After a successful run in Mumbai, the world’s first mega musical on Shri Krishna , Rajadhiraaj : Love Life Leela, is set to enchant audiences in New Delhi at the iconic Jawaharlal Nehru Auditorium, with shows scheduled from November 29th to December 8th, 2024. Conceptualized and brought to life by Dhanraj Nathwani , this production has redefined Indian theatre, offering a portrayal of the magnanimity and grace of Shri Krishna through a mesmerising theatrical experience.
The musical masterpiece, which ran to packed audiences at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre’s ( NMACC ) Grand Theatre in Mumbai, received high praise from celebrities and audiences alike and has solidified its status as a cultural phenomenon, resonating with people of all ages.

Inviting audiences to experience the magic and majesty of Shri Krishna, Dhanraj Nathwani, said, "Creating 'Rajadhiraaj: Love Life Leela' has been a journey of devotion and passion for me. Shri Krishna's life is an endless source of inspiration, and through this musical, our aim is to share the beauty, wisdom, and love that he embodies. I am thrilled to bring his timeless stories and intertwining journeys of Shri Krishna as Shrinathji and Dwarkadheesh, in a way that has never been seen before, embarking the audience on an unforgettable journey into the divine saga of Shri Krishna.”


He further added, “Bringing Rajadhiraaj to Delhi holds immense significance, as we are close to Krishna's birthplace and the revered land of Mathura-Vrindavan. Being in proximity to such a sacred area allows us to feel a deeper connection with Krishna, while we share his timeless stories with a broader audience. The success of our shows in Mumbai has reaffirmed that Krishna’s life and teachings resonate profoundly with people of all ages. We are excited to bring this unique theatrical experience to the audiences of Delhi.”


Written by renowned screenwriter and Padma Shri Awardee Prasoon Joshi and directed by seasoned musical theatre expert Shruti Sharma, this production takes the audience on an enthralling journey through Shri Krishna's playful and divine tales. From Vrindavan to Mathura and Vraj to Dwarka, over 180 artists bring this musical to life. The production's allure is amplified by a powerful soundtrack of 20 original songs by Sachin-Jigar, blending Western symphonic elements from Budapest with Indian classical, Haveli Sangeet, Rajasthani and Gujarati folk, and Hindustani semi-classical music. Omung Kumar’s intricate production design, and the mesmerising choreography of Bertwin D’Souza and Shampa Gopikrishna, performed by more than 60 dancers, further enhance the immersive experience. The show is creatively produced by Parthiv Gohil and Viral Rachh, both seasoned veterans in music and theatre, while National Award-winning writer Raam Mori has meticulously contributed to the project's in-depth story research. Celebrated costume designer Neeta Lulla, known for her work in iconic Indian films, brings mythical characters to life through 1,800 bespoke custom-made costumes that highlight the divine playfulness, courage, and philosophical depth of the characters.
