The things get difficult for both of them when a lady called Suraiya enters the picture and claims the rented house to be hers. Both the men get confused and the thrill trip begins in the play. The laughter then ensues in the play when both try to convince Suriya for marriage without realizing that Suriya is a mystery woman. Another major scenario of the play was that the rented house was situated behind a cemetery about which nobody thought ever.
The audience burst out laughing as the play was beautifully carved with situational comedy. All the characters left a memorable impression over the audiences. The props, backdrop of the play and the poetic dialogues added zest in the presentation.
