Esplanade Presents

(Intermission: None)
Esplanade Concourse
An evening stripped down to its purest for just voices, strings, and memories. Join Mazhai and Nilesh for an unplugged musical journey through the golden eras from 1960 to 2009, where melodies spoke softly yet lingered deeply. From the gentle longing of Unnale Unnale to the dreamy romance of Venmathiye, this set pays tribute to a time when love felt slower, simpler, and more sincere. With no heavy production or distractions, experience raw acoustics that echo late-night radio, quiet bus rides, and fleeting moments that once meant everything. Come sit with us, breathe it in, and rediscover love, effortlessly, through music.
