ABOUT THE PROGRAM

On the occasion of Sahir Ludhianvi’s birth centenary, we proudly present a biographical sketch of Sahir Ludhianvi, one of the finest poets and lyricists of all time. The narrative traces Sahir’s life from his troubled childhood to his college days; his journey from Punjab to Bollywood, his rollercoaster love affairs, and his evolution from romantic poet to revolutionary. The script takes us through the changing times of the mid-20th century – the socio-political impact of WWII and Indian struggle for independence followed by the havoc of Partition.

Interspersed with Sahir’s unforgettable dialogues, poetry and songs, the program promises to be a feast for the senses.
