Idea Dhoom Macha De will see eleven of India's most popular and professional singers compete against one another for the title of the country's best LIVE performer.
Sapna Awasthi who sang 'Sun Saiba Sun' said, "I really like this song and love the way it has been sung. Lataji has sung it so effortlessly and with such simplicity that I would like to salute her! As I was given a chance to perform a song of a different style, I chose Sun Saiba Sun and decided to give it my best!"
Jassi who sang a ghazal titled Apne Jeevan Ka Andaaz Nirala Hain adds, "I chose to sing this ghazal because the lyrics are very meaningful. Also, the song conveys a strong social message. I thought it was the perfect platform for me to sing this song as the message would reach out to the whole country. I really enjoyed singing this ghazal, which is very different from my usual style and felt very peaceful after the performance!" Richa Sharma added, "I have sung songs for over sixty films, but never got a chance to sing a sexy number like Raat Akeli Hain. I like this song a lot, and when I was told about the "hatke" theme, I decided to sing it! I had a great time singing this track and I hope the television audiences also enjoy it!"
Devang Patel, who pleasantly surprised the judges with his choice
of song added, "I have been a fan of Mukesh since childhood. When I was
asked to sing a hatke song for the show, the first and obvious choice
was one of my favorite songs, 'Kabhie Kabhie'!" Says Suneeta Rao on her
performance, "I chose to sing the song 'Waqt' which is the title track
from my latest album. It is a combination of Carnatic music and
contemporary drum and bass. I chose to sing this song, because it's
very 'me', at the same time it's something I have never done before!"
Kamaal Khan who sang 'Zihaal e Maski' says, "This is one of my favorite songs as it has a mix of Persian lyrics! Performing on it was a totally different experience for me!" Adds pop singer Anaida, "The version of Fever, which I sing in the episode, is my all time favorite number! I really enjoyed singing it!"
Babul Supriyo says, "It is a great honour for a singer to sing a good song. I chose to sing Allah Ke Bande because I personally like the rendition of the guitar in the song and this song was very well rendered by my fellow colleague Kailash Kher. Taz who sang 'Dil Lena Khel Hain Dildar Ka' says," Initially there was a lot of anxiety , as this is not my style of song , but as I am a very confident person, I went ahead and gave it my best shot. The audience response was very good and I am very happy and content with my performance.
This show is judged by Indian cinema's most versatile and talented actress, Sharmila Tagore, ace music director Shankar Mahadevan and creative whiz, renowned lyricist and script writer Prasoon Joshi. This Thursday, watch these eleven singers show you what real talent is all about, as they don a brand new avatar and surprise you with their "Hatke" performances!
