MUMBAI:
Amul Star Voice of India Chhote Ustaad is going from strength to
strength. Never has a Chhote Ustaad episode had as much fun in any
of its prior episodes as the one coming up on February 1, 2008.
Great singing matched by scintillating performances, arguing judges
, a soulful performance by Ila Arun and then a grand climax in true
Indian style with more song, dance, fun and laughter with Bhojpuri
Superstar Manoj Tiwari singing Holi songs like Rang Barse and Ang
se ang lagana on the onset of Faagun.
For
the first time in Chhote Ustaad, contestants sang songs based on
folk music from various regions. If the boys sang brilliantly then
the girls outdid them with ease.
Anvesha
set the mood for the evening with Morni Baga Mein naache from Lamhe
which brought back cherished memories of Ila Arun and Lata Di singing
this track for Sridevi. Vyom Kapoor looked every bit his on screen
counterpart when he sang the Ghana na Ghan from Lagaan. Sonia gave
a dumdaar performance with Dumadum Mast kalandar.
When
Aishwarya, looking like a million bucks, sang Nimbooda nimbooda
Ila Arun aptly described it in Hindi as "baat nimbu ki khattas
ki lekin gaane mein bahut mithaas thi" .Prakriti's rendition
of dayya re dayya re..bichuwa had audiences groove in excitement;
while the usually perfect Areeb Khan failed to mesmerize the judges.
What will be his fate? Will he stand a chance in Chhote Ustaad against
tough competitors like Aishwarya, Anvesha, Sonia, Vyom and Prakriti?
Will he or wont he make the cut?
The
verdict will be out Friday, February 1 at 10 pm on Chhote Ustaad
only on Star Plus.
