Khazana, Ghazal festival, pays tribute to musical legends and supports cancer and thalassemia treatment
The 24th annual Khazana festival, a celebration of ghazals, will be held on July 18-19 in Mumbai, honoring Ustad Zakir Hussain and Mohammed Rafi. This monsoon-themed event, featuring both established and emerging artists, supports the Cancer Patients Aid Association and the Parents Association Thalassemic Unit Trust. MUMBAI: The two-day (July 18-19) Khazana, a festival of ghazals, a medley of mellifluous music and soulful shairi (poetry) at a five-star hotel in the city, will pay tribute to tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain and legendary playback singer Mohammed Rafi as part of the centenary celebrations of the iconic singer. It is a blending of poetry, melody, and purpose. Being held in the middle of the monsoon, the event is expected to embody 'monsoon ragas' as singers, both veterans and new talents selected from a talent hunt, mesmerise the ghazal lovers. Carrying the legacy of ghazal maestro Pankaj Udhas, the 24th year of the festival, like the previous ones, is for the noble cause of supporting the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) and Parents Association Thalassemic Unit Trust (PATUT). 'This is one festival ghazal connoisseurs eagerly wait for. We have people tell us that they did not miss a single edition of the festival in the last 24 years. Speaking of myself, I come more to listen than to sing,' said Ghazal-Bhajan Maestro Anup Jalota, who, along with Udhas and Talat Aziz, originally planned Khazana. Jalota added that the festival is wedded to a good cause as 'treatment of thalassemia and cancer is very expensive, and all proceeds go to the treatment of the patients while no artiste charges anything. ' You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai Apart from Jalota and Aziz, the festival will also feature Rekha Bhardwaj, Sudeep Banerji, Osman Mir, Amir Mir, Pandit Ajay Pohankar, Ajit Pohankar, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Pratibha Singh Baghel, Barnali Chattopadhyay, Kalpana Gandharv, and Himaanshu Sharma. The festival is so popular that ghazal lovers from across the country and even from abroad fly in only to attend the two-day event. 'Khazana carries the echo of my late father Shree Pankaj Udhas even if he is not physically present. It will always remain a beautiful gift he gave to the world,' said Nayab Udhas, Udhas's daughter, the force behind the show. One out of eight carriers of thalassemia live in India, and annually 10,000 children with thalassemia major are born in India. India ranks third globally in new cancer cases, with over 16 lakh diagnosed each year.

Composer Amit Trivedi on actor Fawad Khan's Abir Gulaal getting stalled: The decision was taken keeping India first
There was much anticipation around Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor-starrer Abir Gulaal, and its music caught the attention of moviegoers. The film was initially slated for a May 9 release, but was later postponed indefinitely following the Pahalgam attack and ensuing India-Pakistan diplomatic tensions. But composer Amit Trivedi, who worked on the film's soundtrack and also attended its music launch in Dubai, doesn't regret the film getting stalled. 'The decision [to not release the film] was taken keeping India first and I am in support of it completely,' the musician tells us, exclusively. As an artiste, who invests a lot of time and effort in putting together the soundtrack of a project, does it prick when the project doesn't see the light of the day? 'Yes, it hurts when a project faces trouble. Not just this film, but anything I work on with all the honesty and hard work becomes a part of me. So, a project getting stalled is bound to disappoint you. We make music for the audience and as artistes, that's all you want (your music to reach the fans). But in this case, the scenario was very different. My country comes first, above everything else,' says Amit, who also composed the music for Raid 2. Meanwhile, the musician is set to perform a fundraising concert in Mumbai tomorrow ahead of World No Tobacco Day (May 31) and to raise funds for cancer survivors. Presented by the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA), Amit Trivedi Live! – Music For A Cause aims at spreading awareness about the dangers of tobacco use and raising vital funds for the treatment and rehabilitation of cancer patients. 'I am happy to perform such concerts whenever an opportunity presents itself. The treatment for cancer is very expensive and this is my way of doing my bit. I feel grateful that God chose me for a cause like this,' he ends.
