GOSWAMI TULSIDAS
Shekhar
Sen's Goswami Tulsidas 'A memorable, mesmerising
experience.'
I had every intention of slipping away after half an hour.
But I stayed on, glued to my seat and witnessed the
120-minute play written, acted and directed by the
exceptionally gifted Shekhar Sen.
Even if you are not a Ram bhakt or not interested in Bhakti
Ras, the performance and presentation which happens to be
Shekhar's first ever, coupled with his full-throated singing
- have a spell binding effect on the viewers.
Screen May, 1998.
Actor Director Shekhar Sen's solo
performance is striking enough to make an atheist sit up. A
sense of tranquility prevails as the poet saunt narrates his
"jeevan gatha" and sings bhajans in melliflous tones. He is
in communion with epic figures who seem omni present.

Goswami Tulsidas ..... Sampoorna pane

Seers' Songs... As the curtain rises
Shekhar Sen proceeds to wow teh Delhi crowd. The pleasure
also lies in discovery : this unknown bundle of talent
touches a deep chord in our hearts as no one has dor a long
time. He sings, he acts, he talks - on so simply and
directly - and tells a story with a moral. He is capable of
... keeping his audience engrossed for over two hours.

Katha Tulsidas ki Man bha gayee
Jis Tarah Shekhar ne dhai Ghante tak akayle darshako ko
bandhkar rakha, woh apne aapme abhootpurva tha ! Aisa laga
mano Tulsi baba sakshat humain apni katha suna rahe ho!
