Jammu, Sept 9: Natrang today presented a new Hindi play 'Naye Mehmaan' in its Sunday theatre series.

This was very brilliantly portrayed by the playwright. Drenched in sweat, suffocated by the atmosphere, unable to muster the help of the neighbours during this tough time, couple discusses all the possible difficulties which they are facing in the peak of summers. Suddenly with the entry of unknown and uninvited guests, their worries got elevated manifolds.
The unknown guests, who claim to be very close, demand unparallel hospitality which is impossible for the hosts to offer. After getting bullied for some time, the couple asks for their proper identity and it was revealed that the guests have mistakenly entered into their home and they belong to some other hosts residing at a nearby lane. The situational comedy was very interestingly presented which tickled till the climax.
