Event Details : The Magic Lantern Foundation presents 'The Other Song' Film screening by Saba Dewan.  
In 1935 Rasoolan Bai recorded for the gramophone this thumri - My breasts are wounded, don't throw flowers at me. Never to be sung again, the song eventually got lost. 74 years later the film travels through Varanasi, Lucknow and Muzzafarpur in search of the forgotten song. English subtitles; 120 mins. Filmmaker will be present for discussion.
