Himesh Reshammiya’s Musical Twist
Adding a surprise element to the premiere, Himesh Reshammiya made a special entry and turned the episode into a musical spectacle. His performance wasn’t just entertainment — the contestants’ survival in the task depended on his singing, making it one of the most unusual and engaging moments of the episode.

Prince Narula’s team dominated their round, sending Monalisa’s team into trouble. Shiv Thakare and Karan Patel also led their teams to early wins, proving strong leadership skills.
Safe Zone vs Danger Zone
