JAMMU, Mar 22: The series of six shows of Balwant Thakur’s Hindi play ‘Jaal’ concluded here today.
Supported by J&K Academy of Art, Culture and Languages, Natrang started this series from Deewan-E-Aam, Mubarakh Mandi.
In a very effective manner this powerful play innovatively showcases how the drug-menace is ruining the younger generation like a rapid fire, crippling developing nations like India.
The play was showcased in connection with Nukkad Theatre Festival organized by J&K Academy of Art, Culture and Languages.
The play was not based on one story-line but as an experiment Balwant Thakur has woven multiple stories in one theme to focus the spread of drug menace like a mesh, taking the toll of the strongest workforce of the country.
In a sequence a young boy is shown struggling for a good company after passing the school and getting entry in the college.
He is isolated for not being a consumer of intoxications. All those around him treat him like a child which really frustrates him and to prove that he has grown-up as a young man now, he starts consuming a variety of intoxications.
In another sequence a rural inhabitation particularly the men-folk is shown drowned in the menace of alcohol.
Actors who performed in the play were Neeraj Kant, Mahikshit Singh, Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Aadesh Dhar, Kananpreet Kaur, Gopi Sharma, Sheryaar Salaria, Mihir Gujral, Amit Brahmi and Sumit Bandaral.
The shows were coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen, Abhimanyu Choudhary and Palshin Dutta.
