Saregama's dose of retro Bollywood gadgetry

Saregama's latest gift item is a collection 5,000 songs from legend Bollywood singers like Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar and many more.

Are you one of those who believes in the philosophy of “Old is Gold”? Does the title of your music playlist say – Evergreen Bollywood retro songs? Do you prefer Kishore Kumar over Arijit Singh? If the answer to all these questions is “yes”, then Saregama has just the right thing for you – a retro music player.

When we say a retro music player, we mean a digital music player resembling an old radio set. And, it is full of Indian songs from the days of big old radio sets; 5,000 of them. It is sold by Saregama and is called “Carvaan”, which can be yours for a sum of Rs 5,990.

The pre-loaded 5,000 songs on Carvaan have been handpicked and categorised based on singers, lyricists, music composers, moods etc. With a simple turn of a knob, one can switch from Kishore Kumar classics to R.D Burman’s hits, to timeless love songs or to soulful Sufi tracks – all in their original versions, without any advertisements. Carvaan’s music collection also includes Ameen Sayani’s Geetmala countdown collection spanning 50 years.

The Carvaan also has a built in FM Radio and the option to play your own collection through a USB drive. If you have a smartphone, then you can also stream your songs wirelessly to the player through its Bluetooth connectivity. In short, it is a fancy portable music player pre-loaded with retro songs. The player has a rechargeable battery with 5 hours of playback capability.

The Carvaan is available in two colours and can be purchased from major e-tailers and chains like Croma, Reliance Digital etc. as well as electronic and TV stores across the country from 22nd May onwards.
