Talking about the Navratri Utsav, Falguni Pathak said, "Navratri has always been more than a festival for me, it is an emotion that brings people together through music, devotion and celebration. Every year, it is incredibly special to see generations come together to sing, dance and create memories that last a lifetime."
"I am truly blessed and excited to return for Navratri Utsav 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre, a venue that allows us to celebrate on an even grander scale, without interruptions. There is nothing quite like sharing these nine nights with thousands of people who come together for the same joy, energy and tradition. I can't wait to celebrate with everyone once again."

Honestly, Falguni Pathak is THE Navratri queen. I have been attending her utsav since years, and she has an inexplicable ability to connect with the crowd across generations. That moment when she starts "Radha Kaise Na Jale" and the whole arena sways together is pure magic. The new venue sounds promising, as the previous ones would always be plagued with rains. Count me in for the Oct celebrations!
It warms my heart to see tradition done right with such grand production. Navratri is not just about the garba steps but about the togetherness—kids, parents and grandparents dancing to the same dhol beats. This initiative by TribeVibe and Alphonso Studios looks promising. I hope they keep the admission prices reasonable so that the common Mumbaikar can afford to soak in this cultural vibe. 🪔✨
While I genuinely appreciate Falguni Pathak's contribution, I wish they would bring back the outdoor ground celebrations in the city. The open-air Garba in the cool Mumbai weather has a certain charm that indoor venues just can't capture. Sure, it's more comfortable inside, but a big part of the magic is the chaos, the late-night dandiya, and the street food stalls. Still, I'll give this 'premium' setup a chance, because it's Falguni Pathak after all. 🪘
Attending Falguni Pathak's Utsav is on my bucket list since college days, and I finally plan to go this year! I love how she treats Navratri like a family reunion on a massive scale. The fact that they are having a pre-sale exclusively for last year's attendees is a smart move; it shows they really care about their loyal audience. Absolutely thrilled to witness this grand celebration at a convention centre in BKC. 🪔💃
