Radio Play/Drama is a form of audio storytelling broadcast on radio. With no visual component, Radio Play depends on dialogues, music and sound effects to help the listener imagine the story.
The Radio Play in India is an exclusively twentieth-century phenomenon. It mainly exists because of the need of new medium of communication. Its form and structure were determined by the constraints of that medium. In the 1940s, dramatic presentations were seriously considered as important components of radio entertainment programmes and the proper history of the Radio Play in India began.
Vivid Bharti a service of All India Radio has a long running Hindi Radio Play/ Drama program – Hawa Mahal.
