JAMMU, Jan 3: Natrang presented a new chuckle-some comedy play ‘Golmaal’ in its Sunday theatre series which is based on a story by Sacha Guitry and has been translated and directed by Aarushi Thakur.
The story revolves around a south Indian man who wishes to sell his house but is really disappointed that no prospective customers walked that way. The sign ‘For Sale’ has been there since a month but the house appeared not to interest anyone. The house was located near a film studio in Mumbai and was in reasonable condition yet no one seemed interested to buy it.
As the owner retires for relaxation, two customers, ‘Arjun’ and his wife are ushered in by the servant. They are a young couple, from their conversation; it is evident that the wife is more eager to buy the house but the husband shows no interest because he finds the house too expensive which is 10 million. As they are leaving, the wife expresses a desire to see the upper floor. Both the owner and the wife go upstairs.
‘Arjun’ is busy cribbing when another customer ushers in; she is an actress who shows her desire to buy the house and thinks Arjun is the owner. She has loads of money but has no time to inspect the house or go in details. Arjun takes advantage of the situation and quotes the price to be 20 million rupees. To his utmost surprise the lady hands him the cheque and makes a quick departure profiting him a fortune.
The actors who performed in the play include Rajan Thakyal, Prashant Sareen, Nitish Kaul, Vanshika Gupta, Sachin Saini, Vaneeka Gupta and Gopi Sharma. The music was given by Abhee Bargotra and the lights were executed by Ankush Lakhnotra. The presentation of the play was done by Sumeet Sharma and the show was coordinated by Mohd Yaseen and Shivam Singh.
