Nagpur: The Laxmi Nagar Scientific Society Hall turned musical on Sunday as’ Sur Aur Noor 2′ paid tuneful tributes to Bollywood’s 57 divas through 55 songs that touched the souls and captured the audience’s hearts.
Although Kanak Sur Mandir set the stage for the grand show, on all 55 counts, however, the spotlight was on Kanaka Gadkari who enjoyed the gathering with her hypnotic voice.
The audience was taken on a journey through Bollywood that started with songs picturized on the majestic Madhubala and ended with the amazing Alia Bhatt.
Kanaka was a picture of versatility at its finest with a showcase of various genres including semi-classical, devotional, patriotic and much more.
Anchor Shweta Shelgaonkar made the entertainment healthy by adding a heady dash that included a brief introduction accompanied by anecdotes of each star before each song.
Aaiye meherbaan’ has left the audience spellbound in memory of Madhubala. With the song, ‘ Bindiya chamkegi’ Mumtaz was brought alive, the epitome of beauty.
“Piya baawri” by Ravishing Rekha gave a classy account of the timeless beauty. A further tribute by Kanaka was’ Pyar karne wale pyar karte hain,’ pictured on another diva, Parveen Babi.
The other popular songs left by the audience were’ Panchhi banoo udti phiru,” Barsat mein,” Jaa jaa guafa,” Gore gore baanke chore,” Tadbeer se bigdi hui taqdeer bana le,” Tora mann darpan kehlaye,” Yeh zindagi usi ki,’ and’ Ghadi ghadi mora,’ among others.
The audience was surprised by’ Yeh ishq haaye baithe bithaye,’ filmed on scintillating Kareena Kapoor Khan and’ Pinga,’ pictured on damsels by Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra.
With’ Saawar lun,’ Kanaka sounded melodious, pictured on the starry Sonakshi Sinha.
While’ Ae qatan’ saw the patriotism flow, the audience was entertained by’ Hungama ho gaya,” Ainvayi ainvayi,” Piyu bole’ and’ Beedi jalaile.’
Had it not been for musicians Govind Gadhikar, Moreshwar Dahasahastra, Vishvajeet Paserkar, Gaurav Tanksale, and Sourabh Killedar, the event would have been incomplete.
