Some messages received…
Simply marvelous. Your best ever. And it impresses me how you do so much of research and then beautifully bind it in the script. U. K. Sinha, Former Chairman, Securities and Exchange Board of India
I do not recall having sat through a musical program spell bound for over 2.5 hours uninterrupted. The way yourself and Sangeeta Bedi took the audience through the life stage of Sahir and his timeless lyrics was just memorable. R. S. Sharma, Retd. Chairman, ONGC
Excellent as ever. Nothing could be more suitable for the show as Sahir didn't keep a dividing line between his 'adab' and film lyrics. Really outstanding work. Sahir would have been very happy to see this production. But he would say, where was another poet on whom such programme could be made? Prashant Saran, Former Wholetime Member, Securities and Exchange Board of India
