After delivering back to back chartbusters like ‘Jag Ghoomeya’, ‘Swag se Swagat’ and ‘Dil diyan Gallan’ for Ali Abbas Zafar, Neha Bhasin is all set to woo the audiences with her upcoming track ‘Chashni’ from Bharat, another Ali Abbas Zafar directorial. For the uninitiated, Neha sang ‘Dhunki’ as well from Ali’s debut film ‘Mere brother ki Dulhan’ and all their collaborations have resulted in memorable songs. Chashni will be their fifth song together elaborates a source, “With Chashni Ali will be working with Neha Bhasin for the fifth time. All the songs have done exceedingly well and in some ways maybe Neha is a lucky mascot for Ali.” This is also Neha’s fourth track in recent times for Salman Khan, Heeriya from Race 3 being the last one before Chashni. Bharat’s music is hitting the right notes with the listeners and the Chashni reprise track is a beautiful melody rendered in Neha’s inimitable voice.
Those of you who have been around from the 1960's through the 1990's will remember the vibrant live music scene in almost every starred hotel in India. Those were the days when you walked into a nightclub like 'Rendezvous' at The Taj Mahal hotel and 'Supper Club' at the Oberoi Sheraton in Mumbai to see curtains going up on a band that was the prime focus of these outlets. Every seat in these restaurants allowed an unobstructed view of the band that performed every night on resident contracts. Today all this has disappeared thanks to some ridiculously high entertainment taxes on live music. Today, non off these hotels have complete bands playing save for a few that feature small duos or solo singers. The Lodhi in New Delhi, recently listed among the world's best hotels, decided to step in and rewind to the good old days. They got Goa's premier jazz quartet 'Jazz Junction' to move to Delhi on a resident contract and the decision has paid off in terms of footfalls generated by the band. Jazz Junction featuring singer Daniella Rodrigues, pianist Tony Dias,
bassist Colin D'Cruz and drummer Angelo Colasco began playing at The Lodhi in June 2018. Four months into the contract the band generated a sizeable following, with quite a few high profile guests choosing to celebrate their special occasion at the Elan bar where the band performs. Against all odds the rewind option proved to be a huge success and hopefully other properties around the country takes the cue to trigger a whole new revival of live music.
