Talking about the show, Bipin R Pandit Founder, Owner & Compere of Khumaar said: “Khumaar has become a huge brand in the past 19 years. I have often said that to fill up an auditorium with a capacity of 900 plus is not a joke. In fact, it is extremely difficult. The audience have become very discerning. If Khumaar could successfully hold them spell bound for five and a half hours year after year, it speaks volumes about the quality of the show put up.
It is my endeavour to present my show innovatively every time and hold the audience by surprise. This time the standout feature was a presentation in corporate style on Rafi Saab and three innovative segments of songs newly introduced. Not to forget the institution of the prestigious Rafi Saab award, which was handed over to Ruhaan Kapoor, who received the award on behalf of his father the Late and Great Mahendra Kapoor. The best part was when the audience chanted in unison the tag line of Khumaar “Khumaar Nahi Dekha Toh Phir Kyaa Dekha”.
