[ominous song playing]
[eerie music playing]
As a child,
I thought the juggler was divine.
Now that I've grown up,
the divine seems like a juggler when I watch his tricks.
[song playing]
My name is Joker, made through every fall.
Okay!
I am a psychic magician and a numerologist.
Oh!
I have a habit of putting people under my spell.
[chuckles]
I am here to turn all of you into magicians.
- Over to you. The stage is yours. - I am very excited.
Joker, magician, clown, all of this is in my name.
All in one.
For centuries
the Joker has been sidelined.
But people forget that they can remove the Joker
but they can't be removed.
The joker in cards and a blow from loved ones can turn the game around.
Oh!
He also plays the game of words.
You must have seen magic.
Magic has two secrets.
First, the cleanliness of the hands.
You must have seen a lot. Let me tell you
what the cleanliness of the hands is.
What you see is never there.
[suspenseful music playing]
What is there is nowhere
to be seen.
But what is real magic? The vanishing trick.
You must have seen it. They make it vanish, and it comes back.
But this is very boring.
I will tell you what real magic is.
What all of us are seeing now. Two of diamonds.
And if I place it here...
[suspenseful music playing]
Where did it go?
Let me tell you.
This is the magic.
I want to turn all of you into magicians.
Let me roll my sleeves up so that people don't doubt
something is happening.
Between me and my Golden Buzzer,
there is your performance.
Is it?
I am not serious this time. The Joker won't ask why I am so serious.
Because it is your performance.
- Will you turn us into magicians on the first day? - 101 per cent, sir.
I would like to fail, but I want to turn you all into magicians.
Because in the entire act, magicians show themselves as superior.
I am not that kind of person.
So, the world is of two types.
Good and bad. You are good and I am bad.
Similarly, my cards are of two types.
The red one and the black one.
You have to predict
which card will be red and which will be black.
Let me show you. Sir, will this be red or black? Please predict.
- This will be black. - This will be black, but this is red.
Oh, no!
I'm already going to be out.
Let's see.
You predicted this would be black.
Why don't we take this in a fun way?
In a hurry, it will be fun.
Like black, red, red, black. Something like this.
- Then do it. - Start!
- Sir, black or red? - Red.
- Sir, black or red. - Black.
- Black or red? - Black.
- Black or red? - Red.
- Black or red? - Black.
Let's do it with two.
It can be black, red, red, black. It can be anything. It will be fun.
- Black or red? - Red.
- Sir, black or red? - Black.
- Sir, black or red? - Black again.
Black or red, sir?
- Black again. - Black or red, sir?
- I like black. - Black or red, sir?
- Black! - Black or red, sir?
- Red. - Red? Alright.
Alright!
- Sir, you tell me. Black or red? - Like your moustache.
Sir, what is this?
Red. Black or red, sir?
- Red. - Okay.
How will it be upside down?
A magician is not the one who makes magic boring.
A magician is the one who makes magic interesting.
So, let's twist it, ma'am.
Now, we will keep red here.
We kept black here. Now, we will do black.
And we will start with two cards. It will be fun.
I know there will be mistakes.
But the magician is sitting.
Shall we start?
- Red or black? - Black.
- Red or black, sir? - Black.
- Red or black, sir? Red or black? - Red. Red!
- Red or black, sir? - Black.
- Red or black, sir? - Red.
Red or black, sir?
- Black. - You are adding two cards
- at one time. - Yes. Tell me.
- Ma'am, what is it? Black? - Black.
Ma'am, red or black?
Black.
- Ma'am, last? - Give it to me.
- No, ma'am. Please tell me. - Red.
Red. A big round of applause for the judges.
[applause]
The Joker hasn't done any magic yet.
I just separated
the cards like slaves.
Let's see how wrong we are.
[dramatic music playing]
And you will see carefully.
You didn't make a single mistake
with all the red cards you called.
And all of you said red in red
and ended up with red.
[applause]
Black.
All of you kept black in black.
[dramatic music playing]
I said I've come to make magicians.
