UDHAMPUR, July 29 : Natrang’s Sunday Theatre today reached Udhampur where it presented its Super Comedy play ‘Kava Chala Hans Ki Chaal’ at Dhruva Auditorium.
The play ‘Kauva Chala Hans Ki Chaal’ is Hindustani adaptation of world famous French comedy by Moliere and was directed by Sumeet Sharma. Lt. Gen. K.T. Parnaik GOC-in-C Northern Command was the Chief Guest on the occasion. The play was highly appreciated by the audience which included the Officers/JCO’s/OR & ladies of Udhampur Military station.
The play, which has been enacted several times for national and international audiences, is based on the story of Mr. Kumar, a middle-aged “bourgeois” man whose father grew rich as a cloth-merchant. His sole aim in life is to rise above his middle-class background and be accepted as an aristocrat.
His intelligent wife sees that he is making a fool of himself and urges him to return to his previous middle-class life, and to forget all he has learned.
A cash-strapped nobleman called Chadha attaches himself to Mr Kumar. He secretly despises him but flatters his aristocratic dreams by telling Mr Kumar that he has mentioned his name to the bureaucrats so that he can get Kumar to pay his debts.
Kumar’s daughter ‘Dolly’ loves a middle class boy Kukku but this relationship is not acceptable to Kumar as he is very class conscious and wants to marry his daughter in a very rich and reputed family. On this refusal, Bittu, Kukku’s close friend plots a plan, in which he introduces Kukku to Kumar as the Prince of some country who wants to honour Kumar by marrying his daughter. Kumar very easily falls in this trap and agrees to give his daughter to Kukku who is disguised as Prince.
Pawan Verma as ‘Kumar’ was well appreciated for his timing in comedy. Anil Tikkoo, the most senior actor of the team enacted the role of ‘Chadha’ with professional ease. Tajasvi Sharma as ‘Dolly’, Shivika Verma as ‘Merry’, Rahul Singh as ‘Kukku’, Charanjeet Bhardwaj as ‘Bittu’ and Sunita Pandit as ‘Wife’ were very impressive and could muster high appreciation. Others who supported the play included Arti Singh, Sunil Bhardwaj, Chitra Thappar, Uplaksh Singh, Susheel Raina, Rohit Verma, Ashwini Bali, Atin Tikka. Lights were operated by Suraj Ganjoo and Sound was operated by Shammi Kalotra.
