Theme

The theme for this year’s Stavya was “Retro Times Revisited” which is basically about retro Bollywood or 1990s Bollywood cinema, this theme had a lot of potential and it was completely utilized by the art club of the cultural committee by putting their all in and making some of the best decorations and props I’ve ever seen with the help club and committee members and event volunteers who worked day and night to make it possible. The props for each event and decorations for stage, selfie point, and event area were all prepared very well in a very short amount of time such as a vintage film camera, giant film tape reels, selfie cutouts, etc.