So, 50 per cent was right.
But I don't like to celebrate early.
- This is insane! - Let's check here as well.
All the blacks are in black.
You didn't make any mistakes
with the black, sir.
Everything that was in red,
you turned completely red. I turned all of you into magicians.
For the first time
in my life,
- I didn't make any mistakes. - No!
Look, sir,
all the gems have become useless.
All the weapons have become useless.
And the ones who entered the river for the first time have crossed it.
We have become magicians. That's great!
- You have turned us into magicians. - Yes!
Amazing!
- That was great. - You were doing it from such a close distance
and
- none of us were able to catch it. - Not at all, sir.
I told you that I am a psychic magician.
- A person who can read minds. - You are different.
You are different. You are completely different.
Ma'am, just a minute.
- I have never seen a magician like you. - I want to do it.
Please, ma'am.
- A big round of applause for her. Please! - Very nice shuffle!
And then there's that flip, right?
Now no one will doubt that I set up the cards at home.
Ms Malaika is an expert, too.
- An expert at three-card poker. - I've turned them into magicians.
- You can see that. - I've learned the shuffle.
- You didn't learn it, you already knew it. - Perfect, ma'am.
[whispering]
Mr Shaan, I'd like to make a request. Will you choose a card?
Please, sir. Just don't choose the two of hearts.
I don't like the two of hearts.
Let's see, sir, which card it is.
[suspenseful music playing]
Please, you can choose any card.
It's the two of hearts.
No!
- I'm not going to put you under my spell. - I will choose it.
Please, ma'am. I'll shuffle it like this.
This is the casino-style best shuffle.
It's called the best shuffle.
Ma'am, please tell me to stop.
- Stop! - Ma'am, look at your card.
You told me to stop. Please.
It shouldn't be the two of hearts. Please, ma'am.
You can choose any card.
- It will be fun to do magic. - Oh!
It shouldn't be the two of hearts.
Ma'am.
Unbelievable!
I'll try once more with sir.
- I will... - I want to do it again.
Ma'am, once more? Yes.
I'll try once more.
Because I always tell myself that
I don't know if one more attempt will change my fate.
Otherwise, poison can be taken anytime.
Oh!
Sherry, competition.
Sir, let's try one last time.
Ma'am, please don't choose the two of hearts.
Please put your hand on this two of hearts, ma'am.
No. You have to place it properly.
Sir, I won't let you choose.
You can cut the deck as much as you want.
According to your wish.
Please cut it properly.
I will mark that sir
has cut the deck.
And you will see carefully
that wherever you cut the deck,
there is the two of hearts.
And look under your hand, ma'am.
Voila!
- Yeah! - I have put all of you under control.
I told you.
The joker in cards and a blow from loved ones can turn the game around.
Now it's time for the Joker to leave.
But one thing
keeps troubling him.
Will you let him
go empty-handed?
Thank you so much.
[applause]
I am a Sardar, but you are someone who makes an impact.
[applause]
What you've done
is amazing.
You have my yes.
Awesome!
Thank you, sir.
Lots of people do close-up magic.
But your personality,
the way you talk,
the way you captivate your audience,
that is unique. And that is your strength.
Yes!
I will say yes because I'd like to see Himanshu
again on this stage.
[chuckles]
I'm still mesmerised by how this all happens.
It's so different, so unique, so amazing.
It's an overwhelming yes from me, too.
Awesome! Har Har
Mahadeva!
There's nothing!
[applause]
Set up!
You set up!
[laughter]
All day, you can't just say set up!
Set up!
[tense music playing]
The setup seems very intense.
Who is it going to be?
Here they are. Two geniuses.
Welcome.
They look solid.
- Hello. - Hello, ma'am.
- What is your name? - My name is Abhishek.
- Abhishek. - My name is Abhishek.
Huh?
You are Abhishek too?
Why are you in such a hurry?
Akash.
- Abhishek. - Did you forget?
[laughing]
He forgot the name while looking at Malaika.
