Sanjay Leela Bhansali presents ‘Bharat Gatha’ on Republic Day

At the 77th Republic Day Parade, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting presented a visually rich tableau titled ‘Bharat Gatha’, created by ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Marking a historic first, an Indian film director designed a Republic Day tableau, bringing cinema into the heart of the national celebration. The presentation highlighted India’s deep-rooted storytelling tradition, from ancient times to modern cinema.

The tableau beautifully traced the evolution of Indian narratives, beginning with the sacred sound of Aum, moving through symbols of knowledge, wisdom, and art, and culminating in the era of vintage film cameras. Through intricate visuals, music, and design, ‘Bharat Gatha’ showcased cinema as a continuation of India’s cultural journey rather than just a form of entertainment.

Adding soul to the spectacle was Shreya Ghoshal’s specially recorded song. Her emotive voice elevated the tableau, perfectly blending tradition with contemporary expression and leaving a lasting impression on Kartavya Path.
