The world is still cruel with women as the superstitious beliefs still exist in the society. Showcasing all those orthodox traditions, a play ‘Madhur Milan’ was staged on Thursday.
Directed by Barnali Majumdar, the play was performed at Shaheed Bhavan Auditorium. It was wonderfully presented by the artists of Reflection Society of Performing Arts and Culture, Bhopal.
Set in British India, when no evil like child marriage and prostitution was taken as a social evil, the play talked about the status of women. The play surrounds the life of various characters, it also highlighted the organisations that worked against these social evils.Devi Dayal has lost all his wealth and now has become a poor person. He do not even have a single penny with which he can buy bread for his family. His family members included his wife laxmi, his sister Binda who was a prey of child marriage and his son
Madan.
Devi Dayal thought of a solution and goes to landlord Basant. He asks him to lend him Rs 50 and in trun Basant asks him to get him Baijnath’s daughter. When Devi refuses, Basant conspires to kidnap Devi’s sister Binda.When he abducts Binda, she manages to escape but falls in the trap of a fake saint who sells her into prostitution. luckily, Binda manages to get out from there too and get in touch with an organization who works against such evils.
Binda finds herself attracted to the group’s leader Kanhaiya. But, Kanhaiya does not reciprocate as he was married in his childhood. later, both realize that they were married to each other.
After various tough situations, even Basant realizes his mistake. The play was presented beautifully and gave away an impactful message to the society.
