JAMMU, Nov 10: Natrang today presented Hindi play ‘Zameen Ka Sawal’ in its Weekly Theatre Series, today. The play has been written by Partap Sehgal and directed by Neeraj Kant. A hard hitting satire on the socio-political situation of the country touched the hearts of the audience.
The play opens in a trial room where a high level committee is enquiring about a very grim incident, where five people at different locations were killed by sending letter-bombs. ‘Ranganathan’ a very senior scientist is accused of the crime as all the evidence were against him. Initially he does not admit the crime but when given a false news that his only son is also killed in the same manner, he breaks and with a deep agony in the heart and admits his crime which he had committed to take revenge from all those who were responsible for hurdles in his growth and promotion.
Despite being the most talented and deserving scientist, he was denied a due promotion as it was granted to someone else who was close to the Minister. This renders a harsh frustration in his mind and he asserts that only hard work and ability will take you nowhere in this system, where corruption and favoritism are deep-rooted. The play very brilliantly says that those who do not have approach and recommendation may not be given higher positions but it does not mean that they are not talented enough.
The artists who performed in the play included Uplaksh Singh Kotwal, Ashwani Bali, Shivam Manhas, Sachin Saini, Mahikshit Singh Sambyal, Masood Qadir, Rishiv Prabhakar and Pankaj Verma. Lights were designed and operated by Neeraj Kant. Music was scored by Mohd Yaseen while Sumeet Sharma coordinated the show and also did the presentations.
