Winner: Idea SaReGaMaPa Little Champs - Zee Marathi
Kartiki Gaikwad
KARTIKI GAIKWAD is declared as a winner of “Idea Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Little Champs – Zee Marathi.” After six months of high quality entertainment show came to an end yesterday. I am little disappointed and shocked with the result as I wasn’t expecting Kartiki Gaikwad to win the show. Actually I thought she will be last option to be a winner but having said that I don’t mean she is least deserving candidate. She deserve to be a winner, she had it in her from the start. She has talent, she has outwardness required for any performer. She has no inhibitions while performing. She is more mature for her age. And she came for rural area so she will be good medium for Zee Marathi and sponsors of the show to reach the people in rural areas and expand their consumers. She will be good ambassador for her father’s music and folk songs of Maharshtra like Bhajans, Bharud, Lavani etc. which were getting lost in filmy music. So she will be good ambassador for Marathi people from rural areas. She will be new hope for them. So it is win – win situation for all.
Kartiki is surely on a right way, going for successful career. I just hope she does not lose her focus from singing and always remembers that she is a singer first. I think she will also get wild card entry in Hindi Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Little champs. And she also should win that competition hands down like Vaishali Made another winner from the platform of Marathi Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.
As for other finalist everyone thinks they all are winners and they have glorious future ahead for themselves. I think Arya, Rohit and Prathmesh were expecting to be a winner but credit to them that they did not show any disappointment on the stage. These kids are quick learners. As for Mugdha I don’t think she or her parents was expecting a win. But she is a darling of Maharashtra already and will be remembered already.
You know what the show was organized on the ground right next to my house but I wasn’t having passes, I had to seat at home and watch it on TV. But we can here the fireworks when winner was announced. I was little disappointed with the Grand finale show, it was as entertaining as it should be or it could be. I would have really liked it if last 10 finalists had performed also. But it was nice to hear from Shriniwas Khale one of the greatest. This is one best thing about Zee Marathi that they bring these Greats.
I am happier that Zee TV will be coming out with a VCD of the show but I wish they just don’t accumulate songs of these five kids but all the best songs performed in last six months by everyone. Then they are doing one music album with the five finalists. So I am eagerly waiting for that, let us see how they do when they have to sing their own new song. Zee Marathi also declared new concept for next Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. This time the competition is among the professional singers. So it will be exciting show. I am more than curious to see which singers are participating and who will be judging them.

Grand Finale: SaReGaMaPa Little Champs - Zee Marathi
Zee Marathi Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Little Champs
The most loved and appreciated Television Show at least for Marathi is coming to an end. After six amazing months of heavenly music performed by little angels sent by the God, it is going to end this coming Sunday. On this coming Sunday of 8 Feb 2009 there will be Grand Finale of “Idea Sa Re Ga Ma Pa – Little champs” a show on a Zee Marathi which used to occupies our hour or two on every Monday and Tuesday. And after this Sunday we are going to miss this show and these kids big time. Although the show won’t be there anymore it will last in our memory for lifetime. On this occasion I will again like to request Zee Marathi to release the DVD of the show as soon as possible. If the DVD never comes what we can do is record the show when there will be re-telecast for the best moments of the show.
Although I am little sad that show is ending, I am super excited too for the Grand Finale and Grand performances of these Little Champs. Then I am sure other participants of the show will also perform, so it will be bonus to watch them perform again. I am not going to miss the show for anything. If anyone of you have favorite among five of them it is your last chance to vote. If you don’t know how to vote, don’t have idea number or living outside India there is another way to vote. Just login to this link http://www.zeemarathi.com/SRGMPLittleChamps2008/default.htm and vote for your favorite contestant. If you are confused whom to vote you can go on to vote for all of them. Ideally that will be the best option. But let’s consider all the option i.e. all the contestants.
Mugdha Vainshmpayan: She is fantastic and God gifted singer. At her age whatever she is doing is simply miraculous. She has such good accent which is really hard to find any grown up Marathi speaking people. She is the youngest of all the contestants and certainly the most innocent of them. This innocence of her makes her favorite among older generation. She is expected to get lots of vote. My calculations tell me that she will be rank in top two according to the public vote. It must be the reason; Zee Marathi introduced the system five juries in the end. As they afraid that Mugdha will walk away with the crown because of her popularity. She is great singer but it will be big burden for her if she wins at this age. Imagine she has to attend so many functions, awards, Interviews after that. It will be just too much for her. She already look little tired of all this. Chances of her winning are little as of now unless she again comes up with miraculous performance on the day. My favorite song sung by her was “Are Are Diwatya”. It sounds amazing and divine from her mouth.
