We’re thrilled to have Mysore Anand display-he’s warm, hilarious and great show It was absolutely made our night and brought back old memories, and everyone enjoyed in tears laughing. Our local talents children’s performances were mind-blowing. Later the melodies songs and dances added a colourful flavour to the event. Ms Gabrielle Williams Member of Parliament for Dandenong, representing of Hon’ble Premier Daniel Andrews as our Chief guest and she spoke high about Sangha and appreciated our services to the community. She also promised to support our future Kannada Bhavana from Victorian Government.

Thereafter, Dr Shivaraj Kumar received a warm welcome by aarathi and children lined up with candle lights and music; ‘SHIVA ..SHIVA ‘ song, whole crowd welcomed with standing ovation which mesmerised everyone with joy and brought a cheerful atmosphere . Sriharsha, (Singer) took over the stage with melodies music of Kannada & Hindi fusion songs. Shivanna song ‘Jenina Holeyu Haalina Holeyu ‘ gave an energetic spirit to Rajyostsva then ‘Jagave Ondu Ranaranga’ added a great flavour and Tagaru dance was absolutely spectacular! We loved every minute of it! The electricity coming from the stage was amazing. The sparks were flying, and the FLASHMOB dance of Shivanna’s superhit movie songs was just stunning!! Even Shivanna joined the crowd and danced with ecstasy.! There is no words to describe how magnificent it looked. The event was just a masterpiece of combination of music & dance, every moment of it was entertaining.
Dr Shivaraj Kumar was honoured with a presentation of title ‘MOOMBA STAR’ in recognition for his outstanding performance and achievement across the Kannada cinema spectrum.
Dr Shivaraj Kumar kick started our Kannada Bhavana project by unveiling the KANNADA BHAVANA model and pledge to give complete support to makes our dream come true. Furthermore, he made announcement that the two of ‘KAVACHA’ movie profit will be given to proposed Kannada Bhavana.
We were honoured to have great sponsors who were instrumental in making the event happen however without their financial support we would have never pictured for our hopes and dreams to come to life on stage and be such a success.
We were all so anxious to see how the night would turn out the turn out and we are proud to be able to inform you many thanks to all supporters & volunteers. All those involved have worked incredibly hard over the last 3 months which consists of lengthy preparations and incessant rehearsals striving to make the opening night performance the best it could possibly be.
Everyone had a blast, it’s been a long time since we all had dinner together, which was a memorable moment. The word ‘WOW’ was heard at every corner after the event. The overwhelming attendance has created an amazing golden milestone in the history of Melbourne Kannada Sangha.
Lastly Melbourne Kannada Sangha apologies for any lapses and untoward incidents.
