Sahir: In Love with Being Human Music
An interactive, audio-visual talk about Humanism in Sahir Ludhianvi’s poetry
Humanism is inherent to Sahir’s romanticism. Even amongst severe tempests of the heart, Sahir does not succumb to carnal desires of the flesh but remains devoted to duty. Interspersed with moving film songs, the lecture illustrates how Sahir’s romantic poetry is distinctly different since it maintains dignity even in the throes of sensuality.
A diehard humanist, Deepak Mahaan is a pioneering radio, TV and film professional whose creations have won accolades and awards at major channels and film festivals. An ardent admirer of Urdu-Hindi poets & lyricists, the long-standing film columnist of “THE HINDU” also unravels that despite limitations of film stories and situations, Sahir always rendered exquisite poetry to inspire the finest virtues of the human heart.
Mahaan’s spontaneous lectures on the same topic have been highly applauded at prominent platforms like Progressive Writers’ Forum, University of Rajasthan, Vasundhara Sahitya Foundation and University of Fraser Valley, Canada as well as several film and art societies.

MVS Harnath Rao's NIVEDYAM & Madabhushi Divakar Babu's KUNDETI KOMMU
Directed by Rathna Shekar
30th July 2023 08.00pm Lamakaan, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad
NIVEDYAM It is believed that God always keeps his word. He gives justice to the poor and food to the hungry. Do these statements have any truth in them? Let's find out by watching this hilarious play Nivedyam.
KUNDETI KOMMU Kundeti Kommu revolves around a conflict between two villages Pedduru and Chinnuru which were once one. Owing to differences, two brothers Pedda Dora and Chinna Dora separate, which not only creates the division of this village but also plants seeds of vengeance in the hearts of these people. While a wanderer conversing with an educated urbanite, suddenly collapses exactly on the boundary line of the two villages. This triggers a conflict between the two villages on who shall take up the responsibility to perform the last rites of the dead person.
