Hey Mangaluru, get ready to unleash your inner star—Season 4 of Mangalore’s Got Talent is roaring back with an epic stage, jaw-dropping prizes, and a heartfelt celebration of our rich cultural tapestry!
Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru
Mangaluru, Nov 12: Following three seasons that captured hearts and imaginations across the region, Mangalore’s Got Talent is making a triumphant return with its fourth edition, set to be even more spectacular, inclusive, and steeped in cultural vibrancy.
Brought to life by Dream Catchers Events and spearheaded by Prithvi Kamath, the enthusiastic proprietrix of Dream Catchers Events, this season throws open its doors to talented individuals aged 16 and up, with absolutely no age cap to ensure everyone has a shot.
We're thrilled to welcome seasoned seniors, energetic adults, spirited youth, and performers from all walks of life to showcase their skills in individual acts, dynamic duets, or lively group performances. Think singing, dancing, playing instruments, or even unique talents like storytelling or acrobatics—this is your chance to shine in a wide array of categories that highlight the diverse skills people bring to the table.
And this is the part most people miss—the sheer inclusivity that makes this event more than just a contest. It's about bridging generations and celebrating the hidden gems in our community, proving that talent knows no age limit. But here's where it might get a bit controversial for some: does this open-door policy really create a level playing field, or could it lead to unfair advantages? We'll dive deeper into that thought-provoking angle later.
Audition schedule
- First Audition: Sunday, November 16 – Fiza by Nexus Mall, starting at 3:30 pm
- Second Audition: Sunday, November 30 – City Centre Mall, Mangaluru, kicking off at 3:30 pm
- Grand Finale: Sunday, January 18, 2026 – Town Hall, Mangaluru
Plus, for those who can't make it in person, online auditions are available, making participation easier than ever—perfect for busy folks or those in remote areas.
Sponsors and partners
This season is proudly presented by Dream Catchers Events, with BON Masala stepping up as the title sponsor. Mangalore Meri Jaan acts as the social media partner, Daijiworld Media serves as the media partner, and a host of category sponsors are lending their support to elevate Season 4 into one of Mangaluru’s most anticipated cultural extravaganzas.
Our dedicated on-ground teams are hitting the streets, visiting major colleges, institutions, and public gatherings throughout the city, while our social media campaigns are buzzing to connect with every nook and cranny of Mangaluru. It's all about spreading the word and building excitement—imagine the buzz when a college student discovers this opportunity through a viral post!
Prizes and recognitions
The victors of Season 4 will walk away with:
- 1st Prize: Rs 50,000
- 2nd Prize: Rs 25,000
- 3rd Prize: Rs 15,000
- A special Rakesh Poojari Golden Ticket Entry, granting them semifinalist status at Karunadu’s Got Talent
- Prestigious trophies, certificates, and delightful gift hampers
And let's not forget—every participant earns medals, certificates of participation, and gift hampers for those who advance to the finals and win. It's a way to honor effort, not just victory, ensuring everyone feels valued.
But here's where it gets controversial— with prizes this substantial, is this truly about cultural appreciation, or is it more like a high-stakes game where money overshadows the art? Some might argue it motivates performers, while others wonder if it commodifies creativity. What do you think—does financial reward enhance or detract from the purity of talent shows?
Grand finale highlights
- Riveting performances by the top finalists
- Presentation of the International Viewer’s Choice Award
- Special honors for core cultural talents who keep our traditions alive

Beyond a competition
Mangalore’s Got Talent Season 4 goes far beyond mere rivalry. This year's theme is all about spotlighting the incredible cultural diversity of our region, paying tribute to the artists who enrich Mangaluru’s creative scene, and building a tighter-knit community spirit. Participants and spectators alike can expect a bigger spotlight, wider recognition, and memories that'll last a lifetime—think of it as a festival where everyone wins through shared joy and inspiration.
