During the semifinal and final rounds, viewers vote on which contestants will advance.

Format
In contrast to other competition TV shows which feature a cast of celebrity judges, Hunarbaaz features a cast of celebrity experts and considers the viewers the judges. During each performance, the live studio audience is able to decide whether or not a contestant is sent through to the next round by using a voting panels.

While the live studio audience are considered the "judges", the judging panelists also may influence the vote with 10% of the voting power each.

Auditions
The auditions are the first round where the acts are individually called to perform. With the start of the performance, voters have the option of voting just yes or no. If an expert votes yes, another 10% is added to the tally of the contestant.

Once the contestant reaches 80% of yes votes, the contestant goes to the next round of the competition.
