Natrang presented a new hindi comedy play ‘Purvabhyaas’ 8/17/2025 11:06:22 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Aug 17: In its endeavours to come up with a theatre production every Sunday, Natrang presented a new hindi comedy play ‘Purvabhyaas’ written by Om Prakash and directed by Neeraj Kant in its weekly theatre Sunday Theatre. “Purvabhyaas” is a satirical stage comedy that unfolds in a small town where two self-proclaimed healers, an overconfident Hakim and a flamboyant hypnosis professor are fierce rivals. The Hakim swears by his miraculous “Amar Bhaskar” powder, prescribing it to everyone from a nervous middle-aged woman to a farmer whose cow refuses to eat grass and give milk. Meanwhile, the professor uses dramatic mind-control sessions, urging patients to imagine wild forests, lions and elephants, only to leave them more terrified than before. Their competitive worlds collide when both are summoned to treat a young boy who has mysteriously fainted at home. Instead of curing him, they plunge into a ridiculous battle of words, each trying to prove their own superiority. The parents watch in dismay as their “doctors” descend into a physical scuffle. Suddenly, the boy springs up and reveals the truth, he’s perfectly healthy and was merely rehearsing for a play with the “Natrang” theatre group, where he must lie still on stage for two hours. The truth makes both the Hakim and the Professor look foolish, showing how blind faith and big egos can mislead people. With lively dialogues, funny situations and light-hearted humour, Purvabhyaas becomes an entertaining yet meaningful play on quackery, human weakness and how easily we can be made to laugh at ourselves. Today’s play was decorated with the participation of Pawan Verma (Recipient of J&K State Award and National Fellowship from Ministry of Culture) who performed brilliantly. Others who have significant performances included Aryan Sharma, Nisha Suri, Kushal Bhat, Kartik Kumar, Krishay Bhatia and Mehak Sharma The lights of the play were executed by Neeraj Kant and the show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
