Early Times Report

Jammu, April 22: On the 14th day of its ongoing Quarantine Theatre Festival, Natrang showcased ‘Bagia Bancha Ram Ki’ written by Manoj Mitra and directed by Adil Hussain (One of the finest theatre/bollywood actor of the Country) on its social media platforms. Giving his message through video conferencing from South Africa with the members of Natrang, Balwant Thakur, Director Natrang said today’s play reminds of the days when accomplished actor of the country Adil Hussain worked for months together in Natrang. Today he is one of the celebrated actors of Bollywood and International cinema. Natrang has been continuously showing its creative works to the global audiences and assured to continue this new tradition as long as possible during this phase of Social Distancing. Natrang is the only theatre group of the country which has volunteered to showcase its repertoire of theatre, thus providing a unique opportunity to the art connoisseurs.
The play ‘Bagia Bancha Ram Ki’ exposes the greed for acquiring the property of ancestors. It revolves round Banchha Ram’s garden and how his son and grandson became victim of this greed. The play starts with exposing that “Chhekauri’s Ghost” hangs around Banchha Ram’s garden. Naukauri who is chhekauri’s son frequently changes his strategy to acquire the garden. One of the plans was that Banchha Ram would be given a monthly salary by his grandson and this incentive would last till the 95-year-old man dies. To this Banchha Ram agrees and the grandson Naukauri thinks that the end would come soon and Naukauri would become the owner of the garden after Banchha Ram’s death. But Gopi, Banchha Ram’s grandson tries to persuade him to sell off the garden so that he can establish a country liquor shop. The ‘Gharellu Chor’ (thief) who solely depends on the earnings of stolen fruits of Banchha Ram’s garden also tries to convince Banchha not to sell off the garden to Naukauri. Gopi gets married to Padma. Padma, Gopi and the thief decide to look after the old man and keep him alive till padma gives birth to her child. Things take a different turn when the child is born who is great grandson of Banchha. Banchha regains strength and vigour and on the contrary Naukauri seeing a dramatic change feels disheartened. Naukauri suffers his first heart attack and dies while the old man is alive and the haunted ‘Bagia’ remains.
Prominent actors of Natrang featured in this play which included Anil Tickoo, Neeraj Kant, Sanjeev Gupta, Sumeet Sharma,Mohit Sharma, Rohit Verma, Deepak Virdhi, Pankaj Sharma and Kamaljeet Kaur On Thursday, 15th day of this online festival, Richard-III directed by Ashiesh Nijhawan would be featured
