Yes, The Spirit of Triumph
YES – The four-day dance-theatre festival “Yes, The Spirit of Triumph” was an amalgam of the arts and talent: Shiamak Davar choreographed the dance sequences, Raghuvendra Rathore designed the dancers’ clothes and ad-man Shivjeet Kullar scripted the razzmatazz. Organised by Bombay Times and produced by Meera Jain, wife of Times Of India Vice-Chairman Samir Jain, at Mumbai’s Jamshed Bhabha Hall, Yes witnessed a megawatt turnout by members of the glam frat including Sharon Prabhakar, Alyque Padamsee and Smita Thackeray, and film folks Sonali Bendre, Raveena Tandon and Anil Kapoor
Play – Shiva Calling
If you were a prisoner sentenced for execution in the morning, and God appeared in front of you to grant you a boon, what would you wish for? That is the question this play aims to answer! This dance theatre takes you on a fascinating journey through time and space exploring the themes of compassion, humility, forgiveness and love. It turns despair into hope, freedom into a state of mind and hurtles towards an unexpected but inspiring end or should we say beginning. Combining theatre and music video it features five original songs written and composed for the production.
Play – 50 Words
Imagine if you were given only 50 words to speak in a day…to learn the true importance of words. Then 49 the next day. After that 48. Till you came down to the 1 most important word in the world!! That’s the unusual and amazing premise of this play. A journey of surprise, shock, disbelief, effort, inspiration, and finally realization. Come join Zara as she travels to the truth.
Dilli Toh Pagal Hai
Singer/Songwriter
Ever the experimenter, Shivjeet has composed a song. Based on the timeless classic “Sound of Silence”, he reinterpreted and transformed it into a song that talks about the growing disconnect between people. How we sit next to each other but refuse to talk. A society that doesn’t think about what they say, but happily text away. Where we communicate in forwards and shares. but rarely an original thought
Novel – Taking The Taj!
Taking the Taj is a fast-paced, page-turner where seven seasoned terrorists take international hostages in the Taj Mahal. It is a nail-biting, adrenaline-pumping account of what happens over the next twenty-four hours. The story keeps shuttling from the present-day situation that the Taj is in, to the times when it was being built, with mindboggling trivia that keeps you glued to the novel – hoping it’d be for real! Shivjeet Kullar conjures up an intriguing account of complexities of human emotions, situations, love and lust. The novel takes you from the highs of power and rebellion to the lows of poverty and submission.

Current Book – The Panda & the Pandemic
The Panda and the Pandemic is Shivjeet’s first children’s book. It’s the story of a panda who escapes from the zoo then hides in a boy’s fridge then when discovered teaches the boy about the Pandemic. In the author’s words ‘no writer’s journey is complete till he has written a kid’s book. And the challenge is to write something that both the kids and parents enjoy’. Which is why, in addition to being a lovely and innocent children’s story the book also has quirky references and humour points that parent pandas will enjoy.
