“The play ends, with a note that stirs one’s thought-process, making
the viewers recollect various instances which were similar
to the play. With the correct lighting to match scenes, dialogues that are in hindi as well as english which reach out to multi-lingual audience and also songs to match the emotions, the play did its purpose.”- Indian express

AUDIENCE REVIEWS

“…..and it was a really fun evening, and the young audience really went for it and there was a great sense of camaraderie in the hall! Also would like to mention that the production values were excellent. The actors are all very well versed in theatre forms such as mime and movements; even when the audience worked out the play, they had no difficulty in producing a stage-worthy denouement, which even raised a few more laughs.” – Audience>>read full review
