Kallu Nai MBBS!

Title: Kallu Nai MBBS
Group: Natsamrat
Genre: Comedy

This was the first play that I had seen here in Delhi. And it took some persuasion from pal Sahu ( one of my regular play partners) to get me going. But once I was inside the LTG auditorium , the soothing Kenny G music as the prelude made me forget all my apprehensions.

Coming from the stable of the Theater Group Natsamrat, "Kallu Nai MBBS" is a comedy which exhibits the twists and turns in the life of a barber who can barely make his ends meet and quarrels on a regular basis with his wife with the context being their inescapable poverty. Kallu tortures his wife and beats her every now and then out of frustration and despair.

Kallu's wife , encountered with an opportunity, decides to give her husband a taste of his own medicine when she manages to convince her husband to feign as a doctor and attempt to cure the daughter of an affluent dignitary with the bait of receiving a huge monetary reward in return. The enticed Kallu believes his wife and what follows at the bungalow of the dignitary is a hilarious sequence of events involving the father, the daughter, the housemaid and sundry other comical characters.

The daughter apparently has lost her voice as per father plans to marry her off to a musician with feminine characteristics. Despite his liitle knowledge of medicine, Kallu manages to bring out the fact to the fore that the daughter is feigning the disease as she is in love with someone else and does not want to lose her love at any cost.

The ending is happy as despite the thrashing that kallu receives from the rich guy, he manages to let two lovers meet culminating in their marriage.
