'Four singers won the Platinum Mic'
'during Indian Idol 16 auditions'
'and made it to the Top 15.'
'Come on, son.'
'Anshika Chonkar'
'Today's the Theatre Round, the ultimate test.'
[theme song playing]
'The singers will compete for the remaining Platinum Mics'
'in Battle of the Best!'
[sweeping music playing]
[Badshah singing a song]
- Whoa! - Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!
Normally, films run in theatres,
but today we'll witness
a film full of dreams,
stress, memories, and hopes.
Whoa! Wonderful!
- Oh, my! - Let's see who wins the Platinum Mic
and creates a blockbuster hit!
So, let's begin
the Theatre Round of Indian Idol Season 16!
Enjoy!
Please come on stage!
"Group number one!"
Please come.
"Please come and sing a song."
Ankita, how are you?
I'm fine, sir.
How are you feeling
after reaching the Theatre Round?
I feel great.
[Ankita singing a song]
'She unlocked Yaadon Ki Playlist.'
'Oh, my! Well said.'
'You're sweet and adorable like a 'laddu','
'just like the quality of your voice.'
All the best!
Thank you so much.
[Vishal singing a song]
[Vishal continues singing]
[Ankita] Hello! Hello!
Hello! Hello!
[musical instruments playing]
[indistinct]
[Ankita singing a song]
Aha!
[Vishal imitating]
Nice!
[Badshah yodelling]
Aha!
- Ooh la la! - She's impressive.
It's good.
Ah!
[Badshah imitating]
[audience cheering, applauding]
Thank you so much.
- Bro! - Bro!
- Ankita. - Yes, ma'am.
I loved your performance.
Thank you so much.
- [Badshah] Yes! Awesome. - Your voice is invigorating.
- Thank you. - This song is sensuous and fun,
and equally difficult to sing.
"Hey! Come closer!"
This is difficult because it's full of drama.
[Ankita singing a song]
You are bang on about the feeling of the song.
- Bang on! - [Shreya] Yes.
- It should be enjoyable, and it was. - Exactly!
"Hey!"
"Come closer!"
Hey!
[laughter]
You'll be in the Top 15.
Thank you, ma'am! Thank you so much!
[inspirational song playing]
"Hey!"
"You've qualified"
"for the Top 15!"
- Thank you! - "Congratulations!"
"O, Ankita!"
[inspirational song playing]
Well done!
Indian Idol has finally turned you into the next Anu Malik.
"You're in the Top 15, O, Ankita!"
"Ankita!" [laughs]
Woo-hoo!
It rhymed well!
Thank you so much. Bye!
[Shreya] Hang on!
Will you simply walk away with a smile?
How do you feel?
I feel overjoyed.
[laughs]
That's too dull. I need more drama.
I'm ecstatic!
- Oh, yes! - Oh, yes!
Oh, yes!
Oh my God! I feel great!
- Good! - Thank you!
Please continue. I'll be back.
- Congratulations! You may go. - Congratulations!
- [Shreya] Bye! - Bye!
[upbeat music playing]
I think she was the first contestant in the history of Indian Idol
who began singing, "hey..."
while we were busy gossiping,
completely surprising us.
[chuckling]
Send the next batch, please.
[audience cheering, applauding]
Greetings!
Amritha.
Amritha, I love what you're wearing today. It looks cool.
I'm happy to see that you've continued wearing your lucky shoes.
[Badshah] Yes.
'They don't match, right?'
'- They look perfect. - Absolutely rugged.'
[Amritha singing a song]
'You're mad and mind-blowing.'
'I want you to be there'
'in every episode this season.'
'I won't understand if you speak so fast.'
'The people in Kerala pronounce "Q", "U", "E", "E", "N"'
'in a peculiar way.'
'They say, "Qyun".'
'Very 'qyun'.'
Actually, the other day,
you... Uh.
[laughter]
You appreciated my looks
- the other day. - Yes.
I was truly happy...
- Is she reading from her hand? - Yes, she doesn't know Hindi.
It was a magic moment for me.
- Okay. - Because I admire your styling
and I love you.
- So, when you said that... - How sweet!
I was... I felt
overjoyed.
I loved that.
What is written in your hand?
Actually, I... Um...
Uh.
- Yes. - Last time...
- Okay. - You were speaking so fast.
- Yes. - And I faced a problem
while speaking.
This is why
I wrote on my hands.
[Badshah cackling]
Oh, goodness!
- How did you write so much? - Mind-blowing.
