Zikr arrives as one of IBTIDA’s most quietly transformative cultural evenings,A space where music, memory, and storytelling breathe in the same rhythm.Born from our commitment to honouring India’s living artistic traditions, Zikr has evolved to celebrates the creators who shaped our emotional and cinematic landscape.For the very first time, IBTIDA – Ek Mehfil comes to Lucknow — a city of tehzeeb, nazakat, poetry, and timeless resonance. A city where every gesture has a grace, every word carries history, and every silence holds its own music.This edition of Zikr welcomes Vishal Bhardwaj, one of India’s most transformative creative forces - a filmmaker, composer, and storyteller whose work has redefined contemporary Indian cinema. In an intimate gathering of just 150 listeners, he steps away from the vastness of the screen and returns to the stillness of the mehfil.Here, his music and his legendary compositions return to their first heartbeatExactly the way they were born.
