| Natrang stages Hindi play ‘Chakku’ | | | Early Times Report
Jammu , Feb 20
In its weekly theatre series, Sunday Theatre, Balwant Gargi’s famous play ‘Chakku’ was staged here today . The play was directed by Neeraj Kant who was successful in exploring the hidden and symbolic metaphors within the script which were well received by the audience.
The play opens at a sea shore where a young man is shown in a very disillusioned and frustrated state. He had come to Mumbai to become a hero but after a tiring struggle gets nothing, now afraid of what people will say if he goes back, he decides to end his life in the waves of the sea. When he was about to jump, an old lady stops him and motivates him to live, this sympathy generates a feeling of love in his heart for the lady who appeared double of his age. He asserts that he was never attracted to the young girls as they san experience and are very strange in their ways, and he longs for emotional and spiritual love which he may get from the lady of the ripe age only. On this statement the lady removed her false disguise as she was an actress and appeared before him as a beautiful young girl, which she actually was and admits that his non materialistic thoughts have kindered love for him in her heart, but to her surprise, he was turned off as soon as she unveiled her beauty and he starts negating her. As he was of the opinion that he will get only worldly love from a young girl, which was not his quest. The girl gets offended and leaves him to save her real lover who was annoyed to see her with that young man in a lonely beach. Frustrated, he tries to end his life again but this time he was saved by the mother of the same girl, who appeared exactly as her daughter when she was in the guise of an old lady. This time he was certain that this is the true love he was looking for. He proposes her, which she could not resist even knowingly that he is of the age of her son, as his words were so touching. But the moment she knows he had tried the same with her daughter, her heart was again turned to practicality and she along with her daughter scolded him badly. He was left there at the beach with the same dilemma from where the play had started.
Knife (Chakku), though hasn’t done any cutting or stabbing in the play, but was very beautifully used as a metaphor.
Rahul Singh as ‘Young Man’, Renu Sharma as ‘Actress’, Shifali Gupta as ‘Mother’ and Balwinder Singh as ‘Lover’ were all very impressive in putting the desired emotions in their respective characters. The music was scored by Sunil Bhardwaj. Lights were executed by Pawan Verma. Sumeet Sharma coordinated the show. Gaurav Jamwal did the presentations.
