Anuvab Pal’s The Nation Wants To Know was scheduled for 5 July 2026 at 19:30 in Mumbai’s NCPA Experimental Theatre. The programme belonged to NCPA Off-Stage, presented in collaboration with The Entertainment Factory.

Modern India as the subject

The announced material approached contemporary India through social habits, news headlines and the traces of British colonial rule. It also included the contrast between new high-rise development and the difficulties older people faced with digital services. Everyday behaviour and larger changes in society provided the programme’s connecting thread.

A one-hour English-language listing

NCPA listed the show in English, with a running time of 60 minutes and an age limit of 12 and over. Pal was the named performer. Those details described a single-comedian evening within the centre’s theatre programme, with a specific start time for this July date.

The published ticket categories

The original NCPA tariff distinguished members from the general public: ₹675 for members and ₹750 for non-members, with GST added to both prices. Those figures belonged to the archived July 2026 listing and do not represent current offers or ticket availability.
