Songs by Different Music Directors

 That was the theme of a nice program, Yaadon ki Baraat, that I saw yesterday (June 22, 2026) at a Pune auditorium. This was the group's 50th such program, and a guest singer was Preeti Pethkar. She sang Pyar kiya to darna kya .. very well. A fusion experiment with whistling was good too, and a flute artist who played the song on Flute. Some other singers were good too,. Bipin and Saavni among them- Bipin sounded like Kishore Kumar- a rarity (White-haired guy, and lady in Yellow in the pic). Music directors ranged from C. Ramchandra to Annu Malik and Jatin-Lalit.

Dharmendra Musical Show in Pune

 We saw a sizzling musical show called Sadabahar Dharmendra yesterday (16 May 2026) at Pune. It was a great evening filled with memories of an evergreen hero who came from Punjab and won the hearts of many, including a Dream Girl. Some great songs were sung.. 4 very good singers, Ali Husain, Makarand Patankar, Swarada Godbole and Radhika Atre. Saira was the compere, and did a good job of it. Pics-

Rajabhau Tikhe of Rhythm Entertainment

 A very entertaining musical show by him and his team- Vyjayanti, Monali Dube and Elizabeth, and Shrikant Bhatt and himself. Songs from many of them were excellent. Vyju/Vyjayanti stood out. Shrikant Bhatt, 81, did well with Talat Mehmood, Saigal songs. Shola jo bhadke, Kajra mohabbat wala, aana merri jaan merri jaan Sunday ke Sunday etc. brought the house down. 3 songs from Jhumroo were sung! The ladies did Shamshad Begum songs well!
