It was a spectacular performance with the highest level of proficiency. It’s my great pleasure to be present here, to be able to see and listen to the Largest Indian Cinematic Music Band. It is a tribute to the heroes of the past. I would like to congratulate Amazon Prime Video for this achievement.