- [Badshah] Wow! - You could have written here as well.
No, I don't want to speak so much.
[guffawing]
Good one!
Queen, go for it!
Sure.
[Amritha humming]
- I love her. I love her no matter what. - [Vishal] Yes.
[tapping]
- [Amritha singing a song] - Well sung!
Wonderful!
- [Amritha singing a song] - Whoa!
- [Shreya] Well sung! - Bravo!
Well done.
Fabulous!
Bravo!
Woo-hoo!
Well done!
[Badshah] Whoa!
- Awesome! - [Badshah] Aha!
I love it!
I'm taking her.
[Shreya] Woo-hoo!
Queen!
Thank you!
[Shreya] Oh, God!
[laughter]
- Yes. - It happens.
Yes, it's fine.
People should get the impression that you're a rock star.
Your hair should be dishevelled.
We heard the madness with which you sang today
yet again.
You wrote everything you said about me
on both your hands.
- Yes. - I want to see what you wrote.
No, no! I want to see it closely.
[laughter]
Mind-blowing!
Please read it again.
[mumbles]
[Shreya] Hang on.
I want to see that properly.
'Ms. Shreya,'
'I was overjoyed'
'when you appreciated my style...'
Hang on! Please speak on that mic.
- Please give her that mic. - Please speak now.
- [Vishal] Please speak. - [Badshah laughs]
Hold it. Now, speak.
[Shreya] Come on!
- Make some noise! - Make some noise!
[audience cheering, applauding]
'I've depended on others'
'for the decisions in my life.'
'I realised that everyone should be financially independent.'
'For that reason, I'm here.'
- Amritha. - Yes.
- Did you prepare a thank-you speech? - Yes.
- Could you please say it in Malayalam? - Please!
Before I came to Indian Idol,
it was just a thought.
One should enjoy the experience.
Don't try to impress. Just express yourself.
Oh, my!
- Try to connect, not to compete. - Ah.
- Enjoy and entertain everyone. - Right?
- That's enough for me. - Yes!
- I'm overjoyed. It's the best day of my life. - "Best"!
- Yes! - And I want to thank
the incredible Indian Idol team. Thank you so much! I'm so grateful!
- Woo-hoo! - Woo-hoo!
To my queen!
'Qyun'!
- Queen, rock and roll! - Congratulations!
[audience cheering, applauding]
[cackling]
Okay. Now the battle is on.
Her reaction was priceless.
"Huh?"
[song playing]
[laughs]
[Shreya] What?
- Oh my God! - He's not my child.
He isn't my son. Mind-blowing!
- [Shreya] Woo-hoo! - [Badshah] Ooh!
- I still dance like that. - [Shreya] Wow!
[Badshah] Oh, wow!
- Mind-blowing! - I love it!
Ooh!
Wow!
Ha-ha!
[song playing]
[Badshah] There's more!
- What? - [laughs]
What's going on?
Hey!
[laughs]
[Badshah] "Kadambari!"
Woo-hoo!
[Vishal] They're mind-blowing.
[Shreya] Wow!
[Badshah] Whoa!
I wish I could dance like that.
Look at her agility.
Where is Badshah?
Vishal, he's Badshah after all.
He's always late.
[Shreya] Correct!
Correct!
You're on point.
- Say, "Badshah"! - Badshah!
[song playing]
[laughs]
[Shreya] Go on!
[Vishal] Mind-blowing!
- Too good! - Oh my God!
Why is the mini Badshah still bathing?
The Indian Idol shoot is scheduled right at my bedtime.
My manager dragged me out of my bathroom.
[laughter]
By the way, I had exactly the same towel.
Since I didn't like its colour, I threw it away.
Vishal, you don't like anything anyway.
[laughter]
That's something! Burn!
- Let me recite a couplet. - Okay.
"The parrot told the sparrow in the zoo."
"Mogambo can be impressed,"
"but not Vishal Dadlani."
[Badshah guffaws]
Bang on!
- Vishal, please speak up. - What should I say?
You both are playing the roles of Ms. Shreya and Badshah,
but I'm afraid of myself right now.
[shrieks]
[laughs]
Tell me something.
The OGs are already here. Then why did the duplicates come?
Our Super Dancer show was doing so well, but...
[all three vocalising]
Your singing ended our show.
- What? - Then Indian Idol started airing.
- Oh! - Where should we go now?
[laughter]
You stopped our dance show,
so now we'll make you dance.
- Oh! - [Vishal] But how?
- Music! - Music!
