It is true that love knows no boundaries of age, colour or even money. The play Daroga Ji Chori Ho Gai marks the journey of a young man who becomes a thief to fulfil his girlfriend’s demands.
The Hindi play was performed at Madhya Pradesh State Tribal Museum here on Friday. It was performed under the regular series of dramas being organised at the tribal museum ‘Abhinayan’.
The play being a comedy-drama genre deals with one of the most dangerous social evil of the society. The play was directed by Ravi Arjun and was brilliantly staged by the artists of Krisnadaam Education and Social Welfare Society, Bhopal.
This play, Daroga ji chori ho gai, not only highlights the problems like unemployment and the corruption, but the play also highlighted about the section of the society that uses the public service for their benefit.
While talking about the play, director Ravi Arjun said, “The play raises questions on the social evils that are eating up the society. On one hand it talks about self respect and self realisation and on the other hand it exposes the ill effects of greediness.” It is a satire on the society, he added.
The play follows the life of a young educated boy who tries to fulfill his girlfriend’s demands. In order to do this, he becomes a thief steals money from Babu Sharma’s house. After the theft, Babu Sharma files a case against the young boy and exaggerates the scene at the police station.
The boy was an honest person and he surrenders before the police explaining the entire truth. After seeing his honesty, the police man explains him not to do it again.
