The play captures the essence of classic Bollywood with nods to Madhubala’s ‘Anarkali’ and Kishore Kumar’s melodies. Starring Rakesh Bedi and Delnaaz Irani, this fan-favorite play boasts over 50 successful performances and now debuts with a new version at Kamani Auditorium. “Baap Ka Baap” (Hindi) narrates the emotional bond between Jawan, a devoted father, and his son Bacha.
