Mental Talkies is known for giving a stage to diverse artistes from across the city. Initiated in 2019 by Sabir Shaikh, it powered through the two years of COVID-19 online and was a great success. The platform believes in highlighting the identity of the artiste and promoting their work to the audience of the city.
Shaikh is happy about the progress made by the platform. “Back in 2019, there weren’t many platforms that encouraged poetry and its narration. The city deserves to see the talent it has and that motivated me to start the Mental Talkies.”
