Immerse yourself in the life of the inimitable poet, as veteran actors Shabana Azmi and Kanwaljit Singh narrate the many stories of Kaifi Saab's early years growing up in his village—Mijwan, the days of his courtship with his to-be wife, his time in Bombay in the 1950s, and much more. Get to know the man behind the poet by experiencing this unique act and celebrating the memorable moments of his life, as Jaswinder Singh sings classics written by the lyricist in his mesmerising voice, accompanied by a live orchestra.
