JAMMU, June 24: ‘Baasi Bhaat Main Khuda Ka Sanjhha’, a play in Hindi based on Munshi Prem Chand’s story, was featured here today in Natrang’s Sunday Theatre series at its Studio Theatre. The play, directed by Neeraj Kant, carried a very thought pondering message which had a lot to convey to the audience.
The play ‘Baasi Bhaat Main Khuda Ka Sanjhha’, in a very subtle manner, projects how a person’s faith is changed because of changing circumstances. One ‘Dina Nath’ is shown in a very pitiable condition in the beginning of the play as he is without any job since months, to meet his day to day expanses. He had exhausted all the resources even household things and whatever meagre jewellery his wife possessed was also sold. He had borrowed money from all his friends and acquaintances which increased his worries even more as people started to grapple him from neck to get their money back but as there was no regular source of income, every penny was exhausted. This frustration makes him atheist and he blames God for all his miseries. One day he finds a good job and after a few months of regular income, his condition improves and he again starts believing in God and his blessings. He gets promotion in his job with the condition to do some illegal work, which makes him fearful of God’s fury but somehow he gets escaped and suddenly he turns out to be an atheist once again considering that he himself is the master of his destiny. This inconsistent belief and its shifting with the shifting of circumstances is in very nature of all those who don’t have any conviction and this ironical behaviour was very aptly expressed in the play.
Natrang actors, who acted in the play. included Shivam Singh, Meenakshi Bhagat, Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Sachin Saini and Bhisham Gupta. Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant and the music was scored by Brijesh Avtar Sharma. The show was coordinated by Mohd Yaseen.