He said Abhishek first.
[laughing]
- He got confused. - You got so confused.
Oh god.
[laughing]
What happened? Are you nervous or something?
- Where have you come from? - Mukandpur, Delhi.
He is so nervous that he is talking in a girl's voice.
[laughing]
Such huge bodybuilders,
but look at the voices.
Did you see it in the film?
It's the same thing.
[laughing]
Well, everybody gets nervous. What are you going to do here?
Ma'am, we are going to do acrobatics plus body balancing.
Oh no. I am nervous now.
[laughing]
Akash, stand straight first.
You are shaking so much. How will you balance yourself?
- This is correct. - One second.
Akash is shaking,
but Abhishek is not shaking at all.
His name is Abhishek.
Become poised.
Balance your mind.
Did you understand? That's how you balance yourself.
Now, let's come to the point.
I have seen a lot of body balancing acts on this stage.
What different thing are you going to do?
Ma'am, we have a teacher.
They have been a part of this show.
They have been the finalists of Season 7,
Sachin and Raju.
[cheering]
Oh my!
They were amazing body balancers. I still remember it.
- Do you train under them? - We are their younger siblings.
- Are you their brothers? - Yes.
Oh, wow.
- Is it Raju or... - Is it Sachin?
Have you forgotten about Raju and Sachin, too?
- No, it's Sachin. - You are Sachin's brother.
- Yes, ma'am. - I would have guessed it
that he is Sachin's brother.
Well, let's not make them more nervous.
Please start the act.
All the best.
Don't be nervous.
Do your best.
Come on.
Okay, ma'am.
Let's go. Come on, Abhishek.
Do well.
Boys, you'll certainly do a good job and make us proud.
- Who are you? - We are their fans.
- You are their fans? - Yeah.
- Are you here to support them? - Of course.
That's great. Their friends look well-built, too.
[tense music playing]
Roll.
I hope nothing happens to them.
- Look at them standing. - I'm a little worried for them.
- The posture seems a bit weird. - Yeah.
They seem a bit nervous.
Three. Two. One. Sound!
[tense music playing]
[song playing]
What strength!
Oh my god.
[cheering]
Oh, man!
My god!
Wow.
Oh... Wow.
Oh god.
Wow.
[cheering]
Superb!
[cheering]
My god. This is amazing.
[cheering]
[tense music playing]
Wow. Amazing.
[cheering]
Woah!
Oh god.
[cheering]
Unbelievable.
That was amazing.
Wow.
Amazing.
Well... You are related to Sachin.
Sachin wouldn't speak much,
but his talent would. Today, your talent spoke too.
Amazing. It's a yes for me.
[cheering]
You were shaking a lot before the act,
but you were fully focused on your act.
What balance!
[cheering]
- Such a difference! - Unbelievable.
Let me tell you. Raju and Sachin would feel very proud
when they see this.
In the beginning, you went down.
Then you came up.
I said that this is true IGT worth talent.
Thank you, ma'am.
At last, you put your feet on his head.
You were doing situps on top of that.
Your core strength,
your leg strength, your arm strength...
They've got solid hips, too.
In fact, looking at their hips, I am remembering mine.
[laughing]
Don't say such things.
Sometimes, it gets very dangerous.
I would like to talk about one observation.
You could have been a fast act,
but the time you are taking in every position,
it is portraying your core strength.
So, holding that position for such a long time,
that was incredible.
It's a confirmed, sure yes from me too. Fantastic.
Such amazing comments. Everybody is praising you.
- They are whistling. - It was a flawless performance.
How do you feel?
Ma'am, it feels great.
I can see my brother's dream getting fulfilled here.
Let's feel a bit more.
[tense music playing]
Let's give them a golden buzzer.
[mellow music playing]
[song playing]
Golden buzzer!
[cheering]
Look at Akash.
Such a big man doesn't look good while crying.
[sombre music playing]
What happened, Akash?
Who are they? Are they your friends?
Tell us who they are.
They are my friends.
