मैंने आप का प्रोग्राम देखा. इसे प्रोग्राम नहीं बोलना चाहिए. ये अद्भुत, सुन्दर अनुभूति थी. आपने फ़िल्मी संगीत की धरोहर को जिस तरह बिना किसी समझौते के पेश किया, वो एक विनायक तोहफा था. बहुत बहुत साधुवाद. आप ये बहुत अच्छा करते हैं कि कोई गाना अन्तरे से शुरू करते हैं , कभी किसी मुखड़े से...बहुत अच्छा लगता है. पूरा गाना बहुत कम लोग सुनना चाहते हैं. जो बातचीत आप लोगों की होती है उसके लिए भी बहुत बहुत साधुवाद. बहुत अच्छे से भी बोलते हैं. आप ख़ुद को तो खास साधुवाद आपके परिश्रम के लिए, आप की मेहनत के लिए. ईश्वर आप की बहुत प्रगति करे, आप आगे बढ़ते रहें. और अगला प्रोग्राम और भी अच्छा हो. वल्लभ भाई ने बताया कि आप किसी एक शायर को ले कर show करते हैं पर ये जो आपने मिला जुला कर show किया, बहुत ज़्यादा powerful था, बहुत ज़्यादा असरदार था. मुझे ये प्रोग्राम अभी तक का आपका best प्रोग्राम लगा. Lata Bhanshali, Bhabhi of Vallabh Bhanshali
Very good show. The singers are very good. The new singers- Prajakta and Ravindra were also very nice. Meenu Bhanshali
इबादत की हर पेशगी – बेनमून मोहब्बत और बंदगी...9 सितारों का लाजवाब मजमा...आपने इबादत की कर दी इंतिहा...ऐसा प्रोग्राम कभी देखा ही नहीं. Vallabh Bhanshali, Chairman, Enam Securities Pvt. Ltd.

I look forward to more such events by Ibaadat and would love to take active part in these shows, if possible. Please keep up the great work and keep spreading the joy through music. I have grown singing these golden era songs and even today they create magic when you listen to them. Aparna Bhuskute, Homemaker

Great show. Brij Gopal Daga, Former Managing Director, Central Depository Services (India) Ltd.
I have been attending the Ibaadat programs since last six years. Each program was nostalgic. However, this year's Ibaadat ka Safar was बेहतरीन. Your policy of no VIPs, no speeches, no seat numbers and maintaining time strictly, makes the audience very comfortable. It was also visible when audience was singing along with your singers. Only request is if you can share recording among Ibaadat community for recalling wonderful moments, though I know that you are against this. Daudayal Madangopal Daga, Retd. Technical Officer, Indian Institute of Geomagnetics
Dear Prithviji, all my colleague who came for this function for the first time were simply delighted. I am in awe of your organisation ability, even at this age. I have lot to imbibe from you. I personally feel your lyricist-centric shows were better. Bhupen Dalal, Chairman, Foods & Inns Ltd./Chairman, Western Securities
The show was truly exhilarating! The painstaking research and the overall theme were brilliant and innovatively structured. Pratul Dalal, Executive Director, Western Press Pvt. Ltd.
We were simply delighted. Yashaa Satyen Dalal
You organised the event so beautifully and meticulously…hats off to you. We enjoyed the शायरी and songs and meeting and knowing few things from the family members of the poets. Overall, a great show...on time start, informative, good selection of songs. Shriram Dandekar, Business
My sincere gratitude to you all for taking us audience down the memory lane of those famous lyricists of yesteryears who delivered such soulful songs which are sung across generations. Indeed, they left a wonderful imprint in the minds of all those music lovers who attended the show. Truly remarkable show put out by you. God bless and good luck. Harish A. Das, Retd. Media Consultant Xebec Advertising Agency
It was an ethereal experience of nostalgic musical journey of Bollywood musical maestros. And many kudos to you bringing it stage in so compact and sharp edited form. Whatever you do and whenever you do, it's always the Best. Nothing more to improve upon, except that as we were swayed and time passed, it felt like the end came early. The show should be going on and on. Now the expectations are for a much more enchanting musical experience. R.K. Das, Retd. Country Head, SIDBI
As always, we saw a very beautiful programme of music which was very well researched, conceptualised, arranged and executed. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for inviting us and looking forward to more of such programmes. Anil Chandrakant Dave, Retd. Bank of India
As always, it was a beautifully curated program. Equal justice was done to all the lyricists in a span of 2.5 hours. Your research, compilation and editing are commendable. I love the time and punctuality of the show. I am touching 60 this year...but my romance with the lyrics of the Hindi movie songs started in early childhood. It was always that the meaningful songs would have my attention and I would learn the lyrics quickly. You have done several shows with 9 lyricists and may have plans to add some more names to the list. Would like to see a name of any female lyricist if there was/is one. Yashodhara Dave, Freelance Behaviour Facilitator
It was a wonderful experience as always. Please keep up the good work. We are indebted to you. Anand Dayal, Director, Schutz India/Director, Balmer Lawrie & Co. Ltd,
The program was absolutely superb. A class apart. My congratulations to the Ibaadat team and especially to Mr. Prithvi Haldea. Mukesh D. Dedhia, Managing Director, Ghalla Bhansali Stock Brokers Pvt. Ltd.
Hi Prithvi, it has always been a pleasure to attend Ibaadat shows and all have been exceptionally good and a keen music lover like me really enjoyed them. The Best of Ibaadat, was also no exception. It was nice to relive some of those lovely songs/ moments of the earlier shows. It was also heartening to know how Ibaadat has journeyed in last 15 years. Hats off to you for thinking about such a concept and executing it so well. I still remember our interactions when you were the सर्वेसर्वा of Prime Database and I was heading financial institutions and Government Business Group at HDFC Bank and IPOs/New Issues was one of the verticals of my division. In fact, we have shared dais in couple of seminars. And from a database person, to achieve such success in an art form of Old Hindi Film music is a fantastic and enviable journey. Kudos to you. What I most like about the Ibaadat shows is the format of the show. It is not a typical orchestra format, where a compere walks in after every song, gives out some details, some trivia about the next song and then the song is sung by the artistes. Ibaadat's format is very unique and very interesting, conversational yet informative. Please continue the good work and you will always have support from ardent music lovers like me. Nandkishor Desai, Advisor-Strategy, Getmymachine.Com/Ex Head, Financial Institutions/Govt. Business Group, HDFC/CEO, Workflowed Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
Great. Piyush Desai, Stock Broker
My experience at Ibaadat ka Safar was really nice. Also loved the format of the programme. All the singers were very very good. Change you can bring is to have this programme more often. I am an artist. I paint and am also a crafts teacher. Very very passionate about all kind of art. It was great to know that Mr. Haldea is so passionate about music. Your research work is next level. Above all, you are not doing for any monetary gains. That is something inspiring and motivating for a small artist like me. Truly blessed to be part of Ibaadat! Shivani Desai, Crafts Teacher
It was good. We enjoy every time. Podcast of such shows will also be a good idea to know journey of such great artists. Neha Dhingra, Founder & Director, Courseleap Education
Dear Prithvi ji, it was great! As always, we had good time in the mesmerizing Ibaadat ka Safar show. Thank you so much for putting in so much of energy and thought process to make it seamless show. Yogesh Dhingra, Managing Director & CEO, Smart Express Pvt. Ltd./ Ex CFO, Blue Dart
Great. Deepali Dixit, General Manager, Securities & Exchange Board of India
I have seen almost all your shows. And each time, I have felt that it was better than the previous one. This show was superlative. Your scripts show your understanding of the subject and the audience. Your singers are amazing. Your anchoring is beyond excellent. And your new anchor, Nandita, has been a great find,..she is so graceful and effective. Missed your grandsons this time. Rahul Dixit
Yet another delightful show. Bhavna Doshi, Partner, Bhavna Doshi Associates LLP

