Malaysia has become a hotspot for international concerts in recent years, with artists from around the globe gracing our shores to perform for their fans.
Among these, the ‘Ungale Vechi Krishh’ concert that took place last Saturday (24 August), at Megastar Arena, Kuala Lumpur, stands out as a truly unforgettable experience.
Krishh is a beloved playback singer in the Indian cinema industry. His career began with the song “Manjal Veyyil,” which was composed by Harris Jeyaraj for the 2006 film Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu.
But what’s a playback singer anyway?
Playback singers are the real MVPs who sing the songs that actors pretend to sing in movies.
So, while you’re watching your fave stars busting moves on screen, it’s actually these singers’ voices that make the magic happen. Cool, right?
The Pre-Show
The arena doors opened at 5:30 PM, and soon the venue was buzzing with excitement as fans eagerly filled the seats, ready to see their favourite playback singer take the stage.
Hosting the evening were the dynamic duo, RJ Vijay—a popular radio jockey and actor from Kollywood—and the beloved television presenter Keerthi Shantanu, affectionately known as Kiki.
Their chemistry and energy lit up the arena, perfectly setting the stage for the main event.
To warm up the crowd, stellar performances were delivered by Reshma S. Shyam, Soundarya Bala Nandakumar, and Ramya NSK—three of the finest female playback singers in Indian cinema.
They were accompanied by local talents handpicked by Krish himself through a pre-concert audition, including Kasturi Vellasamy, Sharanya Vasu, Priya Selan, Jeevanraj Venugopal, Komalaa, and Thanushan Jayakumar.
The Main Event
As anticipation reached its peak, the lights dimmed and a hush fell over the crowd. Suddenly, the stage burst to life as Krish made his grand entrance, greeted by thunderous applause and cheers that echoed throughout the arena.
Dressed impeccably and exuding charisma, he kicked off the night with his iconic hit, “Unale Unale,” dedicating the song to his loyal fans who have supported him throughout his illustrious career.
The performance itself was nothing short of spectacular. Krish delivered a mesmerizing medley of 30 songs over two hours without a single BREAK, showcasing his incredible stamina and passion for music.
The setlist was a perfect blend of his greatest hits and other beloved tracks that resonated deeply with the Malaysian audience.
A standout moment was his rendition of “Girls Like You” by Adam Levine, which added a refreshing and unexpected twist to the evening.
The crowd’s energy matched that of Krish’s, with fans singing along to every song and dancing in the aisles.
At one unforgettable point, the audience took the lead, passionately singing the song “June Ponnal” while Krish stood back, visibly moved by the overwhelming show of love and support.
It was a true “Krish Shocked, The Crowd Rocked” moment that encapsulated the profound connection between the artist and his fans.
