Some Stories don’t need big stages… sometimes they are born on a NUKKAD among real people and real emotions. 🎭✨ Created this small tribute reel celebrating the heart, hustle, and honesty of independent cinema "NUKKAD NATAK". More power to stories that dare to begin. ❤️ @molshriii @deartanmaya @howtoenter_bollywood @shivangrajpal_ [NukkadNatak IndependentCinema NewVoices PassionProjects Ai]

Hola cinephiles & art supporters! Our hearts are filled with joy & gratitude with Nukkad Natak’s screening in Navi Mumbai Last Sunday, we witnessed the power of community. Seeing Tanmaya Shekhar’s vision and Molshri’s performance move from the streets to the silver screen was a dream realized—not just for us, but for every independent artist fighting for a seat at the table. We would like to thank everyone who joined Project Kalakriti to support indie cinema without the “big distribution” safety net. Major shoutout to Abhishek Shetye, Chandar, Husain, Ashutosh, Lakshay & Navjot & team that supported us virtually. @shetyex @chandar @lakshaysharma.in @ashutosh0633 @mai_hu.sane You are the reason stories like these survive and thrive. The big screen belongs to everyone. Thank you for making it happen. Congratulations and gratitude to the director Tanmaya Shekhar , actor Molshri and the entire cast & crew of Nukkad Natak who joined us after the screening in person to interact and share some insights with the audience. @molshriii @deartanmaya Major thanks to our sustainability partners @indiejeanous Dev & Yogita @dev.patel_1006 @_iyogita_18 for supporting the cause by getting some interesting and sustainable giveaways for the audience. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Shapers community from GSC Navi Mumbai , Mumbai & Thane hubs who shared & supported the cause in person @globalshapersthane @globalshapersnavimumbai Our heartfelt gratitude to the team of Cinepolis India that supported us with the celebrating the idea of Indie Cinema with the audiences. #IndependentCinema #FilmCommunity #ProjectKalakriti #ActorLife #DirectorLife

No hoardings. No paid ads. No permissions. Just filmmakers, music, and the streets of Mumbai. This Sunday, the team behind Nukkad Naatak took their film from Versova to Marine Drive— singing, talking, listening, and turning everyday streets into a moving cinema hall. This wasn’t promotion. This was connection. Cinema, straight from the streets. #NukkadNaatak #IndependentCinema #IndieFilmIndia #StreetCinema #MumbaiStories

“It’s a gift to be made by the art you make.” - Sumi Mathai @othermathai was working in advertising when her short film was selected by a grant programme organised by Mumbai Film Festival, receiving a Special Jury Mention which gave her the belief and momentum to pursue filmmaking.
