While everyone is too busy making plans for Christmas and New Year, Gitanjali Lifestyle decided to give everyone an opportunity to start celebrations before the conventional schedule. On the 18th of December 2014, Gitanjali Lifestyle arranged a shimmering event featuring the hottest Bollywood Sensation of the year – Benny Dayal! He is one of the biggest stars of Bollywood music industry and the maker of many hot & striking songs such as this year’s hottest track “Bang Bang” from the movie Bang Bang, “Badtameez Dil” from the movie Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and “The Disco Song” from the movie Student Of the Year and many more.
The event took place in Radisson Blu, Grand Ball Room at around 7pm. Over 200* people showed up that night; almost everyone dressed up glamorously, eager to witness the famous Benny Dayal perform live right in front of their eyes.
The event started with a glittering fashion show where the models had put on some of the latest and extraordinary ornaments by none other than Gitanjali’s collection. The makeup and hair dressing was done by Kaniz Almas. The fashion show was well choreographed and received a lot of appreciation.
After the fashion show, the remarkable singer was welcomed on stage by the lady behind all the hard work – Mrs. Sohana Rouf Chowdhury, Managing Director of Sash Limited (Gitanjali Lifestyle). The audience cheered with booming, screeching and quavering voices as Benny Dayal invaded the stage. The smile on his face on hearing the crowd go crazy was totally incredible!
As time ticked, Benny Dayal continued with his dazzling performances.
Each song received more applause than the one before. Everyone cheered as the show continued, but that one song that got the entire audience singing was “Daaru Desi” from the movie Cocktail. The crowd was super excited, hyper and very responsive. That shows how many fans this rockstar has, right? I’m pretty sure Benny Dayal felt the zeal of the crowd and that’s what made him even more in spirit. Believe it or not, that man was not only singing on stage but moving around, showing off this amazing dance moves so elegantly that it left most of the audience mesmerized!
And guess what? Those of you are thinking that you’ve missed the chance to see Benny Dayal on stage- you’re wrong. You’ve missed the opportunity to witness a legend set the stage as well as the crowd on fire. This one time, he came down, to the audience and oh my! He started dancing with the audience and *click click* *flash light*. He dedicated the song “Bang Bang” to everyone present in the Grand Ball Room since New Year is around the corner. It was indeed a spectacular performance.
The event was well organized. Starting from seating arrangements to the security systems- the place was well secured and had lots of assistants and volunteers helping them maintain rules and regulations. And the lighting system was magical. It served its purpose well; both during the fashion show as well as the concert. It was neither too much, nor too dull. Just perfect like the ones we get to see in movies.
The people playing the musical instruments deserve some acknowledgement too. Benny Dayal along with the musicians rocked the stage. Apart from his own songs, Benny Dayal sang some of the superhit bollywood songs, including “Dil Se” from the movie Dil Se by the great A.R. Rahman. Before starting the song, Benny Dayal even spoke some kind words showing his gratitude towards A. R. Rahman as his songs inspired him a lot.
The last song of the night was that one for which everyone was waiting impatiently- “Badtameez Dil” and it received great response and prolonged applause from the audience. Benny Dayal is indeed a show stopper and an extremely talented singer. Thanks to Gitanjali and the sponsors for arranging such an event. Bollywood fans in Dhaka look forward to such delightful events in the near future.
