Adventure Kaare Koe

A nice play by Aneek which can keep you seated smiling but not laughing for two hours. Though meant for comedy but certain comments and remarks send some valuable messages to the audience. The distinguishing feature of the play is the clever use of stage light to emphasize the effects of the various dialogues.
The story centres Bipradasbabu, a wealthy but miserly person who is planning to get remarried and so plans to meet his fiance at Calcutta. But problem arises when he finds that his niece is in love with a young man whom he strongly dislikes. So he plans to shift his niece for the time being to his sister's residence at Calcutta and instructs their family friend, Supriya Devi likewise. But the smart Supriya Devi, a psychoanalyst, being quite against Bipradas' wishes, has other plans up her sleeves. So as Bipradas leaves for Calcutta, Supriya Devi arranges a rendezvous for the young hearts at a Calcutta restaurant by the name of Hormone Garden. Meanwhile two of Bipradas' frustrated staffs takes this opportunity to enjoy a holiday in the absence of their master and they too leaves for Calcutta. After partying at various places in the city these two makes their way to the boutique shop run by Bipradas' fiance. Here the story takes some unexpected but humorous turns and we find the whole lot assembling at the Hormone Garden for dinner with several of them being unaware of the others' presence.
The humour continues and the climax is at Bipradas' sister's house where several misunderstandings cumulate to a happy finish. The drama is quite good and is an enjoyable watch.