Worth coming all the way from Pune for your shows. Kamlesh Gandhi, Former Founder, CIFCO Group
Dear Prithvi ji, To begin with, I would like to thank you for organising such a wonderful programme and inviting both Kamlesh and me to be a part of this enchanting evening. I know it must have been truly tough for you to pick songs from these amazing lyricists … but the bouquet that you chose was very very fragrant and refreshing…and, of course, your anchoring was the cherry on the icing! Just a small request from me … if you would be able to put together a show dedicated to singers like Rafi, Kishore, Manna and of course Lata and Asha. Your group of singers are, … in Marathi the word is 'अप्रतिम', so I believe it would be a cake-walk!!! Looking forward to more great memories with Ibaadat. Sonali Gandhi, Pune
It was a great show. We enjoyed it thoroughly. Suresh Gandhi, Chairman, ESSGEE Group of Companies/Sheetal Sagar Builders & Developers Pvt. Ltd.
Great show. Vishaka Ghia
It was of course delightful. Great work. Promeet Ghosh, Managing Director & CEO, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd. /Ex MD, Temasek Holdings Advisors India Pvt. Ltd.
Incredibly wonderful, top class, exhilarating, nostalgic, very well presented (as always) etc, etc, etc. One will run out of adjectives but still not be able to do justice describing the Ibaadat shows. One can watch the same show any number of times and still enjoy it. I have spoken about it highly to many of my friends who love old Hindi songs and they feel very envious. We had been introduced to this show by your niece Prachi Gupta. The things I loved: Crisp compilation of script and melodious, very well sung songs, many more thoughtfully chosen popular songs this time (There was only one Mukesh Ji's song which I could partially recollect) and audience participation (though it started some shows ago). Only one suggestion (though I absolutely loved the show): There are many expressions in songs like प्यार, दोस्ती, खूबसूरती, मौसम, धोका, देशभक्ति etc. what each lyricist wrote about it without getting into comparisons. I know you have to juggle the number of songs of each lyricist as well as the singers besides keeping the script interesting. You may ignore this suggestion as loud thinking on my part. Thanks for inviting us for Ibaadat shows. We are already looking forward to the next show as we have missed a few in between. Kindly continue with your outstanding work. Nitin Gosain, Ex Manager-Sales, Godrej Tyson Foods Ltd.
One of the most memorable evenings of my life. My humble request if possible next time issue me the seating band which is eligible for front rows *please*. Himanshu Gokani, Film Actor

I am speechless at Prithviji's passion! To conceive every show with so much enthusiasm and energy, so much research for every show I am awestruck! The show was fantastic! The singers performing live, each better than the other. Super and Superb! No words can do justice to describe the show. Sheela Gupta
Dear Prithvi, I attended with Sheetal, my wife. It was wonderful, as always. If I try to write down my experience and feelings, words fail me! My vocabulary of superlatives would run out…This time the format was different and brought in a refreshing twist. A lot many songs could be accommodated. Recap of the Ibaadat journey and the eye-opening disclosure about you refusing OTT offer went straight to the heart. आपकी अगुआई में इबादत का ये कारवाँ और बहुत दूर चले, यहीं शुभकामनाएं...कि दिल अभी भरा नहीं.

It was an extraordinary show.

