Mehfil with Pandit Shrikant Waikar (Khayal)
Programme Type
Cultural
 
 
Shrikant was born into a family whose tradition is steeped in music. His father, Pandit D. K. Jangam, was a student of Pandit Vinayakrao Patwardhan who had, in turn, received ta'lim from Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar. Thus, while Shrikant's musical perspective is firmly rooted in the rich tradition of Gwalior gharana, he is also influenced by the gayaki of Ustad Amir Khan and Pandit Bhimsen Joshi. For this special mehfil, Shrikant will present a selection of makhsoos ragas of the Gwalior gharana with an emphasis on an eclectic selection of bandishes featuring those of his father as well

Director: Sanju Surendran
 
Recipient of the National Award for Best Documentary (Arts & Culture), 62nd National Film Awards; Special Mention, Visions du Reel, Nyon, Switzerland; John Abraham Award for Best documentary Film, SIGNS 2015
 
The National Award-winning documentary Kapila revives popular interest in an ancient dance form by portraying it through the eyes of one of its most talented exponents in Kerala. Kapila is an actor-performer of Kutiyattam, one of the oldest forms of theatre originating in Kerala. The acting-style is based on hand movement and facial expressions. Sanju Surendran composes a dreamlike and abstract portrait, focussing on the sensorial universe of a hyper-contemporary vestal committed to a thousand-year-old practice
