Masha Art presents Bond to Bachchan, a group exhibition that traverses the rich cinematic terrain of two cultural titans - James Bond and Amitabh Bachchan. Opening on January 24, 2025, at the Taj Mahal, New Delhi, this exhibition brings together 21 works, peeling away layers of cinematic brilliance and celebrating the enduring magic of cinema and its iconic narratives. It revisits the golden years of cinema, when both Bond and Bachchan united the masses under one banner, with their influence resonating in both global and Indian popular culture.
Embarking on a journey through the cultural footprints of cinematic icons, this exhibition captures the suave charisma of Bond and the multifaceted persona of Bachchan. The show celebrates the creative diversity and evolution of cinema through the works of 16 artists, each offering their unique interpretation and distinct artistic vocabulary.
While the power of the darkened cinema hall, the booming voice of the actors, the larger-than-life characters they portray, and the fantasy it allowed even the working-class individual to slip into, cinema is indeed hard to parallel as an immersive experience
