A reading of Ismat Chughtai’s vibrant play Dozakh
with original music composed by Rakae Jamil
Ismat Chughtai’s play written for the stage is a colourful roller coaster of emotions between two women Naulasi Khanum and Umdah Khanum.

Original music for this reading consists of two tracks composed in Raag Sarang and Raag Bahaar, composed and played by Rakae Jamil.
