Baaghi Albele

Synopsis

Directed by Atul Kumar, Baaghi Albele (being premiered in Bengaluru), is a timeless and profoundly resonant masterpiece that pairs comic absurdity with grim reality. Atul Kumar, a name to reckon with in theatre and films, has crafted this play in the backdrop of Indian bans, censorships and general crackdowns on comedians, journalists, writers and artists, all of whom are seen to participate in this comedy. A must-watch… the play will first punch you in the gut, then leave you shedding tears… of laughter.

Johnny & Minnie Makhija, husband and wife, are famous actors from a renowned theatre company in Ludhiana. During a performance of Hamlet, a young and handsome soldier of an underground rebel organization leaves just as Johnny begins the soliloquy, “To be or not to be”. Johnny is outraged. Johnny would be even more outraged if he knew that Sukhi visited Minnie Makhija in her dressing room. A short time later, following the prohibition orders of the government, all performances are stopped, theatres are closed, and artists are hunted to be prosecuted or killed if they, even as much as smelled of, dissent or revolt. Johnny & Minnie’s theatre is ransacked, and they are forced to hide underground. The plot becomes complex as Johnny tries to impersonate and explores an escape for the group.