[song playing]
[laughs]
I promise to come on time. Please!
Please ask him to dress up.
Please make a vow.
I swear on my mother.
[laughter]
[Shreya] Aw!
Thank you.
[laughs]
[sing-songly] Send in the next batch.
[upbeat music playing]
- Oh, wow! Fantastic! - Whoa!
Hey, Banashree! There had better be some food!
- Is it food? - Stop!
[laughter]
I know what it could be.
- It's a saree. - You won't wear it.
No, give it to me. I'll wear it.
- Hey, this... Oh, it's beautiful. - Ah!
I brought this saree for you from Assam.
This is so beautiful.
You could have got 'mishti doi' for me.
This won't look good on you.
Sunidhi, I want a dhoti next time.
Sure, sir. Sure.
- It looks very pretty. - Lovely colour.
You chose a lovely colour.
I'll surely wear this, thank you.
It looks good on me too.
Listen, get it for them too. They complain a lot.
We're greedy...
Thank you so much.
Get one for Shreya next time. Thank you.
It's mine.
[laughter]
Banashree, eight times four is?
Sir, I'll really leave.
Oh, yes! The maths girl.
She's weak at maths.
'My board exams were last year.'
'I scored 3 out of 100 in it.'
'What!'
[laughter]
'My dad is a maths teacher.'
'Oh, my! Gosh!'
'Here's what I did then.'
'I immersed my maths book in the Ganga River in Kolkata.'
[laughter]
'It was wow.'
Banashree, come on.
[music playing]
'Banashree Biswas Raiganj, 17 Years'
What a voice!
Wow!
- Oh, my! Lovely. - Well done.
[music playing]
[singing resumes]
I love it.
It's her own vibe.
- I love her. - Love it.
[singing resumes]
- Ah! - Lovely.
- She makes the song her own. - Yes.
Ah! Nice.
It's different.
- It's something else. - Yes.
[vocalisation]
[singing resumes]
Oh, my!
[giggles]
- [singing] - Ah! Very beautiful.
Ah! Lovely.
[vocalisation]
[singing resumes]
Wow!
[singing concludes]
[Shreya whooping and applauding]
Wow!
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you so much.
No, it isn't over yet. Pick it up!
- Take it. - Pick it up.
[audience applauding]
[joyous song playing]
Wow!
What a golden voice!
Lovely voice.
Thank you, ma'am.
My God!
- Hey! Come on, Banashree! - [whooping]
Wow!
[Shreya] Yes! Come on!
[audience applauding]
Way to go.
You're progressing to
- Indian Idol Season 16 Top 15! - Top 15!
[audience applauding]
God bless you.
Shreenidhi and Arfin!
We have many Platinum Mics left.
So, don't worry.
I think three from this batch will go ahead.
- All the best. Sing well. - All the best.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
We want to come back here.
[audience applauding]
I'll be honest, Banashree.
I don't know if you'll understand this.
You might have immersed your books in the Ganga River,
but your voice is like the Ganga.
[audience applauding]
Thank you, sir.
- Free-flowing... - Beautiful.
Exactly the same.
Thank you, sir.
Welcome to the Top 15!
[audience applauding]
Shreenidhi, you wore a dhoti even last time.
- We gave you compliments. - Yes, ma'am.
You look like an even more authentic Bengaluru resident.
Thank you, ma'am.
'Greetings, sir. Greetings, ma'am. Greetings, sir.'
- 'Greetings! - You look splendid.'
'Please sing well.'
- 'Are you breathing fast or slow? - Breathing fast.'
'I asked this to Dhoni once.'
- "Sir, how do you stay calm?" - Yes, sir.'
'He said, "I won't exaggerate. Just breathe slow."'
- 'Normal situation. All the best. - Thank you, sir.'
'It's the first time a contestant has worn a dhoti.'
'This is what you call'
'a celebration of India in the perfect way.'
'Come on, baby. Let's go.'
[audience applauding]
Shreenidhi, how have you prepared?
Sir, last time, Vishal told me to warm up a bit less.
So, this time, I've worked on it, sir.
- You told me not to overthink. - Yes.
So, I've tried controlling my overthinking.
- Yet... - You used to warm up for no reason, basically.
Correct.
Do you have anything else to confuse them more?
We were just trying to relax them.
Relax!
Yo, SG! What's going on, mate?
[laughter]
Come on, Shreenidhi.
[singing]
What song was that?
Hairathe.
[singing song]
- Oh, like this! - It's hard to sing tighter.
