Amazing performance. We were 5 people who cam together of all ages and each one of us was mesmerised with your rendition. Absolutely loved Chauboli and your entertainment quotient compared to a great film is 50:1. Keep coming back to Gurgaon!

The performance yesterday was spellbinding and had us at the edge of our seats...thank you for bringing Dastangoi to Gurgaon and I do do hope we will see you both perform again many times.

Javed, Jayanti and others, many many thanks.

Nandini, well done, I have always thought so but the public refuses to bite--we like to bring blockbusters on stage but I hope we will escape our 'Shaan' although Tagore is pushing us nearly there
