Suhaana Safar with Annu Kapoor gives listeners an opportunity to listen to music from the golden era of Indian film music - between 1955 and 1985. Hosted by the affable Annu Kapoor, the show enables listeners to relive the golden era year-by-year while taking them on an exhilarating journey where the actor narrates behind-the-scene incidents, interesting facts and trivia about movies and plays the top 12 songs of a particular year. While songs from the era are etched in listeners’ minds, the stories behind these glorious melodies are relatively unknown. The romantic, melodious, lyrically charming, meticulously orchestrated and harmoniously sung songs of the golden-era are a treat to the senses and epitomize Hindi film music’s finest period.

Ashwin Padmanabhan, Business Head, 92.7 BIG FM said: “Our most recently launched show Suhaana Safar with Annu Kapoor has reverberated excellently with audiences and has received an overwhelming response making us No. 1 in the time slot. Our programming has always been designed to meet audience preferences, and with this format of show coupled with Mr. Annu Kapoor as host, there couldn’t be a better offering.  The TSL (time spent listening) highlights the stickiness of the show and I commend the entire team for bringing together this exceptional aural experience on 92.7 BIG FM.”
