JAMMU, Oct 23: This was one of the busiest Sundays for Natrang when one of its team is performing the cultural traditions of the State in Jammu & Kashmir Festival being held at London, another team had a performance at Bathinda, Punjab in SARAS Fest, organised by Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India and yet another team presented Hindustani adaptation of legendary playwright Balwant Gargi’s play ‘Kabab Mein Haddi’ under the direction of Balwant Thakur, in its weekly series ‘Sunday Theatre’.
As the title suggests, ‘Kabab Mein Haddi’ is a story of an intruder between two lovers. Naseem and Safdar are two college friends. Naseem is in love with Jameela. Both are post-graduate students studying in a University. Jameela is putting-up in the girls hostel whereas Naseem and Safdar are living in a rented accommodation. Despite having engaged they hardly find any space and avenue to meet each other to share their feelings. Jameela’s hostel warden is very strict and hardly allows her to move out and this side, Naseem’s sticky friend Safdar hardly leaves him alone. Both have been shown making attempts to meet each other but in vain.
Mustering courage and pulling in all resources they plan their outing. The movement they step-out, Safdar makes his un-wanted entry and offers them to escort them throughout their outing. Both try to convince him that they can move on their own but this foolish friend is not ready to buy their arguments and forcefully accompanies them.
The play was presented in a beautiful manner by the young actors of Natrang, Shivam Singh as ‘Naseem’, Mohit Koul as ‘Safdar’ and Meenakshi Bhagat as ‘Jameela’. The music of the play was scored by Gautam Kumar whereas, Ankush Lakhnotra executed the lights. The show was coordinated by Sumeet Sharma.
