As Realme Hip Hop India Season 2 on Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free video streaming service, draws closer to its grand finale, the latest episode cemented the show’s position as one of the most viewed shows nationwide. With only one finalist spot left, the dance floor is more cutthroat — and more inspiring — than ever before. Alongside judges Remo D’Souza and Malaika Arora, this week’s episode also featured guest judge Munawar Faruqui, who brought along a twist that turned the competition on its head.
This week’s ‘Collab Round’ kicked off with an electric duet between Hectik (Shubhankar) and Rules Breakerz, two of the already announced finalists, raising the bar sky-high for what followed. After Norbu’s withdrawal from the competition due to an injury, members of the Hip Hop Army stepped up to partner with the contestants, elevating the competition a notch higher. But the real curveball came courtesy of Munawar, who arrived on set with a mystery briefcase filled with scorecards ranging from 0 to 5. Each dancer was required to use each card once, giving the judging format a strategic twist.
The leaderboard saw quite a shuffle until Remo announced an unexpected last-minute contest between Lil Pool and Hitesh to choose the third finalist, with Munawar as the sole judge for the tie-breaker. Emotions were running high as Hitesh edged out the win, earning the coveted third spot in the finale and a brand-new Realme GT7 Dimensity 9400. With only one spot left in the final race, the top three finalists are now Rules Breakerz, Hectik, and Hitesh.
Munawar Faruqui, who joined the latest episode of Realme Hip Hop India Season 2 as the guest judge of the week, expressed his thoughts, sharing, “When I came to Hip Hop India Season 2, I witnessed some truly mind-blowing performances. What struck me most was how diverse and evolved the show is. We’ve all seen dance on TV, but this was different, it had flavour, originality, and so many unique styles I hadn’t seen commercialised before. It felt like real hip-hop. Everyone brought something different to the stage, and it seemed like one race, but with runners, swimmers, and high jumpers all competing in their own way. It was exciting, fun, and honestly, a privilege to be part of this experience. I’m grateful I got to witness it up close.”
With just one finalist slot remaining and the leaderboard wide open, Realme Hip Hop India S2 is only getting more thrilling from here. New episodes drop every Thursday, only on Amazon MX Player, accessible on the Amazon Shopping App, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
