Written on August 8, 2008 – 9:58 pm | by admin |

Today is second week of second Chakravyuh round of Saregamapa Challenge 2009. Today’s theme is Pritam’s songs. The show begins with Pritam playing a guitar.. He then starts starting zara si dil mein le jagah du. Then he sings singh is king title song. The stage has few cutouts of the movie Metro and RACE. He then sings Allah duhai hain, kismat konnection song, hare ram hare krishna song and ends the performance..

Aditya says, all of his songs are superhit and he sang all of his superhit songs and thanks him for that.. Himesh - All of his songs are superhit, As a person he is superhit, And all his upcoming works are superhit.. We pray that this superhit chain should not break…

Aadesh - Pritam, you are marvelous.. You have given great songs.. Himesh - You should start singing yourself… Aadesh also agrees to it and say, you should give one song with your voice… Himesh - You will definitely have to sing… Pritam - As SRGMP is where we take oath, I will take an oath that I will sing one song… Shankar - I will say in terms of Himeshji’s words… Absolutely fabulous, fantastic, mindblowing and superb…

Aditya says, last week we had Ravinder Jain with us to judge in terms of Music director and this time we have Khayyamji with us… He welcomes Khayyamji to the show..

Kavitaji - I respect Khayyamji a lot and I dont think I deserve to sit.. So, I will ask for an apology before in hand..

Aditya says, we have many tidbits of Pritam which we have written as a book and named it as Pritam Puran.. Pritam asks Aditya to give out the book.. He says we will open it one by one… Aditya asks everyone to give him applause…

Performance by Dhoom Gharana:

Debojit Dutta sings Alvida from metro.. MD - Pritam.. Singers - KK..

Prachi Shah sings Akhiyan na maar meri yaar mundiya… Singers - Sunidhi Chauhan.. MD - Pritam..

Comments:

Khayyam - It is good that this is stage performance.. But Concentrate on sur..
Kavitaji - You were involved in the song, but you must also concentrate on the sur.. Its ok, there is always a scope for improvement

Aadesh - You got involved.. That is the best part..

Himesh - When one always performs well, then one tends to sing with lot of energy. that energy was there, but you need to reduce the energy level a bit.. Without confidence, Debojit is incomplete.. So, maintain that confidence.. Do reduce your energy a bit. Prachi, you were good and your connection with audience was good..

Shankar - There was a raspiness in the song.. The part where there is a scale change in the anthra was the highlight for me.. You did it very well.. I totally agree with Himeshji regarding the energy part.. Prachi, Your calibre is 10 times more than this..

Pritam - Debojit, I have taken into this gharana, after hearing you singing Alvida.. Soul was missing.. I always felt like giving you the song to sing… Prachi, You were loosing breathe in between… Next time, do well…

Aditya says, Pritamji always forgets things… He even forgets that he had his food or not.. Once it happened that without knowing he was having a mobile, he threw the mobile from 7th floor… All have a great laugh..

Pritam says I was talking on mobile and saw a caterpillar on my curtains.. I took the caterpillar in the paper and instead of throwing the caterpillar, I threw the mobile LOL Himesh says, He is so forgetful that he said he will give one hit song after another in a movie and the movie name is Bhool Bhulaiyah…

Jai Ho Gharana performance..

Aditya says, Asma got eliminated last time.. So, asks who would he take from the Eklavya gharana.. Aadesh says, he would like to listen to Deepali and Medha and then will decide whom to take..

Deepali Sathe sings Yeh ishq haaye from Jab we met.. Singer - Shreya Ghosal..

Medha Krishna sings Billo Rani.. Singer - Richa Sharma and Anand Raj Anand..

Aadesh asks Shankar, Pritam and Himesh to help him with it..

Shankar - Both are good and are working hard.. Deepali sang a soft song and Deepali had a great response from the audience.. But we dont know with what should we go for.. Probably, Pritam should help us with it..

Pritam - We have two aspects here, one is performance and the other is singing.. But we will have to choose singing first.. We should go for Deepali on the long run..

So, Deepali gets into Jai Ho gharana..

