Last updated Aug 25, 2014

DR H CHATUREVDI , THE RENOUNED MANAGEMENT GURU AND DIRECTOR OF BIMTECH SHOWERED THE PRAISE ON THE DIRECTOR AND TEAM FOR AWESOME ENACTING OF THE PLAY , WHICH CREATED A LIFELONG IMPACT ON THE MINDS OF AUDIENCE..ESPECIALLY STUDENTS.

AMAR UJALA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SHRI CHATURVEDI ALSO ENJOYED THE PLAY ENACTED IN HARIYANAVI , PUNJABI , HINDI DIALECT. HE COMPLIMENTED THE ATUL SATYA KAUSHIK FOR INNOVATIVE ENACTING .PLAY IN HARYANA’S TRADITIONAL HOME, WHERE WOMEN ENACTED THE AGONY OF DRAUPADI ..IN AN FRIENDLY AND HOMELY ATMOSPHERE.Women realise nothing has changed for them in today’s world. Many tales of travails of life, injustice and exploitation will come alive during the play…WITHOUT MUCH PARAPHERNALIA ON THE STAGE…SIMPLICITY IS AT THE ROOT OF THE PLAY… FOLK SONGS AND DANCES ADDED FLAVOR TO THE PLAY . CLASSICAL MUSICAL BACKGROUND WAS VERY WELL IN SYNC WITH DIALOGUES AND SCENES.

YOUNG BOYS AND GIRL STUDENTS WHO ARE HERE TO LEARN MANAGEMENT LESSONS , TODAY LEARNT THE SELF AND FAMILY MANAGEMENT LESSONS FROM THE PLAY BASED ON EPIC – MAHABHARATA. PLAY TALKS MOSTLY ABOUT THE DIVISION OF LAND, …INCLUDING BETWEEN INDIA PAKISTAN…AND ALSO THE DIVISION OF HUMAN BODY AMONGST FIVE BROTHERS…AFTER THE DEFEAT..OF PANDAVAS..IN THE WAR..DRAUPADI’S ACTING WAS SUPERB…COSTUMES WERE TRADITIONAL HARYANA STYLE..This play talked about the helplessness of being a woman in a male-dominated world, which most women must have felt.

THE PLAY – IS IN GENERAL DISCUSSIONS MODE FOR QUITE SOME TIME . THE AUDIENCE NOT ACQUAINTED WITH HARIYANVI AND PUNJAB LANGUAGE WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PLAY. EXECUTIVE CLASS AUDIENCE COULD FIND THE PLAY – OLD WINE IN OLD BOTTLE.
