First thing first.Powai Fine Arts has to be applauded for holding a concert in open air in Galleria mall.It was a wonderful surrounding with home coming birds settling on trees to listen to a concert.The temperature was right and wonderful .I am happy I attended this open air concert very rare in Mumbai.
Another marvellous concert from Gurucharan and his team continuing in the same form from yesterday where they left .A neat 2 hr 45 min concert.
Gurucharan started with varnam and srigananatha – geetham.I was a bit surprised with this song as it was too basic for me to be sung in a concert ,but he made up by singing changing speed.
Shri jalandara was new to me with nice swarams in between.

Highlight was the saramati Arula vendum stunningly sung with neraval followed by Akilandeshwari beautifully.
Kalyani song sundari was crisp with A N S .
Arulavendum and Meerabhajan were melodious.

Sanjeev on violin was once again a wonderful support with beautiful returns in saramati ,kalyani and dwijavanti.
Thani by Neveli Venkatesh and Bombay Venkatesh was once again very short,may be they dint want audience to go out.

Another wonderful perfectly planned concert of Gurucharan ,in open air -a treat indeed.
