‘Positioning himself as a sympathetic spectator and a somewhat humorous narrator, Krishen Khanna has steadily painted the bandwallah; the heroics of the street have been rendered with a deep humanist sympathy. Krishen Khanna's engagement with music and musicians as a subject has been a steady preoccupation.'
- Gayatri Sinha
