RAJOURI NOVEMBER 30:–Rangmanch Theatre Group (RTG) Rajouri staged a play Baday Bhaai Saahib’ at the Late S Pritam Singh Oberoi National Drama festival at the Kalidas Auditorium NZCC Patiala ( Punjab).
Besides Director Rangmanch Theatre Group, Vishal Pahari was conferred with Sardar Pritam Singh Oberoi award for his contribution in the field of theatre.
The short story (play) is written by the legendary writer of the history Munshi Premchand and has been directed by Vishal Pahari which is a witty and hilarious but very touching & riveting theatre adaptation of the legendary writer.
Bade Bhai Sahaab is a light hearted story of two brothers with the elder one always scolding the younger for not giving time to education. The story touches on that relationship called brotherhood which often gets downplayed in today’s time.
The play depicts the story of two brothers who were studying in the town and living in the hostel and the elder one was weak in studies, morally very strong but the younger one was quite sharp in studies and would take part in sports and other curricular activities.
The elder one would not take part in any activity and would keep on studying for the most part of the time, but it took him many years to pass the eighth standard.
This play depicts that even the people who had never been to school face the hardships of life better than many literate people.
The play is focused on the role of an elder brother in one’s life. Should he be seen as a friend or guide? Can the advantage of a greater number of years alone justify his claims of respect?
The play is directed by the founder of Rangmanch theatre group, a seasoned campaigner Vishal Pahari.
Amit Singh Barwal & Vikrant Verma have played the character of elder brother & younger brother with great authority while Ashfaq Shahzeeb managed the light and music.
