In the late 1990s, when art curator Birad Rajaram Yagnik walked into the iconic Cinema Ghar at Banjara Hills for the first time, he was awed by the very structure. “I had displayed photographs shot by the famous film maker Bimal Roy. His daughter Aparajitha Sinha had commissioned the project. MF Hussain provided the place free of cost,” recalls Yagnik.
Like Yagnik, several art aficionados across Hyderabad were left speechless when they recently woke up to the news that Hussain’s unique museum was to be razed. There’s just a pile of rubble at the site now. “Cinema Ghar represented MF Hussain connect with Hyderabad. It was his way of celebrating the city in an era when hardly any art galleries existed,” says Yagnik, who is also an author.
