About The Event
Bansuri Jab Gaane Lage is a spectacular Bollywood stage musical that brings to life the extraordinary journey of a wrestler’s son who against all odds made it his life’s mission to conquer his ambition and take on an arduous journey to become India’s most renowned flautist of our time, and who took the humble bansuri to the world stage. World-renowned flautist Padmavibhushan Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia’s story is what dreams and struggles are made of.
But what makes this musical interesting is the countless anecdotes of his life as a struggling musician who first got out of his hyper masculine environment to do what he really wanted to do - to pursue music for a living. His struggles in Mumbai, his pursuit to find his Guru and get her acceptance, his tryst with working in All India Radio and many more. While the world knows him as a classical artist par excellence, not many people know another fascinating side of Hariji which is that as a classical musician, he was one of the most successful music composers in Bollywood with chartbuster films like Chandni, Lamhe, Darr, Silsila, and many more.
His story is both inspirational and emotional. With live music and live actors this is one compelling story crafted cleverly for theatre, dedicated to the life of a living legend of India. Powerful performances, lilting music performed live and a story that has been executed very smartly on stage.
The narrative is beautifully woven with iconic Bollywood chartbusters—songs where Panditji’s signature flute interludes have become unforgettable, and films where he has composed the complete musical score.
Come experience an evening of melodies and memories from the 60s/70s and 80s, where every note tells a story and every song brings the magic alive.
