I must first put up their amazing act for those who havent seen it, and for those like me who are a great fan of their talent, hardwork, humility and innovativeness

Unfortunately the finals video is not still available. Though not a TV buff but once I watched the first episode of the program India's Got Talent I got glued to it like anything. Then it meant Saturdays and Sundays 9-10 pm of this show. Later for semi-finals the timings got extended, deservingly so because the program was high on creativity, entertainment, emotions and a respect for India's culture, traditions and talent.
What makes Prince Group a deserving candidate is their creativity and never say die spirit. Every act is highly unique and god know's where they get ideas from. I am sure there is direct connect to heaven's somehow as 2 of their 3 acts which were shown depicted Hindu god's in various forms. There were a few other entrants who performed traditional acts but theirs was not at all traditional. The delivered performance was highly modern and may be ahead of the time. I feel so because I never thought some people from lower middle class or labor class will emerge from Behrampur of Orissa to come up with such performance. And also because never has the reality TV shows captured Indian talent like this show. All others were mainly based on "Masala" content. I just wish a follow on India's Got Talent should be aired soon, because the Country of 1 billion will definitely have more to offer. I always felt Hollywood was way ahead of Bollywood, which I still feel, but otherwise I think our creative youth like Prince Dance group are not behind anyone comparable elsewhere. Its said "Bad times bring out the best in you" but these people have probably not seen good times at all, now is when their time starts. I hope they win more money and accolades.
Infact they were the first people for whom I ever SMSed on a TV show, later on I had to message for Rohan Group and Lokmanya Tilak Malakhamb group as well. But before this never ever I might have SMSed on a Reality show.
This is inspiring and it tickled some of my creative but now dormant genes. Their performance sent me back to IIT days and reminded me of PAF, Socials, Dramas, impromptu and Street Plays in many of which I performed or directed or wrote them as well.
