JAMMU, Nov 29: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged a super comedy play ‘Hangama Ho Gaya’ written by Ashok Mishra and directed by Neeraj Kant. The play opens at the residence of a wealthy man ‘Chaggu Mal’ who had advertised for a suitable match for his only daughter and he had organized an interview for the same.
Looking at the lucrative prospect, a huge crowd gathers at his doorstep and most of them come because of sheer greed without even looking at their own eligibility of being the prospective groom for a girl of that much calibre.
The situation becomes even more dramatic when a number of people add to the crowd without even knowing the purpose. The heartbeat of ‘Chaggu Mal’ fastens as all of them were without any worth, every new person entering the interview room adds on to his tension.
The prospective grooms were also shown in a caricature manner where they had dramatic flaws which made the audience laugh and create situational and unavoidable comedy in the play.
After a long and hard day, dealing with the meaningless and tiring interviews, ‘Chaggu Mal’ receives shocking news that the daughter for which he was looking a match and went through all this trouble, had already selected her life partner and informs him through a letter about her decision to marry him.
Natrang actors who performed in the play were Mahikshit Singh, Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Sushant Singh Charak, Chirag Anand, Kuldeep Angral, Kushal Bhat, Mihir Gujral, Abhinav Sharma and Aakash Wadhwan. Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant whereas the music was rendered by Sachin Saini. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
