Vaishali of rock gharana sings man saat samundar.. MD – Sandesh Sandilya.. Singer – Sunidhi Chauhan

Aditya says, today instead of flop, hit, superhit, history there is – Boundary and Sixer.. The song will be rated whether it was a boundary or sixer..

Aadesh – Energy was less.. Boundary

Pritam – You sang well, but energy level was less.. Boundary

Shankar – He asks her to sing the mukhda.. She sings with good energy.. He gives Boundary

Zaheer and Sara are called on stage.. Zaheer gets the 2nd topper position.. Aditya asks Himesh how he feels as both topper and 2nd topper are from his gharana..

Himesh – Topper and second topper, I am feeling at the top of the world..

Zaheer – There are two things which binds both India and Pakistan and that is cricket and music.. He requests the ICL representatives to join him on stage..

Zaheer of rock gharana sings Jee karda bhai jee karda.. The ICL representatives enjoy themselves on stage..

Aditya asks Zaheer to sing once again and the representatives to dance.. Himesh asks Pritam to also join the floor and dance.. Kapil dev and the other mentors also go on stage to enjoy the song.. Himesh asks all mentors to give a six..

Shankar – If he had only sung the song then I would have given you a boundary, but I will give a six for his rap..

Pritam gives 6

Aadesh – I will also give 6

Rohan – ICL has introduced a new rule that if a ball is hit out of the stadium, then we get 9.. So, I will give 9

Asma and Pratibha are called on stage.. Pratibha is dressed as cricket women.. Asma asks Kapil why is it that when you hit the ball, all the other 12 cricketers run behind the ball. Kapil asks Asma why is it that ur parents cook and u eat??

Pratibha of Lakshya gharana sings ni main yaar manani.. singer – Lata Mangeskar.. MD – Lakshmikant-Pyaarelal..

Kapil – Whether its 4 or 6, I believe that if one goes to the pitch, Final score should be 100

Pritam – I found the attachment less.. The confidence and energy was less – 3 runs

Pritam – You were almost there.. Four

Aadesh – You are a trained singer but you were not having breathe control – four

Pratibha says the contestants had gone to Himesh’s house and they returned back at 5 in the morning.. she was not well after that and had high fever but she had to sing..

Kapil Dev – Never look for excuse.. When you have come here, then dont give excuses – you should be giving 200% – If you cannot sing, then dont come here on stage..

Shankar – Keep working hard and do work on the breathe control.. You definitely are the contender for top position..

There is a AV shown where Tarun and Kaushik are accusing each other.. Kaushik says, Tarun has been teasing him because of his appearence.. Tarun says, Kaushik told him he is a bhajan singer and he shouldnt be there on this stage.. Shankar asks Kaushik to stop this and not bring it on television. Aditya says, this fight has gone so far that they dont even talk and if left this way, they will continue.. Shankar asks them to clear it out now.. It is not only Kaushik who accuses him but even yashita, Zaheer and Asma say he is very arrogent.. Yashita says, he abuses everyone and later on say “Jai Mata Di”.. Tarun asks apology to all the contestants.. Asma asks if he is asking from the heart or he is just saying for the sake of saying sorry.. Tarun is little rude even then and says, I always say Jai Mata Di and end the matter.. Thats what I will do now..

Aditya announces that Tarun is in bottom 3..

Himesh – I am feeling very bad.. He asks Tarun if he has anything to justify himself in front of these contestants.. Tarun has nothing to answer and says, he is what he is..

The director asks him to sing, but he refuses.. He says, he cant sing after all this.. He says, he wants to withdraw from the contest and leaves the stage.. Other contestants, director and mentors make him understand and he comes on stage..

Tarun of rock gharana sings chak de phatte.. Bapi-Tutul.. Singer – Kailash Kher.. The audience ask for once more.. Aditya tries to continue with the show, but due to demands he is forced to stop and Tarun starts singing.

Shankar – I will give a 6

Aadesh – This was your best performance till date.. 6

Pritam – I will give 9

    Thank God Himesh did not speak much.
    Remember when Avhishek came he said First of all, you are the NUMBER ONE Amitabh Bachchan’s son.I thought he will also say “You are Aishwarya’s NUMBER ONE husband!”

      Lol Rajdeep @ Aishwarya’s no 1 husband.. Himesh these days is not speaking much.. BTW – he is unwell.. Seems he has caught cold and is suffering from fever.. Maybe too much of stress due to Karz promotions..

          I do really believe that all the SMS results are rigged … ZeeTV does according to whatever planning they have done … they are fooling people only to get the SMS revenue …

          Naina was a great singer, sorry, naina IS a great singer and i wish her all the best in indian idol … Zee management probably told her about the plan of her elimination and she is taking her chances in indian idol … i wish she becomes the next indian idol … as she really has that potential …

                I haven’t watched the episode.But then again, when Anu’s update is there, it’s like watching the show live. Gr8 as usual Anu. Naina did not deserve to go so soon.

                    One thing is for sure, song selection leaves a lot to be desired, most of these songs being sung already have been done to death in other reality shows.
