This event aims to celebrate the indelible cultural mark left by old Hollywood and Bollywood movies on audiences, blending the glamour and artistic flair that defined the golden eras of these iconic film industries. The event will be an immersive experience, transporting attendees to a time when movie-going was an all encompassing cultural spectacle. This theme reflects deeply with the cinematic pursuits of English literature, where the appreciation of classic works of art and the exploration of cultural and historical contexts lie at the heart of its pursuit. Attendees will be treated to an evening of unforgettable performances, curated playlists of iconic movie soundtracks, and an ambience that recaptures the enchanting worlds of these beloved film industries.
