JAMMU, Feb 9: Despite being busy in presenting mega shows like ‘Rangla Jammu’ and ‘Ghumayee’ last week in 101st Science Congress at The University of Jammu, Natrang continued the tradition of its Sunday Theatre series which has entered in its 10th year with the presentation of ‘Sabse Bada Aadmi’, a play in Hindi at its Studio Theatre, Kachi Chawni.
The highly acclaimed play has been written by Bhagwati Charan Verma and Directed by Neeraj Kant. The intellectual content of the play was interesting and enlightening as well.
The play opens at a restaurant where different people have gathered to have tea. They have their own opinions about their role models and also have their strong submissions that who is the biggest person of the world. Where one person has a firm view that ‘Napoleon’ was the strongest and no doubt the biggest man of the world the other person contradicts that It was ‘Shelly’ who was much above the others as he gave the world a new dimension by his poetry. Suddenly they both were contradicted by another person for whom the only biggest person in the world is ‘Mahatma Gandhi’ who has enlightened the world by his ideology of peace and non-violence. But yet another person was the staunch follower of’ Lenin’ who rejects the supremacy of anyone but just his hero. Their debate soon takes the shape of the altercation, a little less than fight but a new person enters the restaurant and diffuses the situation. He was with everyone yet with no one. He praised all the discussed legends differently without offending the critics. He spoke very well but the discussion reached nowhere. At last he announces that indeed he is the biggest man of the world which all of them will agree once he leaves. Everyone mocks at him for his self praise and he leaves unnoticed but to the surprise of all, that person was a crook who had cut the pockets of all and made them look stupid in their own eyes.
The actors who performed in the play included Mohd. Yaseen, Ashwani Bali, Uplaksh Singh Kotwal, Susheel Raina, Mahikshit Singh Langeh, Syed Mudassar Ali Shah, Pankaj Verma and Namit Dubey. Neeraj Kant rendered the lights and the music was scored by Mahikshit Singh Sambyal. Sumeet Sharma presented the show before the audience and also coordinated the show.
