Kumar Sohoni has always dealt with different subjects on human relations. Through all his 51 plays directed so far, he has offered ample talents to Marathi theatre. This time, through his play ‘Tya Tighanchi Goshta’ , he has explored the relationship between a separated couple Dinanath and Suman Daftardar ( Sharad Ponkshe & Ashwini Ekbote) . How it has the effect on their grown up 19 year old daughter Deepti ( Dnyanada Panase) is shown very cleverly by the director. The play is written by well known psychiatrist and writer Dr.Anand Nadkarni, which makes it more interesting subject, as he has very skillfully presented the emotional sides of each one of these three important characters.
Produced by Ashok Narkar and Sharad Bagwe, the play begins with the close bonding shown between mother (who is a college professor) and her daughter, who is studying in the final year, at the same college. The father, an IAS officer, who has separated from his wife and daughter, 15 years ago, is now Municipal Commissioner of the same city, where Mother and daughter are residing. Though Mother and daughter are not connected with Mr. Dinanath Daftardar, they are in touch with his close associates Nana his personal secretary and Mangesh, his old classmate and Journalist friend.
One fine day, Nana visits Ms. Daftardar to invite her for the felicitation function of her husband, who is to be honoured by the chief Minister of state. This is followed by a personal phone call and personal visit of Dinanath Daftardar to meet his wife and grown up daughter. Having heard about her father, through her mother, Deepti is initially reluctant to meet her father; but, later decides to face him, to know the reason from him, for deserting his wife and her. But, it is the mother, being very possessive about her daughter, becomes more worried, thinking that her grown up daughter would change her opinion about her father, after meeting him.
At this stage, the writer and the director are clearly noticed, with their competence to take forward this delicate emotion filled subject, with interesting happenings . In the climax scene, Deepti converses with the audience, seeking their opinion, on what she did, was ‘right’ or ‘wrong’. ‘Tya Tighanchi Goshta’ presents the most relevant subject timely, to convey a strong message to the society. And, it has succeeded in creating a strong impact on all age groups. The story presented through this play, does not take side of any one of the characters, but very cleverly presents their attitude, with passage of time.
Both Sharad Ponkshe and Ashwini Ekbote, have portrayed their characters with complete understanding of the situation, at every stage in this play. They have proved that they are versatile artistes. They find good support from the character artistes Jayant Ghate and Vivek Joshi. But, the girl who steals the show, is young Dnyanada Panase. She seems to be a perfect choice of the director. And, she has proved his selection right. In fact, she has given a brilliant performance in the role of Deepti. Watch her reaction and body language, in every important scene, be it with mother or father; which goes on to say a lot about her gifted talent. She is so flawless. Good background music and suitable light and set designing, are the other plus points of this play. Certainly a worth watch, for the entire family.

Even otherwise, Star Pravah is gearing up to face the competition, with the arrival of ETV’s new Colourful look; with the introduction of two new serials ‘Priti Pari Tujavari’ and ‘Tu Jivala Guntavave’. But, that’s not enough. Though their two serials ‘Lakshay’ and ‘Jayostute’ are doing well, they have to think something big, instead of continuing with the outdated subjects.
