Suketu also played his brand new remix Kya khoob lagti ho, which went down quite well with the party people.

Besides the current crop of hit Bollywood numbers, DJ Suketu also played out some old favourites like Dil deewana, Keh doon tumhein and Oye oye.

The newer tracks, of course, included Bin tere sanam, Woh lamhey, Kajra re, Just chill and Dus bahane.
