JAMMU, Feb 15: Complementing the valentine week in its regular weekly Sunday Theatre, Natrang staged a Hindi comedy play— Prem Visheshagya, at its Studio Theatre, here today.
The play was written by Hari Shanker Parsai and directed by Balwant Thakur.
The play comments on the young generation, which is 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 story of 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 gets 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 Sambyal as ‘Doctor’, Pankaj Verma as ‘Patient’, Shubam Soni as ‘Ragini’, Ankush Lakhnotra as ‘Father’ and Shivam Singh as ‘Attendant’ did justice to their characters by performing very well with professional ease.
Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant and the sets were designed by Shubam Soni and Ankush Lakhnotra. Masood Qadir did the presentation and the show was coordinated by Mohd Yaseen.
