He was sharp, stylish, and savage with his pen. He stirred hearts, provoked minds, and never backed down from controversy. Now, the most flamboyant and fearless voice in Gujarati literature returns to the stage — unapologetically.

“Hu Chandrakant Bakshi” is a spellbinding solo performance that dives into the complex mind of Gujarat’s most controversial and celebrated literary icon — Chandrakant Bakshi.

Bold opinions, biting humor, blistering truths — Bakshi’s voice roars from the stage as he revisits his battles with publishers, critics, society, and even himself.
Whether writing columns that ruffled feathers or delivering speeches that brought audiences to their feet, Bakshi was never ordinary — and neither is this play.

Performed masterfully by Pratik Gandhi (of Scam 1992 fame), and directed by acclaimed theatre stalwart Manoj Shah, the play is written by Shishir Ramavat and unfolds with wit, rhythm, and raw theatrical energy.

From a witty raconteur to a relentless rebel, watch Chandrakant Bakshi confront the world — and demand to be remembered on his terms.

It’s not a biography. It’s a conversation.
Not a tribute. A provocation.
Not a memory. A resurrection.

“Its a Lark ! Majja padi gayi!” — That’s what audiences say after witnessing it.
