| Natrang stages play "Jhootha Khwaab" | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 1: Natrang today presented a hilarious performance of an Urdu comedy play, 'Jhootha Khwaab'. The play has been written by Shoukat Thanvi and directed by Neeraj Kant.
A very well conceived and structured play carried candid instances of comedy in its content, which was appreciated by the audience of different age groups.
The play opens with a scene showing 'Jhumman Miya' in his room screaming and trembling with fear after waking up from a bad dream. In his dream, his father and grandfather visited him and predicted that he is to die that very day at four in the morning and join his forefathers in heaven. Jhumman Miya believes his dream to be true and so his death prediction because according to him his father and grandfather would never lie to him. He checks the time and realises that he has only two hours left with him before the clock strikes four.
He calls everyone present at home, his wife and servants and narrates the unfortunate incident. Rather than worrying about dying and leaving his family behind he is more concerned about settling the financial matters. He doesn't want to waste the little time he has on earth and hurriedly updates his wife about all his financial transactions and how much money he still has to recover from people and gives a stern direction that she shall not let a single penny unrecovered from the people after he leaves this world to which she replies that there would be no fun of collecting the money if he is not with her and prays that this dream to not come true and prove to be a false prophecy.
During all this discussion, the clock strikes four, Jhumman Miya thinks he is dead according to the prophecy and goes off to sleep. His shock and grief-stricken wife starts wailing and crying so loudly that even their neighbours arrive to mourn his untimely death. Awhile later he wakes up realising that he isn't dead as he thought he was and that it was indeed a false dream. It is a rib-tickling comedy and through the character of Jhumman Miya, it satirizes the money mindedness and materialistic nature of people.
Natrang young artists who presented a wonderful performance included Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Aarti Devi, Gopi Sharma, Chirag Anand, Akshit Kaul and Kuldeep Angral. The lights of the play were designed and executed by Neeraj Kant whereas music was scored by Saanvi Anand. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen and the presentations were done by Priyanka Pandita. |
