TAKHLEEQ THEATRE GROUP

Ghalib aur Kahaniyan is an intertwining of dramatic reading and visualised performance of stories inspired by Mirza Ghalib's ghazals accompanied by heart-fluttering singing and music. The show is a beautiful sangam of movement, music, and poetry and is a treat for anyone who loves theatre, music and, of course, Ghalib. 

The performers present to you three original short stories written by Anindya Kalra set in three different eras. Reminiscing the streets of Old Delhi, audience can immerse themselves in our renditions of Ghalib's Hazaron Khwahishein Aisi, Dil Hi To Hai, and Aah Ko Chahiye.

Ghalib aur Kahaniyan began as a lockdown podcast project of the same name in 2021 and has since evolved into a captivating play. We recently completed (January 2024) our sixth show of this production at a full-house Stein Auditorium, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi which was met with an overwhelming response from our audience. Our previous shows were held at TOT Studio in Lajpat Nagar and Akshara Theatre.
