Daastaan-e-Rajinder Krishan, Kolkata 21^st June, 2024

After a successful staging in Delhi, Mumbai, Dubai and Jaipur, Ibaadat brought its Daastaan-e-Rajinder Krishan show to Kolkata in the 1103-seater Kala Mandir. As usual, the show was scripted in conversational style, in which Rajinder Krishan’s son, Rajesh Duggal, and Madan Mohan’s daughter, Sangeeta Gupta, also participated. In this musical drama, 84 of his most poetic film songs, in full or mukhdas-antaras, were rendered by 7 consummate singers and two child artistes. Some of his shers were also presented.

The event received an overwhelming appreciation.
