Timeless melodies meet untold stories as Bollywood playback singer and songwriter Kalpana Gandharv presents a musical evening that fuses emotion and memory into a soundscape both soothing and powerful.
‘Ek Baar Dekh Lijiye’ invites audiences into the emotional world of Kalpana Gandharv, as she masterfully weaves together Sufi ghazals, beloved Bollywood classics, and heartfelt original compositions. Each song unfolds like a chapter – capturing love, loss, joy, and longing with raw emotional honesty.
From the serenity of Sufi rhythms to the cinematic passion of Bollywood, Kalpana creates a space where music feels both personal and shared. Adding depth to the performance are her stories – glimpses into the inspirations behind each song – that build a powerful connection between artist and audience.
An exponent of Hindustani classical music, Kalpana has many hits to her name, including Heeramandi’s Ek Baar Dekh Lijiye, Gangubai Kathiawadi’s iconic qawwali, Sarbjit’s Tunglak, Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ Old School Girl, and more. In this showcase, she draws on the emotional power of contemporary cinema while infusing each song with her own unique voice and sensibility.
Kalpana is joined by a stellar ensemble, and together they craft a soul-stirring experience – one that is as much about reflection as it is about celebration, evoking nostalgia and uniting people through the universal language of music.