Dear Mr Prithvi Haldea, A truly delightful musical evening It was one of those rare experiences where every moment felt alive and richly satisfying to the senses. All the singers were outstanding-each performance nuanced, expressive, and memorable. Watching a hall full of people humming along was pure magic. The thoughtfully curated songs celebrating legendary lyricists, paired with engaging anecdotes, gave the evening a glow of nostalgia it so richly deserved. The anchoring was a highlight in itself-elegant, witty, and adorned with beautiful शेर, with just the right touch of humour to keep the audience smiling throughout. Special appreciation for the impeccable professionalism—the program began sharp at 6:30 pm and flowed seamlessly for two and a half hours without a break, preserving the mood perfectly. My sincere thanks to Mr. Anand Bahal, my dear friend and one of the prominent singers of the esteemed Ibaadat group, for arranging a pass and making the evening even more special for me. Above all, I deeply admire the Ibaadat Foundation's remarkable 15-year journey of offering such soulful experiences to music lovers without any financial consideration. This speaks volumes about your vision and passion. Sir, I hear that this Foundation is your brainchild. You have nurtured it with intense care and the popularity of your venture reflects this Prithviji. The 77th show was beautifully structured, thoughtfully directed, and lovingly presented by you -my heartfelt compliments. Thank you once again for giving my ears such a memorable treat.

A mesmerising experience indeed. Can't wait for the next one! Gesu Kaushal, Executive Director & Co-Head Corporate Finance, Kotak Mahindra Capital Co. Ltd.
It was an absolutely fabulous show. Thank you for yet again having such an outstanding connect with the audience. A few of the singers were not fully utilised. Am sure that was because of time constraints, but no complaints. Overall, a brilliantly curated and sung show. Kumar Keswani, Retd. MD, Standard Chartered Loans & Investments Ltd./ Retd. GM, National Bank of Oman
Words cannot express the joy of being in the audience and even participating! The Ibaadat shows are eclectic and pay honest and pure homage to the doyens of Bollywood lyricists. And to me personally, they also provided insights and peek into the magic weaved by the sublime music composers of Bollywood's golden age. Manish Khadilkar, Professional Consultant/Retd. Godrej Enterprises Group
Gratitude for an unforgettable musical evening Dear Prithvi ji. Thank you for inviting me to such a truly unique and beautifully curated music show. Every performance felt heartfelt, soulful, and thoughtfully woven together—it was far more than an event; it was an experience. The passion, effort, and love that went into creating that atmosphere were evident in every note. It was inspiring to witness how music can bring people together, touch emotions so deeply, and leave lasting memories. I feel grateful to have been a part of such a special night. Please accept my heartfelt thanks and congratulations on creating something so meaningful and memorable. Neeta Khajuria, Head-Program, Population First
Amazing. The show had some of my father's most favourite songs. Missed him. Aakriti Khandelwal, Dy. General Manager, India Today
Fantastic as ever. Atul Khandelwal, Director, Manan Enterprises
Loved the show. A 2.5 hours show worthy of my 8 hours of road travel from Pune to Mumbai to Pune. Kanika Khandelwal, Program Director, Coforge
भाईसाहब…simply superb. Purnima Khandelwal, Director, INI Farms Pvt.Ltd.
The manner in which Prithviji brought out the best of 9 lyricists was an act of a genius. 2.5 hours were not enough. Vandana Khandelwal
This show was also wonderful... me and my wife really enjoyed songs and shaayari… the presentation was excellent. Kamal Khanna, Partner, Sankam International/Importer Home Products
The show was really good. Sangeeta Khanna Homemaker
It was really very beautifully organised. After a long time, saw an organic, disciplined and natural program which gives दिल को सुकून. Surekha S. Kharbade, Social Work at TISS, Mumbai
I and my spouse were privileged to attend your show. This time it was a kind of medley of the various lyricists. You rightly highlighted their work, the quality of their poetry and your chief purpose in promoting good poetry. Your performers too, sang them well, often without the aid of music...by no means an easy task to stay in सुर. That the music was composed in original form is a feather in your cap. It was nice of you to invite on stage the next generation of the lyricists covered in your programme. Balbir Singh Khattar, Retd. Manager-Inflight Service Department, Air India
Great work. Harish Khushalani, Managing Director, Krypton Infotech/Real Estate/Palazzo Infotech & Leasing Pvt. Ltd.
As always, a stupendous show! You must be getting mobbed now so not coming backstage…Thank you for these beautiful experiences. इतना passion, इतना effort, truly inspirational. Vandana Kilam, Transformation Coach
Enjoyed the programme thoroughly. The singers, especially the female singers, were very good. Wish you endless such successful Ibaadat shows. Alpana Killawala, The Communicator/Retd. Principal Adviser, Communications, RBI

Prithviji, it was a lovely show…thank you so much. Sorry I could not say this personally but I still managed a namaste to you before the show started…always a pleasure. Anjali Kohli, Daughter-in-Law of music maestro Madan Mohan
It was fantastic. Prithvi ji deserves 9 PhDs for the monumental work. Sunder Ram Korivi, Adjunct Faculty, Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs/ Ex NISM
We are truly grateful for the last-minute invitation pass…it honestly felt like a blessing for both of us to be there. The program was beyond words… absolutely mind-blowing and deeply touching. It filled us with so much peace, positivity, and a sense of calm after such a long time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for having us. It really meant so much to both of us. Hiren Kothari and Avani Kothari
Thanks very much Prithvi for a memorable evening, as always though I preferred your earlier programs focusing on 1 lyricist at a time with more of each song shared with the audience, instead of so many songs with just a couple lines each, But I guess you have to spread it a bit thin when you are covering so many wonderful lyricists. Your scripting and curating of the program were beyond my expectations - it's just that I'm greedy with the music you put up - it's never enough! Yasmin Javeri Krishan, Chairperson, Nucleus Software Exports Ltd., Singapore
We just loved the program...beautiful selection of songs, extremely well presented...wonderfully composed...it was a musical treat. The singers too gave their best and listening to some anecdotes from the sons and daughters of yester year stalwarts was a unique experience. Anjali Kulkarni, Retd. Tata Power
Prithvi's program was out of this world. 5* plus plus plus. Sanjaya S. Kulkarni, Managing Director, Indian Direct Equity Advisors Pvt.Ltd.
Dear Prithviji, I was privileged to attend. What you have created is iconic: Prime database and Ibaadat. One served the country's interests; the other preserved the country's immortals. Your precision and passion come through very well. It's a pleasure supporting your initiatives to keep this iconic event going. Thanks for your genius program. Viraj Kulkarni, Hon. Consul of Republic of Cyprus /Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Pivot Management Consulting

