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”.
Where did I leave my purdah
“Where did I leave my purdah”, written by Mahesh Dattani and directed by Lillete Dubey has all ingredients of a successful play – A crisp story, special effects on stage, partition, sibling rivalry and – cinema.
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.
Miss Julie-Bharat Rang Mahotsav
“Ms. Julie” tells the story of a handsome servant and a count’s daughter, highlighting class divide and the universal struggle to attain desired love, regardless of social status.
The Country without a Post Office– Bharat Rang Mahotsav
The play was unapologetic about the gimmicks and was a mélange that displayed – yes!- the confusing relationship between Kashmir and India. With oodles of sensitivity, in a remarkable span of 45 minutes, the play conveyed the impact of the problem on common people. The stunts teased the senses and were visual as well as conceptual delight. That said, the Jana-Gana-Mana seemed contrived
Chand Roz Aur Meri Jaan – Bharat Rang Mahotsav
The play, directed by Salima Raza, is based on a bunch of letters that Faiz Ahmed Faiz, the revolutionary Pakistani poet and his wife Alys Faiz exchanged over a period of four years while he was in jail. In the course of the play, the protagonists read out their respective letters that they wrote to the other.
The Revised Kamasutra
Dramatized book reading cum play version of The Revised Kama Sutra failed to impress. Just a few laughs here and there and that’s about it.
