01x10 - Sangeet Samrat

Post by bunniefuu »

Why did you hide this fact from me?

I didn't want to hide.

But there was nothing to say.

Do you still love him?

Do you think that

have I cheated on you?

That's not the answer

to my question.

Sir, I am sorry, sir.

It won't happen again, sir.

We're sorry, sir.

We will return the money.

- And never

- How much have you gathered so far?

Sir

19,700

What's the rate?

Sir, 25 paise on

you and 3-1 for Radhe.

Here is 20,000

Put it all on me.

And reduce the rate to ten

Otherwise,

you'll go broke paying everyone.

And focus

on your practice.

Papa

Papa, we need you.

Papa, I can understand

what you're going through.

You're still a kid.

Go.

Go.

Papa, we can solve

personal differences later.

Right now we must

think about our family

What family?

A father

who always thought

I was good for nothing.

A brother

whose existence doesn't matter.

You

have you ever given

any respect to your father?

Tell me.

All this was bearable

because I always thought

that Mohini was by my side.

She loves me. Takes care of me.

Respects me.

But

Go away

Leave

Guys we are really

wasting time on bullshit.

Does anyone have any actual idea?

There's this event in

Jodhpur it's very interesting.

It's called Sangeet Samrat.

It's basically Indian

Idol for classical music

but very exotic and posh.

But such obscure regional

events can't be our cover story.

No, ma'am.

This isn't just a regional event.

In fact this year it's getting

a lot of media attraction.

We can get exclusive

inside access.

Because the nephew

is Tamanna's friend Radhe.

Masked man.

I have already thought of a title.

Uncle-Nephew,

wait and watch for the outcome.

In case, you haven't noticed

we are not some tabloid.

Anyway you guys

are clearly not prepared.

I need better ideas by tomorrow

morning for our cover story.

- Okay ma'am.

- Thank you ma'am.

- Have a nice day.

- Have a lovely day ma'am.

Are you okay?

Of course.

That's all in the past, Mom.

In fact, we can get a really

good cover story on Sangeet Samrat.

Don't overlook it because of me.

I think I should get back to work.

Have a good day, ma'am.

Ishwalkar,

can you please come with me?

We've tested four percussion players.

And two Pakhawaj player.

And none of them are

We're running out of time, mother.

We can never do this without father.

Is everyone in your family

taking the oath of silence?

Is your mother helping your practice

or still making you sweep the floors?

Look, buddy, honestly speaking

no one cares a

damn about your f*ck up.

Babloo

Do you know what is Sangeet Samrat?

What?

Masked man?

Yes

- Radhe, of course.

- Yes.

Go get my order.

You're still

You're still thinking of Tamanna.

Now you're going to sulk

about your unsuccessful love.

She must be sleeping

around with a dozen guys

Shut up!

You have never achieved

anything in life yourself

but all you do

is give free advice.

Brother

it's piping hot.

Stick it in my a*s.

Hi, Kabir.

Please come to Jodhpur, Tamanna

Radhe's screwed

I mean he's in big trouble.

What do you mean?

What's wrong with him?

Something really bad

is happening in his family.

They have stopped

talking to each other.

Practice sessions

have stopped for good.

It's the Sangeet Samrat

Without you, he'll be in big trouble.

Please come down.

Only you can save him now.

Panditji

Rajenderji

Please come in.

Radhe.

Highness is very

keen on this event.

Let's go.

I'll go tell Highness that

we can't take part in this event.

Radhe.

You've worked hard, but

But how?

The event is tomorrow.

The longer we take, the more

embarrassment we'll have to face.

We should hand over this

family to Digvijay ourselves.

Wait.

If Digvijay was worthy

of this family

then I would have passed

it down to him myself.

Rajender

Mohini is not at fault.

Gopinath your daughter

has won my heart by defeating me.

I

I want her

to become the

daughter-in-law of my family.

By getting her married

to my son Rajender.

Well, Panditji

receiving a proposal from

a great artist's family like you

is a matter of honor.

