Decoding Mumbai Theatre Guide's Anthem: The Deep Meaning Behind Every Line
MTG Editorial
Mumbai Theatre Guide has unveiled its first-ever song, a heartfelt tribute to Indian theatre, its artists, and their unwavering passion. This unique composition narrates the platform's vision and journey, reflecting its dedication to preserving theatre in the current era.
Inspired by Bhavikk Shah's vision, the song carries profound lyrics and soulful music, emphasizing that every artist and role holds immense potential. Through this anthem, Mumbai Theatre Guide reaffirms its mission to support and promote theatre, ensuring its brilliance continues to shine despite modern challenges. Every line of this song carries deep meaning, making it truly special.
Here, we present a brief explanation of each verse of this beautiful song.
The first four lines highlight why Mumbai Theatre is the heart and pride of the city. They convey how, in today's OTT-dominated world, where theatre-one of the most profound and expressive forms of performing artsтАФis struggling to sustain itself, Mumbai Theatre Guide plays a crucial role in supporting and preserving this fading art form.
These lines convey that art knows no boundaries of form, language, or color. It is a universal expression of love, and at Mumbai Theatre Guide, we are committed to spreading this love into every heart.
This stanza is the soul of the poem, which is why it stands at its center. It emphasizes that Mumbai Theatre Guide values pure artistry in every performance, beyond the glitz, big names, or celebrity status. We firmly believe that every stage performer holds the essence of a true actor, and with the right guidance and encouragement, every artist has the potential to shine as a star.
It is unfortunate that nepotism remains one of the biggest challenges in the industry today. However, through initiatives like E-Natya Chaupal and the Kala Ghoda Festival, Mumbai Theatre Guide continues to fight against this issue and safeguard the integrity of performing arts. The success of E-Natya Chaupal and other programs stands as a testament to these efforts, proving that talent and dedication will always find a stage.
Along with embracing every aspect of being Bharatiya, Mumbai Theatre Guide remains deeply connected to its rootsтАФthe Vedas. Gandharva Ved, an Upaveda of Samaveda, is the foundation from which all performing arts have evolved. Bhavik Shah's vision is to reconnect every Bharatiya with this rich cultural heritage. What began as a dream with Mumbai Theatre is now expanding into a larger movement, evolving into India Theatre.
