The play Yeh Kahani Nahi, is a dramatic collage of Amrita Pritam's selected short stories that depicts the spontaneous overflow of human emotions. With an ensemble cast of more than 35 actors on stage director Shilpi Marwaha’s stage adaptation of these classics by

Amrita Pritam

outlines the dimensions of human behaviour as well as addressing the larger social cause. While stories like '720 Kadam’ & ‘Chhammak Chhallo’ deals with individual identity crises, mental trauma, poverty and rape, stories like ‘Mard’ &’Lal Mirch’ hits hard on patriarchy & false notions of masculinity. Shilpi has also reinvented Amrita Pritam’s different fragrance of love with these sweet yet thought provoking stories.


The play also touches the dynamics of the relationship between young Amrita & famous poet Sahir Ludhianvi through the viewpoint of Imroz in a very innocent way. The show on Sunday at Lok Kala Manch was house-full and hit among audiences as they gave a standing ovation to the entire cast at the curtain call.
