Old Hindi film hits musical event at Phoenix Arena

Madhapur: Dakshin Dhwani, a city-based group of Hindi film music enthusiasts is organising a Karaoke musical show- Ek Akela Is Shehar Mein – A nostalgic nite of old Hindi film songs-  as part of its 'Monthly Movie Memories' series at Phoenix Arena, Madhapur on Sunday, January 21 at 6 pm. This unique tribute series is now onto its seventh month. 

The highlights of this programme include a tribute to film directors Sohrab Modi, Bimal Roy, Shakti Samanta, Chetan Anand, S D Narang etc. The other celebrities in the list include music directors O P Nayyar, Jaidev and R D Burman. A special tribute to K L Sehgal and Mahendra Kapoor too is proposed. The programme would be a combo of audio-visual clips and vocal music.

‘In around 15 months since we began our programmes in October 2016, we have managed to get noticed as our  dozen-odd- events have been held in the prominent hangout spots in the city like Lamakaan and Phoenix Arena. 

We were also invited by the officials of the new venue – Apollo Foundation Theatre- to stage a programme in the last week of December, which we consider an acknowledgement of our increasing acceptance. While we are aware that we need to keep the momentum sustained, our innovative approach to managing the proceedings will surely stand us in good stead’ said Prabha Naresh, one of the founders.
