Special Episode in Liew of Coming Republic Day

The special ‘Indian Idol 4′ episode will air this Friday on 23rd January , 2009 and as usual the eliminations will be on 24th January 2009 .

Btw It will be a first such instance on a reality show wherein a music of a mainstream bollywood film will be released. For the first time ever the music of a film will be launched on the sets of “Indian Idol 4”. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Sonam Kapoor will release the music of their much awaited film “Delhi-6” on the sets of Indian Idol. Why Indian Idol? “There is no show like Indian Idol and when you watch the film you will understand why we chose to unveil the music on this platform,” explained director Rakeysh Mehra. “My character in the film dreams of achieving her goal in the world of music and will be an inspiration to all these contestants,” said Sonam between giggles.

Inspired by the special celebrities… the contestants gave it all in their performances. The episode, a Republic Day special, had all the contestants sing patriotic songs. If Rajdeep sang “Mera rang de basanti”, then Prasenjit chose “Suno gaur se duniyawaalo”, while Torsha picked the vintage “Vande Mataram” and young Remo decided to pay tribute to Gandhiji with “Bande mein tha dum”. Sourabhee paid her respects with “I love my India”, and Kapil flaunted his army background with “Kar chale hum fida”. It was truly a musical bonanza with new singer Mohit Chauhan singing “Masakali Masakali” to Sonam’s groovy moves and the grand finale featuring a jugalbandi between Javed Ali and Kailash Kher.

 Let us wait and see how they performs and who gets eliminated on 24 of January.  I think it will be the turn of Torsha Sarkar this time. Let us see if I am right about elimination of Torsha from Indian Idol.
