Amrita (A Sublime Love Story) - Hindi Play

Watched it @ Rang Shankara on 27/8/11.
Notes :
  1. 105 minutes without an interval was too long a duration.
  2. It was a play about Amrita Pritam's life.
  3. Lead actress Lovleen(Lavlin) Thadani looked very much like Amrita Pritam herself.
  4. Vijay Nangyal, who played Sahir Ludhianvi, also looked like Sahir.
  5. Dug up more about Amrita Pritam - she was married at the age of 16 first. Then left him and fell in love with Sahir Ludhianvi and eventually settled down with Imroz. Pretty bold for her times, ain't it?
  6. 2003 Hindi film Pinjar is  based on her novel by the same name.
  7. Khushwant Singh once said her autobiography can be written behind a revenue stamp. In response she named her autobiography Raseedi Ticket (Hindi/Punjabi for Revenue Stamp).
  8. Ticket Price : Rs. 100/-
