JAMMU, Sept 30: Hindi play ‘Nakli Deewar’ was presented here today in Natrang’s weekly Theatre Show ‘Sunday Theatre’.
Nakli Deewar depicted the plight of a modern middle class family in a very effective manner.
The play started with the siblings Puneet and Gunjan who are alone in house because their parents Kamal and Indu are out for the evening ,Puneet is a rebellious kid who is not happy with the way things are going in his life, his relationship with his father is a not happy one and he shares these things with his sister, he tells her that he doesn’t like the fact that their parents are mostly out while both of them are left alone in the house and that he is really mad over the fact that he had to yearn for even a simple jacket from last two years while their parents have every fun.
Meanwhile Puneet starts smoking, Gunjan gets shocked when she sees Puneet smoking and tries him to leave this bad habit. It is revealed that Gunjan was undergoing treatment for a psychological condition called “alienation” and it turns out that evening their parents were out to visit their family doctor.
While at his clinic doctor holds responsible both Kamal and Indu, specially Kamal for the condition of Gunjan as she being closer to him. He comes home with them to visit Gunjan personally only to catch Puneet smoking. Seeing Puneet smoking Kamal gets really angry, but doctor considers talking to Puneet about it, he asks him reason for his smoking and Puneet tells the doctor that he started smoking because he heard from someone that it relieves mental pressure although he couldn’t experience anything like that.
The play ends with Gunjan, questioning as a girl suffering from “alienation” her ability to take responsibility of things in her life and life of others indicating in a satirical way the damage already done in society.
