Sare Gama produly presents - Celebrating the Legends from 100 years of Bollywood with Roop Kumar Rathod and Sunali Rathod


This September in the run up to the 100th year anniversary of Bollywood, Saregama Events presents to the UK audience an event that has been awaited with baited breath – ‘Celebrating the Legends’

Saregama PLC, the European subsidiary of India’s largest and best-known music company, presents the inaugural celebration of 100 years of Bollywood by bringing to the UK a concert tour that pays tribute to some of the greatest singers from the Indian sub continent. Bollywood has come a long way since its first ever film made in 1913. In recent years the international recognition received after Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay! as well as the award-winning Slumdog Millionaire brought popularity of Indian Cinema to the West. However it is the music of the films that is best remembered, and it was with Saregama that most Indian legends began their careers, lending their voices to the mega stars on screen.

To this end, modern yet classically trained singing sensations Roop Kumar Rathod and Sunali Rathod (the voices behind many contemporary hits from Bollywood blockbusters to Ghazals and Sufi songs) will showcase the incredible vocal talents of legends Mohammad Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Talat Mahmood and Noor Jehan in what promises to be a musical masterpiece.

The husband and wife duo will travel with eight carefully selected musicians to Birmingham, Leicester and London, taking UK audience on a trip down memory lane in an evening of unforgettable timeless melodies from yesteryear in addition to Roop’s own hits from Bollywood.

“Celebrating the Legends is our grandest project to date and we don't mind being loud and proud about it. We will be honoring some of the sub continent’s finest singers and their landmark songs. Roop and Sunali are classically trained musicians and yet commercially successful therefore are the most appropriate choice to pay tribute to these great artists, made especially poignant in the lead up to the 100th anniversary.