Shashi Suman sings labon ko labon pe sajao… singer - KK.. MD - Pritam..

Comments:

Shankar - He is one who can sing pop very well, even though he has classical harkatein in his voice.. So, he is a very versatile singer.. He asks Shashi to sing 2 lines of classical.. Shashi sings Saaware.. Kavita liked the performance a lot..

Himesh - I felt in some places you were extremely good and in other places you were not good at all..

Anurag says, I would like to challenge Shashi.. I am from Eklavya gharana.. If Shashi had not got the sanjivani bhooti, then Anurag would have been part of Jai ho gharana..

Anurag sings halka halka sa yeh nasha.. Singers - Sonu and Sunidhi.. Challenge for Shashi..

Shashi - I loved it.. He sang very well..

Shankar - You have to work on pitching.. keep working on that..

Pritam - We cant judge you based on one performance.. Anurag - I wanted to sing Jaane kya chahe mann, but it was already taken and as its your own theme, I couldnt sing that..

Himesh - We give you 90 seconds to sing and you perform Jaane Kyaa chahe mann.. You shouldnt feel that you didnt get a fair chance.. So, sing the song..

He sings jaane kyaa chahe mann..

Shankar - Anurag, good attempt but personally I want Shashi to come..
Himesh - You definitely should work on your pitching.. So, I guess Shashi should be in..
Aadesh - I like your spirit.. If you dont challenge, then there is no spirit in it.. I loved that.. Keep performing..

Aditya says, Pritamji used to compose songs during college and was a member of the band called Chandrabindu… He composed a song in bengali which is a famous hindi song now.. He sings the song… The song in hindi is Resham si hain yeh hawayein sanam… Pritam says. I have to take away Pritam Puran from you.. Aditya says, Pritam was also a social worker.. Pritam says.. I used to organize blood donation camp.. Lastly, I used to give blood.. I used to loose my senses as I cant stand blood…

Himesh says, Pritam is a very romantic word.. So, tell us some romantic incident as well in his life.. Aditya says, we have his Friends and family with us who is there to tell us about him..

His wife sweta, his sister Sangeeta and his friend Sanjay comes on stage..

Aditya asks Sanjay to share something about Pritam.. He says, I dont know much about his romantic journey, but I know that the dhoom tune was made in kitchen.. Shankar asks Sweta, Pritamji, kitchen mein dhoom mein machate hain??

Sweta says. He cant fill even a glass of water.. Pritam says, I make maggi.. Shankar says, You have got the sweetest person as your person.. Pritam goes up on stage to talk about his kid.. He says, he is very lucky boy… When we got the news that Sweta is conceived, Dhoom became a hit.. Then everything followed.. They are my pillars.. Sweta, has always been through my thick and thins… My Sister Sangeeta is also my guru.. Sanjay is my childhood friend.. Whenever I am in difficulty, I know he is always with me.. I am missing my mom and dad.. I am here because of them.. His parents have sent a message for him.. Its shown in an AV.. His mother says, He used to play guitar with the stick of the door… He had the passion for music.. She says, he wanted to become a musician long back, but due to his father’s illness, it could not be done.. SRGMP is a big platform for upcoming singers.. Pritam says, I feel so special.. He says Aditya, I would like to hug you for this..

Kavitaji - Kamaal.. A big applause for you..

Shankar - You were totally flat from the starting till end..

Pritam - You sang well, but You should increase the tempo when you are singing..

Shankar - In just 15 seconds, we can get to know how capable you are as a singer.. But you need to improve a lot..

Kavitaji - In 15 seconds even I could easily judge you.. When you go into the recording studio, you should have a confidence in your.. Lataji has not become a singer just like that..

Khayyam - Just listen to what your mentors say, then you can reach the top..

Aditya talks about the waaris serial and calls Iqbal and Shilpa on stage..

Iqbal and Shilpa come on stage.. Iqbal says, It is a family story where every character is trying to do something.. The way of income is different and even the ladies in the family know about it.. The serial is to find a successor for the business and to know all this, just keep watching waaris..
