| Written & Directed by: Bhadra Basu ; The play tracks the trajectory of Gauharjaan, who, through rigorous training from famous maestros and her innate finer artistic sensibilities, emerges as the 'Nightingale of Kolkata' in late 19th Century, Kolkata. Her sharp intellect and unique style of musical rendition make her the 'Jaan-E-Kalkatta'. One of the pioneers to record her voice in gramophone discs, she amasses huge wealth, but is betrayed and deprived of her fortune by the men she trusts most, and ends up fighting extended court cases. Finally she has to accept the job of the court singer at Mysore where she dies broken hearted in 1930. |
