Mumbaikars were treated to a musical extravaganza as Team Rockstar set the stage on fire at their Mumbai concert at Bhavan’s College grounds on November 1st!
Music maestro A R Rahman performed live, an unprecedented treat for fans on the songs of his upcoming Ranbir Kapoor starrer Rockstar to a crowd frenzy of thousands who kept cheering the genius and singing along!
Rockstar Ranbir showed why he is the heartthrob of millions as his first stage performance left no stone unturned, with guitar playing, dancing and some special stunts played out for the screaming crowds!
Hosted by Chang, the concert had a special introduction by Director Imtiaz Ali who spoke about the film to the audiences. Joining them were Mohit Chauhan- the voice of Ranbir in Rockstar, singers Harshdeep Kaur and Monica Dogra along with percussion guru Sivamani and Rahman’s key associate Ranjit Barod.
The crowds specially went crazy when the rage of the year Saadda Haq was performed on stage, but the number Nadaan Parinde was what got the fans grooving. Ranbir and Nargis Fakhri performed on a sweet romantic number, enthralling the fans with their chemistry.
Videos of the making of the film and a special tribute to the late Shammi Kapoor were also shown, with some sweet behind the scenes footage of the late actor.
A. R Rahman performed live concert for the first time for any of his films and had specially flown down his talented band to be a part of this concert. Producers Shree Ashtavinayak CineVision Ltd have left no stone unturned to turn the concert into a success.
The event was organized by Deepak Gattani of Rapport, who coordinates all concerts of A R Rahman, with special choreography by Ashley Lobo. A grand set in tune with the Rockstar theme was created at Bhavan’s college grounds, Andheri west, Mumbai where the concert took place. The lavish set was in the unique shape of a cross with hydraulic lift and a ramp, creating a great platform for Rahman’s troupe and the other host of musicians to have a free rein!
‘Saadda Haq’, the song that has become a rage with the youth was the highlight of the concert. Other songs performed from Rockstar included: Jo Bhi Main, Kun Faaya Kun (with the original Qawwali singers also performing live at the concert), Katiyan Karun, Nadaan Parinde and Tum Ho.
