Theism Events India is back with the second season of Mumbai's favourite retro show, "Aaye Tum Yaad Mujhe," following the huge success of the previous season. This time, each performer, including Amit Kumar, Sudesh Bhosale, and Alok Katdare, as well as Bela Sulakhe, Priyanka Mitra, Saptak Bhattacharya, and Sriijiit, will take on the role of Kishore Kumar.
It would be led by RJ Gaurav and include Philharmonic Orchestration conducted by Mohit Shastry. The members of the Kishore Kumar family will also mark their presence at the event.
The concert will be hosted in Sri Shanmukhananda Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi Auditorium, Sion, where a packed house is expected to pay tribute to Kishore Kumar's legacy on August 5th, 2023, from 6 p.m. onwards, as it brings the magic to Mumbai!
Theism Events India, the entertainment arm of the Kolkata-based Theism Group, has long been a supporter of Kishore Kumar. For the last seven years, the famed "Tomay Poreche Mone" series of performances in Kolkata has brought to life a mixture of Kishore Kumar tunes via the voices of industry legends such as Amit Kumar, Bappi Lahiri, Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Kumar Sanu, Kavita Krishnamurthy, and others. Inspired by the success of the Tomay Poreche Mone concert series, Theism Events India came to Mumbai to bring Kishore Kumar's magic back to the city where he found his calling.
