The theme “Aa dekhe zara kismet kitna hai dam …” was just apt for the face off round of K for Kishore. One contestant each from the Jhumroo team and Bangdoo team compete with each other to make it to the next round. At the end of this round two contestants with the lowest scores face elimination from the show which moves to its Gala rounds in the next phase of the competition.

The teams broke up into duets with Apoorva (he seems to be getting tons of mails from women admirers from all over ) and Kshtij, Vinod Seshadri and Chetan Rana, Chintan Bakiwala and Arnab forming the 3 teams in the first round. The solo numbers that were sung too had the audiences and judges asking for more. Apoorva’s heart rendering of Geet gata hoon main… Kshitij’s Tum bin jaoon kahan… Vinod’s Yeh kyaa hua… Chetan’s flawless rendering of Saanson se nahi, which was the best performance to say so, Arnab’s Roop tera mastana…and Chintan’s Dream girl…

This episode has another surprise for the viewers. Abhijeet Sawant, the first Indian Idol, makes his presence in the episode .He pepped up the environment with his energetic rendering of the all time popular number from film Don Khaike paan Benaras wala. Like Milind Ingle before him, has Abhijeet too entered the show as yet another Challenger?
