Ten years ago, a film about bowel movements, a road trip, and a Bengali father’s hypochondria quietly slipped into theatres.

In a heartfelt tribute to the late actor Irrfan Khan, the Mahalaxmi-based experimental arts performance space, G5A, is set to present "Irrfan (1967 – 2020): A Retrospective". The event, organised by G5A Cinema House and filmmaker Nikkhil Advani, aims to celebrate Irrfan Khan's enduring contribution to cinema through iconic roles in films like Maqbool, Yogi, Rana, Ashoke, and Saajan.

Known for his affable smile and genial ways, Irrfan taught us that you can fall in love not just with a face but with the essence of a person. Khan found his finest hour in this story, with an exquisitely gentle, subtle performance.
