From silver screen to OP theatre: Multispecialty hospital comes up on iconic Sangeet Theatre site in Secunderabad
The landmark site in Secunderabad where iconic Sangeet Theatre, once a hub of English cinema in Hyderabad, stood tall now houses a 300-bed multispecialty hospital under the banner of Medicover Hospitals. One of Hyderabad's old theatre, which enthralled audiences for nearly four decades from 1969 to 2008, still serves as a landmark as a junction nearby is known as Sangeet Cross Roads. Its era came to an end, and another began. For generations of cinephiles, Sangeet was more than just a cinema hall. It was a cultural touchstone that brought Hollywood movies to the city long before multiplexes and malls defined its skyline. The theatre was where English blockbusters such as Jaws, Home Alone, Titanic and Jurassic Park played to packed houses, and where Bollywood's Hum Aapke Hain Kaun famously ran in a morning slot for an entire year. Sanjay Shukla, now in his 50s, recalls visiting Sangeet in the early 1990s as an Intermediate student. 'I watched Indiana Jones and many other films there. It was not just about the movies, it was the whole experience. The crowd at Sangeet appreciated English cinema and reacted at just the right moments. Back then, speaking good English was rare, and the theatre drew Anglo-Indians, English-medium educated people, and even those preparing for TOEFL,' he said. The closure of Sangeet in 2008 left a void for many. 'At the time, there were no malls or smartphones. For entertainment, we had Irani cafes and theatres. Sangeet was where friendships began. I met many friends there, and we are still in touch,' Mr. Shukla added. Today, the site that once echoed with applause and cinematic thrills, houses a medical facility featuring 150 intensive care unit (ICU) beds, more than 50 consultation rooms, and eight operation theatres. The hospital houses advanced diagnostic infrastructure, including a catheterisation lab, MRI and CT scan facilities, and offers 24x7 emergency services. A team of over 40 specialist doctors will provide treatment across more than 30 medical disciplines, ranging from cardiology, oncology, neurology, orthopaedics and hepatology to bariatric surgery, robotic surgery, paediatrics, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and vascular surgery. The facility also includes services in dermatology, ENT, gastroenterology, rheumatology, pulmonology, physiotherapy, and nutrition and dietetics, among others.

A play about everyday feminism
Shatarupa Bhattacharyya found herself fascinated by Medea, the Greek mythological character, when she first read about the sorceress many years ago. 'I have been practising theatre for a good 14-15 years now, and in the middle of my theatre journey, I realised that I only wanted to do plays with strong female characters…which talk about women's journeys,' explains the Bengaluru-based theatre artist and social scientist. Medea, says Shatarupa, interested her because she (Medea) had empowered herself. 'I was intrigued by the storyline, the character's agency and the emotional drama, but I also wanted to make it a simpler version because Medea has been done a lot. I wanted to place that premise into contemporary times.' This is exactly what Shatarupa has done with Silvatein – The Wrinkles in Time, a Hindi play that she has written and directed. Performed by the Quissa Collective, it will be staged on August 17 at Medai – The Stage, Koramangala, as part of the third edition of Theatre Binge. This will be the 14th performance of the play, which premiered in Bengaluru in March 2024 and has travelled to Jaipur, Alwar, and Kolkata since its debut. Though originally written in English, the play was translated into Hindi by Puneet Gupta because of the context and a very Indian storyline, explains Shatarupa. 'I wanted its authenticity to come out and I wasn't getting that in English,' she says. 'Hindi made it conversational; English was making it dialogue-oriented.' Silvatein, which tells the story of an encounter between two seeming strangers, Rupali Choudhury and Arijit Mallick, is an 'autopsy of incompatibility,' says Shatarupa. 'As a playwright and director, my objective was not to sensationalise a breakup drama. What I wanted was an exploration of what happens after relationships have ended, and when people replay and reinterpret the past.' The form of the play is ambiguous, with the two people on stage remembering their relationship differently, making the audience question whose truth they are watching. Also, Shatarupa has attempted to structure the play to mimic how human memory seems to work. 'It is not a straight chronology; the narrative is fractured, like how memory works. We do not remember things in a linear fashion.' The play also comes from a personal space, says Shatarupa. 'One of the key elements that I wanted to have in this play is everyday feminism, something that I have seen in my family.' Her early understanding of feminism, came from her mother, grandmother and aunt, 'before I read Simone de Beauvoir or any other feminist scholar.' According to her, this sort of feminism is not about slogans and grand speeches. 'It is about very mundane, almost invisible microdynamics in a relationship.' One of the protagonists in the play, Rupali, played by Ujani Ghosh, for instance, refuses to be defined by past relationships, simply because a man insists, says Shatarupa. Ujani, who sees Rupali as a woman who carries herself with quiet strength, describes her character as 'someone who is stoic on the outside, but constantly navigating the undercurrents of the memory that is there. There are moments where she discovers that her history doesn't define her; it shapes her into a person with agency, choice, resilience…' The character of Arijit, played by Sagnik Sinha, on the other hand, appears to have more shades of grey to him. 'It is easy for someone like me, when I am playing Arijit, to see him as a bad person,' says Sagnik . But, over time, he realised that 'every person is justified in their own truth. It was essential for me to keep that judgment aside and treat the character like a normal person.' The play, Shatarupa says, does not vilify men. 'The male character that Sagnik plays is human and flawed. A lot of times, after the play ended, I've had audience members come up to me and say that they empathise with this character.' By showing the man's perspective, Shatarupa says, the play is trying to make the audience uncomfortable in a productive way. 'The point is not to punish the male characters but to reveal how two people can still live in completely different versions of the same reality.' Silvatein – The Wrinkles in Time will be staged on August 17 at Medai – The Stage, Koramangala, 3.30 pm onwards. Tickets, priced at ₹350, are available on BookMyShow
