Sanjith Hegde rocks the stage at RV College of Engineering fest

It was a weekend of games, activities and power-packed performances at the RV College of Engineering as the college held its annual fest. The highlight, however, were performances by The Local Train, Anirban Dasgupta, Karthik Pattar, Sanjith Hegde and DJ Diego Miranda. Even before Sanjith took the stage, chants of Maadeva (his hit number from the Kannada film Popcorn Monkey Tiger) kept echoing through the audience.And he didn’t disappoint, starting off with tracks like Nigooda Nigooda, Kannmaniye, Natasaarvabhowma, and heading to Maadeva, which he performed along with rapper HanuMankind. Sanjith also sang Hindi tracks like Udta Punjab and O Humdum Suniyo Re, and showed off some of his dance moves, which were a hit among the students, especially the girls.
“I am always nervous when I perform at colleges, because I am still a student and all my friends are in college too. But performing at an engineering college is always fun. I quit engineering, but most of my friends are here.” International DJ Diego Miranda’s performance, say students, was the perfect way to end the fest. “Usually, we are so engrossed in our assignments and other college-related activities that we do not have a lot of fun through the year. However, the fest is the perfect way to loosen up a bit and let our hair down. Every year, we have celebrities performing at the fest and this year we looked forward to the bigger performances, especially Sanjith. The entire crowd just loved his song Maadeva — this was the highlight of the fest,” says Gokul C, a second year student from the college.
