Good but left us wanting more...
The event started off at 9 PM with an opening act by a band
called Life. They were energetic with easy to listen music, mostly their
originals and kept the audience engaged. But when there was no sign of Benny
Dayal even at 9.25 PM, the crowd started getting a wee bit restless with many
chanting his name. Finally he did make an appearance but his appearance was
just that, a cameo, where he sang 3-4 songs with the band Life. Turns out they
were not the opening act after all but the actual act with Benny Dayal thrown
in for good measure. The supposed highlight of the evening, Benny Dayal singing 'Badtameez Dil' was quite a no show as he failed to create the stir the song
demands. Also he did not comply with the crowd's repeated request for 'Daru Desi' which was quite a dampener. Now in spite of all this, we enjoyed the show
because of Life's performance. The rendition of 'Inteha ho gayi' by the
band's lead singer Piyush Kapoor was groovy as was their song dedicated to
Rajnikanth. Now my only grouse with the show was why call it a Benny Dayal
event if he was there only for guest appearance. Also the abrupt way the show
ended where Piyush just announced that the song which they just sang was the
last song of the day was quite a mood spoiler. Again here Benny Dayal was
missing in action as he failed to even end the show or address the crowd when
the show ended. Because of this the show ended on a low note and we left with a
not so good feeling.
But thumbs up for Life, the saving grace of the show!
Would want to talk to you.
