TMYS Review - March 2021 themed on ARTISTS & AFTERLIVES is our fourth issue carrying memoirs and essays on six wonderful talents from Indian Cinema, who have lost their mortal form in 2020. This issue is a tribute and a farewell, in fond memory of the beautiful cinematic moments the audience has been fortunate to receive from the bygone artists.
But, can artists ever be actually gone? The famous quote by Horace echoes, “I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.”
The essays in the ARTISTS & AFTERLIVES issue discuss and analyse the facts behind such a claim.
