कुछ पाकर खोना है

कुछ खोकर पाना है,

जीवन का मतलब तो

आना और जाना है,

दो पल के जीवन से

एक उम्र चुरानी है,

ज़िन्दगी और कुछ भी नहीं

तेरी मेरी कहानी है . . .

—Laxmikant-Pyarelal

Can the era of the 60s to 90s be ever complete without the mesmerising music of the legendary, Music Maestro, Laxmikant-Pyarelal—the greatest musician of all-time? The veteran duo has woven magic in the music industry with their timeless music, such as Jumma Chumma De De, Zindagi Ki Na Toote Ladi, Ek Pyar Ka Nagma Hai, Ek Do Teen Char Panch, So Gaya Yeh Jahan, Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai, Mere Mehboob Qayamat Hogi, Om Shanti Om, Khalnaya Hun Main, Zindagi Ki Yahi Reet Hai, Dream Girl, among others.

In April 2023, Sahyog Entertainment presented Australia with the biggest gifts of the year—𝗟𝗔𝗫𝗠𝗜𝗞𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗣𝗬𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗟 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 i𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁. The organisers, Rohit Trivedi, Sahyog Entertainment (National Promoter) and Mohit Chopra, FAME events (Marketing Partner), are credited for organising the musical night successfully in Sydney at Hillsong Convention Centre, and the people of Melbourne at Plenary Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre saw the biggest gala night again organised by Sahyog Entertainment with a resounding success.

The legendary musician Pyarelal was on stage live with his troop of multi-talented cast comprising 𝙆𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙖 𝙆𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙝y, Sudesh Bhosle, Amit Kumar, along with other ensemble of talented singers, including Neelanjana Ray, Priyanka Mitra, Mohammed Salamat.

The eminent playback singers enthralled the audience with their hypnotic music, such as Shirdi Wale Sai Baba, Kate Nahi Kat te Ye Din Ye Raat, Saawan Ka Mahina, Ik Banjara Gae Jeevan Ki Geet Sunae, Ek Haseena Thi, Hawa Hawaaii, among many others.

The concert started well on time, mediated in a smooth and systematic manner by anchor, Miss Kavya. The symphony kept the audience tapping their feet all through the performances.

While the multi-starrer ensemble, Kavita Krishnamurthy and Amit Kumar performed their all-time best, Sudesh Bhosle kept the audience hooked both with his hit numbers and tongue-in-cheek humour and mimicry.

A special mention must go to the orchestra because of whom the musical night was transformed into a magical night, accompanied by more than twenty artists.

The concert came to a beautiful end when the audience sang in unison, whistling and hooting. It was a nostalgic journey of emotion, love, and life.

Indeed, an evening to remember . . .

I am honoured to be performing next to Pyarelal Ji. They are the ones to push me in the 70s and offered me to sing some of the biggest hits of all time. I am indebted to them for life.—Amit Kumar

Pyarelal Ji is not a musician, he is an institution. They are my God. I am very grateful because I was a nobody when I came in the industry. They are the ones who have taught me. He is our Guru. Pyare Bhai is beyond Bollywood. Australia is lucky to have him LIVE—𝙆𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙖 𝙆𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙝𝙮

Singers and musicians are not important, but what 𝗟𝗔𝗫𝗠𝗜𝗞𝗔𝗡𝗧-𝗣𝗬𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗟 Ji have created, which will stay for hundreds of years is important. — Sudesh Bhosle
