Poonch, Aug 10: Natrang team today reached yet another remotest corner of the State and staged plays at village Jhallas (Poonch). Natrang actors enlivened the beautiful environs of Jhallas with highly thought provoking plays written and directed by Padamshree Balwant Thakur.
The hit of the day was Balwant Thakur’s most aspiring theme ‘Choona Hai Aasmaan’ in Hindustani which prepares the youth- the majority population of the State to strive for excellence in life. The play begins with local problems like growing involvement of youth in drugs and the decaying respectability among youth for elders. Later a young-man emerges in the scene who represents the youth- the biggest work-force of Kashmir. This Youngman wants to lead in the world. He also wants to be like the people of the most progressive nations of the world. Despite making all-out efforts he finds that he is unable to make any headway in the present circumstances. He is shattered by finding that people out here are engaged in petty fights initiated by the anti-nationals. Young minds are being infused with negative thoughts, thus ruining their life and career.
The play concludes with the youth pledging to rise above small issues to touch new horizons and scale ultimate heights. This presentation was followed by two Dogri/Pahari plays ‘Iss Gran Gi Swarg Banai Lo’ and ‘Suno Eh Kahani’ which enthralled audiences.
The artists who gave remarkable performances included Neeraj Kant, Mohd. Yaseen, Juhi Singh, Ankush Lakhnotra, Rajan Thakyal, Deepak Mulsoo, Rohit Sharma, Sudesh Parihar, Shivam Singh, Pankaj Verma, Harbans Lal, Kuldeep Raj Gupta, Sonu and Mandeep Singh.
