JAMMU, Jan 21: Natrang presented a super comedy play ‘Hangama Ho Gaya’ today in its weekly Sunday Theatre Series.
Written by Ashok Mishra, this hilarious comedy was directed by Neeraj Kant. Primarily an actors’ show, this situational comedy generated through the unexpected and highly improvised events, received repeated applauses and laughter.
The entire hilarious action opens at the residence of a wealthy man ‘Chaggu Mal’ who had advertised for a suitable match for his only daughter and he had organized an interview for the same.
Looking at the lucrative prospect, a huge crowd gathers at his gate and most of them had arrived because of sheer greed without even looking at their own eligibility of being the prospective groom for a girl of that much caliber. The situation becomes even more dramatic when a number of people add to the crowd without even knowing the purpose.
The heartbeat of ‘Chaggu Mal’ fastens as all of them were without any worth, every new person entering the interview room adds on to his tension and palpitation. The prospective grooms were also shown in a caricature manner where they had dramatic flaws which made audience laugh and create situation and unavoidable comedy in the play.
After a long and hard day, dealing with the meaningless and tiring interviews, ‘Chaggu Mal’ receives shocking news that the daughter for which he was looking a match and went through all this trouble, had already selected her life partner and informs him through a letter about her decision to marry him.
Natrang actors who performed in the play were Sachin Saini, Toyab Hussain, Shivam Singh, Zeeshan Haider, Manoj Kumar, Ajay Kumar, Bhisham Gupta, Shivam Sharma and Sushant Charak. Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant and the show was coordinated by Mohd Yaseen. Meenakshi Bhagat did the presentations.
