| Natrang stages new comedy ‘Poorav Aur Paschim’ | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 11- Hindi play- ‘Poorav Aur Paschim’- written by famous film comedian I.S. Johar and directed by Balwant Thakur was presented in Natrang’s weekly theatre series here today. This comedy play prompted everyone in the audience to respond to the comic situations with repeated laughter.
The play showcased the contrast of beliefs between the east and the west world. Lala Ram Bharose and his wife are highly superstitious and on the contrary their married son and daughters believe in the reasoning, logics and scientific way of leading the life. A firm believer of horoscopes, stars and numbers, Ram Bharose is always surrounded by the palmists, fortune tellers and priests. Confusion starts in the family when a horoscope reader based on a wrong information predicts the early death of Ram Bharose. He goes to the extent of telling him that his killer will come from the east side and will give him some substance of white color. In defensive Ram Bharose blocks all east entries to the house and start suspecting even his family members offering him anything in white. This behavior of his creates unhealthy environment in the family and life becomes hell for everyone.
Despite all efforts of convincing him with scientific reasons and logics, he is not ready to buy anyone’s arguments in the family. One after the other incident creates high tension and Ram Bharose goes to the extent of beating and thrashing his family members. This funny drama attains anti-climax when horoscope reader visits the family again apologizing for telling him the fortune of someone else as he was mistaken by assessing some other date of birth. Finally the fortune teller is treated with a big thrash by all the family members of Ram Bharose.
The lead role of Ram Bhrose was played by Rohit Verma with full artistic maturity. Mohit Sharma as Pandit was equally good in creating intense theatrical acts on stage. Both were supported by Rajami Bhatti, Sona Mehar, and Rahul Singh with highly justifiable acting. The lights were designed and executed by Pankush Verma and Mohammed Yasin coordinated the show.
