Scene 29A – The Playback Singer’s Black SUV – Mumbai
Mumbai, a city that never sleeps, had long since shed its day-to-day fatigue. As the clock struck midnight, the metropolis shimmered under a blanket of humidity, an organism whose pulse quickened with every passing moment. The skyline, a jagged silhouette against the velvety night, gleamed with glassy arrogance, its reflections stretching across the wet streets like whispers of forgotten secrets.
The sea-face, still wet from the monsoon's kiss, murmured softly against the shore, as though in conversation with the winds. Even now, long past the hour when most would rest, the city hummed, a restless symphony of neon lights and distant echoes, a city alive with possibilities, as though the night were only just beginning.
At the heart of this living, breathing entity stood Oceanic Studios, a place as modest as it was legendary. From the outside, it was easy to miss: a simple cube of whitewashed walls, its palm tree leaning against the gate like an old, weathered sentinel.
Yet, to those who understood the pulse of the industry, this unassuming studio was sacred ground. Within these walls, blockbusters were born, songs immortalized, and legends created. The corridors were aglow with soft, ambient lighting, and the faint scent of strong coffee mixed with the residual warmth of hours spent in creative frenzy.
And in the center of it all, in a soundproof booth where the air still seemed to hum with her presence, lingered the voice that had defined an entire generation.
Anaya Sharma.
She was more than just a playback singer, Anaya was a national treasure. Her voice had become the soundtrack of modern India: the melody that accompanied weddings, the anthem that filled cricket stadiums, the lullaby that rocked newborns to sleep, the soundtrack to political rallies that echoed across the nation.
She had woven herself into the very fabric of the country, a voice that transcended music itself. Her range was legendary, velvety and tender in the quiet moments, sharp and commanding in her crescendos, fierce with passion, and poignant in her sorrow. To hear her was to be moved, to be transported into another world.
Her voice had been the heartbeat of a thousand film scores, the soul of countless performances. No actor dared to claim a performance was complete until her voice had graced it. Directors had built their careers around her, and fans had elevated her to near-divine status. She was raag ki devi, the goddess of melody, her artistry an emblem of a bygone era when music was an untouchable art form.
Tonight, after six grueling hours of recording takes, she emerged from the sound booth like a vision, a goddess stepping out of the tapestry of sound she had created. Her ivory silk kurta, embroidered with delicate gold vines, shimmered under the studio lights. A pale shawl dbangd effortlessly over her shoulders, while diamond studs sparkled against the soft glow, catching the light like fragments of the stars themselves.
