After Strings, the musical palate of Puneites was tickled by B’town’s fave singer Shantanu Mukherjee Nee Shaan — on day two of the Times Pune Festival. Result? Jhakaas re baba! Behti Hawa sa tha woh… The serene, calming aura of Amanora Park Town glowed some more in myriad colourful hues of filtering lights, as Shaan, coming across as a whiff of fresh air, rendered one mellifluous number after the other.
Mast Mahaul! He hit the right chord with the audience as he happily flitted from Chura Liya to Tanha Dil to Main Hoon Don to I love you with great élan. But, the moment he sang the first line of popular Marathi number, Ashwini Ye Naa, originally sung by Kishore Kumar, he had the young and young-at-heart on their feet; and jigs of all kind began in right earnest! By the looks of it, the affaire de Shaan will last for quite sometime.
