The
Ministry
of
Information
and
Broadcasting
is
bringing
filmmaker
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
and
singer
Shreya
Ghoshal
together
for
the
Republic
Day
tableau,
creating
a
special
tribute
to
Indian
cinema,
music
and
storytelling
on
Kartavya
Path.
For
the
Republic
Day
Parade,
Bhansali
designs
a
concept
titled
‘Bharat
Gatha’,
which
becomes
the
first
instance
of
an
Indian
film
director
leading
a
tableau
that
specifically
represents
Indian
cinema
at
this
nationally
watched
ceremonial
event.
Creative
vision
of
Republic
Day
tableau
Bharat
Gatha
Indian
cinema
Under
the
Bharat
Gatha
theme,
the
Ministry’s
tableau
looks
at
India’s
storytelling
heritage
as
a
continuous
chain,
where
folk
forms,
classical
arts
and
modern
cinema
sit
side
by
side,
showing
how
music,
visuals
and
performance
pass
from
one
generation
to
another.
Bhansali’s
approach
places
cinema
within
this
wider
cultural
frame,
treating
films
as
part
of
India’s
long
narrative
tradition
rather
than
as
stand-alone
entertainment,
and
highlighting
how
Indian
cinema
carries
local
stories
to
audiences
both
within
the
country
and
across
the
world.

tableau
Bharat
Gatha
Indian
cinema
To
support
this
vision,
Bhansali
involves
Shreya
Ghoshal
for
a
specially
composed
track,
which
plays
in
sync
with
the
tableau
as
it
moves
along
Kartavya
Path
on
January
26,
linking
the
visual
design
with
a
strong
musical
presence.
A
source
close
to
the
development
shared,
“Shreya
Ghoshal
has
rendered
a
specially
composed
song
for
Bharat
Gatha,
the
Republic
Day
tableau
conceptualised
by
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali.
Music
has
always
been
integral
to
Bhansali’s
storytelling,
and
whenever
he
and
Shreya
come
together,
the
result
carries
a
rare
emotional
depth.
Their
collaboration
has
consistently
created
moments
that
stay
with
audiences,
and
this
time,
that
musical
magic
will
unfold
on
Kartavya
Path,
becoming
a
part
of
the
Republic
Day
Parade
itself.”
The
Ministry’s
collaboration
with
Bhansali
and
Shreya
Ghoshal
aims
to
show
Indian
cinema
as
an
extension
of
India’s
civilisational
storytelling,
treating
film
songs,
images
and
characters
as
cultural
symbols
that
continue
to
represent
the
country
on
international
platforms.
With
Bhansali
shaping
the
narrative
design
and
Shreya
Ghoshal’s
voice
giving
the
music
emotional
weight,
the
Bharat
Gatha
Republic
Day
tableau
is
set
up
as
a
heartfelt
salute
to
Indian
storytelling
traditions,
where
history,
culture
and
cinema
meet
in
one
shared
display.
