The play is based on the life of Sahir Ludhianvi, a great Urdu poet and an unforgettable lyricist for Hindi cinema. Hoshruba Repertory, in collaboration with Art for Causes, brings to the stage the 20th-century wordsmith’s life and work in a semi-autobiographical theatrical presentation. The play attempts to bring a 360-degree perspective on his life, interspersed with some of his most memorable songs and poems.
