Synopsis
'Jungle Mein Khulne Waali Khidaki' raises questions about the growing culture of rat racism, material comfort and hypocrisy
Written in 1981, the play rises relevant questions even today... Do we ever think about the tribal who gets displaced from his home because a brute capitalist looks at it as a profitable mining business? Have we ever bothered to worry about the man on the street that sleeps hungry every day? Is the displaced farmer in Nandigram anywhere a part of our thoughts?
What happens when a bored housewife, a filthy rich industrialist husband and a young idealist boy spend a night together?
Written by Jitendra Bhatia, 'Jungle Mein Khulne Waali Khidaki' raises questions about the growing culture of rat racism, material comfort and hypocrisy
On the surface packed with suspense, status war, sexual tension and thrill the play however is a social drama. It's a simple story of a married couple coming to their bungalow in Khandala to spend a weekend. An unexpected guest who joins them surprises them. He is initially taken with a pinch of salt, however later the husband in his zest to enjoy the weekend makes him play cards, drink scotch whiskey and makes fun of him. There is also constant physical attraction between the wife and the boy. In a lost card game when the husband wants the boy to put his cherished knife on bait, something dramatic happens...
