An Appreciation of the Poetry of Sahir Ludhianvi in Indian Cinema

In the debut episode they discuss Sahir Ludhianvi, a famous Urdu poet and his influence on Indian cinema.  ​Sahir Ludhianvi was a famous Urdu poet who also wrote lyrics for dozens of popular songs in Indian cinema.  ​We shall select some of his best songs, play them a little and discuss why these are important or interesting to us - and why they have stood the test of time. We discuss them with the passion of song lovers, not as critics passing judgment. This is a highly personal take; we make no bones about any special expertise.
