NEW INDIA BIOSCOPE CO.
New India Bioscope Co. is an (ad)venture founded by Nida Mahmood and Raul Chandra. Self confessed street-o-holics of Indias colorful alleyways both Nida and Raul draw inspiration from the quirks and vibrancy of Indian streets, nooks and crannies. The people, faces, dialogues, conversations, walls and shops, chai stalls, posters, hoardings, songs, dances, rickshaws, crows and cows of Indian multi-hued ethos are all lead characters in New India Bioscope Co rambunctious Technicolor drama. All these characters play their parts on art, graphics, furniture, light fixtures, clothes, and accessories like bags, shoes etc and films designed by New India Bioscope Co.
A Bioscope is that magic box in which we project our Technicolor stories. Stories of mirth, madness and melodrama. Stories that are a song and dance. The song and dance in every person, crow or cow that moves and grooves on our colorful streets.
New India Bioscope Co. celebrates and salutes these stories of art and popular culture of street India.
