Event Description

Mukhyamantri traces its origins to the 1976 novel of the same name by Chanakya Sen. The novel was masterfully adapted into a Hindi play by NSD stalwart Ranjit Kapoor. This highly popular play has been performed for 44 years, captivating audiences with its blend of wit and satire. Set in an atmosphere of swaying political loyalties, Mukhyamantri follows the protagonist, who is intent on retaining his position through the approaching elections. The pace of the play is like a flowing river – signifying the eternal continuance of the state of matters. Through a blend of physical comedy and clever situational humour, the play captures Kaushal`s efforts to outmanoeuvre rivals and maintain his grip on power. The stage is adorned predominantly in white, accentuating the play`s theme of political manoeuvring against a backdrop of stark simplicity.
