Hari Koreche Pratigya

A drama by Sandipan directed by Kajal Chakraborty who also plays the part of the chief protagonist of the narrative.

The story is about Hari, who under the guise of domestic servants is always on the lookout to steal his master's jewelleries for his sweetheart Kusum so as to win him over from his rival Jata, another wooer of Kusum. But Kusum's craving for jewellery is neverending and so Hari is found to switch his job and his name to meet Kusum's needs. But Hari's inner self begins to protest and finally we find him at the crossroads where he gets confused to choose between the life of a common thief and the ascetic.

The chief part of the drama is humorous but the problem is that the entire presentation is marred with a very feeble direction, and loosely woven sequences. Added to this is the inadequate use of background score and stage lighting. The entire performance can only be labelled as average though the individual acting of Mr. Chakraborty as well as the persons playing the role of Janardan and Panu (& the eununch) are excellent.
