The future of partying at night with a bunch of people at the same space looks bleak. Industry insiders tell us what to expect instead.

It doesn't look good. That is the assessment we get from people who are in the know about clubbing in the city, about what the future holds for neon-lit night-outs. Imagine this (it won't be easy, given how long it's been). Two strangers are dancing next to each other at a venue like Famous Studios, where a DJ is banging beats.
They are bumping shoulders, feeling the energy of the music. They bond, and head out to the smoking area, where they share a cigarette, that passes from lip to lip. It's unimaginable right now, if you think about it. The prospects of clubbing like that any time soon look as bleak as the landscape in sub-Saharan Africa. What, then, does the future hold for the idea of heading out at night for a party in a place like Mumbai, the city that never sleeps?
