‘Big bang’ a Western music show was the last pro-show of Saarang-2000 and was possibly held on 24th January 2000. The artists who performed that evening at the Institute’s Open Air Theatre were Juravi, Burn, Moksha and Nemesis Avenue. The Western music show was probably the only show in Chennai where almost all genres of western music were covered on one night. The show was highly popular among the younger audience. The artists covered ‘sing along’ popular numbers from the 60’s through the 90’s.
Saarang 2000 was a 6 day cultural festival that was held from 21st-26th January 2000. It was formally inaugurated by Prof. C. R. Muthukrishnan (Deputy Director, IITM). The inauguration was followed by a classical dance show by Ms. Shoba Natarajan (a disciple of Sri Vempati Sathyam). Over the course of 6 days, a number of literary and cultural events took place at various venues across the campus. These venues include the Open Air Theatre (OAT), Humanities and Sciences Block (HSB), Central Lecture Theatre (CLT) and more. From quizzes to fusion music, Saarang 2000 was extremely popular, especially among the 4th year students who felt that this was the best of the 4 Saarangs they had seen owing to the better pro-shows, better organized events, lots of new features and much improved overall participation.
