Shankar Mahadevan
A clash of two musical families, where in the end, music is the winner. When greed takes the front seat, manipulations shift gears. A race starts, a race that kills whatever comes across the way, a race that ultimately ends on the losing side. When it happens to a music maestro, it is only the music that suffers. Katyar Kaljat Ghusali depicts the story of the art of music suffering, which is uncannily narrated by a Dagger (Katyar).
