All eyes are set on 8th November, when Natak Company will present their timely sensational play , ‘Geli Ekvis Varsha…’ (In The Last 21 years…). The inaugural show is scheduled on this day in Pune’s Bharat Natya Mandir at 9.30 pm. The play with its stimulating theme talks about the thoughts occurring in the minds of today’s 21 year olds, who are subjected to various types of pressures and challenges, in the existing conditions in our so called independent India.

‘Geli Ekvis Varsha’ has presented the story of a youngster, who finally goes to a reality show which is there to create an extremist, terrorist young force… The play would make the audience think seriously about the prevailing situation and its impact on the young minds. It would raise the following issues:
What exactly happened to those young parents, involved in liberil, leitist, socialist movements during and after the 1975 Emergency? What happened to the concept of a free, secular, liberal and ideal nation ? Where are the values and ethics which are to be carried forward from previous generation of freedom fighters? What exactly went wrong during this period of 21 years ? This is what the play has to convey through its forceful theme.

‘Geli Ekvis Varsha’ is written by Dharmakirti Sumant and directed by Aalok Rajwade. The background music is provided by Gandhaar Sangoram, while the sets and lights are designed by Hrishikesh Nagaonkar and Suresh Bhadkamkar respectively. The cast of the film comprises of Amey Wagh, Siddharth Menon, Sayalee Phatak, Manali Bibikar, Vishwajeet Kadam, Ruturaj Shinde, Gautam Reddi, Vikram Sane, Amol Gokhale and Shardul Kadam.
