Aamchi Mumbai - An evening with Gulzar

In a career spanning over 50 years, Gulzar, one of India’s finest film makers and lyricists, has written poems in Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi, and often translated works from Bangla.


Since the time he arrived in (then) Bombay in the late 1950s, the Oscar-winning poet has looked at the city and its dwellers with a nuanced sensitivity and insight. Making a poignant comment on the relationship of a common, and also not so common man with Mumbai, his poems cover several aspects of the ever-changing city life, revealing a perspective which bears the stamp of the master poet. 


Aamchi Mumbai is conceived and woven together by Salim Arif, a well-known writer and director. A blend of sounds, rhythms and images, the event is a vivacious collage of Gulzar’s poems and insightful experiences about the mahanagar of Mumbai, and the life of people living on the edge in the bustling metropolis. 


The evening promises to make a definitive statement on this eclectic and dynamic city by one of its most accomplished and admired poets. The event takes off with Gulzar in conversation with Arif on how he has seen the city change over the last 60 years. This will be interspersed with a presentation of songs based on select poems of Gulzar set to music by Amod Bhatt and performed by two well-known singers, Vibhavari Apte-Joshi and Hrishikesh Ranade. In a rousing finale, the celebrated poet will himself recite a few poems creating a wholesome experience for the discerning audience.
