Alka – Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2014
A yawn-able play from Little Thespian group that deals with the story of a middle aged couple and their adopted children. The whole script was pointless and acting shoddy… Very disappointed with this offering from Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2014
Anji – Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2014
An abstract but entertaining play touching many a lesser talked about social issues – girls marriageable age, importance of looks in finding a match…. an alternative take on rape etc along with tons of laughter using catchy punchlines and gimmicks made “Anji” an almost masterpiece.
God of Carnage
From two couples against each other to two wives verses two husbands to mixed couples against each other to each to his own… phew… “God of Carnage” was a roller coaster ride full of fun and confusion.
The Ramayana
Jalbala Vaidya plays the narrator and other characters – Dasarath, Kaikeyi, Rama etc. in Akshara Theatre’s “The Ramayan” scripted and directed by Gopal Sharman, this is neither the typical story of Ram nor is the neighborhood Ramlila, Overall Praiseworthy!
Two To Tango Three To Jive
Is sex the new foreplay, to find something meaningful? Ashwin Gidwani and Saurabh Shukla’s “2 to Tango 3 to Jive” touches the raw nerve of everyone who is on a look out to find that “something missing” in their marriage.
The Scent of a man
Suspecting wives know how to handle a situation when their husbands are smelling of another woman’s perfume but do they know how to handle it when he is reeking of “The scent of a man”
Some Times
Pammi, the protagonist, is confused about what he wants from life. Given the twist of events, he gets to see what people in his life think about him and he gets a new perspective. Albeit a little late.
Revisiting the Epics – Tom Alter
Revisiting the epics – An attempt to recreate the thrill of the Indian mythological stories, in a dance narrative that captured the essence of the mythological lores with thought provoking twists
Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai – Anupam Kher
What’s wrong with Anupam Kher? Pushing the audience to clap for him was not what we ever expected from an artist like him. “Kuch bhi ho sakta hai” was probably the most boring soliloquy / stand up comedy act we have seen lately.
Jug Jug Jiyo
“Jug Jug Jiyo” was about celebrating the girl child. In a simple and entertaining manner, the 1 hour 15 minutes play managed to touch the right chords. The play looked like an extension of “Vickey Donor”. Dolly Ahluwalia and Swaroopa Ghosh in their respective Punjabi and Bengali women roles brought life to the characters.
Tumhari Amrita
Shabana Azmi and Farooq Sheikh – in their finest stage performance, reading out letters – The heart warming story of an unrequited love woven in love letters written over a time span of 35 years in “Tumhari Amrita”.
Afsana – Bharat Rang Mahotsav
Afsana, the finale of Bharat Rang Mahotsav is about two middle aged men who became friends after one of them ran over the other’s wife! Both wannabe writers – one got published while the other was struggling with cancer. There is terrorism and cross dressing, mock murder and more kebabs!
Laila Majnu – Bharat Rang Mahotsav
Laila Majnu is a legend about star crossed lovers. This we knew already and we wanted to know more about the love story. This play failed to deliver. All we gathered that there was a dog involved in the fate of the lovers. 😀 A heavy dose or Urdu came in our way of understanding the tale.
Dafa 292 – Bharat Rang Mahotsav
Based on the life and works of Sadat Hasan Manto – Dafa 292 evoked mixed emotions. The play touched social issues in parts without being preachy at all. “Teen Khamosh Auratein” had audience in splits.
