Sayantika, Mumtaz, Mir perform in Rabindra Jayanti celebrations

Star Jalsha is celebrating the birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore in a special programme which will include music, dance and poetry. Some of the biggest names of the industry and Tagore scholars will perform.
The event will celebrate Rabindranath Tagore’s 153rd birth anniversary. Throughout the ages Rabindranath has been treated and worshipped like a God, but today’s youth is more inclined to see him as a visionary and youth icon, almost as a friend.This is the theme of the show as Bidipta and Samadarshi represent the two opposite opinions. Their conversation is interspersed with performances by Sayantika, Riddhima, Mir, Lopamudra, Sayani, Subhomita, etc.
The programme, Amar Robi, Tomar Thakur, will be aired on Star Jalsha on May 11. For a sneak peek into the special Rabindra Jayanti event, read on:
Sayantika will perform a fusion act of contemporary and semi classical to the song Tomar khola hawa. Sohini will dance to Bhenge mor ghorer chaabi. Sayani, in her performance, makes use of Kalaripayattu, the martial art form, in the choreography. The song she will perform to is Ebar tor mora gange baan eseche. Riddhima will perform to Mor bhabonare ki haowae matalo. Mumtaz, in a Manipuri influenced style mixed with Indian choreography, will performed to the song Dui haathe koler mandira. Subhamita will sing Ghorete Bhromor elo and Monomoy will perform Akaash jure shuninu and Bodhu michhe raag korona. Lopamudra Mitra will sing Tumi kemon kore and Bipul tarongo re.
