Why the 90s still sing
The 90s gave Hindi cinema some of its most melodious love songs, and Kumar Sanu’s voice was at the centre of them. They are the songs that millennials and their parents both know word for word, which makes them ideal for anniversaries, reunions, alumni nights and weddings. Dharmik Chudasama performs them live with a singalong-friendly arrangement.
What the set sounds like
Expect the big romantic duets — with the crowd taking the female parts — and the softer solos in between, often paired with Udit Narayan and Sonu Nigam favourites from the same decade for a full 90s evening.
Where it works
A 90s set is made for rooms that like to sing.
- Anniversary and alumni evenings
- Wedding sangeets and receptions
- House parties and retro nights
- Hotel and lounge theme nights
The sound of the early 90s, and how to use it
The early 90s produced a run of romantic films whose songs are still the soundtrack of many weddings and anniversaries. Their melodies are built to be sung back: a simple hook, a gentle build and a chorus that a whole room can join. The voices of that era — soft, warm and emotional — set the template for a love song.
In a live set these songs work best in a block, after dinner and before the dance floor opens, when guests are relaxed and ready to sing. A sequence of four or five, with a short pause between them, gives the room time to remember the film each one belongs to.
The soft melodies of the nineties
Kumar Sanu’s voice defined the romantic hit of the nineties: a smooth, nasal tone, long phrases and a warmth that suited the films of the decade. Many of his best-known songs were duets with Alka Yagnik, and a live set often recreates that sound with a duo or a guest vocalist. The songs are easy to sing along to, and they carry a strong feeling of nostalgia for those who grew up with them.
Where the nineties set shines
A nineties set suits reunions, college farewells, wedding receptions with millennial guests, club nights and birthday parties for people in their thirties and forties. It sits well after a retro block and before a modern one, and it fills a dance floor for the slower couple songs. The set is planned with a few of the biggest hits and a few lesser-known favourites, so that the room has both comfort and surprise.
The duets of the nineties
Kumar Sanu’s hits were often duets, and a live set recreates them with a second voice. Tujhe Dekha Toh, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh and many others are conversations between two singers, and the pleasure is in the interplay. A duo with a guest vocalist, or a recorded second voice, fills in the other half, and an audience that grew up with the originals will sing it for the missing part.
