Thanks in advance!!😉
SUR = Musical note / pitch / tone. Like Sa, Re, Dha, C-sharp, B-flat etc.
In the context of your question, the judges are trying to say that the singer sang a few notes incorrectly, as compared to the original composition, meaning they were out of tune in a few places.
ANTARA = Any paragraph of the song, except the first / opening paragraph/stanza. The opening stanza, a.k.a. the mukhda or the refrain, is usually repeated in part or full between each antara. In some type of songs, there is a special name for the last paragraph also, but that's a different subject, for another day.
In the context of your question, when the the judges talk about the antara, they are referring to the 2nd stanza of the song.
Hope this helps.

Indian classical music does not use what are called chords, or pressing more than one key simultaneously. Chords are a major aspect of Western music and producing harmony via chords is a natural consequence of the Equally tempered (geometric series) arrangement of the keys. <span>If keys were arranged in a Just tempered sequence, pressing more than one key at a given time might produce an unpleasant sound pattern resulting in what is called 'Besur' (in Hindustani music) or 'Abaswaram' (in Karnatic music).</span> By the way, one more advantage of Equal temperment of pianos and keyboards is that it makes it easier to 'tune' them, (they go out of tune every once in a while and need to be tuned periodically) since each key is harmonically related to the other keys. In case of Just tempered arrangement, since the key ratio between adjacent keys is not a constant, most keys will have to be tuned individually.<div><div><div><div>

NOW I understand. THanx!😛
Just to add a little more info to those who might have got mislead by my earlier post that Piano is not a stringed instrument like Violin.
Technically, Piano is also a stringed instrument.
No, technically speaking Piano is NOT a string instrument. A piano is a percussion instrument. Hammers that are operated by levers attached to the keys of the piano strike the strings in a piano (which resembles a harp laying on its side). That makes it a percussion instrument.
A string instrument is usually played by plucking the string or by gliding a bow across the string(s). Fingers or some objects are used to modulate the sound.
umm I think antara is the verse of the song...mukhda is the chorus...sur is all the notes 😳
Chorus has nothing to do w/ mukhda. Not all songs have chorus, in fact most don't. As I said earlier, mukhda is the opening para that is repeated between antara's. Mukhda is a.k.a. refrain.
