Various patriotic songs were presented one after another, and the actual song clippings were displayed on the LED screen in the backdrop. This created a tremendous impact, with emotions woven with words from the song and the flow of movie clipping of the songs in perfect sync. The audience was overwhelmed and each song received strong applause.

Rang Tarang is a cultural organisation spearheaded by Hina Mehta, Nikita Mehta. They worked hard and campaigned to gather a substantial amount for the Army while putting together the entire show on their own.
