“Any show that breaks the monotony works. If the end product is good, nothing can stop it from being successful.”
Kunal Karan Kapoor

“Art doesn’t give rise to anything in us that isn’t already there. It simply stirs our curious consciousness and sparks a fire that illuminates who we have always wanted to be.”
Kamand Kojouri
