In this episode, we explore what qualities as a lyricist we adore in his work and deep-dive into some of his lesser discussed songs. Toh aaiye aur suniye, ke Javed sahab ke tarkash se kaise kaise lafzon ka lava phhoota hai. From great poets like Muztar Khairabadi to Jan Nisar Akhtar, from Sahir to Kaifi Azmi; Javed Akhtar continues to bring the tradition of classical poetry into popular hindi film songs.
