JAMMU, July 28: ‘Jaalidaar Parde’, a play written by Habib Tanveer and directed by Neeraj Kant, was presented here today at Natrang Studio Theatre in Natrang Sunday Theatre Series.
The play opens in an Army Camp where two army officials ‘Vijay’ and ‘Ram’ are doing rehearsal of a play as they do dramatics for recreation. Ram, who is unmarried, has the opinion that the company of women derails the focus as they would force you to live life in their way but his colleague Vijay, who is married, differs from him as he believes that women bring stability and a new dimension to life. To the surprise of both, Vijay’s wife ‘Rupa’ arrives there without intimation as she wanted to give surprise to her husband. Vijay is very happy to find Rupa there but Ram is not glad at all as he is afraid that now they will have to live according to her. He tries his best to make her go back as early as possible but all in vein. Soon after observing that the presence of women was not that distractive as he was thinking, he changes his mind and complements Vijay for having such a loving and caring wife and also reveals his wish to get married provided he finds a good girl like Rupa or probably her younger sister.
Natrang’s young artists who performed in the play included Mohit Sharma as ‘Vijay’, Rahul Singh as ‘Ram’ and Sajra Qadir as ‘Rupa’. Uplaksh Singh Kotwal operated the Lights and Neeraj Kant scored the music. Sets were designed by Sushil Raina and Mohd Yaseen. The show was coordinated by Sumeet Sharma. Ashwani Bali did the presentations.
