All roads this evening will lead to the Andheri Sports Complex where the two Sa Re Ga Ma Pa finalists Debojit and Vinit will clash for last time.

Bollywood actress Diya Mirza is to co-host the show with Shaan at the Andheri Sports Complex.

Hours before the event, Debojit is calm and collected. "Whatever I've achieved where I've come is more than enough. I feel the blessings that my mother gave me before her death have borne fruits. This week alone I've received 5 lakh votes from my home in Assam. I can't begin to tell you how confident it makes me feel.

Do I feel nervous or excited about the Grand Finale? No...I'm not thinking of the results at all. I'm thinking only of my singing and how to sing to my best level possible...I'm happy with whatever God has planned for me tomorrow. I'm really excited about singing the song my mentor Ismail Durbar has composed for me. It's a Sufi gana...very very soulful. And Ranjit Barot has arranged it. I never thought I'd stand in front of so many thousands of people including some of the biggest musicians and stars, and be watched by millions of people at home at such a live event, singing such a beautiful song composed specially for me. It's a dream come true."

In contrast Vinit is a portrait of cocky confidence.

"No I'm not nervous. But very excited. We're rehearsing hard and I'm feeling good about the Finale. I've a great line-up of songs for the Grand Finale including One love, Kaal dhamaal, Bhadshah and Chand tare. I also have a duet Just chill with Himani," he exults. "But the big one for the evening is the song that my mentor Himesh Reshammiya has composed. It's a soft melodious Indian ballad which mid-way goes into a cool Western interlude. Very challenging to sing."

When I tell him that the show's producer-director Gajendra Singh claims they've received 4 lakh SMS as audience votes for the two finalists, Vinit stops short to think. "That much, huh? I guess the Grand Finale is much bigger than we thought. Yes, I'm confident of winning."
