A comedy by Saurabh Shukla - These five words should say it
all if you know the genius of Shukla. Nevertheless, it is worth writing a few
lines about this play in Two Acts which was staged at the Turf Club, Pune,
India on 21 Sept 2013.
Middle-aged Parminder Sethi wants to have an affair, and so
three women come into his life. The three women are quite interesting and quite
different from each other. The rendezvous is Sethi's mother's house in her absence. Unfortunately, the much needed affair never happens, but in the
process of trying to have one, a lot of other things happen.
The comedy deserves mention because of its witty dialogue,
perfect comic timing, great acting and thought provoking premise. Saurabh
Shukla, Achint Kaur, Sadia Siddiqui and Preiti Mamgain have showcased their
acting skills, no doubt. Also the country music playing in the background was
well selected keeping in mind the perky name of the play.
I only wish the venue was a better one (a real auditorium, I
mean). At times I had to crane my neck or twist my body to catch a glimpse of
what was happening on stage, as two very tall people sat right in my line of
vision!!
