The Bollywood Spectacular Extravaganza at The Sun City Superbowl, South Africa (24 July 2004)
South Africa's foremost holiday resort Sun City played host to the Bollywood Spectacular Extravaganza on Saturday 24 July 2004.
The entourage included top playback singers Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik with Bollywood superstars Kareena Kapoor, Chunky Pandey, Poonam Bhatia and Sajid Khan.
Kumar Sanu, one of the foremost playback singers in the Film Industry has sung in over 500 films and a total of over 10 000 songs. He has a Guinness book entry for recording an amazing 28 songs in a day - a testament not only to his polished technique, but also to his ability to quickly and effortlessly master unfamiliar material in the studio.
Alka Yagnik, who started her Bollywood career with Mere Angne Mein, steadily climbed the ladder of fame with Ek Do Theen the hit song from Tezaab and from there there was no looking back. Presently she is the top female playback singer of Bollywood and has rendered her voice to almost all the present generation of female actresses on the Bollywood celluloid.
Kareena Kapoor, born to the Kapoor family, was yet another Kapoor who made a huge splash in the film industry. Never in the history of films has a star sibling risen to a status of a mega star in such a short period of time. She signed on Refugee almost immediately after rejecting Rakesh Roshan's Kaho Naa Pyar Hai as differences between the director and herself led to her walking out of that project. She had a series of films, Yaaden with Hritik Roshan, K3G and Ashoka with Shah Rukh Khan and in 2003 she got a Stardust special award for her performance in Chameli.
She believes in herself strongly and her spunk is what separates her from the rest of the glam brigade and beneath that translucent skin lays a hunger that a truckload of her favourite snicker bars cannot satiate. She brushes aside her famine at the box office and she is confident it will bow to her one day. She has certainly convinced a long line of filmmakers, fat pay packets in hand and now all she needs is one blockbuster.
Poonam Batia has performed more than 200 musical shows in India and abroad whilst Sajid Khan is a we3ll known Indian comedian and Bollywood director who anchors television shows like Ikke Pe Ikka and Sab Kuch Ho Sakta Hai.
Chunky Panday has received huge acclaim as an action Bollywood star and is also the most sought after actor in Bangladesh. He has hosted many television talent contests and he brings his own imitable style to the variety show.
The host for the evening was Sajid Khan and in true comedian style had his first go with the audience immediately upon taking the stage, when he asked them to observe a minute's silence before the commencement of the show, on the death of Mumbai's leading founder member of the film industry. It turned out to be a hoax and a dig at the audience.
Sun City turned out to be fun city as Poonam Bhatia, took to the stage and with her only performance on stage during this concert, with a series of songs including Bheegey Hoote Pe from Murder and Bin Tere Sanam
After taking a dig at Adnan Sami Khan with reference to his fatness, Sajid Khan introduced Kumar Sanu who belted out his IIFA nominated song from Humraaz. In a non stop sequence Kumar Sanu sang all his favourites songs.
he choice of songs included Tum Dil ke Dharkan mein rehte ho, Kisse se tum pyar karo, his ever favourite from Ashiquee, Woh Ladki Bahoot Yaad aaite hai, and his song from 1942 A Love Story.
Other songs during his first appearance included Tere Darpe sanam, Pehle pehle baar pyar kissie se hota hai, and his ever favourite from Jurm.
It is interesting to note that if you were part of the audience of the Kumar Sanu Show held at the Sandton Convention Centre in South Africa last year in May, you would have noticed that there did not seem to be any difference in his performance or his choice of songs since then.
Alka Yagnik took to the stage with a bevy of dancers to the tune of Daya Daya daya re..., Oodni oodke naache, Haila Haila, Tauba tumare hai ishara amongst others.
She was indeed the star of the show belting out all the favourites of the audience which also included film favourites such as Bole Churiya from K3G, Kal Ho Naa Ho and the title track from the popular Hum Tum.
Chunky Pandey and Sajid Khan took to the stage from Alka Yagnik with the same comedy staged at the Bollywood Electric Concert in Durban a year back, having a dig at each other about sex appeal and dancing to ande ke phande, disco dancer etc.
Kareena Kapoor made a glamorous first of two entries onto the stage with a dance sequence and stated that although she was a little unwell however she was happy to come back to South Africa.
It was then time for duets by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik as they commenced with their ever popular song from Haan Maine Bhi Pyar Kiya he, Teri Chunariya, Mera Dil bhi Kitna Pagal hai, Dheere Dheere pyar ko barhane he, Raha ho me tumse mulaquaat hogaye, Bazigar, Pocho zara Pocho, Jo haal hai dilka, and Mai raste mein jaha raha tha.
Other duets included Churake dil mera, Soldier Soldier, Ladkie badie anjaanie he, thuje na deko tho chain muje aata nahee hai,Kahie pyar na Hojaye and Bole Bale Ladkie.
