Invited over facebook, I had the opportunity to witness the inauguration of 51st foundation day of Bihar Art Theatre at Kalidas Rangalaya, patna; the event being celebrated through a mini drama festival lasting five days.
However, although it was disappointing to see a very less number of audience, the acting capabilities of the theatrics and their zeal was worth cudos. Mr. Ajit Ganguly has spent his life for BAT, and it is hoped that one day, it wil gain the glamour of its glorious 70's and 80's.
The inaugural drama 'Bin Dulhan ki Shadi'( a marriage minus bride ) is a comical sattire, glorifying the importance of love and acceptance of cohabitation rather than dead rites and rituals.. Written by late Anil Kr Mukherji and directed by Subhash Krishna, the story in a nutshell is that a young guy is in love and his ex-army father comes to know of it.. He wants him to leave college and marry a girl of his choice. However, the son is adamant to marry his love, and thus, Mr Pralayankar puts a condition that, if Pranjal is able to marry within 24 hours, the marriage wil be accepted by him, else not..
Now, as the girl is not in the city, a solution is brought forward by Pranjal's partner-in-crime, Jhankaar, with the help of the girl's father, a crazy Prof. Paanch. Finally, a marriage is held in absence of the bride, and Mr. Pralayankar is convinced of the reality and the existence of the marriage, mathematically.
The setup of the drama was very convincing, and an assortment of alive expressions by promising young actors made it a delight for the audience.. Ajit Da was good as ever and Mrityunjay and Anupam gave a great show. Although a wide spectrum of improvising is there, and, the artists need to work out the linguo in order to familiarize with the audience.
Concluding, i would like to add,that the promising artist raise the hope that the future of BAT is bright and glamourous.
