.
The act is written and directed by Ashok Rahi, a well known name in the world of theatre. The situations created in the play are not entertaining but also give a message. The story is about Natwar who is in love with Champakali but faces resistance from her mother Ramkali. When he finally marries Champakali, an untoward incident happens wherein a stranger and his look alike comes at his house and dies, leading to problems and comic intervention that brings in a lot of pun.