[singing]
This is the timing.
Six beat, crazy. That's crazy.
[singing resumes]
[singing concludes]
That's what he's rehearsing.
Okay.
'I'm feeling a bit nervous because this is a difficult song.'
'If I sing badly, it might be the end for me.'
'A lot of thoughts are running through my mind.'
[music playing]
Oh, I love this song!
Lovely.
'Shreenidhi Shastry Bengaluru, 22 Years'
Nice.
Wow.
- [Badshah] Lovely. - [Shreya] Nice.
- Nice. - Lovely.
[singing resumes]
[Shreya] Nice.
Ah! Whoa!
[singing along]
My, oh, my!
Nice.
[piano playing]
[singing resumes]
Nice.
That was different.
- Ah! - [whooping]
Lovely.
- Lovely. - Fantastic.
[singing concludes]
- [whooping] - Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you so much. Means a lot, ma'am. Thank you.
[Vishal] Mind-blowing.
- Wow! - Lovely!
Oh, God! That was lovely.
Shreenidhi!
Thank you, ma'am. Means a lot.
- Shall we go, then? Yes? - Let's go.
Come on!
[audience whooping]
[laughter]
Along with the stand!
Shreenidhi!
Apply ash or whatever you want, please.
Please go ahead.
What!
[audience applauding]
[judges whooping]
You're coming to the Top 15!
- Very well done. - Brilliant.
Very well done.
Thank you so much.
- You need guts! - Yes.
He performed 'Ay hairathe aashiqui' in the auditions.
And in the original song, Hariharan would...
He always improvises in his live performances.
And you sang most of the improvisations so well.
There was one challenging point.
[singing]
Mind-blowing, brother. Mind-blowing!
Apart from that,
- at no point was your soulfulness lacking. - Yes.
The combination is deadly.
- And that's why we need you in the Top 15. - Thank you, ma'am.
- Arfin, come on! You can do it. - Yes, ma'am.
No pressure.
The third mic is coming.
- Ah! - Get ready, baby.
- Oh... - Oh, yes. Mic drop.
Ah!
Last time, someone lifted a hand pump. He...
He's taking the mic stand this time.
How do we give it to them? There ought to be something special.
What will you do next time?
I'll take one of the lights.
[laughter]
Arfin, so nice to have you again.
And I remember.
'My father is Muslim and my mother is Hindu.'
[temple bell ringing]
'All the religions are equal in my eyes. I find them lovely.'
'Lovely.'
'This is so refreshing.'
'Best audition of the day.'
Hat trick! Hat trick! We want a hat trick.
'Banashree took the first Platinum Mic.'
'Shreenidhi took the second one.'
'I want the third Platinum Mic at all costs.'
'If I don't get it, I don't know what might happen to me.'
[music playing]
'Arfin Rana Kolkata, 27 Years'
[singing]
Zubeen...
[singing resumes]
Lovely!
Wow, he's singing better.
[singing concludes]
Good job.
[applause]
Good job.
Whoa!
Zubeen.
- Right? - Hmm.
This song reminded me of Zubeen.
The emotions with which he sang this song are incomparable.
Arfin!
What do you think of your performance?
I don't know, ma'am.
[suspenseful music playing]
Arfin, you sang a song of Mr. Rafi last time, right?
Although you retained his nuances,
it still felt like Arfin's version.
You delivered it to us well.
It was good, I'm not saying it wasn't.
But I feel you have a strong mimic.
You have the ability
to understand the other person's voice
and deliver it exactly.
My request to you would be that we want to listen to Arfin.
Yes, sir.
- Please make sure you retain your individuality. - Yes, sir.
- Arfin, you chose a very different song today. - Yes.
It was a risky choice but you sang very well.
Thank you, ma'am.
You're in the Top 15.
[audience applauding]
Yes! This is yours.
- And you deserve it. - Thank you, ma'am.
Yes! Yes... Congratulations.
[audience applauding]
A goosebumps kind of situation, man.
- Yay! I'm so happy. - Yes.
Wow, this is going to be one amazing season.
Let's please call the next...
[whimsical song playing]
What the...
Oh, yes. Let's go.
Just like my love, everybody! Put your hands together.
[Badshah singing]
[laughter]
- Are you ready for a rap? - Yes.
- Are you ready? - Yes!
Bearded guy, don't play the beat.
I don't need it because I'm not the real Badshah.
[laughter]
Hey! What you said right now...
They speak exactly like the real Badshah.
[laughter]
'Just say, "Wow".'
