About
Famous theatre known for quality plays and cultural events. Founded in 1978 by the legendary Kapoor family—Shashi and Jennifer Kapoor—this intimate 200-seat theatre in Juhu has become the cradle of Mumbai's Hindi and English stage. The venue has launched the careers of many Bollywood actors who started on its stage. The adjacent Prithvi Cafe, set beneath banyan trees, is legendary for its Irish coffee and theatre-loving crowd. The theatre hosts daily performances ranging from experimental drama to classic plays, stand-up comedy, and poetry readings. With its affordable ticket prices and welcoming atmosphere, Prithvi remains the most accessible and beloved cultural space in Mumbai.