Thank you for a stupendous show. Meenakshi Kumar, Director & Trustee, Social Worker- Chinmaya Mission/Rotary Club
Dear Haldea Sahib, I love the way you present each program. Right from the word "Ibaadat" as the title name of your foundation to the performance of your artists, each action is very carefully tuned to match audience expectations. With explanations of the context and background, some of the songs brought tears of emotions. Being born in Delhi and in late 40s, we have seen the development of cinema and appreciate Urdu language ourselves too. Hats off to your team and you for these programs. We are now looking forward to your next show in Mumbai. My wife Sulbha Mathur joins me in sending this note of appreciation to you. Vinod Kumar, Managing Director, Metallurgical Products India Pvt. Ltd. and Sulbha Mathur, Director, MPIL

Dear Prithviji, we truly enjoyed "Ibaadat Ka Safar". It was an absolute pleasure and honour to experience the passion and hard work that you and your team had put behind the show. The song selection and the conversations around our beloved lyricists was delightful and will stay with us for a very long time! Ajay Lalvani, Retd. Vice President, Global Transfer Pricing and Nalini Lalvani, Retd. CFO, Omnicom Media Group
Excellent show and wonderful evening as always. If you are in Mumbai tomorrow and want to catch up let me know since it's been a while. Vikram Limaye, Retd. Managing Director & CEO, National Stock Exchange of India Ltd.
Sir, जो आप का last show Anand Bakshi पर था, मैंने 3 बार देखा था. और अगर आप चौथी बार भी organize करेंगे, मैं ज़रूर देखूंगा. In today's world of artificial intelligence, where our actual intelligence is being replaced by an artificial world, the work that Ibaadat is doing under your leadership, the passionate work you have been doing... I think it's a heritage of history that will continue to motivate and inspire future generations. Thank you so much for this deep work. Mahavir Lunawat, Founder & Group Managing Director, Pantomath Capital Advisory Services Group
Dear Prithvi, you and your entire team really outdid yourself this time. I was very thrilled and impressed how you fit so many lyricists together in such a small time and were still be able to make an impact. Your efforts and commitment to the cause are really commendable. Thanks for allowing us to part of this lovely journey. Pradeep Madhav, Director, STCI Primary Dealer Ltd./Ex MD & CEO, STCI Finance Ltd. and Neeta Madhav, Retd. Officer, Punjab National Bank
Dear Prithvi ji, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for staging Ibaadat Ka Safar – The Best of Ibaadat. It was a truly memorable evening, and I felt deeply moved by the way the performances brought alive the spirit of poetry and music. The audience's warmth and enthusiasm reflected the immense effort and passion that went into curating the show. Your dedication to keeping the legacy of Ibaadat alive is inspiring. The seamless flow of the program, the choice of renditions, and the atmosphere you created made it a rare experience. Thank you once again for this soulful journey. I look forward to being part of many more Ibaadat evenings and will certainly consider supporting the Foundation's noble work. Ashwin Maheshwari, Chief Financial Officer, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas
I am very thankful for the invite. As always, it was a wonderful show and I wish you the very best in all your futures endeavours. Dr. Jyoti Jayant Majithia, Doctor
The program was indeed very engaging. Very informal and nicely produced. The name of your program - Ibaadat, is very beautiful and gives the feeling of 'surrender'., which is what we see in you and in all your team members. Pradeep Malu, Partner, Lodha & Co LLP/Founder, Inovent Solutions Ltd.
दिल चाहता है वक़्त यहीं ठहर जाए, ये हसीन महफ़िल यूँ ही सजी रहे, वो सामने गुफ़्तगू करें और नग़्मे सुनाएँ, ताउम्र ये मोड़ राह-ए-रूह से गुज़रता रहे. Sunita Mandelia, Director, Avasun Fininvest Pvt.Ltd.
Dear Prithvi, Seeing you after more than two decades—sitting at the edge of the stage after the show and savouring the sense of satisfaction from the grand success of the show while accepting praises from known and unknown souls — felt like a moment of warmth and familiarity that's hard to put into words. For a brief second, it seemed our eyes met in recognition, even if the name didn't follow. Amidst the crowd around you, I held back, though, I truly wished to shake hand and say hello. Shobha and I were deeply moved—the music, the lyrics, and the sheer soulfulness of the performances stayed with us long after the evening ended. The "एहसास" you create is rare—it brings joy, peace, and a beautiful sense of connection across people and cultures. Whenever you're next in Mumbai, I would love to meet over a cup of tea or coffee. We feel blessed to contribute in whatever small way we can, in your efforts to curate, bring forth and spread this beautiful sensory "एहसास" which gives rise to the - joy, peace, love, remembrance and quest to impart meaning to the life - a journey being shaped by you. Satish Mandhana, Founder & Director, Climacatalyst Pvt. Ltd./Ex IDFC Alternatives/Sr. Managing Director & Chief Investment Officer, Eversource Capital Pvt. Ltd. and Shobha Mandhana

