The play attracted theatre lovers and enthusiasts of all age groups, who came to witness one of the masterpieces written and directed by Abhishek Majumdar. The plot revolved around a father’s role and a son’s dilemma, where Satyasheel, an aging artist, faces a slow decline in his vision, leading him to contemplate giving up on his art. As a result, he must collaborate with a young actor famous for his role as Abhimanyu in theatres. This one of a kind theater within a theatre was performed by a stellar cast, including Kumud Mishra, Shubhrajyoti Barat, Gopal Datt and Sandeep Shikhar.
