Gulzar Tickets

Gulzar, born Sampooran Singh Kalra on August 18, 1934, in Dina, Punjab (then British India), is one of Indian cinema’s most influential lyricists, directors, and poets. His career spans decades of Hindi cinema, where he collaborated with legendary music directors and crafted lyrics that have resonated with audiences worldwide. Though primarily a writer and director rather than a performing artist, Gulzar’s live appearances offer fans a rare opportunity to experience his storytelling, poetry, and cinematic insights in person.

As a creator, Gulzar has shaped Hindi film music with enduring lines, nuanced storytelling, and a distinctly lyrical voice. His filmography includes directing notable works such as Mere Apne (1971), Parichay, Koshish, and the celebrated TV series Mirza Ghalib. His collaboration with music directors like S. D. Burman, R. D. Burman, Vishal Bhardwaj, and A. R. Rahman has yielded some of Indian cinema’s most memorable songs and moments.

Gulzar’s accolades include the Academy Award for Best Original Song (2009) for Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire, shared with A. R. Rahman, and the accompanying Grammy Award (2010). He has been honored with the Padma Bhushan (2004), the Dadasaheb Phalke Award (2013), and the Jnanpith Award (2024) for lifetime literary achievement, underscoring his enduring influence on literature and cinema.
