Fans in Mumbai are going to get together to celebrate the birth anniversary of the iconic playback singer KK on 24th August 2025 at Lata Mangeshkar NatyaGruha Auditorium. The three-hour tribute – from 6 PM to 9 PM – will pay homage to the legacy of Krishnakumar Kunnath, a name synonymous with Bollywood as well as Indian pop. Renowned for his soulful, mesmerising voice and beautiful renditions, KK has stolen a million hearts with his tracks including “Tadap Tadap Ke” (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam), “Labon Ko” (Bhool Bhulaiyaa), “Yaaron” (Rockford), “Zara Sa” (Jannat) and an array of chartbusters that became the voice of romance, friendship and nostalgia.
This time, though, his songs will be sung by Amit Jadhav from X Factor India.
KK was born on August 23, 1968, and his musical career lasted for over 30 years. He released his first song with “Chhod Aaye Hum” in the Bollywood film Maachis (1996) and in no time achieved success in Hindi cinema with “Tadap Tadap Ke” in 2000. His range took him across genres — from the high-octane “Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai” (Woh Lamhe) to the poignant “Beete Lamhein” (Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi). Apart from his playback career, KK’s non-film albums such as Pal (1999) and Humsafar (2008) made him a pop legend in his own right. And his punch-the-wall ability to scream real emotion from phrase to phrase made everything he sang feel viscerally personal.
KK’s shows were infamous for their electricity and intimacy. He was also known for chatting to his fans during his performances, with many a behind-the-scenes tales and even choosing to dedicate songs to the audience. Packed auditoriums and open-air stages alike reverberated with fans singing along in unison—testaments to his passionate following. And “Yaaron” was the impromptu anthem of friendship wherever there was a graduation, reunion or farewell — peace, musical Comrade! — and “Khuda Jaane” (Bachna Ae Haseeno, with Shilpa Rao) is still the go-to tune for wedding sangeets.
For the fans who will sing along to KK’s timeless hits and discuss their first time hearing his voice, as Mumbai gears up to celebrate KK in Mumbai. The Lata Mangeshkar NatyaGruha Auditorium commemorates still another giant in India’s musical pantheon in its title; its acoustics and resonant history make it the ideal setting.
But the night is also about more than just nostalgia; it’s a testament to KK’s lasting spirit. From the days of singing on gigs in Kolkata clubs to the first music festivals of India, to spearheading it, he never lost his humility, always giving his fans credit for where he’d reached. The music world is left poorer following his untimely death in 2022, but he still rejoins generations with his music. On this magical night, as the lights dim and the first strum of “Pal” echoes, Mumbai will come together in celebration, a testament to the fact that KK’s legend will continue to enchant us.
