So, Who Are These Marathi Legends?
These aren’t just any singers or composers. We’re talking about some of the biggest names who gave Marathi music its soul:
- Sudhir Phadke (Babuji): The man behind melodies that have touched generations. His music isn’t just heard—it’s felt.
- Vasantrao Deshpande: A giant in classical music and natya sangeet, and Rahul Deshpande’s own grandfather. His legacy is a huge part of this tribute.
- P. L. Deshpande (Pu. La.): The beloved writer and musician whose wit and charm are legendary.
- Ga. Di. Madgulkar (GaDiMa): The poet whose words made Marathi music and theatre unforgettable.
This concert isn’t just about playing their songs—it’s about honoring their spirit, their artistry, and the culture they built.
Why Rahul Deshpande and Sharayu Date?
Rahul Deshpande
Rahul is the perfect person to carry this legacy forward. With his classical training and a personal connection to the music (being Vasantrao Deshpande’s grandson), his performances feel deeply authentic and heartfelt.
Sharayu Date
Sharayu’s voice is equally stunning—versatile, emotional, and perfect for bringing these timeless songs to life. Together, they create an experience that’s both powerful and moving.
What Can You Expect?
This is going to be an evening for those who want to feel the music, not just hear it. It’s about soaking in the beautiful bhavgeet, the grandeur of natya sangeet, and the classic film songs that have defined Marathi culture.
It won’t be a loud, high-energy concert. Instead, expect a soulful, intimate atmosphere where every note and every word will take you on a nostalgic journey.
Who Should Definitely Come?
- If you love Marathi bhavgeet, natya sangeet, or classic film songs, this is for you.
- If you appreciate Rahul Deshpande’s incredible talent and the depth of classical music.
- If you want to share Maharashtra’s rich musical heritage with younger family members.
- And if you’re looking for a peaceful, soul-stirring cultural evening.
This might not be the event for you if:

- You’re not really interested in Marathi classical or traditional music.
How to Make the Most of Your Evening
- Getting There: The Shri Nehru Stadium Indoor Hall at Swargate is pretty central.

- Arrive Early: Get there 20–30 minutes before the show to find your seat and settle in.
