History

The first episode aired on May 1, 1995 and was hosted by Sonu Nigam; the show was extremely popular at that time.

From 1999 till 2001, the show was hosted by the Bangash brothers, Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash, sons of legendary sarod-player Amjad Ali Khan.

After that, Shaan started hosting the show. Later, the name "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa" became known as the "brand name" of the series and completely changed the concept of the show to include public interaction through voting. This was first done in 2005, when the old show concept was completely scraped and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2005 was introduced.

After Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2005, Gajendra Singh departed from Zee TV and joined hands with Star Network, along went some others like Shaan. The concept rights are not clear yet, but Zee TV claims rights on the format of the shows originally made for Zee TV, like Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and Antakshari. In February 2007, Real Media - Zee TV in Dubai, produced and started airing Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Middle East - Pakistan Challenge 2007 for the Middle East and Pakistan viewers based on the original format of the show, without Gajendrra Singh.

Zee TV Telugu has also started "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa" in 2007 and successfully run 2 series named "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Seniors" and "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Little Champs" and has started a new series "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Super Seniors" for aged group above 35 years.

The last episode, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007 aired in the year of 2007 and was hosted by Aditya Narayan; The third installment Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009 is being aired and premiered on July 4th. Aditya Narayan returns as the host with three new mentors, who join Himesh Reshammiya.

Concept

The concept and "elimination" process was very different from today's format of public voting. Each week, a contestant would challenge the previous week's winning contestant through various different rounds such as singing a song from their own choice, singing a song of the judge's choice et cetera. The contestant who got the most points at the end of the episode would go ahead into. In total, there were usually four contestants per episode, two girls and two boys. The main goal of the contestants was to get a streak of continuous wins each week from which if they were successful would be given a break into the musical industry in India.