'No music, I won't be able to match it.'
[laughter]
Get on with the rap!
What was the rap?
This is my problem.
I pen the rap down and then, forget it.
Then other rappers take credit for it.
[chuckles]
Badshah bhaiya is sitting on the brown sofa.
- This one's for you. - Hey!
Ready?
Turn up the mic a bit. I remembered it.
- Now watch this. - Badshah really does it like this, he's learning it.
[rapping]
Wow!
I love the way they're cheerleading.
I love it.
Whoa!
This is real life for me.
No matter what I do, they always support me.
It's very important to have a cheerleader.
It's also important to have a hype crew.
- Hype crew. - Badshah Bhaiya, one is
hungry for 'parathas' in Mumbai.
And the other is hungry to make a name for himself.
- Oh! - So please welcome Manav and Tabish.
Yay!
Manav and Tabish!
[laughter]
Dear, why have you come...
How well I'm singing!
- Some... - Her feet.
She touched her own feet.
They are...
[laughter]
[chuckles]
Manav, you're here!
Yes, sir.
[singing]
'You didn't learn this from a TV show.'
'Sir, I swear on the Goddess.'
'I've learnt everything you've taught me.'
[vocalising]
'You've found your student, bro.'
'I'm feeling really good.'
'I haven't eaten anything since morning.'
'You get vada pav here, not 'parathas' with desi ghee.'
[laughter]
You took so long!
I've brought parathas for you since morning. Bring the parathas here.
In the same tiffin
we pack in the bus.
Oh, wow!
Come on, have the 'parathas'.
- You too, sir. - I'll have some.
Tabish, come here.
- Very tasty. - It's very tasty.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
Come on, Tabish.
Thank you, ma'am.
Let's see.
- Wow! - Tabish, you have to make your own identity, brother.
- Yes, sir. - It's not a small thing.
'Hello, sir. Hello, ma'am.'
'He's Danish's brother.'
'I've come here to change that.'
'Because the platform'
'that made Danish as Mohd Danish'
'will make me known as Mohd Danish's brother'
'and Tabish Ali.'
'So be it! I hope it happens.'
[singing]
'You've won my heart.'
'Thank you so much, ma'am.'
'Tabish is Tabish, and nobody but Tabish.'
Fingers crossed. You're going to sing really well.
Till now, nine mics have gone.
Four were before. Five have gone now.
I feel like the dream is about to break.
My heart is beating fast.
Feels like my heart's in my hands.
[singing]
Wow!
[singing]
Oh, wow!
[music playing]
[singing]
Wow!
Wow, amazing!
[singing]
Superb!
Thank you.
[applause]
Tabish, I've heard Danish's voice.
His voice is very beautiful.
But I'll say something
that Danish might not like.
I'll remember your voice,
- not Danish's. - Thank you so much, sir.
And I don't think you live in
anyone's shadow, nor will you ever.
- Thank you, sir. - A small piece of advice, Tabish.
You think you're a Sufi singer
and perform in that style, but you're not one.
- Well said! - Yes!
Thank you so much, ma'am.
So now you have to find your own style.
You have to discover where you sound your best.
Manav, all the best. Nail the theatre round.
- Come on! - Thank you, ma'am.
- Don't hold back at all, seriously. - No, sir.
This is your chance. Let's go.
By the grace of the Goddess,
in the first round too, I got positive comments.
If she's brought me this far, she'll take me further, too.
'Three, two, one.'
'Music!'
[music playing]
What a mad way to start a song!
[chuckles]
[singing]
Oh, wow!
Wow!
[singing]
Wow! Let's do this!
Thank you!
Please have
some mercy! You've started so high, and then you're going even higher.
You jumped from the moon to the ground.
I have the blessings of you all.
I was shocked at the first note. What's happening?
If this is the beginning, what will the end be like?
- Space! - Mind-blowing, brother!
Thank you so much.
Incredible! Some of the things you did were...
- Out of this world. - Crazy. Crackpot. Unbelievable.
Thank you very much, sir.
Now I'm going to be blunt.
In this genre, there are three
or four contestants.
They're strong competitors too. We haven't heard all of them yet.
So we'll make the decision
after listening to everyone.
Just like others are waiting, you wait too.
- Good luck. Thank you. - Thank you so much.
Jai Mata Di!
- Six for three. - They're back again.
- Six for three. - What's going on?
Six for three.
Did you all steal something from someone?
No, we didn't steal anything. We went to the gym.
[laughter]
You're getting six mics for three rupees!
