Realme Hip Hop India heats up
Judges Remo D'Souza and Malaika Arora were joined by special guest judge and celebrated dancer-choreographer Dharmesh Yelande, bringing fresh energy and high stakes to the show. The star-studded cast of Campus Beats — Shantanu Maheshwari, Shruti Sinha, Tanya Bhushan, Tanvi Gadkari, Manish Poonam, and Rohan Pal — also made an appearance, adding to the vibrant atmosphere as they cheered on contestants in a fierce dance showdown.
The episode opened with a rousing welcome from Remo D'Souza, introducing Dharmesh to the panel. Without missing a beat, Dharmesh surprised last week's advantage winner, Norbu, with a ₹2 lakh cash prize as recognition for his performance — an unexpected gesture that set the tone for the evening. However, the biggest twist came when Remo announced that the winner of the episode would secure a direct spot in the finals, instantly raising the competitive stakes.
Dharmesh then issued a daring challenge, asking contestants to name their strongest rival. With the majority of votes, Rules Breakerz were singled out as the crew to beat. This led to a high-stakes ₹2 lakh face-off between Norbu and Rules Breakerz, followed by a dynamic cypher round where Campus Beats and the judges joined in, turning the dance floor into a battleground of raw talent and creativity.
In a nail-biting finale, Rules Breakerz emerged victorious, claiming the first finalist spot of the season and cementing their status as front-runners in the competition.
Speaking on his guest appearance, Dharmesh Yelande said, 'It was surreal to be part of such an exciting platform and witness these incredibly talented individuals. Sharing the dais with icons like Remo sir and Malaika ma'am has been a true honour. The energy, passion, and emotion these dancers bring is something else entirely. I'm excited to see where this journey goes.'
With only a few weeks to go, the stakes are higher than ever. Don't miss the action as Realme Hip Hop India Season 2 continues every Thursday, streaming for free on Amazon MX Player via the Amazon app, Prime Video, Fire TV and Connected TVs.

Representational Image Amazon layoffs: Amid the recent layoffs by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)– India's largest IT services exporter– another major global tech giant has reportedly sacked more than 100 employees, including a CEO. According to reports, Amazon has laid off 110 workers from its Wondery podcast network, including the company's CEO. Why Amazon laid off Wondery employees? In an internal memo to employees, Steve Boom, Vice President of Amazon's Audio, Twitch and Games, said that narrative and story-based podcast series such as Dr. Death, American Scandal and Business Wars, which were previously available on Wondery, will now be managed under its audiobook service Audible, as the company moves towards creator-led, video-based content. According to the company, its move is driven by how podcasts are being consumed by audiences, with video-style shows featuring personalities gaining more popularity, especially on platforms like YouTube and Spotify. Amazon is devising new strategies to drive advertising, profitability, and discoverability, it said. What happens to podcasts hosted on Wondery? Amazon stated that most of the employees laid off from Wondery have been shifted to other divisions with the company, but maintained that Wondery will retain its brand identity, and continue to host a few creator-driven shows. The Wondery+ app will also continue, it said. Regarding the fate of popular podcasts on the platform, such as New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelsey, Mind the Game, and Armchair Expert, Amazon said they will be housed in a new Creator Services group within Amazon's Talent Services division, while some podcasts will be produced under the Wondery brand. TCS layoffs Wondery layoffs come amidst the backdrop of Tata Group-owned TCS recently announcing plans to cut two percent of its global workforce, which would result in over 12,000 TCS workers losing their jobs in the current financial year. TCS layoffs, the largest in the history of India's IT industry, will affect workers from all countries and domains where the company is operational. The TCS layoffs are likely to be conducted between April 2025 and March 2026, Moneycontrol reported.