The show was really lovely. Seimaa Manjuratna
What an impactful program! Dear Prithvi ji, this was one more time that both of us who have attended several of your creative shows were totally spellbound and enthralled. Great selection of narration and songs. Your passion and deep research and thematic approach made the offering even more appealing. These are shows that touch the souls of aficionados and commoners alike. The audience was great too. If only I could request you to share the list of songs. My heartiest compliments to you and to the entire team. What a wonderful performance. I will end by saying encore! Udayan Maroo, Chartered Accountant
Dear Prithviji, the much-anticipated 15th anniversary show of Ibaadat was truly unique and par excellence. We cherished every minute of the two-and-a-half-hour performance. Remembering the great lyricists and honouring them along with their families was a noble and distinctive gesture. The anchors were excellent, weaving the narrative in a very engaging and captivating manner. You consistently bring together some of the finest singers, and although we hear them on various platforms, their performances at Ibaadat feel truly special and elevated. This undoubtedly reflects the immense effort, practice, and rehearsals behind the scenes. Each singer delivered their best, as evident from the wonderful response of the knowledgeable and appreciative audience. Prajakta, though new to Ibaadat, was outstanding and appeared completely at ease. Prithviji's painstaking research forms the backbone of the program and is deeply appreciated. The stories you narrated were gems that left the audience in awe. I would also like to commend the excellent management of the event. Starting precisely at 6:30 PM and concluding at 9:00 PM is a rarity in similar programs and speaks volumes about the professionalism involved. In conclusion, it was a real treat for us, and we sincerely appreciate the kind invitation extended to us. Thomas Mathew, Independent Director, Muthoot Capital Services Ltd. /Retd. Assurance Leader, Pricewaterhousecoopers and Thresiamma Thomas, Retd. Teacher, Gopi Birla Public School
Dear Sir, The show was superb, as usual. Song selection was perfect and the singers were very good. The top singer was Sarvesh Mishra who sang the songs of Rafi. The best song of the evening was "हुई शाम उनका ख्याल आ गया " I suggest Bharat Vyas and SH Bihari for your future shows. The arrangement was very good with QR codes. Vishwanath Mathur, Independent Director, Ravindra Energy Ltd./ Retd. Chairman/MD, Cotton Corp. of India

Simply delighted. Jay Mehta
Dear Prithviji, It was the Best of the Best show. I hope there are going to be more of this show in Mumbai or other cities.

I am very passionate about music, especially classical. Over the years, I have built up a very vast collection. I am all of 72 now, but I still digitize from spools and cassettes. Thanks again for a brilliant show. My collection can be shared with listeners. Kishore Merchant
This is to thank you from the bottom of my heart for inviting me to such a amazing, very melodious, so well thought of, so well directed and you know every moment was of sense. There were no meaningless jokes or unnecessary waste of moments. Each moment was of one could be treasured. So much to learn in the musical world and the world to music. I always maintained that lyrics is something which makes you closer to the song, the musical melody remains but the lyrics is something. So, whenever I mind to sing is whenever it takes closer to the lyrics because to sing a song, you have to know and probably learn the lyrics that become a part of you, and then you express it through your emotions. So, it's so beautiful. I mean I'm so grateful to be blessed to be able to express myself through lyrics in a musical manner and understand life in a creative perspective. Thank you. I request you to please remember me and I would be love to be invited whenever possible for the next event. It'll be a life changing experience.

This Ibaadat event was as brilliant as ever, Prithvi. You have indeed created a masterpiece series. Hari Mundra, Independent Director, ICICI Bank Ltd./Ex Dy. MD, Essar Oil
Dear Prithviji, Absolutely the most mesmerizing show that you have put up, indeed the most mesmerizing show that I have seen in the last few years. I say this with an insider's insight, having been involved with the creation of similar shows in different capacities: as a Writer/Lyricist, as a Producer who has helped create many such TV/stage events over decades, as part of NCPA's special Page to Stage group where I have been associated with both producing some stage events and in encouraging a few others attempting to do so, and most of all as a lover of Urdu शायरी. I can only marvel at both your creative skills as a Writer/Director and as a Producer who painstakingly got together all the artists and family members of great writers, I know how really tough it is. Heartiest congratulations to everyone involved in the show and specially to you on a great concept superbly executed. Satish Mutatkar, Managing Partner, Impact Vision/Lyricist
Great. Shripad Nadkarni, Co-Founder, School Prep

The experience was outstanding. Exceptional and hearing the melodies from my younger days made me very very happy. Arun Kumar Nanda, Managing Trustee, Adhata Trust/Ex Director, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.
Dear Mr Prithvi Haldea, as founder of Prime Database talking about you, is attempting the impossible. So, let's just talk about your passion for poets/ghazals that founded Ibaadat. Your show commemorating the best of your various successful shows on 9 immortal lyricists was just superb and amazing. Keeping it short, your professionalism in adhering to Time precisely (the master of the universe) is worth mentioning. All those who respect time overall, are always successful in whatever they do. Putting up a show on such a magnanimous subject covering 9 top lyricists of the Hindi film industry by itself is a Herculean task, and collating and narrating and unfolding it within 2-1/2 hours maintaining the continuity and audience interest is praise worthy. Your team of speakers and singers all own the show with their immeasurable and unquestionable passion. Ultimately collating such a show by picking the songs aptly based of few topics, and weaving it into an enviable garland of gems is worth offering to Mata Saraswathi. Lastly one highlight that must be highlighted about your show is that the audience which comprises of The Who's Who of the corporate world/HNIs/luminaries are all treated same/equal as they come to witness the show as a avid music lover. This differentiates your show, as music knows no protocol or hierarchy. Finally, thank you sir for seating me and my wife along with the children of the Lyricists you were show casing. Sitting in the second row and witnessing such a grand show was soul fulfilling. Always ever thankful to Rakesh Anand Bakshi and his family for the special invites that we get for various music programs and Ibaadat. That Fact that Anand Bakshiji's family treats us like their family is a grace of Sai Rama Krishna. Signed as a fan of Anand Bakshiji and other lyricists and Ibaadat. Swaminathan Narayanan, Partner, S.R.Consultants and Jayanthi Swaminathan
The show was really something else. Very well curated and presented and performed. So many songs sung without any background music. Hats off to Prithvi and his team. Thanks to Shaila for introducing us to this group. Also, the way the lyrics were presented made it so meaningful and some brought a tear to the eyes. Yasmina Narechania, Birdwatcher and Yogesh Narechania, Owner, Ankit Fasteners Pvt. Ltd.

