Somebody has rightly said, “A successful marriage is falling in love with your life partner again and again.” We all know that a good married life, is based on perfect understanding between the couple. However, in today’s stressful life, the young married couples are facing a tough situation, especially when each one needs space for self. This generally happens with working couples, living independently and without having a child. New Marathi play ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy‘ gives a timely message to such stressed married couples, for solving their issues in a harmonious way.

Written by Mihir Rajda and directed by Advait Dadarkar, this play presents the story of a young working couple Akshay and Pranoti Pradhan , who are both over-occupied with their respective work commitments, with no time even for their honeymoon. Both have differences over petty issues; but Pranoti feels that the reason for her stress is the annoying habits of her husband. They keep blaming each other. But, Chintan, a close Gujarathi friend of Akshay, always tries to keep them together. One day, they plan their delayed honeymoon; but their trip is required to be cancelled due to some gynecological problem faced by Pranoti. What happens further, is very intelligently presented through the crisp dialogues written by Mihir Rajda and efficient direction of Advait Dadarkar.

There are only three main characters in this play, but you don’t feel bored at any moment, as the interaction among them, keeps the audience engaged and entertained. Wonderful performances of both Umesh Kamat and Spruha Joshi are well supported by the small role of Chintan, played by Mihir Rajda himself.

Proper light effects by Amogh Phadke, apt background music by Sai-Piyush and perfect costumes designed by Chaitrali Dongre make this play more presentable.

No wonder, ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy‘ has won various awards at the recently concluded Maharashtra State awards. A must see play for all drama lovers.
