The musical-extravaganza starts with legend Mohammad Rafi's Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki (Dulari, 1949) and moves on to Raj Kapoor- Nargis starrer Shree 420's (1955)Mera Joota Hai Japani. The talented six wrap up the golden era of Bollywood withEena Meena Deeka (Aasha, 1957) and Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh (Dil Apna Aur Preet Parai, 1960). The singers' wardrobe, lighting, et al remains true to the black and white era.
Now dressed in glorious technicolour and printed shirts, they make the music from the '60s enjoyable with peppy romantic numbers like Aaja Aaja (Teesri Manzil, 1969) and Roop Tera Mastana (Aradhana, 1969).
The hits from the 70s will make you want to dance. With gamchas and scarves tied Tariq Khan from Hum Kisis Kum Naheen (1977) style these men sing Bachna Ae Haseeno Lo Main Aa Gaya and Khaike Paan Banarasa Wala (Don, 1978).
At this point, quite inexplicably, disco switches to the Nineties with only the briefest of nods to the Eighties with Intezar Ho Gayi from Sharaabi (1984). So those hoping for a Sridevi fix - look elsewhere.
The '90s are a Shah Rukh Khan fest with Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, 1995), Dil to Pagal Hai (1997) and Chaiyya Chaiyya (Dil Se, 1998) punctuated by Aamir Khan's Pehla Nasha (Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, 1992). One singer even has his sweater tied over his shoulders in true SRK fashion.
The next costume change will take you by suprise. 'Why are they dressed like Punjabi folk singers?' you'll ask yourself. But wait for it...and here comes Tunak Tunak Tun. Clearly, they've dedicated this period to Daler Mehndi. Fans of his like Deadmau5 we are guessing.
The last set has our new favourites like Munni Badnam Hui (Dabangg, 2010), Sheila Ki Jawani (Tees Maar Khan, 2010) and Dilliwaali Girlfriend (Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, 2013).
