Dhaval Patani, director of Futuristiq Entertainment who is bringing the Udit Narayan to Perth, said he expects the outcome to be huge for Udit who he describes as a “living legend”.
“The show will consist of duet and solo performances from both Udit Narayan and Madhushree, a live band from Mumbai, Bollywood dancers and a few surprise acts,” he said.
“The night will be magical, melodious and very romantic, just what we expect from Udit Narayan; people will definitely get their every dollar's worth, ” Patani claimed.
The Hindu Newspaper has quoted Narayan as an artist WHOSE music goes beyond language and knows no bounds, his singing ranging from soulful to romantic, and fast-paced to pop.

“His extensive musical knowledge, dedication and hard work pays off when he leaves both the audience and performers spellbound,” he said.
