Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Dec 22: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Do Kalakaar’ written by Bhagwati Charan Verma and directed by Neeraj Kant.
Churamani and Martand are two artist friends (one poet and another painter) who had once aspired to rule Bollywood with their creative strengths.
The poet had dreamt of becoming the top Hindi Film lyricist and the painter had set a goal for himself to become the most sought after Art Director of the tinsel town but destiny lands them in a situation where both are forced to use their creative energies in creating situations and cooking stories just to escape the harassment of their landlord.
The play opens at a situation where both the poet and the painter have locked themselves in a room which is being visited by the landlord to collect the rent. The landlord forcefully makes his entry despite all unsuccessful efforts by these friends to stop him.
When caught at the corner, both the friends take shelter of their creative mind and start cooking highly logical excuses to impress the landlord so that he may allow them to continue till they are able to realize their unfulfilled dreams.
Both sell him the dreams to the extent that the room rented out to them will one time become a museum to host the great genius of the poetry and painting worlds.
The landlord refuses to buy these arguments and throws them out of the room to face further rejection and dejection of the society.
Mihir Gujral, Sushant Singh Charak, Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Gopi Sharma and Kuldeep Angral acted in the play.
The lights were executed by Neeraj Kant whereas Aarti Devi rendered music of the play. The show was coordinated by Mohd Yaseen and the presentations were done by Kananpreet Kaur.
