About the Subject:
Mumbai is the dream city for many youth. They are attracted here by the lure of the small or big screen or the theater scene and lure of name, fame and money. Most of them end up struggling to fulfil their dreams. Some of these struggling artists decided to reflect upon their own lives and those of their colleagues and friends in this sphere.
Challenges & Learnings:
It was painful for many artists to pen the complexities and hardships of their lives in an honest manner. This led to a deep introspection by them.
Conclusion:
It was recognized and accepted that the struggling artists are exploited and cheated and taken for a ride at many instances and to survive they end up making compromises on many levels – emotional, economical and sometimes even physical.
End Product:
The drama which was to be penned by them and then performed at the graduation ceremony could not be completed because of the insistence that it needs to be written in a participatory fashion.