They are performers too.
They'll perform after us.
- Really? - Yes, sir.
- What's the name? - Cally Boys.
Oh, interesting.
They've already got the golden buzzer.
- How do you feel? - It feels amazing.
[cheering]
It feels as if we got it.
Okay. That's very good.
When did you guys meet and become friends?
Ma'am, we have been practising together for a long time.
[mellow music playing]
When we practise, they cheer and support us.
When they practise, they support and cheer us.
Wonderful.
Here comes a song on friendship.
Okay? We'll sing together.
Ready, sir.
It's my friend's song.
[singing]
Wow.
Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.
Akash and Abhishek.
Congratulations. We'll meet you at the semi-finals.
Yeah!
Bye.
Congratulations. That was amazing.
Harsh, next act.
[mellow music playing]
To the audience sitting here,
I would like to request you not to shout too much
because there's a cute dog here.
- He gets scared. - This is what we call a real dog lover.
I am. I'm a complete pet mom.
[mellow music playing]
Oh my god. Okay.
Hello to all the judges.
Hello.
My name is Anil Ventro.
- Anil Ventro. - Yes, ma'am.
But what's the intro?
Anil Ventro is the intro.
[laughing]
So, you are Anil.
- Who is this cute creature? - Loona.
This lovely, pretty little girl is Loona.
Yes.
Okay.
I am going to show you a special talent today.
- Okay, Ventro. - You guys must be thinking it.
You must have seen a lot of running and dancing acts.
It's going to be different this time.
There will be a conversation.
Oh.
So, she understands everything.
Siddhu sir is thinking about the talent of talking.
He thought he was the only one who had it.
[laughing]
Give him a big hand.
I am not saying that I have the talent.
So, how is it a talent?
[comical music playing]
How is this a talent, Loona?
What if I speak?
[laughing]
Oh.
What if I speak?
- It's a talent if Loona speaks. - Yes.
Oh my god, Loona.
Do you know what you have to do first?
What is it?
Siddhu sir will greet me.
Siddhu says hello if there is this magic.
Give him a big hand.
Woah!
[clapping]
Leaving aside one handsome man,
let's go towards another handsome man.
- Say something to sir. - I love you.
[laughing]
I love you.
How is it speaking?
Sing a song for sir.
Sing a song of his.
[singing]
What will you say?
Well, 25 years ago, he was 25 years old.
25 years ago, he was 25 years old.
He still looks 25.
[laughing]
Sit here.
- Say hi to Malaika ma'am. - Are you crazy?
[laughing]
Won't you say hi to Malaika?
Look there. Won't you say hi?
- What will you say? - Give me a handkerchief.
Sorry. It's a scarf.
Give the handkerchief.
Now, tell me.
Talk to Malaika now.
Greetings to you.
[laughing]
Look at that.
Why are you greeting her?
She is the mother-in-law.
[laughing]
- Is she the mother-in-law? - Yeah.
- She is after Casper. - Tell me something.
How is she a mother-in-law?
She has just one son. He is 18-20 years old.
She has another son.
Another son? Who is he?
Casper.
[laughing]
I love you, Casper. I love you.
[laughing]
Casper's fianc*e is here.
So, you want to marry Casper?
- Yeah. - Fix the marriage.
- Sure? - Sure.
Sure!
- It's done. - What is happening?
You will have to show them your talent.
What talent do you have?
- I do have it. - Open your mouth.
[comical music playing]
Shut your mouth.
Sir, please tell her to shut her mouth.
Shut your mouth.
Sir, you say it.
Shut your mouth.
Malaika ma'am, you say it.
Shut your mouth.
- Oh my! - What was that?
I am the obedient daughter-in-law.
[laughing]
Obedient daughter-in-law.
If they get married,
what will be the benefit?
We will have a family.
[laughing]
How is he doing this?
How will you expand your family?
In just one year, Casper and I...
will be six from two.
Six from two!
Twelve for us! Have a 12th man also!
Take Ms Malaika's blessings.
Good Lord!
