EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Sep 25:Janta Pagal Ho Gayi Hai’ a new play in Hindi was staged here today at Natrang Studio Theatre in its weekly theatre series ‘Sunday Theatre’ under the direction of Neeraj Kant. The play has been written by Shiv Ram. The theme of the play is universal and timeless and would appear contemporary whenever it is staged.
The play reveals that whenever people revolt against oppression and raise voice for their rights, those in power say that Janta pagal ho gayi hai and snub them to fulfill their vested interests. The play brings to the fore the exploitation the general public has to face from politicians, bureaucrats, industrialists, etc. The characters in the play are very symbolic, they don’t have the names of their own, they have the names of the class they represent as ‘Sarkar’, ‘Police’, ‘Punjipati’, ‘Janta’ and ‘Pagal’. In the play, ‘Sarkar’ awakes from a long slumber of five years as this is the election time and people are to be coaxed for the votes. In this process of alluring, mesmerizing and even threatening, their instrument is those who are in power. Capitalists, its friends are also very supportive to it as it is also very helpful to them whenever they require. All this results in the everlasting exploitation of the masses and whosoever motivates the mob to revolt is considered ‘Mad’ and is treated like the same. At the end, people are helpless, they resolve to revolt till they die or till they get what they are supposed to get as their genuine right.
Those who acted in the play include Rahul Singh, Sajra Qadir, Mohammad Yaseen, Balwinder Singh, Abhinav Vimarsh, Uplaksh Singh, Shazia Batool, Syed Fardeen and Syed Dildar. The lights were operated by Neeraj Kant. The show was coordinated by Sumeet Sharma. Pawan Verma did the presentations.
