MUMBAI:
It is the 8th Gala Round on Indian Idol. The contestants are now
gearing up for the final lap. They are working hard on their songs
and the result is showing. To commend their efforts and to encourage
them to do their best was present actor–producer Anil Kapoor
who made a grand surprise entry. His film as producer Gandhi
My Father is perfectly timed to the Independence Day celebrations
just around the corner. Anil was in great spirits. After all it
is not every day that a film gets such heart-warming response from
the media and box-office too!
 The
surprise guest on the show inspired the contestants too. With Independence
Day round the corner the contestants are all set to rock the nation
with their patrioticism. Deepali gave a great start to the gala
round dedicated to patriotic songs with Dhol bajne laga which
had Annu Malek pronouncing her a worthy contender to the title.
Anil Kapoor confessed he got gooseflesh with Amit Paul's rendition
of Yeh jo des hai mera from Swades. Chang, who has been nicknamed
Chingu Mingu by Alisha, won her heart with Baar baar haan
… from Lagaan. Incidentally, Chang had an opportunity to visit
an NGO and teach the little inmates the importance of dental care
how to brush their teeth right! Emon once again rocked the show
with his flawless performance. He sang Yehi rasta hai tera
from Lakshya making it very clear to his competition that he means
business .Annu Malek pronounced it as a hallmark of a great singer.
Anil Kapoor gave full marks to Ankita for her rendition of the title
track of Phir bhi dil hai Hindustani . Not happy with that she had
him on stage shaking a leg too. But the surprise packet of the evening
was Prashant whose Zindagi maut na ban jaaye came straight
from the heart and had Annu Malek doffing his hat to the best performer
of the day.
 Carried
away by all the singing Anil Kapoor displayed his singing prowess
too by singing Dil diya hai jaan bhi denge from his film
Karma. Surprises never ceased on this show. Yet another guest descended
on stage in the midst of all the singing and dancing. Ajay Jadeja
came, saw, danced and left after some sound piece of advice to all
the contestants.
