Early Times Report

Jammu, Mar 21: Balwant Thakur’s Hindi play ‘JAAL’ staged here today at three places of Jammu city viz. Deewan-E-Aam, Mubarakh Mandi, Rani Park and Nagrota Park under the direction of Neeraj Kant. In a very effective manner this powerful play innovatively showcases as how the Drug-menace is ruining the generations like a rapid fire, crippling the developing nations like India. The youth of the country, the largest energetic and productive human resource of the country, sometimes unknowingly slip into the trap of drug menace. The play was showcased in connection with Nukkad Theatre Festival organised by J&K Academy of Art, Culture and Languages.
The play was not based on one story-line but as an experiment Balwant Thakur has woven multiple stories in one theme focusing the spread of drug menace like a mesh, this taking the toll of the strongest workforce of the country. In a sequence a young boy is shown struggling for a good company after his passing of the school and entry in the college. He is isolated for not being the consumer of intoxications. All around him treat him like a child which really frustrates him and to prove that he has grown-up as a young man now, he finds the easiest way and demonstrates his coming of age by consuming a variety of intoxications. In another sequence a rural inhabitation particularly the men-folk is shown drowned in the menace of alcohol. All the miseries of the village like poverty, domestic violence, and ailments are attributed to the constant growth of consumption of alcohol in the village. In a sequence the daily routine of a villager is shown who consumes the whole of his daily earnings seeking alcohol. Being drunk completely he has looses his way home. By the time a local escorts him to his place where in the middle of the night this drunken man starts beating his sleeping wife and kids for not receiving him on his arrival. When the escort intervenes to save the poor lady and children, he is blamed for having ill intentions towards his wife. This fight further messes up when a drunken man after losing senses damages his household belongings as well. The play unfolds a series of incidents where people influenced by drugs, alcohol and other intoxications create hell for themselves as well as for others. Many precious lives are being charred in this fire of drug menace which is to be fought unitedly to bring them out of the mesh of drugs menace. Through this play Balwant Thakur has tried to make an appeal to save mankind from this dragon.
Actors who outshined in their respective performances and left an impact of their acting included Neeraj Kant, Mahikshit Singh, Aadesh Dhar, Kananpreet Kaur, Gopi Sharma, Sheryaar Salaria, Mihir Gujral, Amit Brahmi and Sumit Bandaral. The shows were coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen, Abhimanyu Choudhary and Palshin Dutta.
