'Gul aur Gulshan': A Love Story With No Ending

Qisse Kahaniyaan · 2021-09-01

All of us have read passionate stories about tragic lovers like Laila-Majnu, Heer-Ranja, or Soni-Mahiwal who stood with each other in the face of adversities.

This episode of Qisse Kahaniya is based on one such story. It is the tale of Gul aur Gulshan from Gulistan — a small hamlet in Kashmir. These two lovers are madly in love with each other when the rivalry between their families is equally bitter.

In year 2008, their story faces the most difficult phase, much like Kashmir itself.

What happens to their lives when fate takes its turn? Does it have a happy ending? Well, what is the meaning of a happy ending when some love stories just don't end?

Tune in to episode 11 of Qisse Kahaniyaan!

Qisse Kahaniyaan

There is a special place in our memory for our first love. We cherish that sweetness of festivals when we were growing up. A song from the 90s invokes many a colourful memories. The smell of the first monsoon rain evokes the imagery of paper boats that we rowed in little streams. We keep some memories hidden in our chest forever. My name is Alif, and I am a cinematographer by profession and a storyteller by choice. I grew up in a set-up where many evenings were spent listening to folklore from the elderly. I'd get hooked to those stories and would often bring them to life in my imagination. Qisse Kahaniyaan is my attempt to bring you some such memories wrapped in words and dressed in sound. My promise is that each of these stories will be juiced with nostalgia and memories.