But please forgive me

We don't belong to the same caste

nor are we as wealthy

and prosperous as you are.

On one end you call me Panditji,

and on the other

you're punishing

me for being a Kshatriya.

No Panditji, pardon me

And as for wealth

It's useless if it can't

come to the aide of our people.

I know you're going

through a bad phase.

I even heard that you've been

served a notice to vacate this home.

Your ancestral home where

your daughter was born

her mother took her last breath

Leaving all this behind

and moving into a rented home

The very thought of it upsets me.

I can help you out of you want.

Greetings, Panditji.

The father of Queen

of Music in my home.

Welcome.

You are embarrassing me.

Please

Yes

So

They love each other, Panditji.

Mohini just told me.

And Digvijay is your older son.

So if you can

let Mohini marry

him instead of Rajender

I must admit you're very brave

You told your father

about your feelings

and also challenged

your lover's guru.

I encouraged her, Panditji.

When I heard her sing, I knew

that she should be compared

to the best of singers.

With your blessings

then Mohini shall make

this family proud as my wife.

My blessings are with you two.

But there is a difficulty,

Gopinath.

I cannot help you save your house.

The money I was going to give you

belonged to my

other wife Gayatri's.

And it can only be given

to her son Rajender and his wife.

I am just a keeper of this wealth.

Love cannot be

compared with money

but the decision

lies in your hands now.

If Digvijay and

Mohini got married

then I could've never

stopped her from singing.

And I would have

regretted all my life

that she sings better than me.

Rajender, Mohini has

always fulfilled

her duties as your wife.

She never told you anything

so that you don't

hate your father.

I snatched her music from her

and yet she is

struggling to save ours.

Dear

I am not even capable

of apologizing.

I can't forgive myself

for what happened

if you

can forgive this

old man for his jealousy

then please forgive me.

Enough.

Mohini.

Come

have dinner with us.

Please sit, sister-in-law.

An artist's duty is to unite hearts.

I learned that from you.

Our family

is safe in your hands.

Who do you think will win

between your son and grandson.

Please tell us, sir.

Sir, who is going to win

between your son and grandson?

Sir, this time in the event

I would like to request everyone

Will you guys please spread out?

I need the whole area.

This is streaming live.

We're about to begin

the Sangeet Samrat Event.

Today's even will be live

streamed for the first time.

People from all around the

world are going to watch it live.

Those who upload photos and videos on

Facebook and Instagram of this event

I would like to thank His Highness on

behalf of the residents of Jodhpur.

Sir, one photo please.

Their family have been organizing

this event for many years

Please friends, no flash photography

during the on-going event.

And switch your mobiles

to silent mode.

Standby on High Highness. Hold

Standby on High Highness.

Standing-by, Standing-by,

Over, waiting for instructions, over.

Go on to Trumpet.

- All the best!

- Go, go, right now.

- k*ll it! Go on to Trumpet.

- Go, go, go

Your Highness, let's go.

I would like to welcome His

Highness on behalf of everyone.

Welcome.

Greetings, Highness.

But in Indian Music,

Guru holds the highest position.

And now with a huge round of

applause, I would like to invite

Pandit Radhemohan Rathore.

I would first like to introduce

our three expert judges.

Pt. Shankar Joshi.

Ustad Zafar Ali Khan.

And Padmashri Jayanti Iyer.

Please give them a

huge round of applause.

Your Highness

with your permission we would

like to begin with our first round.

Thank you.

Our first round,

meaning Instrumental Round.

A unique harmony of

singing and instruments.

So please give a huge round of

applause for Mr. Digvijay Rathore.

It's just show-off.

All these instruments can only

fool the audience, not the judges.

Uncle, did you bring the Devlin.

Yes, it's in the car.

Great. I'll go fetch it.

But

We've practiced on the

Sarangi in the past months

you might end

up ruining everything.

We won't win if we play fair.

We'll have to try something

unique to grab their attention.

Wonderful, Mr. Digvijay.

You presented an already

popular folk tune

in your Bikaneri House style

and with separate instruments.

