About the staging of the performance Mehseti (1964) by the poet Kamala Agayeva (dedicated to Mehseti Ganjavi) in the Nakhichevan Theater, theater critic Jafar Jafarov writes:
Experienced director Bakhshi Galandarli refused from a detailed depiction of the historical environment, from lush scenery, bright costumes and colorful accessories. The play attracted attention with the simplicity of the director's handwriting and economy of visual aids. It convincingly showed the clash of two worldviews, two philosophical principles: optimism and asceticism, which is respectively symbolized by the images of the Mosque and Kharabat. Jafar Jafarov. Азербайджанский театр / Red. A. Anastasiyeva. — История советского драматического театра: Наука, 1966. — Vol. 2. — p. 291.
He died on 14 September 1985, in Nakhchivan and was buried in Erivan.