Aww!
- So sweet! - How's she doing this?
Something is there, right?
The cutest thing I've ever seen, boss.
Hello, sir!
- Oh, my... - That watch's worth 10 million!
My watch caught your attention?
Bless me.
Wohoo! I'll marry soon!
Ms Malaika.
I want to say something.
You've to either say yes
to him or me.
Or me! Or me! Or me!
[sentimental music playing]
Meaning?
I meant, say yes to sending me to the next round.
Thank God you clarified.
- I'll find out later that it's for him too. - Oh, I see.
It's holding the gun, but you're pulling the trigger?
- No, no, sir! - Sight's somewhere, and aim's elsewhere.
Catch him! Lock him up!
[laughing]
It's time for a marriage! Do you say yes to her?
I mean, from the bottom of my heart, I'd like to say yes
to Luna and Casper.
Oh, my! I love you!
Ma'am said yes, what else do you want now?
What do you get in a wedding? - What do you get?
Gold! I want the golden buzzer!
Oh! Oh!
She wants costly things!
Be grateful I didn't ask for your watch.
She has her eyes on it! - Good Lord!
Unbelievable, man!
Anil, I know you're a ventriloquist.
You're amazing!
I mean, you're speaking in two voices.
And we're none the wiser.
- You revealed my secret, sir! - You're right here,
and yet...
You're doing it so well.
- Thank you, mother-in-law! - Thank you, Luna!
This is one of a kind!
This is... I mean, it's miraculous!
- Thank you! - If it's miraculous...
then it needs to be applauded!
- Bravo! - Here.
Aww!
Oh, my God!
Yay! My God!
Stuff of my dreams!
- Your dreams are fulfilled? - Yes!
I'm in my mother-in-law's embrace!
[laughing]
"I want to go to my lover's house"
Whatever you did... You're a ventriloquist.
- You've done it very smoothly! - Very good!
I just want to say...
tell everybody out there that...
that Luna is well taken care of.
Nobody has been hurt.
No animal has been in any distress.
At all. So...
it's a yes from me.
Because it's very, very cute.
Thank you! - Amazing!
Thank you! - Come.
It's a yes from me, too.
I will get Casper next time.
And we'll get them married on this very stage.
Oh, my God! - There you go!
Thank you! Thank you!
It's a yes from all of us!
From us to Luna!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Very amazing!
- Was there anything in his mouth? - In whose?
- Any contraption? - I don't know.
But whatever she did was...
- Opening her mouth like that... - Yeah.
Because I felt like there... Was there something?
Even when he was far away,
- it was moving. - Her mouth was moving.
No, no, no. Even when he's far,
and mouth's opening.
But no sooner does the mouth open
than you hear a synchronised voice from somewhere.
- No, no, It's his voice. - It's his voice.
How? I mean... And perfectly!
It was so well coordinated!
- How? - A human can't do it!
- Superb this was! - How?
It's been one miracle after another!
'Rainbow Dance Troupe.'
Lights went off. What happened?
'Rainbow Dance Troupe.'
'According to legends,'
'whenever demonic forces and unrighteousness'
'have reigned supreme,'
'the Almighty has sent his divine feminine powers'
'and has come to earth in various forms'
'to establish righteousness.'
'And He has destroyed those demonic forces.'
'Come. We His devotees'
'would like to present a small act featuring these divine forces.'
[thunder rumbling]
'Brahmani.'

'Maheshwari.'
'Vaishnavi.'
'Narsimhi.'
[lion roaring]
Very good!
'Vaarahi.'

'Kaumari.'
'Indrani.'
'Vinayaki.'

'Mother Chamunda.'
'These divine powers'

[epic music playing]
Superb!
[thunder rumbling]
[religious chants]
Superb!
Wow, man! What a performance! Woah!
[cheering]
Straight to the semis!
What an act! What an act!
Can we go there?
Hip-hip! Hooray!
I bow down to you all.
[religious chants]
You've made me happy!
Amazing!
