On 27th February, the stage of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre witnessed the spectacular staging of Manoj Muntashir’s Krishna – Radha Se Ranbhumi Tak, marking a powerful theatrical celebration of Lord Krishna’s journey. The grand production concluded its Mumbai run with back-to-back houseful shows, reaffirming its deep resonance with audiences across generations.

Directed by renowned choreographer Punit J Pathak and produced by Saregama Live and Neelam Muntashir, the play brought alive the many layers of Lord Krishna’s life with scale, sensitivity, and spectacle. From the tender poetry of Radha’s love to the fierce intensity of the battlefield, the production offered a fresh and immersive perspective on Krishna’s evolution - as a lover, a guide, and a master strategist navigating prem, neeti aur yudh. Backed by soul-stirring music and world-class stagecraft, the show delivered both emotional depth and grand visual storytelling.

The audience was as illustrious as the performance itself. Among those in attendance were Varun Dhawan, Shilpa Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Ravi Dubey, Sargun Mehta, Shakti Mohan, Gaur Gopal Das, Jasmin Bhasin, Jay Bhanushali, Bharti Singh, and Maharashtra Cultural Affairs Minister Ashish Shelar, along with several other distinguished guests. The evening brought together industry veterans and the next generation alike, all captivated by Manoj Muntashir’s evocative narration and the sheer scale of the production.

Reflecting on the soul of the show, Manoj Muntashir shared, “Sharing the story of Lord Krishna in such a grand way has been a truly special experience. Seeing one of the biggest auditoriums full and witnessing how this journey touched people of all ages is exactly why we created this show. It’s a heartfelt tribute to the greatest storyteller, and I’m so glad the audience felt that same connection.”

Siddharth Anand Kumar, Executive Vice President – Films, Series and Events, added, “At Saregama Live, our vision has always been to create experiences that blend legacy with large-scale storytelling. Krishna – Radha Se Ranbhumi Tak is not just a theatrical production; it is an emotional and cultural celebration mounted at a world-class scale. The overwhelming response in Mumbai reinforces our belief that audiences are seeking meaningful stories presented with cinematic grandeur, and we are proud to take this journey forward to newer cities.”

Following its resounding success in Mumbai, the production now travels to Pune. The show will continue its journey at Buntara Bhavan from 20th to 22nd March, promising to recreate the same grandeur and emotional resonance for audiences there.
