Same judges again? I was hoping for some fresh faces on the panel. The show needs new energy after so many seasons. But still, will watch for the talented contestants!

Remember watching the first season with my family back in 2004! Abhijeet Sawant was such a humble winner. Indian Idol has been part of our Sunday family time for years. Nostalgic! ❤️

Badshah as judge? Seriously? The show used to have legendary judges like Sonu Nigam and Javed Akhtar. Now it's becoming too commercial. Hope the talent makes up for it.

Hope they discover some real raw talent this season. Last few winners disappeared quickly from the music scene. The show should focus more on artist development than just TRP.
