This is how Ajit Jos who was at the show describes Raja Hasan`s performance in the Jai Ho Concert:

“he rocked the show da….

but arziyaan was truly awesume…”

Another show goes says:
“Raja was good…sung masakali… also a part of arziyan and he was part of the chorus in some other songs….”

he is better than some others in the concert.