[religious chants]
Where are you from? - We're from Kolkata.
And your name?
The group's called Rainbow Dance Troupe.
So perfect that it didn't seem as if you
were taking part in a competition.
You seemed like professionals! It was a professional act!
I mean, I got goosebumps! Really.
How long it take for you
to create this beautiful look?
Did you do it yourself? Or did you hire someone else?
Actually, ma'am, in our group,
we do our make-up ourselves.
All this prosthetic that you see,
it takes a minimum of four to six hours.
- Oh! - One second.
You're all boys?
Yes. I don't want to use the term 'boys'.
I am from LGBTQ+ community. We all are.
- This is our community. - Oh, my God! I had no idea!
I thought there's one boy.
I thought maybe there's one boy.
But everyone else looked like girls.
I mean, I didn't realise it, not even for a second.
No, no. The name was a giveaway
that they're representing a community.
- Because of the rainbow! - Yes! That's why!
[sombre music playing]
Actually, when we perform on stage,
when we dress up as Goddesses, people respect us.
But when we're out on the roads,
they treat us differently.
[song playing]
'People make faces when they see us.'
'What can we do? That's in their nature.'
[song playing]
'They think we're abnormal.'
'But we're not different.'
'They have such narrow thinking.'
[song playing]
The world doesn't think of us as a part of the family.
'So why should we care about it?'
'We're our own family.'
[song playing]
People who think we'll budge
to their threats,
we welcome them with our slippers!
[song playing]
I believe that
just like I,
her and him make up society,
you all make up society, too!
Our homes might be different.
Even our way of living.
But something's common to everyone,
and that's the right to live.
Give our right! Right here, right now!
[sombre music playing]
I'm a huge fan of your passion!
Either keep losing, or get up and fight!
- Yes, sir. - That's how it is!
Hold the slipper firmly!
If someone dares to mess with you,
beat them black and blue!
Thank you! Thank you so much, sir!
Rainbow group, you've gotten the Golden Buzzer.
Straight to the semi-finals!
See you there with a fantastic act!
Looking forward to it!
[song playing]
There is a very dear friend of mine. Sanjay Bangar.
- Oh, yes. - He played for India.
- Yes, yes, Sanjay Bangar. - He played for India.
- Yeah, yeah. - His son got an operation done.
- For a sex change. - And her name is Ananya Bangar now.
- So she became a woman. - Woman.
He was so devastated.
I told Sanjay... I said, 'Hey...
'Hey, the best thing for you is to accept it.'
'Let them live their life on their terms.'
Absolutely!
Hold on tight, judges.
Because I've not seen such a cute
and lovely contestant for years now.
- Hold on tight! - Wow!
Please welcome... one overloading with cuteness...
Come on!
Arya!
[song playing]
So cute!
So cute! So lovely!
Where's this cutie from? What's this fairy's sweet name?
Arya Gadhia.
Arya, do you want something? Water, or anything at all?
No.
- Sure? - Yes.
- Have you had anything to eat? - Yes.
What do you eat?
Roti and okra.
[laughing]
So cute!
- How sweet is that! - Roti and okra!
[laughing]
What will you be doing, dear?
I'm going to do something which I can't do here.
- Oh. - Really?
Then where else?
Come with me.
We must come with you?
For sure.
- Let's go, then? - Shall we?
[song playing]
After you, ma'am.
[tense music playing]
You've got some setup here. Where are we going?
She'll pull this car.
[tense music playing]
Arya, breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
I'm in shock!
- Seeing a little one doing this, I'm just in shock. - Okay?
You keep going.
Take small steps.
Dig inside!
And go. Wait, wait, wait!
Wait.
Rolling, and...
Action!
[tense music playing]
Come on!
Pull, Arya! Come on! You've got this!
Come on! Pull!
Come on!
Nice! Come on! Pull!
Pull!
Come on!
Come on! Keep going!
[screaming]
Pull, Arya! Pull, Arya!
Take small steps! Pull!
Pull! Arya, pull!
