Money change many things, even behaviour of children towards their widowed mother.
The story is about Phoolmati, a woman who has just lost her husband, Pandit Ayodhyanath and traces deterioration of her relationship with her four sons Kamtanath, Umanath, Dayanath and Sitanath. After their father’s death all four sons started to show their real colours. They changed even faster than the chameleon.
The play was beautifully presented leaving the audience enthralled.