No, for the three of you, we'll give six mics.
Oh, okay.
But why did you get them?
Isn't that too much?
The contestants coming next are also very strong.
Maybe you can give them more than one platinum mic.
Yes, we might need them. You did a good thing.
Our reputation will suffer if nobody earns more than one platinum mic.
And your name will be tied to ours.
So Badshah and Badshah,
your name will be ruined too. You don't want that?
Everyone's name is linked to mine.
- So presenting... - Wait!
It's not Super Dancer.
We've come on Indian Idol! They sing here.
[laughter]
- So presenting... - Yes!
Brother Lakshay...
- Wow, amazing! - That's it!
I've got such a nice voice.
[laughter]
Hope I don't jinx my own singing.
So presenting... Brother Lakshay!
- Wow! - Yay!
- Put it back! - Put it back!
- Where is he? - He's coming.
- Bring him. - Please come.
Please come.
- Come. - Oh, my God!
Hi, Lakshay.
- 'Did you find the originality? - Yes, sir.'
'I told you last year, I'm telling you now, show me you can do it.'
[singing]
'You've genuinely transformed'
'yourself in a year.'
'My mind's blown! How did this man do that?'
'I'm so proud of you, brother.'
'Thank you, sir.'
'Well done, Lakshay.'
Lakshay has found his own identity.
I'm very proud of you, brother.
- Oh, yes! - That was wonderful! Lakshay,
after the audition,
did you celebrate?
What did you do?
Did you apologise to your father on my behalf?
- Yes, sir. - Am I still going to get beaten up?
Yes, sir. This time, the bottles were opened! He was very happy
to hear that.
The bottles will break on his head!
Oh, my God!
No, sir, nothing like that.
Everything's going well, right?
- Yes, sir. - We can move forward, right?
Yes, sir.
- Okay, all the best. - Yes, sir.
Sing well, brother. Sing well!
Lakshay.
Last year,
I was eliminated in this round.
So I'll give my best. And by hook or crook, I want the platinum mic.
[music playing]
[singing]
Wow!
- Thank you so much! - Yes!
[gasps]
Uhm... Okay.
[pauses]
Lakshay, what you've done, the change you've brought in yourself,
it's humongous.
But you need to find a deeper soul in that song.
It lacked a touch of spirituality.
You need to fulfil the true meaning and purpose of that song.
You have to find the emotion in it.
I'm sorry, your journey ends here.
The pain in your heart is visible.
But please come back and do it again.
Thank you so much.
Good luck.
[ethereal music playing]
Stop!
I feel like he will stop singing.
Lakshay, come here.
Come here.
[song playing]
Brother, listen to me.
I know you're angry.
I know you're disappointed. I know you're feeling sad.
It's not that we think you lack talent.
You have a great voice.
You have everything a singer should have.
I'm giving you my number right now.
I'll personally
work with you to make this happen.
In one year, we'll change this.
I promise we'll work it out.
My brother, don't lose heart.
[song playing]
Sir, I really wanted this.
Because I came here for you.
Brother, listen... I'm not going anywhere.
I'm with you.
Let's do this for another year.
We can do it. How old are you?
- Twenty-three. - Are you in a hurry?
My first song came out when I was 25.
I didn't even know how to make a song. It just happened.
Take some time. Give yourself that time.
It's okay. Just breathe a little. I'm here.
We'll handle it, okay?
Take it easy.
[song playing]
Poor guy! He's shattered.
Hey, Lakshay!
You won't walk like that.
You won't walk with your head down.
[song playing]
Go home. Go proudly. You sang well.
You can't be sad.
I won't allow it.
I promise you, music won't leave you. And I won't leave you. Okay?
[song playing]
Go happily.
[song playing]
[applause]
Oh, wow!
- Hello. - Hello, ma'am!
All three of you represent different genres
and styles.
It feels good to see you all together.
[singing]
Parinay, you're singing well. But your journey
is yet to reach the level
of feeling, soul, and understanding.
[singing]
Kalyan, your voice is
actually very good,
but it needs more polishing.
[singing]
Anurag, this performance wasn't your best.
We'll give you the decision later.
Thank you so much. Good luck, guys.
- None of us has got the result yet. - I'm feeling a little nervous.
Because this platinum mic can change my children's future.
My heartbeat just keeps getting faster.
I'm just hoping
the results are good.
There's a lot of pressure because my throat isn't in good condition.
It's very important for me to be selected,
as my dad has given me
only a couple of years.
