Pierrot’s Troupe presents
Ghalib In New Delhi (Hindi Comedy)
Celebrating Ten Years of Successful Run
Sept. 23 (Sun), 7:00 pm –Alliance Francaise, 72, Lodhi Estate, Near India Intrernational Centre Script and Direction: Dr. M. SAYEED ALAM
More than 10 years and 200 shows old. This sums up the story and success of Ghalib In New Delhi—– the most popular and the most critically acclaimed play of recent times.
Moreover, the play has also been billed as the most unrelenting play—being repeated, literally every weekend, on popular demand.
This rip-roaring comedy has the great erstwhile Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib revisiting his beloved ‘Dehli’, now ironically ‘Delhi’, in 2007 to witness his posthumous fame, something that was quite elusive in his lifetime.
The entire plot revolves around Ghalib striving against an omnipotent identity crisis, beginning with the occupants of his ‘Haveli’ mistaking him as Ghalib’s ‘Jinn’. This forces him to stay with a ‘Bihari’ boy, Jai Hind, a Delhi University student, in a servant quarter. His confidence is further shattered when Jai Hind and his landlady Mrs. Chaddha recognize his worth only through the voice of Jagjit Singh, and the screen portrayal of Naseeruddin Shah. Persuaded by the duo and in desperate need of recognition, Ghalib decides to ‘sell’ himself. The consequent press conference turns out to be a damp squib with the journalists being more interested in post-conference snacks and juicy headlines. Ghalib then opts for an advertising agency to perpetuate his presence in the minds of the people.
What is the fate of Ghalib? Does his rebirth spell further disaster? Is Delhi a mere travesty of his hopes and aspirations? The answer lies in watching Ghalib in New Delhi, a laugh riot posing some serious questions about the stagnating moral codes.
Remarks
The Times Of India- A delightfully irreverent script
The Hindu- A refreshing expose of life around us.
