WE LEARN SELF AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT LESSONS FROM THE PLAY. IT WAS A CLASSROOM ON A STAGE FOR US. STUDENTS APPRECIATED THE CHOICE OF THE PLAY BY THE BIMTECH MANAGEMENT.

TILL THE FAG END OF THE PLAY I COULD NOT POINT OUT THAT THE ROLES OF RAM KALI AND RAM LAL IS BEING PLAYED BY HER. I THINK ACTING IS IN HER BLOOD , IT IS HER PASSION , SO SHE HAS MOST BRIGHT FUTURE IN ACTING.

YES…THE BEST PART OF THE PLAY WAS ACTING BY SHILPI MARWAH – YOUNG , MOST VIBRANT , TALENTED ACTOR RENDERED SUPERB DIALOGUES , PLAYED DOUBLE ROLE OF RAM LAL AND RAM KALI. BOTH ROLES ARE RATHER FOR OPPOSITE LIFE PURPOSES. SHILPI’S DANCE STEPS, MOVEMENTS, FACIAL REACTIONS DREW HUGE APPLAUSE FROM THE AUGUST AUDIENCE MANY TIMES.

BIMTECH’S TALENTED STUDENTS TRADING HOT AND HUMID WEATHER ENJOYED THE PLAY , SONGS, DIALOGUES AND AT THE TOP OF ALL AWFUL PERFORMANCE BY SHILPI. STUDENTS COMMENTED THAT THERE WAS LOT TO LEARN FROM THE PLAY AND HER ACTING. IT NEEDS LOT OF PHYSICAL STAMINA , TALENT , MENTAL ALERTNESS, EMOTIONAL BALANCE TO ENACT THE PLAY. WE LEARN SELF ,AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT LESSONS FROM THE PLAY. STUDENTS APPRECIATED THE CHOICE OF THE PLAY BY THE BIMTECH MANAGEMENT.

THE BEST PART OF HER ACTING WAS HER DANCE …WHEN …SHE REALIZED THAT SHE IS GOING TO BE A MOTHER FROM A ILLICIT RELATIONSHIP …AND IN DEPRESSION …SHE GOES MAD ..AND DANCES..

THE PLAY REVOLVES AROUND A YOUNG SOCIAL CUM SEX WORKER’S LIFE AND CHALLENGES FACED BY HER .. IT GIVES MESSAGE TO EACH ONE..TO FIND SEA WITHIN US..

THE PLAY HAS MANY CHORUS , WITH BIT OF MUSIC, MOSTLY CLAPPING RHYTHM..

COSTUME IS VERY SIMPLE , SUITED FOR THE SLUM LIFE SCENES ..

ALMOST ALL THE ACTORS CHOSEN WERE PASSIONATE ABOUT ACTING , MOST OF THEM ARE COMING FROM HUMBLE BACKGROUND AND FREELANCERS

THE DIRECTOR ARVIND GAUR WHO IS MASTER OF ALL DIRECTION , LIGHT , SOUND  TRACK ..A DOWN TO EARTH PERSON WITH A GREAT IDEA OF CHANGING THE WORLD , BUT BY  BEGINNING WITH SELF .

A MUST WATCH PLAY FOR THOSE WHO WANTS CHANGE SELF , AND THE WORLD. ESPECIALLY  FOR YOUNG GIRLS WHO HAVE DREAMS TO ACHIEVE.
