JAMMU, June 8: Natrang today presented a hilarious play ‘Lottery Ka Ticket’ written by Showkat Thanvi and directed by Neeraj Kant, in its Sunday Theatre Series.
The play revolves around the story of one ‘Munshi Ji’ who buys a lottery ticket and is consumed by the idea of winning it. He is over optimistic rather obsessed with the idea of winning the money. He plans how he would utilize the cash that he gets after winning the lottery. He also resigns from his job as he thinks that he is going to be rich and does not need a mundane job to feed his family anymore.
His wife and brother on the other hand are apprehensive about all this. They try to warn him about his doings but seeing his enthusiasm they are also pulled in the fantasy Munshi Ji is living in. The play gives a relative picture of a middle class family that hopes and relies on the concept of ‘Easy money’ and the idea of becoming rich overnight.
These hopes are scattered when the true reality bites in. The play also tells us about the harrowing distress that lack of money or material wealth can have on a family. The play ends with a hilarious note when Munshi Ji’s sister-in-law dies but he is still obsessed with the idea of getting the lottery.
Varun Sharma played the role of Munshi Ji, Namit Dubey role of Salim, Vanshika Gupta role of Begum, Gopi Sharma role of Nasim while the role of the Thekedaar was played by Syed Muddasar Ali Shah.
The lights and music was executed by Neeraj Kant. The presentation was done by Susheel Raina and the show was coordinated by Sumeet Sharma and Mohd Yaseen.
