Singer Arijit Singh electrified audiences at a sold-out show organised by the Raging Tiger Concert Series as part of the ongoing Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF 2015).
The 28-year-old sensation collaborated with a 50-piece Grand Symphony Orchestra from London at the Sheikh Rashid Hall Dubai World Trade Centre on Thursday night.
Clad in a blue jacket and full-frame reading glasses Arijit magnetised thousands of his fans with a vibrant on-stage performance that comprised an eclectic mix of compositions.
These included Jiya from Gunday Tum Hi Ho from Aashiqui 2 Laal Ishq from Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-leela Phir Le Aya Dil from Barfi! Mohabbat Barsa Dena Tu from Creature 3D Jo Bheji Thi Duaa from Shanghai and Main Rang Sharbaton Ka from Phata Poster Nikhla Hero.
Singing in his characteristic satiny voice Arijit brought the night to life with ecstatic fans jiving along.
Putting a number of Bollywood tracks to the music of Western string brass woodwind and percussion instruments the symphony proved to be a smashing hit much to the delight of those present.
With calls for an encore Arijit Singh the tuneful lad from Murshidabad India once again made his audiences trip the light fantastic.
Be it his sensational vocals rumpled hair or the electric guitar flung across his shoulder the singer has indeed come a long way from being a finalist in the Indian reality music show Fame Gurukul in 2005.
The concert was a huge success as was evidenced from the standing ovation Singh received from a jam-packed auditorium.
