Varun Grover brings Love, Death & Ketchup to NCPA Experimental Theatre in Mumbai on 26 and 27 December 2026, with performances at 18:00 and 20:00 on both days. The solo show is performed in Hindi with occasional English. BookMyShow lists a 90-minute running time and a minimum age of 16, and explicitly rules out late entry.
Two fears behind the title
The show's premise pairs fear of death with the rather different prospect of the world running out of ketchup. NCPA describes a personal storytelling set built around those anxieties, rather than a mixed bill. Grover's work also extends to screenwriting, directing and lyrics; his official links include Masaan and All India Rank. For this booking, however, it is his stand-up that takes centre stage. His own December booking link describes these performances as a live taping, an important distinction for anyone choosing between tour stops.
Four sessions, two price schedules
NCPA publishes non-member prices of ₹999, ₹1,499, ₹1,999 and ₹2,499, with member prices of ₹899, ₹1,349, ₹1,799 and ₹2,249. The venue says GST is included. BookMyShow is the booking route linked by the performer and lists prices from ₹999. Choose the date and session before selecting seats: the 18:00 and 20:00 performances are separate bookings. Membership eligibility and the final payable amount should be checked during purchase. The 16-plus rule and prohibition on late entry make arrival planning especially important.
Find the Experimental Theatre at NCPA
The destination is the NCPA campus at NCPA Marg, Nariman Point, Mumbai 400021. Check that your ticket specifies the Experimental Theatre before setting off, since the campus contains several performance spaces. NCPA identifies Churchgate and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus as nearby rail connections; allow time for the onward journey. Its visitor guidance describes on-site parking as limited and allocated in arrival order. Leave a practical margin for traffic, finding the correct auditorium and entry checks. The listed start is the performance time, not a suggested arrival time.
