In Yesterday’s episode we saw Sayan and Mitika got the Golden Keys and they got through the Chakravyuh round. Today remaining battalion will perform and two of them will get eliminate. Today is last episode of First Round. So lets see who gets through and who gets eliminate.
The show begins with Aditya, Sayan and Mitika sing Oh Haseena zulfon waali jaane jahaan. There is also an AV of the song that is shown. Aditya greets everyone and wishes Sayan and Mitika. Today is the last day we will get to see Asha tai as we come to end of the first round. Aditya also announces that Shashi from Lakshya gharana and Rashi from Dhoom gharana has got sanjivani bhooti, while the gharana which is not affected is Himesh’s Rock gharana.

Shankar - You are really a very good singer.. But Im unable to forget the impact that you gave in last performance..
Aadesh - Shankarji has said whatever I wanted to say.. I think we will again take the issue of genre.. Your sur everything is good, but the previous impact was better..
Himesh - We all mentors will be waiting for that impact of yours in the previous performance.. That was unmatchable..
Ashaji - I liked it.. Your sur was perfect.. Harkatein everything was really good..

Aadesh - Fareed, very good.. I like the instrument of Rajasthan.. Darshana, You too sang well and nice attempt..
Shankar - You have rocked even in this semi-classical genre..Darshana, you sang very melodiously and you sang with ease..
Pritam - Very good.. You have great confidence.. Darshana, great attempt.. But seemed like you were not opening up…
Himesh - Fareed, you sang beautifully.. Darshana, you are very nervous.. You need to get out of fear..
Ashaji - He is my favorite singer and I tried to meet him and get closer to him.. You sang it very well.. Darshana - You need to open up and the weightage was not there in your song..
Today’s Results:
For Girls
Ashaji - All three have sung very well.. Among the girls, Darshana gets eliminated..
Himesh - Everyone has heard your tonal quality.. You are a very good singer.. Anyone has to get eliminated, so its you today.. Darshana - I am glad I got this wonderful stage..
Among Boys
Ashaji - You all three sang well.. I cant say NO to anyone.. I just feel like crying.. When a singer gives their best, we cannot say NO and especially by me, its quite impossible.. I told even the directors that this cannot be done by me.. We know how difficult it is when someone says something in the recording studio.. I dont want to hurt anyone while leaving this episode.. I would like to thank everyone, including Aditya, the directors Shashi and Shindey.. And before saying something to these, I want to leave the episode..
Ashaji leaves and there is a screen shows - After two hours… Aditya announces the result and says Jeffery is eliminated..
Jeffery and Darshana are called on stage so mentors can choose who gets the sanjivani bhooti..
Aadesh, Pritam, Shankar says Jeffery.. Himesh - I would hurt either of them if I take the other name.. Darshana, you are a good singer.. I will go with Jeffery.. So Jeffery got the Sanjivani booti
Darshana - I am so happy I got to perform in front of these judges and Ashaji.. I got selected among the top 20 and got selected here as well.. It was a nice experience..
Sanjivani Bhooti performances
Performance by those who have got Sanjivani Bhooti.. One will be selected among the three…

Shashi Suman of Jai Ho gharana sings Naino ki mat maaniyo re.. Singer - Rahet Fateh Ali khan. MD - Vishal Bharadwaj..
Jeffery Iqbal of Lakshya gharana sings Parda hain Parda.. Singer - Mohommad Rafi..
Himesh - All three have sung very well.. If I have to give Shashi..
Shankar - Just to make it one all.. I will vote for Rashi..
Aadesh - The one who is deserving is, Shashi.. Im not saying this because he is of my gharana..
Pritam - I will choose Rashi as she is of my gharana..
Shankar - Aditya, you take the decision…
Himesh - Even I want that you take the decision as its transformed from Mahaguru to Guru and now its you who will have to take the decision..
Aditya - If you have given it to me, then I would like to consult with you all..
Aditya announces that Shashi gets the sanjivani bhooti.. Clap
Sashi - I became very excited.. Rashi sang very well, so I was very nervous..
Rashi - Whatever happens in life is for good.. I have learnt a lot in this stage..
Jeffery - I want to become a musician like you all… So, this was a great platform for me to get you all know better and make some contacts.. Maybe one day these singers will sing for me..
Shankar - Rashi, you have come under my scanner and I have stored in the database.. So, just watch out for me..
Aadesh - Shashi is a very good singer and he shouldnt have been here at all..
Rashi’s mother - I am really happy that she got this platform.. Its her dream to become a playback singer..

Just by reading the review, I think Jeffery’s elimination was decided by Aditya and the four gurus because the decision was made two hours later after Ashaji had left the stage …
Perhaps Ashaji felt that all three contestants (the guys) were deserving and therefore felt that there should be no elimination this round. This has happened in the little champs show, however the SRGMP team decided to proceed with the existing format.
Does this mean that Jeffrey is completely out of the show? He’s got a really good voice.
well Jeffery going out isnt really the problem jus that himesh cudnt get a clean sweep today but dharsha was rubbish and that there is no doubt abt it.im very dissapointed but im happy that pritams guy made it as hes gud.
Sashi did sing way much better than Jeffery and Rashi.
He certainly deserves to be in. I must admit that Rashi sang a very difficult song but I am Not a big fan of hers.
I’m not too crazy about the female contestants of SRGMP. All the guys are way much better.
Hi everyone.
Wich film is the song Fareed Ahmed song?
hi i am mahesh rathore
Hi Mahesh… wtf?
the gals arent too bad luck at mitika shes gud harjeet.
i meant to say luk at mitika shes brilliant
siddharth
I’m sure some of the girls are very good…but I don’t think they are as good as some of the guys. Being good or excellent is insufficient, one has to be outstanding. So far I really loved one of the girl’s performances (I don’t remember her name but she wore a dark brown salwar kameez and she sang Richa Sharma’s song, “Maula”).mitika sang an
Unconventional song…she’s an interesting character
Let’s see how well they all perform in the coming weeks. Be prepared to be surprised.
i dont disagree wid u at all harjeet as u r right about the guys being better than the gals this year.i was jus sayin that gals arent bad at all but i didnt say anythin abt whos beta between the genders.ofcourse if u makin comparisons then definately the guys at the moment are leadin in the pack but i hope the gals fite back aderwise competition becomes boring.hope himesh is able to make a clean sweep this week havin both male and female in.in himesh’s words jai mata di lets rock-rock the world.
