Dealing with irregularities in judicial system of the country, a Hindi play leela Nandlal Ki was staged at Shaheed Bhawan auditorium on Tuesday.
It is satirical play based on the story of well-known Hindi author Bhishm Sahni. Directed and adaptation by Gopal Dubey, the play was presented by Bhoomika Theatre Group, Bhopal.
It is saga of protagonist Murari who belongs to lower middle class family. He is clerk in Government office.
Being a service class man each and every small thing meant a lot for him. One day he went to freak out with friends and his two-wheeler was stolen from the venue. After a long search for the scooter, Murari was helpless and he thought to ask help from the police so he registered a report in police station.
He was blamed by his family for the situation that he was facing. His uncle and father suggest him to go insurance company and police station regularly. He got the insurance money from insurance company but police were unable to find the scooter.
Six months later, someone informs him that a man named Dayaram is having his scooter. Dayaram is a big very goon and vehicle thief. So, Murari goes to him and claims for his scooter. But Dayaram denies and says that the two-wheeler he is looking for is not the one he claims. But, Murari does not lose hope and reopens the case.
Years went by and Murari was growing old but still didn’t lose hope and fought the case. Still he did not receive justice as Dayaram was never proved as the thief before the court.
Sets, costumes, light and music were used as per the mood of play.
“It is fifth show of this play. The genre of this play is serious but we added situational comedy to make it more impactful,” said Dubey, director of play.
