Manthan: Aparaajay Bhishm

Step into the mind of one of the greatest and most tragic warriors of Indian mythology in Manthan: Aparaajay Bhishma. This powerful traditional-experimental play reimagines the final moments of Bhishma Pitamah’s life. As he lies on his bed of arrows, with death at his command yet peace beyond reach, Bhishma reflects on a life of vows, sacrifice, loyalty, love, and haunting regrets. Why did a man who gave up everything for his kingdom receive only solitude and sorrow in return? In this gripping theatrical journey, Bhishma confronts the divine, searching for meaning in his pain and choices. This intense and thought-provoking production blends classical performance styles with bold experimentation, offering a rare opportunity to witness the mastery of Angik (body movement), Vachik (speech), Aharya (costume and makeup), and Satvik (inner emotions)—the four pillars of acting. Through dynamic dialogues, expressive movement, and soul-stirring emotion, the play promises not just a story—but an experience. Come, explore the soul of Bhishma. Book your seat now and experience mythology with a pulse.
