With themes like gender stereotypes, women's empowerment and social justice, children's theatre is not just about child's play any more. The realisation that children, regardless of their age, are also opinion makers is being mirrored in stages big and small, say theatre veterans. "At the ground level, in small towns and cities, almost all schools do at least one production every year as part of their annual functions. Apart from established theatre groups taking up children's projects, there are groups that are devotedly working for and with children," Abdul Latif Khatana, chief of Theatre in Education (TIE) Company at the National School of Drama (NSD), told PTI. Despite a short history of 30-35 years, children's theatre has grown rapidly with serious work happening at the grassroots level, he said. In its early years, children's theatre was all about enacting fairy tales and dressing children up but now the subjects have "matured" to issues like women's empowerment, gender ...

I'm the king first, not audience: Shoojit Sircar
Shoojit Sircar on Friday said he does not make his films wondering whether the audience will approve of it as the director believes he is the "king first". The filmmaker recounted the public's mixed reaction to his latest directorial October, saying a lot of people thought that the Varun Dhawan-Banita Sandhu starrer was slow. "A lot of people saw October' and told me that the film was really slow. And I was like Fine what can I say?' It's a territory where you can't be blindly sure of what you are doing.

People tell me but audience is the king', no but I am the king first. It is not in my control whether the audience will like my film or not. I will tell a story the way I feel it, I'm enjoying it or how my mind is processing it, Sircar said during a conversation with film critic Saibal Chatterjee at the session