Kartiki Gaikwad: A fantastic singer, one who always perform new songs or rather songs which are not that 
popular but when she sings them, it became favorite for many and they go on to look for that song. She has style of her own; she sings every song in her own way. Her rustic, raw voice touches many hearts. She is going to be a big name in music industry if she does not lose focus in future. Many thinks she has been promoted by Zee Marathi more than others, I also feel so but we can’t deny that the girl has immense talent. She had given many unforgettable performances on this platform. She will be one of the favorites for the juries also. Although she is about same age of Mugdha, contrary to her she is ready to be winner and enter in the glamorous world. But I think she is also the one among all five who can lose her head and focus because of this glamour. My favorite song sung by her was “Reshamachya Reghani”
Rohit Raut: He is an ultimate performer; whenever he is on stage he captures the stage. He is most confident kid I ever seen. He has not got enough appreciation for his performance compare to other finalists which he surely deserves. He is the one who rather than going by safer route by performing classic melodious songs choose to sing latest songs. Which I think wasn’t done by anyone in the all of the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Marathi Shows. He might not come out as a winner on Sunday; if he does it will be a big shock for me. But in coming future he is going to be a Superstar of not only Maharshtra but whole India. He should not lose focus. He lost his Sur many times while trying to perform extraordinarily if he can keep tab on that no one can stop him. My favorite song sung by him was “Zabardast”, it was really Zabardast. I was never fond of that song before I heard it from him; he made me liking that song.
Arya Aambekar: She is the most versatile of the all finalist only Shamika Bhide in overall competition was as 
versatile as her. She is my personal favorite. I think she will be ideal winner of the show as she can sing good melodies, she can sing Natyasangit, she van sing very well in Hindi too. I think as per the jury she will rank in top two. And she has big chances of win unless she goofs up big time. She has good personality to represent as a winner. Even if she does not win this show she will surely be a playback singer in next two three years. I think she might get offers immediately after the show. But she has the strongest competition from Prathmesh. Technically she is not as good as him but she is a complete package rather than being good at any one area. Best song of her I think was “Pan Khaye Sainya Hamro”. I wish she wins.
Prathmesh Laghate: He is strongest the contender for the title if we consider technical aspect. He has given 
some unbelievable performances on the show. He is the one who raise the bar of quality of the show to the top notch. He won best performers award maximum time on the show. If the winner has to be selected only on the opinions of juries he will be ultimate winner without any doubts unless he goofs on the final day really badly. Although everyone thinks he is not versatile enough and sings only Shastriya and Naty Sangit very well. He had also performed well with songs like “Galavar Khali” and “Mi hai koli”. Only thing with him is that he enjoys and prefers the Natysangit and Shastriya Sangit more. Choosing best song sung by him is difficult “Aatach amrutachi” , “Hridaychya Talavar”, “Pahile na mi Tula”and all the songs actually.

"Little Angels - Sa Re Ga Ma Pa"
Little Angels
Last time I wrote article about “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Little champ– Marathi”, I pleaded with fans of this show to request Zee TV Marathi to release a DVD for all the episodes. Or if it not possible they can at least release best songs performed on the show by these little angels. And I am hoping all the other fans like me will make Zee Marathi to release the DVD as early as possible.
After they declared that all five little champs are going to final I can’t wait to watch the finale. The finale is expected to be huge. I heard that people are calling Zee Marathi Chanel’s office for passes already. As I also don’t want to miss out on watching these guys performing live. I tried to call the channel for the passes too but I found them busy all the time. Still I won’t lose hope and keep on trying. And I suggest you guys should try it too.
Although I am eagerly waiting for the results, I also don’t want this show to end. It should go on and on. Now when there are no worries of results till the finale, the champs are giving some divine performances. I think the finale is still two weeks away, till that time champs and their fans should enjoy this brief period just for the sake of music. One thing I noticed while watching the show is that every week the public in the auditorium increasing in number. In fact for last two week they are using bigger auditorium just to accommodate more people. That’s tells us about popularity of this show.
Sometimes I really envy these guys because they can meet some of the greats. Not only had they met people like Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Yashvant Dev, Shridhar Phadke, Suresh wadkar, Shankar Mahadevan, Hariharan, Devaki Pandit and many others who came on the show to judge them. But also people like Shrinivas Khale, Aasha Bhosale, Nilu Phule and others. Nilu Phule himself called them to meet him. I don’t think these guys can ask anything more at this age these are the biggest awards for them that they are appreciated by these great artists.
Nilu Phule is always been one of my most favorite artist. He isn’t just an actor but an amazing artist. Unfortunately he never gets enough recognition as Marathi film industry is not as big as Bollywood or South film industry. Irrespective of movie, movie subject or movie content the only thing stands out from the movie enacted by Nilu Phule is performance of Nilu Phule. He worked with some biggest actors of Marathi Film Industry but he made his presence felt in all his movies with even smallest of roles. He is acted in one recent movie called “Gav Tasa Changal”, I am eager to watch it just for him.
Coming back to little champ, the measure impact made by the “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa – Little Champ” is on the sale of Marathi Music. The day people hear new song from the little champs they rush to the music store next day and ask for the same audio CD. So Audio CD makers and retailers should thank Zee Marathi channel and most importantly little champs. I also bought some Marathi audio CD’s after watching the show but I found that the recording on these CD’s are not up to the mark, especially for older songs. So music company should work on that because there is going to be big demand for Marathi Music in coming days if it is not already there.
