Great! As usual the program on Shakeel was interesting, the song selection was sensibly done and the format was rich. Such a great talent, such varied compositions, such a prolific writer but the audience knew little about the man, his moods, his inner mindscape.

Spectacular…display of all facets of music, showcasing the imagination and expression of the lyricist.

I have not attended such a wholesome event before. Dr. Ajay Jain, Partner, Jurisprudent Consulting

Your shows are among the most beautifully executed shows in Delhi. That you focus on poets/lyricist, who are generally a neglected lot, makes the whole exercise extremely rewarding. I have been attending performances and music shows from my childhood but I would put your shows on a very high esteem. And Naveen you have started singing very well. Naresh Khattar 

Congratulations on the show-excellent concept and beautifully executed. For me, the quality of the singers elevated the show to a different level-and that includes Naveen. Neelam Kohli
