The fifteenth season of Indian Idol premiered in late 2024, on Sony Entertainment Television. After being replaced for a year, Aditya Narayan returned as host,[1] while Shreya Ghoshal and Vishal Dadlani returned as judges, along with Badshah replacing Kumar Sanu.[2][3]

## Auditions

[edit]

Remote auditions took place from 18 August to 31 August, 2024, as well as a number of open-call auditions, and from these, the producers selected the contestants who were then invited to audition in front of the judges.[4]

Kolkata, West Bengal | 18 August 2024  | P.B. Academic School

Filming does not take place until the judges' audition round. The year, the auditions were filmed at the Mukesh Mills warehouse.

To mark 20 years of Indian Idol, the platinum mic[5] was introduced that guarantees the contestant a position in Top 15. Each judge could give only 1 platinum mic. Golden tickets were continued, and were given 31 in total, but the golden mic was discontinued. The platinum mics were given to Srijan Porail, Mayuri Saha and Sneha Shankar by Dadlani, Ghoshal and Badshah respectively.

Also, during the judges' audition, the traditional "sticker" of contestant's serial number was replaced with a new "identity card" as shown in the promo.[6] This season the judges were also given headphones to hear the raw voice of singers, without any instruments and processing.[citation needed]

## Theatre round

[edit]

The Theatre round featured the top 31 golden ticket holder contestants performing for the judges. This round was filmed on X, at the Lata Mangeshkar Auditorium, and aired on 9 and 10 November 2024. The judges then narrowed the number of contestants down to 15, including the platinum mic holders.[7]

This year the contestants performed in batches, as picked by the judges according to genre. The batch maybe of two, three or even one and their fate depends on the judges' verdict.

Neeti Mohan served as the guest judge and mentor in absence of Badshah, and Pawandeep Rajan and Mohd. Danish served as guest hosts in absence of Aditya Narayan.[8][9]
