From the legendary M.M. Keeravani’s grand live concert and Prateek Kuhad’s soul-stirring melodies to an intimate poetry and storytelling session, this weekend is packed with events that will leave you feeling inspired and entertained. Not to mention, if you're in the mood for some puppy love or open-mic magic, Hyderabad has that covered too.
1. M.M. Keeravani Live in Concert
Few composers have shaped Indian music like M.M. Keeravani, the genius behind iconic soundtracks from Baahubali to RRR. This concert is a celebration of a musical legend, featuring some of his greatest compositions performed live. Expect a grand symphonic experience. It will be a night filled with sweeping melodies and larger-than-life moments.
When: Saturday, March 22, 7 pm
Where: Hitex Hall, Izzat Nagar
Tickets: ₹1,999 onwards
2. Abhay Deol Plays DJ
Yes, actor Abhay Deol is coming to town, and no, he’s not starring in a new film. This DJ set is part of his 5-city tour, where he will be playing house and techno music. Joining him on stage is the dynamic Lazie Bonzs. If you’re a fan (of techno, house or the dimpled actor), this is a rare chance to see him in a different light.

3. Prateek Kuhad Live
Indie music darling Prateek Kuhad is here to make you feel all the feelings with his signature acoustic sound. If you’re one to swoon over his lyrics, or hum along to Cold/Mess and his other heartbreak songs, this concert is for you. It will be one of his last shows before he takes a summer break.
