Saif Ali Khan, dressed smartly in an Indian attire, failed to add fire to the event. The host tried his best but looked a tad confused and puzzled at the Salt Lake Stadium. His act involved awkward poses, long gaps and was no where close to entertaining. (Source: PTI)
The opening act of the night by Shahid Kapoor continued from where Saif left. Shahid, during his little medley, almost knocked out the dance crew with his bike and almost fell while dancing on the stage. The actor got his act together towards the end but looked very cautious due to the wet surroundings. (Source: PTI)

Best for the last? Oh yes! Hrithik Roshan was the show stopper with his 'Ek pal ka jeena', 'Dhoom machale' and 'It's magic' to name a few. The actor looked in his elements and got the crowd on their feet with some jaw-dropping moves. (Source: PTI)
Two Good! Both Anushka and Hrithik were star of the otherwise messy and confusing evening. (Source: PTI)