Come on!
Pull! Pull! Come on!
- Come on! - I think it's moving!
Yes! Yes!
Come on! You've got this!
- Come on! Come on! - Pull!
Pull! Pull! Come on!
Arya, come on!
Come on!
Pull! Come on!
Pull!
- Come on! - Pull! Pull!
Pull! Pull!
Arya! Come on, Arya! Come on!
Come on, Arya! Pull!
Come on! Come on!
Pull! Pull!
Pull!
Arya, pull!
Arya! Come on, Arya! Come on!
Move, Arya! Pull!
Come on!
[cheering]
Arya, come on!
Arya, pull! Arya! Come on, Arya! Come on!
Pull, Arya! Pull!
Arya! Come on, Arya! Come on!
Pull, Arya! Pull!
Come on! Come on! Pull!
Pull! Pull!
Arya, pull!
Arya! Come on, Arya! Come on!
Yes! Yes!
That's it! That's it!
[applause]
You did great!
I can see anything and everything, except you crying.
Wohoo!
- Champion! - Yay, Arya!
[triumphant music playing]
This kid who's 20 kilos
pulled a car weighing 2000 kilos!
[applause]
Give me a five!
Yay!
I briefly felt,
in the middle, that she was giving up.
- There were tears. - Yes, there were tears in her eyes.
And then a father showed us
how much he's sacrificed for his daughter.
You egged her on, and she did not quit in the end.
And she emerged victorious!
- Amazing! Wonderful! - Wow!
All the countries
that have produced Olympic medalists,
they caught their kids very young!
So I'm seeing a potential gold medal.
And all the credit goes to her father.
- God bless you! - Thank you, sir!
Last time I saw something like this
was in the movie Dangal.
A story similar to this.
There was a father with three daughters.
He trained them hard
and took them to national and international level competitions.
So I can see that
same equation. I know this girl
will scale great heights!
[applause]
- From me, Arya... - It's a yes from me, too.
Dear, you were wonderful!
Wow, Arya!
Arya, it's a big, big, big yes from me!
[applauding]
Come on, Arya! You come here!
Come on. Yay!
Keep applauding for Arya!
Yay! Let's go!
- Wohoo! - Hip-hip!
Hooray!
Wow!
[song playing]
Please come.
- Next contestant. - Where are you hiding?
[applause]
Oh!
What is your name?
Greetings. My name is Karismita Roy.
I am Parishruti.
Parishruti. What a heavy name!
I am Harvika.
- What? - Are there any light names?
Yes!
My name is Shizan.
I am Aditi.
- Wow! - That's a simple one.
And my name is Madhubarna.
My name is Swarnav Mahanta.
Sir, my name is Nibir Kumar Nath.
Okay. Now tell me the name of your group.
Sir, we are Hilphonic.
What are you going to do today?
- Sir, today we are going to do Folk Fusion with Bollywood. - Wow!
In it, you will see
our entire Assam,
from the rivers to the birds.
All the best. Hail, Asom!
- Hail, Asom! - All the best!
Start the preparations.
[beats khol]
- The set-up is very nice. - Yeah, the set-up is very nice.
Did this colour exist before?
Yeah, it did, but the set is different.
It's a very nice,
- modern set. - 'Clear the stage, please.'
Earlier, TV sets used to be very typical-looking.
- So this is different. - Yes.
[music playing]
[singing]
Oh, that was that thing they were playing.
[music playing]
[singing]
Wow!
Oh!
[crowd cheering]
[singing]
[crowd cheering]
[singing]
Wow!
[music playing]
[singing]
Wow!
[singing]
Very good!
[applause]
Very good!
They are holding the pose as well!
Wow!
That was fun.
Shaan, this is your song, O Re Kanchi.
- Yes! - Join them, please.
[singing]
Let's do it.
[singing]
[music fades out]
I couldn't help it. I sang it,
but the atmosphere they created
was fun.
O Re Hilphonic,
fantastic!
[applause]
It's a yes from my side.
