Returning to his forte of �romatic ghazals', Jagjit Singh, after his success of the audio album, is on a �Inteha' Ghazal tour in U.S.A. & Canada.

While the �Inteha' tour is setting new benchmarks, �Live Performance' has taken a new meaning with Big Home Video releasing the Maestro's latest album �Inteha' on home video format. �Inteha', literally meaning �extreme', has Jagjit Singh collaborating with a team of young lyricists- Aalok Shrivastav, Payyam Sayeedi, Faragh Rushvi, Rajendranath Rahbar, Sanjay Masoom, Amjad Islam Amjad and Naseem Ajmeri. The ghazals are an amalgamation of diversity of expressions and variety of meaning.

What makes �Inteha' a collector's delight is that the home video format, (DVD at Rs.199, VCD at Rs. 99), features all 8 ghazals in full length videos. Ghazal aficionados can now watch Jagjit Singh perform live in the comfort of their home. As music becomes more �visual', and songs are more �seen' than �heard', Big Music & Home Entertainment, has captured the brilliance of the maestro, in both audio as well as home video format. Fans can now own the mesmerizing voice as well as experience the legend �perform' in their home.
