"Begum ka Takia" play by Mr. Ranjit Kapoor during Summer Theatre Festival 2011 @ National School of Drama, Delhi, INDIA

Here is PHOTO JOURNEY through "BEGUM KA TAKIA" play of Summer Theatre Festival 2011 @ National School of Drama, Delhi... 


This was third time I watched this play and it's always interesting to see it again n again... 


This time all the shows were in Kamani while last year a very good setup was installed in NSD ground which had appropriate placement of all the things and it was very convenient to enjoy to the play in better way !!!




Some of the characters of this play are simply awesome and no words to explain the dialog delivery.




Here is one of the shot when Begum is talking to Meera on the site where haveli is being built !!!




Some discussions between two brothers - Peera and Meera (Saudagar Ameer Ali :) )



Begum ka Takia is the tale of two brothers who share the same blood, the same bread and the same roof. But wealth and women create a chasm between them.


Blood turns to water and bread to dust and ashes.


Greed, desire, Karma and Non-Karma are locked  in a tussle. The invisible weaves the webs of prearranged desinies while mortals struggle on with their dreams and ambitions. 


The intricate and absorbing patterns of the vicissitudes of the life are unraveled by Faqir Darya Shah and their reality revealed to us through the eyes of his disciple, Qtra Shah.


The located of the this story is set in a small village of masons and bricklayers. This is the story of their lives as told by them.

"PEER SHAH MANEIN TO PARESHANI HAI - these words of Dariya Baba have always been a source of great strenght to me, and I will continue to live by them even now."

"It is a my desire that whatever time I have left in this world should be spent practicing theatre. This, I believe is where my redemption lies."


"Mero man anat kahan sukh pave,

Like a Bird on a ship, no matter where it flies, it will return to the ship"