This was definitely an magnificent

confluence of voice and tune.

Next I would like to invite

on stage Radhe and his family.

A big round of applause for them,

friends.

Bravo, Radhe. Bravo.

You presented such a difficult

tune with so much ease.

The way you sing

is a specialty of the Rathore family

which you have done justice to.

I would like to invite Mr.

Digvijay Rathore

along with Radhe and his family, so

our judges can announce their decision.

Judges, over to you.

It was a wonderful performance.

Rajender, it was a pleasure watching

you perform after all these years.

And Devender,

what was that instrument?

I call it the Audlin.

It's a form of Sarangi

I hope you liked it.

It was interesting

but this competition is

about pure Indian classical music.

And I feel using

the Audlin wasn't right.

And Mr. Digvijay, your voice

and presentation blew me away.

So my vote goes to Pt. Digvijay.

Classical music is

known for its music

and not by the instrument.

If one can play Karnatak

music on a violin

then why can't Audlin

be used in Indian classical music.

My vote goes to Radhe.

Digvijay, I was in awe to see you.

So were the audience.

And in Radhe and his

family's performance

it seemed like voice

and music had united as one.

It's a difficult task for

me to choose a winner of this round.

My heart says one thing,

and my mind says another.

But my vote goes to

Radhe!

So with that the winner of

our first round is Radhe Rathore.

Don't stop clapping.

It's time we moved

on to the second round.

Both the contestants

can make a presentation

in their favorite emotion.

As the winner of our first round,

I am inviting Radhe on stage

to come up and present

his favorite "Emotion".

I will try to present "Thumri"

created by Pt. Radhemohan Rathore

in "Shringaar Rasa".

Radhe.

Bravo, Radhe.

The thumri created by Pt.

Radhemohan Rathore

you presented it in

Shringaar Rasa so well

that you made us all

fall in love with you.

A big round of applause, friends.

Thank you, Radhe.

Now I would like to invite Mr.

Digvijay on stage.

And request him to

make his favorite

presentation in his

favorite emotion or "Rasa".

Come.

Viraah.

Wonderful. Wonderful, Mr. Digvijay.

Your presentation really

mesmerized all of us.

I am inviting both

the contestants on stage

for the results

of the second round.

Now judges, over to you.

Sir

Silence speaks more in

volumes compared to applause

which marks the

greatness of any artist.

We three judges unanimously vote Pt.

Digvijay

the winner of this round.

And with that the winner of the

second round is Mr. Digvijay Rathore.

A big round of applause

for Digvijay Rathore.

Friends, this competition

has taken an interesting turn.

Both the contestants

have won one round each.

Ladies and gentlemen it's a tie.

Now we'll move to

our tie-breaker round.

I mean towards the Jugal-Bandi.

As the winner of the second round,

Mr. Digvijay

you can choose your favorite

Raga and Bandish (Rendition).

And Radhe,

you will try to match with him.

Wow a big round of applause,

friends.

Our new Sangeet Samrat

is Radhe Rathore.

I am not worthy of

being compared to you.

I respect you and your music.

You won the day

but this Gharana belongs to me,

and I shall have it.

I am your uncle.

Take my blessings.

All these musicians deserve

a big round of applause.

They made this evening

a memorable one.

We had heard mentions of

Raag Malhar in old stories..

But today we were fortunate

enough to witness it here

The thundering clouds

I could've never sung

like this if it wasn't for you.

No.

You would've sung

just as brilliantly.

You're absolutely phenomenal, Radhe.

I've fallen in love

with music all over again

thanks to you.

Now nothing can stop

us from singing together.

Bandish Bandits is back.

No.

I am leaving, Radhe.

I have enrolled myself

in a music school.

I am going to start

from the beginning.

No shortcuts, no auto-tune.

I was tired of my mediocrity.

Now I want to be

a real talent like you.

I would like to invite on stage

our esteemed judges

Radhe.

Yes

Wait here, okay.

I'll be right back.

A big round of applause for our

new Sangeet Samrat Radhe Rathore.
