JAMMU, Jan 27: Natrang featured a new comedy play ‘Hawa Hawai’ in its Sunday Theatre Series this week, here.
The play was directed by Sumeet Sharma and was based on a short play written by KM Mishra.
The play showcased those people in a very comic manner who get taken away by any news and do not use their own discretion whether it makes any sense or not.
‘Suresh’ is a middle-class man who is having a job which pays him just as much that he could meet his requirements only. Resultantly, he has become a dreamer and gets gratification in all those news which may fetch him some happiness (whether realistic or unrealistic). One day he looks at a news in paper that very soon aero-plane will be in the budget of a common man as scientists are making a two-seater aircraft which will be very economical. Exited by the news, he plans to dispose off his old scooter and seek some loan so that he could purchase the aircraft and raise his lifestyle, he even sees a dream with open eyes that he is flying in the air with his family and all the friends and relatives are jealous of him. He tells the same to his family and a close friend ‘Vinod’ and narrates the unique features of the plane and they get amused by his plans. But to the shock of everyone, when he reads the news till the end, it is revealed that it is just a planning and the aircraft will be ready in next 40 years. Finally he asserts that we should put our concentration on the important works and should not waste time in making castles in the air.
Pawan Verma as ‘Suresh’ was very apt in the timings of comedy and put the desired energy in the play. He was equally supported by the wonderful acting of Sumeet Sharma as ‘Vinod’, Sajra Qadir as ‘Shakuntla’ and Rhythm Mishar as ‘Munni’. Uplaksh Singh Kotwal designed and operated the Lights, while Music was operated by Mohd Yaseen.
