A new play set in a mofussil town transformed into a film set tells the story of two junior artistes roped in on location

Rajit Kapur and Ajeet Singh Palawat
India's love affair with its films is the stuff of legend. We don't just watch movies, but buy tickets to be transported into a world where disbelief is suspended with pleasure. Yet, we also love to grab any opportunity that offers to make the reel world real with both hands. Aadyam's newest play, Mosambi Narangi is about a mofussil town near Varanasi that wakes up to find itself transformed into a film set.
Translated from the award-winning Irish play, Stones In His Pockets, by Ashok Mishra, it is told through the eyes of two starry-eyed residents who get roped in as extras in the film. The Rage production has been directed by Mohit Takalkar and features Rajit Kapur and Ajeet Singh Palawat playing the lead roles as well as all the other characters in the plot.
