Realme Hip Hop India Season 2 on Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free streaming service, is inching closer to its grand finale, and this week proved why the show continues to dominate conversations and screens across the country. With Remo D’Souza and Malaika Arora leading the judges’ panel, and celebrity guests shaking things up every episode, the competition has only gotten tougher week after week. As the intensity hits a fever pitch, with just four spots in the grand finale, the race has never been more tense or unpredictable.

The latest episode opened with a power-packed performance by Rules Breakerz, reminding everyone why they were the first to secure a spot in the grand finale. Malaika noted the fire in everyone’s eyes to be in the finale, while Remo raised the stakes by revealing only four finalists would make it to the ultimate showdown, and that by the end of the episode, one more name would be added to that coveted list. But in a twist that kept both contestants and viewers guessing, the final scores were held back until the very end.

The performances kicked off with Hitesh, who delivered an impressive act and received a solid 19, while Malaika’s score remained under wraps. Then came Lamonlang, a.k.a. the Afro Queen, who followed with an electric set that brought the judges to their feet and earned her a perfect 20, with Remo’s score left pending. Guest Judge Dharmesh even joined in with a surprise Afro performance, taking the energy up a notch. But it was Shubhankar who delivered the night’s most stirring performance, which earned unanimous praise. Remo deemed it as the “performance of a lifetime,” while Malaika remarked, “I just want to pick this winner’s belt and give it to you right now. You’re a true winner.” Shubhankar, too, bagged a perfect 20, with Dharmesh’s score unrevealed.

The back half of the episode saw strong acts, with Aman and Kunal earning 18, Ranjeet bringing his signature popping style for a score of 17, Lil Pool’s footwork bagging an 18, and Norbu impressing with his smooth technique and use of prop, also scoring 18 despite injuring himself during a risky flip.

Finally, as scores were revealed, Lamonlang held strong with 29, but it was Shubhankar who sealed his place as the second confirmed finalist, scoring a flawless 30 and staking his claim in the grand finale of Realme Hip Hop India S2.

With just two finalist slots 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.
