The highlight of the evening was The Mind Factory, a dazzling musical inspired by Roald Dahl’s beloved characters Matilda Wormwood and Charlie Bucket. Conceived and directed by Shriek of Silence, the production transformed the Kala Mandir stage into a vibrant, magical world filled with lights, movement, music, and drama. Featuring characters including Augustus Gloop, Sophie, and Mike Tevee, the narrative followed the children’s journey into Willy Wonka’s fantastical realm, reimagining the chocolatier as brave and kind under the influence of Matilda and Charlie.

The memorable evening concluded with an appreciative Vote of Thanks by Headmistress Ms Karishma Surana, followed by the National Anthem—bringing the enchanting celebration to a graceful close.
