Decked up in nauvaris and armed with ukuleles, Pune-based sisters Antara and Ankita Nandy regaled the listeners with their version of Reshamachya reghanni on Maharashtra Day, accompanied by the beats of ghungroo tied around their ankles and a few thumkas. The two-minute clip, that's shot on their verandah, has over four million views on YouTube alone, much like their other videos from the series they call Balcony Concert.

The series, which has become a hit with netizens during the lockdown, took off when the sisters, who hail from Assam, weren't able to head to their home state ahead of Bihu, in April. Twenty-one-year-old Antara, a playback singer who's worked with biggies like AR Rahman, shares, "During Bihu, we spend time in Assam, meeting our family, friends and performing for a few shows. Since we were missing that, we decided to dress up and sing for fun. Our mother wrapped us up in the mekhola, and we sang the Assamese song Phul phulise boxontot to an imaginary audience from the balcony." As the video looked nice, Antara uploaded it on her social media handle, and within hours, the duo was flooded with messages from relatives and friends from across the country saying their song was going viral. "We were so encouraged as we had shot that for fun. Both of us then knew that the Balcony Concert was here to stay," Ankita, 18, chips in.
