Indian Idol is back with some familiar faces and a new musical competition. This time the show has brought together singers who have already been part of its journey in earlier seasons. But returning to the same stage does not mean the competition will be easy.

Indian Idol: Legends Return is giving these singers another chance to prove their talent. The latest episode, which aired on October 24, brought some strong performances and a close race between the contestants.

Salman Ali and Mohd Danish had one of the biggest moments of the episode as they scored a perfect 110 out of 110. Subhajit Chakraborty and Bidipta Chakraborty also received full marks, making the competition even more interesting.

Viewers can watch the show on Sony LIV.

Salman Ali and Mohd Danish Score Full Marks

Salman Ali and Mohd Danish have been among the strongest performers this season. Both singers have already made a name for themselves through their earlier appearances on Indian Idol.

Their performance in the October 24 episode earned them 110 out of 110 marks. This perfect score helped them stay at the top of the leaderboard with a total of 219 points.

The duo has shown that working together can make a big difference in this competition. Their singing and understanding of music have helped them stay ahead of the other contestants.

However, the competition is far from over. Other singers are also putting up strong performances and the gap between the top duos is still small.

Subhajit Chakraborty and Bidipta Chakraborty Also Get 110 Marks

Salman and Danish were not the only duo to score full marks. Subhajit Chakraborty and Bidipta Chakraborty also received 110 out of 110 in the latest episode.

Their score took their total to 217 points, keeping them in second place on the leaderboard.

Devender Pal Singh and Mayuri Saha are in third place with 215 points. This means the top three duos are separated by only a few points.

The latest leaderboard stands as follows

  • Salman Ali and Mohd Danish with 219 points
  • Subhajit Chakraborty and Bidipta Chakraborty with 217 points
  • Devender Pal Singh and Mayuri Saha with 215 points
  • Manraj Veer Singh and Manasi Ghosh with 207 points
  • Tanishk Shukla and Myscmme Bosu with 204 points
  • Abhijeet Sawant and Chetna Bhardwaj with 188 points

These scores show how quickly the competition can change. One strong performance can help a duo move ahead while a small difference in marks can affect their position.

Himesh Reshammiya Adds Fun to the Episode

Apart from the singing performances the latest episode also had a funny moment involving judge Himesh Reshammiya.

When the discussion turned to Amit Sana's marks Himesh responded with a shayari of his own. The moment made the contestants laugh and brought a lighter mood to the episode.

Himesh is judging the returning singers as they compete in pairs. The show also gives the contestants a role in scoring each other's performances.

This format makes things more interesting because the singers are not only performing on stage. They are also watching their competitors closely and deciding how many marks each performance deserves.

What Makes Indian Idol Legends Return Different?

The new season brings back singers from different seasons of Indian Idol. Some of them won their seasons while others reached the final stages of the competition.

Now they are returning with more experience and a chance to show how much they have grown as singers.

The first phase brings 24 returning contestants together in 12 duos. They compete through performances and peer scoring, with Himesh Reshammiya also having the power to cut marks from the scores.

The format is different from a regular singing competition where contestants perform individually and wait for the judges to announce the results.

It also gives viewers a chance to see familiar singers in new partnerships. Some duos have worked well together while others still need to find the right balance.

The show will later move to a second phase where the winning duo will become mentors for new singers during auditions.
