JAMMU, June 25: Hindi play ‘Do Kalakaar’, written by Bhagwati Charan Verma and directed by Neeraj Kant was staged here today.
In the play, ‘Churamani’ and ‘Martand’ were two friends—both artists (one poet and another painter) and they had once aspired to rule the Bollywood with their respective 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 who has not been paid the rent of a dingy room for the last six months.
Both sell him dreams to the extent that the room rented out to them will once become a museum which once hosted the great genius of the world of poetry and painting. Finding the distance beyond measurement between their dreams and the reality, the landlord refuses to buy their arguments and throws them out of the room to face further rejection and dejection of the society.
Artists who performed in the play were Sheryaar Salaria, Abhimanyu Choudhary, Sumit Bandaral, Chirag Anand and Aadesh Dhar.
Lights were executed by Neeraj Kant who also did the sound. The play was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen and presentations were done by Gopi Sharma.
