The best serial on Mirza Ghalib

This serial is a timeless creation, which shows the life of Mirza Ghalib. There can be no better director to direct this TV serial than gulzar saheb, no better actor than nasuruddin shah sahab, and needless to mention this serial owes to Jagjit singh, the ghazal maestro.

The ghazals of this TV serial and a masterpiece, unmatched. This serial is ahead of its time in action,direction and content. Its so beautifully portrayed that you move along with the story which makes you feel the time in which mirza ghalib lived. This serial makes you cry, and laugh all together. Its a must watch if you are fan of any of the above mentioned people. I can watch it over and over again, and can go into the time of "Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib "

Ghalib's sher not only have immediate effect on the heart but it makes you think too.
