    Kavan: What's Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar got to do with an opera? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The combination of politics and art stands out for me in Kavan. And to get to work with performers from Yalgaar who are politically, theatrically and musically at the top of their game is an honour for any director People often stay away from political or critical theatre presentations today. Our approach is that we will present our thoughts no matter what. Hopefully, it will encourage more people to think beyond their limited world view As artistes, it’s equally important to watch the performan

    Abhijeet Sawant: Monopoly and monotony should have no place in music (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    I feel people are afraid to experiment in film music today. It has become trend-driven and for the audience, that is a bummer. So, people have moved to hearing independent songs. I think that ways indie music is filling the vacuum created by non-original film music I have been learning music since childhood, but it was about the time I was in class X that I first performed publicly. And that was at a Ganeshotsav pandal. In a way, my journey in the field of music started from this festival

The hardcover copies would sell at about Rs900-1000 back then and I had a small girl coming here to buy the book with coins from her piggy bank.

But I am getting back on track with my reading

    Sanskruti Balgude: There's no guarantee on what will work. So, who is stopping filmmakers from experimenting? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When you’re just a performer, you tend to be selfish. You want your peace, space and things done in a certain way. But as a producer, I’ve come to realise that some things are beyond your control I won’t be part of something mediocre; my heart won’t be in it.
