This was truly the most happening event of yesterday. I had got passes to the ‘KK Sensational Nite’ concert organized by TCS along with it’s social service foundation called Maitree. The event was held at the Shanmukhananda Hall at King’s Circle in Mumbai, attended by young TCSers who rocked the house completely.
KK sang a few of his hits from his album Pal including Yaaron, Aap Ki Dua and (of course) Pal. Then he moved onto sing his film songs. Just a small list in random order –
• Bardhasht Nahi Kar Sakta (Humraaz),
• Tadap Tadap (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam),
• Dus Bahane (Dus),
• Kya Mujhe Pyar Hai (Woh Lamhe),
• Tu Aashiqui Hai (Jhankar Beats),
• O Humdum Suniyo Re (Saathiya),
• It’s the Time to Disco (Kal Ho Naa Ho),
• Koi Kahe Kehta Rahe (Dil Chahta Hai),
• Sach Keh Raha Hai Deewana (Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein),
• Awarapan Banjarapan (Jism)
• Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai (Gangster) etc. etc.
He did not sing a few of my favorites like –
• Bas Ek Pal (Bas Ek Pal),
• Aashayen (Iqbal),
• Alvida (Metro),
• O Meri Jaan (Metro)
• Soniye (Aksar)
• Dilnashin Dilnashin (Aashiq Banaya Aapne)
• Teri Yaadon Mein (The Killer) and many more…
I couldn’t resist jiving and moving my feet to his songs, even singing aloud at times with him. When he began Tu Aashiqui Hai, the crowd went completely berserk, singing along with such melody and tempo which prompted KK to appreciate them. By the time the show reached its climax, the young crowd had already gathered near the stage, dancing merrily to the beats while KK prodded them to continue. He later went on to sing Summer of 69 (Bryan Adams) after announcing that he felt he was back in college after seeing the enthusiastic youngsters. Just like them I guess, KK also had a gala time as well. The most notable thing about this performance yesterday was he sang ALL the songs without referring to any sort of written lyrics whatsoever and I think that shows how much he loves and respects his music. Also at times he was guiding the sound engineers in the auditorium to manage the sound output in some loudspeakers to suit his rendition and the mood.
He’s truly a great singer and a performer of our times and I have always admired his talent. I wish KK all the best and let’s hope he comes back with more hits for us in the future.
seems like you had fun.
