Notably, for past 10 years this festival is being conducted and every time new plays are staged before the Bhopalites that receives a huge response. Moreover, Adi Vidrohi drama festival has created a sole identity on a national level and always endeavours not to repeat any script again. Further, for the past 10 years plays and scripts have not been repeated which is another unique feature of Adi Vidrohi.
