Nida Fazli is one of India’s well-known Urdu poets. Born in Gwalior from where his family left for Pakistan after the partition of India, Nida decided to stay behind and moved to Bombay to see if he could make his mark there as a poet. From the mid-seventies onwards, he has been recognised as one of the leading modernist voices in Urdu poetry. This film is a way to look at the man and his work
