“Presenting, the Indus Elementz”. Lights out. Cheers. Silence. The music begins with Rahman-esque beats, “Vande Mataram
”. Here we go…
In a few moment the crowd is
into the concert. They have been treated to some excellent
numbers. From the foot tapping “Humma humma…” to the
evergreen (or blue?) “Neele neele amber se…” The concert
reaches the top gear with the Amitabh medly. “Rang barse…”,
“Dekha na hai re…”, “Khaike paan banaras…”, ”Sara Zamaana…”,
they just keep on flowing.
The crowd is out of their seats
now. To quote Tony Greig, they are dancing in the aisles. As
the concert comes to an end, we listen to a brilliantly
sequenced version of “Pudhu Vellai Mazhai” from Roja and the
concert signs off with the nostalgic “Poorani Jeans…”. That
was some performance. Phew…
