn't study. You are the only person doing this.
Many will learn by watching you.
[song playing]
You have to do it for them. Come to the theatre round.
We are with you.
I want you to move forward.
Because your progress is important for all of us, for this country.
Come on, Kalyan!
Take the golden ticket, bro!
[song playing]
I am very happy. I got the golden ticket today.
My dream is coming true.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello, sir.
- How are you? - I'm good.
What is your name? - Jayanti.
- Jayanti, let's go.

My glasses are all fogged up.
- Can't see, right? It's the best. - Next time, wear a wiper.
I think you rocked.
Rain and fire,
- both together. - Oh, wow!
You started singing, the rain started.
Your performance, your voice, even the song,
the whole vibe, it's beautiful. For me, you are in.
- Thank you so much. - That's a huge one!
Let's see you in the theatre round. You are through to the next round.
Thank you so much.
