JAMMU, Feb 2: The theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Urdu play ‘Aab E Hayaat’ directed by Neeraj Kant.
Based on the story of legendary writer Munshi Prem Chand, the play opens at a very mysterious and weird laboratory of one ‘Dr. Ghosh’ who is famous for his out of box inventions. He is shown very excited as he is going to do the biggest experiment of his life today and for this, he has invited four elderly people at his place who would volunteer to get the experiment done on them. All the four elderly people ‘Lala Kirorimal’, ‘Vikram Singh’, ‘Daya Ram’ and ‘Chanchal Kunwar’ have their pasts well linked to each other though they had committed many sins in their life but are fed up with the effect of age to their bodies and to their surprise, Dr. Ghosh tells them that he has got some wonder water which can reverse the effect of age and can make them young once again. What else they could dream of, but Dr. Ghosh puts one condition that they can drink as much water and can become as young as they want to but they have to promise that they will not commit all those sins and mistakes which they have done in their youth, to which they readily agreed.
A miracle happened, after drinking the wonder water and they all turned young but forgot their promise and again started their usual malpractices and even ridiculed ‘Dr. Ghosh’. But to their surprise and dismay, the wonder water was just an intoxication whose effect lasts as fast as it captures the senses. Though the mirage ends and they all become old once again justifying Doctor’s experiment that we don’t leave our instincts no matter how much promises we make.
Actors who acted in the play were Gopi Sharma, Kuldeep Angral, Mihir Gujral, Brijesh Avtar Sharma and Kananpreet Kaur.
The lights were operated by Neeraj Kant and the sound was looked after by Sushant Singh Charak. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen and the presentations were done by Lovely Sharma.
