JAMMU, May 13: Natrang staged a Hindi comedy play ‘Prem Visheshagya’ written by Hari Shanker Parsai and directed by Balwant Thakur at its Studio Theatre in weekly theatre series ‘Sunday Theatre’.
The play ‘Prem Visheshagya’ comments on the young generation, who are engrossed in the idea of love, so much so that they are ready to die for the one they love. This humorous comedy tickled the audience, for whom it was difficult to resist their laughter at every instant.
The play revolves around a love guru who has opened a clinic to cater to the growing demand of relationship conflicts. Claiming himself to be the last destination of all broken hearts, he confronts with such complicated cases that he himself trapped into similar complications.
The dramatic turn comes in the play when a young girl comes to his clinic to get rid of the modern ‘Majnu’ who has sacrificed everything for her. In the process of treating the girl, the love Guru falls in her love, thus creating yet another comic situation. Who will treat if the doctor himself becomes the patient?
Other than making us laugh, the play conveys very strong message to the society also, particularly to the youth, who is required to concentrate more on career rather than flying high on imaginative, unreal and dreamy clouds of what we term as infatuation.
Mahikshit Singh as ‘Doctor’, Goutam Sharma as ‘Patient’, Vanshika Gupta as ‘Ragini’, Bhisham Gupta as ‘Father’ and Sushant Singh Charak as ‘Attendant’ did justice to their characters. Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant whereas the music was rendered by Gautam Kumar. The sets were designed by Vanshika Gupta and Mahikshit Singh. Meenakshi Bhagat did the presentations and the show was coordinated by Mohd Yaseen.