The show was superb, as always. Kudos to the entire team for such hard work. Looking forward to more shows with newer content. Preeti Ramani
Dear Prithviji, It was a wonderful evening. I liked the way you formatted it - mixing the lyricists instead of allotting a slot to each of them. All the singers are good - they have imbibed the Ibaadat culture. Sarvesh, Sangeeta and Anand were very good. Of course, I loved the fact that the evening ended with my all-time number 1 film song and life philosophy – किसी की मुस्कराहटों- to attend an Ibaadat evening- जीना इसी का नाम है. M. V. Ramnarayan, Retd. Director, MUFG Intime India Pvt. Ltd.

Prithvi ji, it was truly an outstanding and unforgettable evening. "Ibaadat Ka Safar- The Best of Ibaadat" was nothing short of a soulful experience. The audience's response clearly reflected how completely mesmerised everyone was throughout the show. The music was absolutely soul-stirring, and every performance carried depth and emotion. The शेर-ओ-शायरी was not only beautifully delivered but also extremely apt and meaningful—they truly touched the heart and added a special richness to the entire experience. There was an almost hypnotic charm to the evening, as if the entire audience was under a beautiful spell. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the show. It was evident how much passion and effort went into curating such a refined and heartfelt experience. Congratulations to you and the entire team for creating such a memorable evening.

