Final day’s presentation was marked by a competent performance by the team of young actors who successfully kept up the racy pace of the unfolding events with perfect sense of timing in terms of delivery of dialogs, body movements and gestures.
The play is based on playwright’s experiences during the making of first Dogri film “Gallan Hoyiaan Bitiaan” in which Jatinder Sharma acted as the “Hero”. The play is a comic take on what goes behind the scene during the shooting of film.