And that brought down the curtains to a show which was received with mixed reactions. Some members of the audience were disappointed with the choice of Sanu's songs as there was a lack of recent hits which could have easily been included into his performance, whilst others felt that Kareena Kapoor could have performed more dance sequences on stage as many came from far and a wide solely to watch her perform.
Also some of the audience expected Kareena to sing the song Jab nahee aaye tum from the movie Dev as it was her debut attempt at playback singing.
Undoubtedly, Alka Yagnik had done justice to her performance giving the audience hits from both old and new films which had the audience raving and chanting for more, but, there still seemed something was amiss at the Bollywood Spectacular Extravaganza and I really cannot put my finger onto it.

Kumar Sanu at Arena of Stars in Genting Highlands
Kumar Sanu who lends his voice to many Bollywood superstars lived up to his moniker ‘King of Melody’, writes ZIEMAN who was at his concert at Arena of Stars last Sunday.
Playback singer Kumar Sanu gave a marathon three-and-a-half hour performance – his first solo concert in Malaysia – just singing songs that his fans craved for.
But for hard-core Bollywood fans, this is the man behind the faces of handsome screen heroes such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Sunil Shetty, Akhshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan.
It was obvious the anticipated Bollywood crowd was missing at the Arena of Stars in Genting Highlands last Sunday and only the true-blue Kumar Sanu (pronounced Shanu) fans would make a date to see him perform.
The turnout was not encouraging but it did not dampen the spirit of the “King of Melody”. He delivered his promise to give what his fans came for – songs and more songs in his first solo concert in Malaysia.
Sanu made his grand stage entrance in a dazzling black outfit and looked rather impatient to render his numbers. The audience cheered as Sanu made his way down the steps and went straight into his first song.
His songs, mostly from Hindi films, were almost like a veritable treasure trove of hits. As he sang, at times non-stop, Sanu made sure it sounded better each time. Sanu’s signature voice sounded so familiar to those who have watched movies like Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya, Hello Brother, Yes Boss, Kasoor, Pardes, Dilwale Dulhannia Le Jayenge, Deewana, Hum Hain Raahi Ke and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
For a veteran who has recorded more than 8,000 songs for 800 films and once held a record for recording 28 songs in a day, singing a marathon of songs was no mean task. Sanu managed his vocals with such ease and showed that he had excellent stamina.
Undoubtedly one of the leading playback singers, Sanu belongs to the second generation of legendary playback singers after Mohd Rafi, Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. From the early 1980s to the mid-90s, Sanu was the most sought-after playback singer in Bollywood. He had a hand in almost all the popular Hindi films then.
But currently, Sanu is pitted against Udit Narayan, the other favourite and popular playback singer who is THE voice of Shah Rukh Khan.
From Sanso Ki Zaroorat Hai Jaise, Sanu sailed through a string of songs the likes of Chori Chori Jab Nazare Mili, Tere Dar Par Sanam, Do Dil Mil Rahe Hai, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha, Meri Mehbooba, Tuje Dekha To Yeh Jana Sanam, Aaj Mein Upar, Pardesi Pardesi Jana Nahin and the ever popular Meri Mehbooba.
The audience was too polite to make any requests and the singer did not interact much with them and spoke only when necessary.
His limited dance skills proved that he was no performer and his eight back-up dancers were left to do the job. Sanu was almost like a mannequin at times and hardly made any attempt to dance. Singing was his forte and he did just that, taking three short breaks throughout the evening.
Sanu had three guest singers – Poonam Bhatia, Anupriya and Aiyub Samad – but it was Poonam who matched him. Their voices complemented each other and they did several duets.
The crowd went wild when familiar tunes from the movies were heard. Poonam, in an electric blue outfit, may not be in the same league as other female playback singers the likes of Alka Yagnik, Anuradha Paudwal or Kavita Krishnamurthy, but her voice certainly demanded a listen.
Sadly though Anupriya was not as good. Her shrill voice lacked the maturity that Poonam’s has. Aiyub was quite impressive, singing two numbers, one of which was a song from the film Sangam.
When Sanu returned to the stage after his first break, it was duet time with Poonam once again. The audiences were having a good time, swaying to the music.
Sunil who was the emcee for the night provided the humour although everything was in Hindi. But as he mimicked Salman Khan, Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar, Shah Rukh Khan and Johnny Lever, the non-Hindi speaking crowd was appreciative of his efforts. At one point, he even imitated the sounds of a train changing tracks.
The back-up musicians were commendable as they created the right feel, making the songs sound like film scores.
By the time Sanu launched into his last session, it was clear that boredom had set in and some were headed for the exit.
However, the grand finale was rather impressive, with him singing a popular song from the movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Despite the shortcomings, Sanu deserved a pat on the back for singing songs that his fans craved for.
The show was a bit too long, akin to a Hindi movie. But then, three and a half hours of songs, dance minus drama is exceptionally “sweet” by normal standard.
Though Sanu’s vocals have enthralled audiences worldwide in 17 languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati and Punjabi, the recent concert proved that you need more than just a voice to draw people to a Bollywood concert.