Dear Mr Haldea, the show was simply superb, the selection of songs, the singing without the music was so soothing and awesome, all the singers sang so well, all from memory, the Antara and the mukdha singing all from the memory was simply stupendous, the flow of the event without any break for a continuous 2 and half hour and to continuously engage the audience was outstanding, I love your approach to keep it simple, no seats reserved, first come first serve basis. One thing I missed is your grandson singing "सिकंदर ने पोरस से की थी लड़ाई". I was hoping that he would be there for the 15th anniversary celebrations, hoping to attend many more of this in years ahead, Thanks a lot for inviting me and my spouse for the invitation. My son and my brother missed out this time. Himanshu Shah, Operating Partner, Gaja Alternative Asset Management Ltd.
It was just wonderful. Kamini Shah, Textiles Expert
Dear Prithviji, As always, your effort was evident and superlative. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. My association with you and your organization goes back many, many years. I thank you for remembering me and inviting me to your events even now. We both are retired from day-to-day work. These events make us feel younger. May God bless you and your team with the best of health and energy to continue such yeomen work of remembering our very talented lyricists. Nayan P. Shah, Partner, Basil Capital/Retd. Executive Director CIFCO/Ex President, Concept Communication
Hi Prithvi. Outstanding, fabulous show! Thank you for enthralling us for so long. You scaled even greater heights with this show. The feedback from our guests was superlative and each and every one of them enjoyed the show tremendously and wanted the show to go on and on! Congrats and compliments on another fabulous performance. You and Ibaadat continue to grow by leaps and bounds. Thank you for your passion and commitment. Yes…we missed Vidya and she too was disappointed to miss this. Rashesh C. Shah, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Edelweiss Financial Services Ltd.
Dear Sir, It was a fantastic show curated with passion. Absolutely enjoyed. Please send me your bank details where I would like to send my contribution. Shrenik R. Shah, Managing Director, S. R. Shah & Associates /Diamond Exporter
Stupendous, magical, mesmerizing, guess words can't suffice. Best of the best. What a treat. Always leave with hunger for more. An extra ordinary show is result of extra ordinary efforts which truly show. Sunita Shah, Partner, Himco International
Worthy work. Tirath Shah, Retd. Manufacture Plastic Articles
A single word—even "Excellent"—feels woefully inadequate to capture the depth of my experience. This was my second time attending an Ibaadat show, yet the sense of wonder felt entirely new. My heartfelt appreciation flows to every individual whose dedication, research, and artistry breathed life into the entire presentation. It was a tapestry woven with care, passion, and brilliance, leaving an impression far beyond the ordinary. My company, Pharmalab, has been a donor for the last few years. Umesh Shah, Director, Pharmalab India Pvt. Ltd.
The programme was well scripted as always. We had a good time as every time. Vaishali Shah, Retd. Reliance Entertainment
Dear Prithvi, the songs selection and singing were very good. Shashikant R. Shanbhag, Director, Galaxy Surfactants Ltd./Organizer of Music Shows in Shanmukhanand
It was a very well organised program with excellent rendition by the singers and a wonderful script and hosting. Ankit Sharma, Chief Regulatory Officer- Listing & Investor Services, National Stock Exchange of India Ltd.
Thank you very much for presenting this show in line with the past ones. The program music, शायरी and singing…all were soulful and to be cherished for a long time. Rajiv Sharma, Chairman, SAL Automotive Ltd./ CFO, Fairwinds Asset Managers Ltd.
What an exceptional show Prithvi. So gripping, the fact that you did justice to each and every lyricist in such short time is a clear demonstration of your passion and research. We wished it would have gone on for another 150 minutes. All singers are great but Sarvesh and Sangeeta are rockstars. Thank you for giving this opportunity. Sanjay Sharma, Chief Financial Officer, Air India Ltd./Ex Tata Realty & Infrastructure Ltd.
Enjoyed the evening…thanks always! An idea for you: How about an evening of patriotic songs? There are so many great ones, I'm above all a fan of Kavi Pradeep, just listing a few of his songs: 1. आज हिमालय की चोटी से फिर हमने ललकारा है 2. दे दी हमें आज़ादी बिना खड़ग बिना ढाल 3. आओ बच्चों तुम्हें दिखाएं झांकी हिंदुस्तान की 4. हम लाये है तूफान से कश्ती को निकाल के 5. चल अकेला चल अकेला 6. ऐ मेरे वतन के लोगों (that brought Nehru to tears). It'll be a special evening with these and so many other great songs, hoping you consider this! Sanjaya R. Sharma, Former CEO, Tata Interactive Systems Ltd. and Shikha Sharma, Former Managing Director & CEO, Axis Bank Ltd.
Thanks for inviting to such a beautiful show with choicest content and songs. Although I was feeling blessed to be a part of such a lucky audience but felt sad at heart that my dad Qamar Jalalabadi was not part of the prestigious list of writers. Subhashini Sheopuri, Founder/Manager, Swar Sagarika Music Circle-Andheri (W)
The show was superb...enjoyed a lot...very well organized. Rekha Sheth, Teaching Underprivileged Children
Respected Sir, first of all let me congratulate you for unique concept of Ibaadat ka Safar. A difficult task but fluently presented by you and your team. We are grateful and fortunate for being able to be invited from among the long list of your followers and admirers. We wish you a good health and continuous success. We are looking forward for many more of Ibaadat ka Safar. Dr. Arvind Shinde, Consultant Anaesthesiologist, Surya, Sushrut, RCF, Das Hospital and Dr. Jayshri Shinde, Medical Officer, MDAC/AHO, (Public Health) Mumbai Municipal Corp.
Kudos to you for your relentless efforts for perfection and a great show sir, happy to be on board and to be a small part of this great team! Ravindra Shinde, Singer
It was a superb program. Nothing more can be desired. I also arrange Hindi songs program so I was wondering about if you can pair up a lyricist with a music composer, like Sahir and SD or Raja with Madan Mohan or Rajendra Krishan with C Ramchandra. Mahesh Shroff, Director, Novex Poly Films Pvt. Ltd./Also, Shantilal Ujamshi Bhai & Sons Charity Trust
The program was very well coordinated, it is improving with every season. Ibaadat is identified with your trademark style, we love it the way it is, no suggestions. Ashwani Sindhwani, Retd. Chief Executive, FEDAI
Me, Ruchi and her mom, thoroughly enjoyed the show. The format, there were no LEDs, no loud music, the context, the choice of songs, storytelling, all were par excellence. Singer's quality, It started and ended in time. Fy2026 has been particularly one of the best years for me professionally, health wise, holiday wise and singing wise. And Ruchi kept asking me how do you want to celebrate this year. This show felt like a true celebration for us. Thank you for making it happen for us. I think you coordinated it very well. While I am not aware of what all went in making it happen. I think it did need a lot of promptness, organizing, hand holding at various levels. Since childhood I love Bollywood songs and have mugged up more than 3000 songs. All the songs in this particular show were my mom's favourites. I have heard her singing them a lot of times. I did wish she was alive to watch this program. I am a big fan of Mukesh and I loved your only Mukesh site. especially the live show footage. Rohan Singal, Leadership Coach & Author, Rejoiss Learning LLP and Ruchi Maheshwari, Co-Founder, Rejoiss Learning LLP
Dear Prithvi. It was yet another overwhelming experience. Felt like a continuous flow of ecstasy interspersed with interesting narratives. Huge compliments to you and everyone for this wonderful creation called Ibaadat. Amarjeet Singh, Wholetime Member, Securities & Exchange Board of India
The show was very well researched and I loved all the songs I will like to have the list of songs, if possible. I want to create a playlist for my ears. Priya Singh, Ex SBICAPS
Great show. Sangeeta Singh, Retd. VP - Finance, Air India
As for the feedback on the program on 1st April, I am genuinely short of words. These programs keep improving with every outing. I have now attended 8 out of your 9 productions and have come back richer and mesmerized every time. I am a great fan of music and poetry in general and Urdu शायरी in particular. I also consider myself as some kind of minor authority on retro Hindi film music but I come richer and more enlightened from each of your programs. My congratulations and compliments to you and your team. Please keep up the good work and music flowing. Deepak Singhal, Ex-Member, RBI Services Board
The show was interesting, mainly because of your script. Dr. Gian Sunder Singh, Chief Consultant, Edumint Advisory Services/Retd. Principal Consultant, Tata Consultancy Services
Prithvi…Thank you so very much for a truly enchanting evening. The entire presentation was beautifully curated - each rendition carried depth, emotion, and a sense of soulful connection that lingered long after the show ended. The seamless flow, the choice of compositions, and the heartfelt performances made it a genuinely mesmerising experience. Each singer added tremendous depth to the song sung by him/her. What stood out most was the sincerity and passion of all the singers/performers that came through in every note—it felt less like a performance and more like a shared musical journey with the audience. Kudos to your entire team for creating such a memorable experience. Wishing Ibaadat continued success as it touches many more hearts in the journey ahead. Shiva Singhi, Teacher, Utpal Shanghavi Global School and Pratik K. Singhi, Managing Director, Nine Rivers Capital/Chartered Accountant
Enjoyed the show thoroughly. Will revert shortly with a more detailed feedback and my modest contribution to the massive work that Ibaadat is doing in the field of music. Sanjay Sinha, Founder, Citrus Advisors/Ex CEO, L&T Mutual Fund/Ex CIO, SBI Mutual Fund/Ex VP, UTI Mutual Fund
Thank you once again for yet another beautiful programme! Really enjoyed all the songs and your superb conversations on stage! I really love your format and the fact that you invite the family members of the lyricists which makes it so personal!! Even your singers are superb!! Thank you once again for inviting us to Ibaadat every year. We really look forward to it!! Ena Sinha, Owner, Chubby Cheeks Playschool
Prithvi… you put a really fantastic show as always. Ena and me were thrilled to be there. Shashi Sinha, Chief Executive Officer-India, IPG Mediabrands
Every performance exceeds my previous expectations! Great work. I have seen all your 9 shows and this by far the best. Extremely rich in content and execution. U.K. Sinha, Retd. Chairman, Securities & Exchange Board of India
The Best of Ibaadat was your very best. Missed your grandchildren though. Thanks for making us part of the truly wonderful experience. Richa Somani, Fashion Designer
It was outstanding! Vandana Somani, Business
We had a great time. I have a small suggestion to make. If possible, could you send by mail a list of songs covered in each programme? I normally frantically note them down to make a playlist later but it detracts from being 100% involved with the presentation. The souvenir was great but it was a larger list from which obviously you have curated an elite list. Because your research has so many facets to it every time one listens to the curated playlist, it would bring back memories of the program which one can relive without YouTube. Arvind Sonde, Lawyer
We thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The choice of songs as well as the singers has always been excellent. Chitra Sonde, Homemaker
Excellent and flawless show as per tradition and benchmark of Ibaadat. Thoroughly enjoyed the show. Thanks a lot Sir for your invite and making me part of this show and all earlier shows. Paresh Soni, Vice President-Compliance Officer, HDFC Bank Ltd.
Prithvi Sahab, the evening was magical beyond words! I have been to hundreds of musical events around the world. I have always rated a live concert by Abida Parveen to be the best I have ever witnessed. आप ने उस शाम की याद दिला दी. Gautam Kumar Sonthalia, Director, Ashtech/Diamond Trader
Dear Mr. Prithvi Haldea, I had the privilege of attending "Ibaadat Ka Safar – The Best of Ibaadat" and I felt compelled to write to you to express my heartfelt appreciation. The evening was truly exceptional. The entire production—from the thoughtfully curated script and the evocative selection of songs, to the deeply engaging storytelling and the touching interactions with the families of the legendary lyricists—was executed with remarkable finesse. The format itself felt refreshingly unique, and the delivery was both elegant and emotionally resonant. What stood out most was the ability of the show to transport the audience into a world of nostalgia while simultaneously offering new perspectives on familiar creations. It left an indelible impression on my mind and heart, and I will remember the experience fondly for a long time to come. Please convey my compliments to the entire team for putting together such a memorable and meaningful programme. I wish you and your team continued success and many more such enriching presentations in the future. Srinivasan Sridhar, Chairman, Indian Overseas Bank
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Will soon send contribution. Krupa Srinivas, Retd. Manager, Reservations, Delta Airlines
My wife Krupa and I have never missed any of your events at Mumbai. What was presented on the 1st of April was really enjoyable. What stood out was the precise timing between items which left us wondering how on earth each piece meshed in seamlessly all through the two and a half hours! Prithvi's dedication that gave us so much pleasure is something we have always admired. Thank your entire team for giving us so much joy that evening! N. Srinivas, Retd. Director, Lloyd Insulations (India) Ltd.
It was great. Please continue the good work. S. Sriniwasan, Managing Director, Kotak Alternate Asset Managers Ltd.
Each show is great. Sunil Srivastav, Ex Dy. Managing Director-Corp. Strategy & New Business, State Bank of India
I was truly impressed by the depth of research and the time and thought you personally invested in putting together the whole show. Everything was outstanding—from the beautifully selected songs to the engaging flow and the wonderful guest, everything came together seamlessly. I also got a good glimpse of all that I missed in the earlier shows and again the effort put in every show in different cities. Overall It was a memorable evening, and I'm grateful to have been a part of it. Pranjal Srivastava, Partner-Investment Banking, Centrum Capital Ltd./ Ex Sr. VP & Head Capital Markets, ICICI Securities Ltd.