These kids
are connected to their glorious history.
And a nation connected to its glorious history
never sinks.
It always rises.
You made Assam proud today.
God bless you.
From my side, too, yes!
Cut act.
You got two yeses.
Now my yes has no worth.
I will come and take a step with you.
[music playing]
'Hail, Asom!'
Yay!
[singing]
Superb!
Wow!
I don't even have a waist. I don't know what to do.
- [laughter] - Okay!
For Hilphonics,
from my side, it's a yes.
Oh!
Well done!
Thank you so much.
- Thank you, see you soon. - Thank you.
See you soon. All the best. - Very good!
[playful music playing]
Let's call our next contestant.
Let's give them a big round of applause.
[applause]
So many people!
They both look like famous personalities.
What are your names? Where are you from?
My name is Akash Singh, and I'm from Bhagalpur, Bihar.
- But I moved to Mumbai a few years ago. - Okay.
My name is Gaglina.
I'm from Assam, and I've also been living in Mumbai for a few years.
[applause]
Akash and Gaglina.
I've seen a lot of people in a crowd,
this is the first time I've seen so many people supporting two people.
[crowd cheering]
You really seem very popular.
What are you going to perform?
We're going to perform an aerial act.
These people...
They are here for you.
Who are they? What's going on?
Some of our students are here.
We teach them.
Who are they? Your students?
Yes, ma'am.
One of them
- is a kid here. - Ma'am.
She's a little girl.
Ma'am, our students
are from three years old to 55 years old.
Is Gaglina also your student,
or is there something more?
No.
There's nothing like that.
I'm just asking.
What's the harm in asking?
I've seen many lovers.
But you're so airy.
Are you going to do something in the air?
- Yes, sir. Okay. - Show us!
[applause]
All the best!
Do they teach you aerial or just dancing?
- Silks and all that. - Does he hang you in the air?
- Well done! - Come here.
Oh, dear!
- Hi! - Hi.
What have you learnt?
Flying.
You've learnt to fly?
How? Show us.
- In the air. - Oh, wow!
Say all the best to sir.
All the best!
All the best. Okay.
[music playing]
[song playing]
Wow!
- Oh! - Oh, dear!
- Wow! - Awesome!
[song playing]
[applause]
I'm telling you,
don't try this at home.
This has been
done by experts.
[song playing]
- Oh! - Whoa!
[yells]
Oh!
I've seen a lot of aerial acts,
but I haven't seen one
on a moving pole like this. This is not sturdy.
It moves a lot, left, right, front, and back.
So it takes a lot of strength
and practice.
Core strength is very important.
And you guys are clearly fantastic
at what you do.
You did a lot of death-defying things.
- 'Wow! - Wow!'
'Wow!'
You also did moves that were
fluid and beautiful.
I liked it a lot.
So from my side, for both of you
and all your students, it's a yes from me.
- Thank you. - Thank you, ma'am.
You roamed around like this,
and then you rolled around like a top.
And then at the very end...
[suspenseful music playing]
It's not just a yes from me.
But there's something beyond that yes.
Sardar was happy!
Akash, the way you're inspiring all the students,
it's wonderful. Akash, of course, it's a yes from me.
And there's a golden buzzer, too.
But before I press it,
I want to know from your students.
Do you want them to go straight to the semi-finals,
or do you want
- more of their acts to be seen on television? - I feel...
I want to see more.
- Semi-final! - We want to see more. There should be more.
We want to go to the semi-finals.
- Look. - The semi-finals is confirmed.
But should you go straight or do a few more acts?
Guru, understand one thing.
Look, judges have their voice.
But when the public speaks,
the voice of the people is god's voice.
The voice of the people is god's voice.
No one can suppress it.
That is also true, Sidhu Paaji.
Of course, it's a yes from me.
But the golden buzzer...
That...
We want to see more of this performance.
That's the spirit!
Kids, go.
Hug him. Go!
- Go on! - Believe in yourself!
Believe in yourself!
[laughter]
Thank you!
