Annu Kapoor’s ‘Suhana Safar’ on Radio
Radio,
a medium of news and broadcast became a source of Entertainment with the great
radio presenter; Ameen Sayani in 1950’s which was aired every morning
addressing his listeners as ‘Behno Aur Bhaiyon’. Over the time we have come
across some really big names but the presenters have now become mere Radio
Jockeys. Annu Kapoor has revived those times with his hit radio show on
92.7 BIG FM with “Suhana Safar with Annu Kapoor”.
Suhana
Safar with Annu Kapoor has stood out as one of those shows which does not rely
on Bollywood chartbusters, but it explores and educates his listeners with
tales of Bollywood from the Golden Era of the 50’s to 80’s. Annu Kapoor has
been personally involved in researching the stories that he has known over
his 3 decades in the industry. Stories of the struggles of Mohd. Rafi, or the
start of Pancham Da has recieved tremendous response from the
audience with inundated emails and tweets. With his charisma and intellect and
a team of great enthusiast, Annu Kapoor has taken Suhana Safar with
Annu Kapoor from a TRP of 8 to 22, making it the No. 1 Radio Show today.
It
is
great to see that in the age of item numbers and remixes, this show
still keeps alive the sweet melodies of the yesteryears of our industry
like Meena
Kumari, Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Madhubala, Ashok Kumar, etc. Annu Kapoor
has given rebirth to the real meaning to Radio Entertainment.