While all your shows are very good, this one was exceptional. Pankaj Thapar, Sr. Advisor, Everstone Capital Advisors Pvt. Ltd.
Dear Prithvi sahib, what words can Kaajal and I use to shower praises on your Ibaadat musical extravaganza. We are not poets or lyricists to match the poetry we enjoy at your well-structured and brilliant show. Each year you set a new benchmark by exceeding all expectations of your many many supporters and fans. We thoroughly enjoyed the show but were sad that we had to (for compelling reasons) leave 15 minutes before the end because each precious minute is so enjoyable. It is a pity you cannot put together more than one show each year. God bless you and your team for the care, love and passion with which it all comes together for the audience to enjoy. Suresh J. Thadani, Partner, Thadani & Co./Livinguard Technologies Pvt. Ltd. and Kaajal Thadani, Proprietor, Kayestee Services
Great. Jagruti Thaker, Insurance Adviser, Star Health Insurance Co. Ltd.

Thank you very much for inviting me. Enjoyed the programme thoroughly. The singers, once again, provided an enthralling experience My wife and I enjoyed the evening thoroughly. I was really impressed when you mentioned that you were not ready to commercialize your dream projects even when offered crores to do so. Once again kudos to your passion and dedication. Rajesh R. Turakhia, Founder-Director, Frameboxx Animation & Visual Effects Pvt. Ltd.
It was a class programme…Too good, I personally enjoyed a lot, Thanks a lot for inviting. Dhwani Vaghela, Sr.Manager, 3P Investment Managers Pvt. Ltd.
Dear Sir, The unique style of presentation, excellent song selection, great performances and uninterrupted two and half hours of an outstanding celebration of art was really wonderful.

Supriya, Sangeeta, Prajakta, Sarvesh, Anand, Ravindra and Jatin all were outstanding performers. I wish many more successes to Ibaadat and Ibaadatis. Abhijit Vaidya, Managing Director-Investment Banking, Kotak Mahindra Capital Co. Ltd.
