 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.
Says
Jaspinder Narula who performed on the tapori number, Chodhna
Chodhna Re, “I was very nervous and unsure before my performance,
but once I got on stage, I just decided to give it my best shot!
The judges and audience enjoyed it so much, that they asked me to
perform once more!”
Speaking
about his performance, Baba Sehgal said, “I had a great time
performing for this episode where all the artists were supposed
to sing different genre of music! I sang ‘Taarein Zameen
Par’ as I love the song and my son insisted I sing 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!”
 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!”
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! Tune in to Idea
Dhoom Macha De this 7 February at 8:30 pm only on NDTV Imagine.
