Star Promotions Begins the Year with an Electrifying Show

By Vanshika Vipin

HOUSTON: Star Promotions, famous for organizing concerts, held its first show of 2016 at the Arena Theatre on April 8.  And what an impressive way to start their shows for the year.  The celebrated and dynamic Rajender Singh who is the show promoter added another feather to his cap by organizing a memorable musical evening.  The performers were none less than the successful musical duo of Vishal-Shekhar and the graceful Neeti Mohan.

Vishal & Shekhar are accomplished music directors in Bollywood with several films to their credit.  With a huge fan following, they are known to enthral the audience wherever they perform.  Neeti Mohan is a popular Indian singer and is briskly climbing up charts with her Bollywood numbers.  With such performers the show was expected to be a super successful one.  Together they created magic on stage and had the audience dancing to their tunes.

The evening began with Neeti Mohan’s performance.  From the time she began singing till the end she was a treat to the ears.  Neeti rendered several Bollywood numbers that kept the audience entertained.  She sang the famous Jiya Re from the film Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Pataka Guddi from Highway.  In a very impulsive gesture to create drama and excitement, Neeti asked the crowds to turn on the flash lights on their cell phones.  With a sea of lights effect she crooned Banke Titli from the blockbuster Bollywood film Chennai Express.  Neeti won over the audience by belting out numbers like Ishqwala Love, Har Kisiko Nahi Milta and Ghanti Big Ben one after the other.  Then Vishal joined her to sing a duet – Tune Mari Entry.  They decided to have a five minute break before Vishal-Shekhar’s performance could begin.

After creating a musical mood, finally Vishal and Shekhar arrived on the stage together witnessing shouts and screams of excitement from the audience.  Then there was no looking back.  Back to back numbers such as Bachna E Haseeno, Right Here Right Now, Balam Pichkari, Selfie Le, Dus Bahane, Salaam Namaste, Gulabo, Desi Girl, Mitwa, Radha, Lag Ja Galay and Meri Umar Kay Naujawaano filled up the environment with excitement and ‘once mores’.  They even sang their new song Jabra Fan from the latest movie Fan.  They lit up the stage with their power-packed performance for non-stop three hours.  Their foot-tapping numbers only kept the audience asking for more.  Neeti Mohan joined them for a few songs and the evening only grew melodious.

In one of the acts Vishal-Shekhar got kids on the stage for performing on the famous star studded song from the film Om Shanti Om.  It was very fascinating to see the act.  Throughout the event all three performers were very interactive with the audience and made sure everyone had a blast.  They went into the aisles and encouraged the crowds to sing along.  Such was the energy levels of the stars that the audience could feel the adrenaline rush in their veins.  The musicians accompanying them were excellent and complimenting.  It was truly an evening to remember and felt like Houston danced the night away.

At the end of the show, Rajender expressed his gratitude to all the performers and exclaimed that of all the 125 shows organized by him; this was one of his unforgettable shows.  He was extremely pleased and satisfied to see the exhilarated crowds.  The success of the rocking show only motivated him to have more of such shows in future.

Going ahead, Star Promotions will organize the historical hit, Chanakya on Sunday, May 1  at Stafford Civic Center (Old).  In the pipeline there is also the most awaited Dream Team tour in August. The show will feature stars including  Jacqueline Fernandes, Aditya Kapoor, Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Siddharth Malhotra, Badshah and Parineeti Chopra.
