AAW #75
Sep 09 - Sep 15 2016
Gujarati Cinema is on an upturn and we think that Wrong Side Raju is the next big genre opener. Starring talented Pratik Gandhi in the lead, the film promises to be an edge of the seat thriller, something the audience has never experienced in any gujarati language film in decades. And so the film finds a place in the AAW, as a must do activity for the week.
Except for Raju, Team CreativeYatra, and Ahmedabad has a lot to catch up on this week, from influential dramas to inspiring visual arts events, from hilarious stand-up comedy gigs to some of the best film screening shows. This week has a lot to enrich you, so fasten your seatbelts, and enjoy the ride!
With the start of 2016, the world of performing arts grieved over the loss of a soul so pious and expressive, Mrinalini Sarabhai the famous Bharatnatyam and Kathakali dancer. Hailing from Kerala, Mrinalini has studied under Rabindranath Tagore and was mentored by the legendary Kathakali recitalist Guru Kunchu Kurup. Choreographed more than 300 dramas and trained over 18,000 students in Bharatnatyam and Kathakali, she was awarded Padma Bhushan in 1992 and is also the founder of Darpan Academy of Performing Arts, Ahmedabad. In AAW 75 we remember the legend and express our gratitude towards the tremendous body of work that she has left for all of us to enjoy.
