The Siddhus are back on Mumbai's stage!

This weekend,

theatre

veterans

Rajit Kapur

and Shernaz Patel will be back with their popular play, 'The

Siddhus

Of Upper Juhu' in Mumbai.
A fun comedy directed by

Rahul da Cunha

, it revolves around Balvinder aka Bubbles Siddhu, played by Rajit, who is a 50-year-old, well-paid financial executive, and his loyal Parsi wife, Behroze essayed by Shernaz. The couple lives on the fourteenth floor of a typical modern Upper Juhu and in spite of having poured their life savings into this house, everything civil and civic seems to go wrong!

For starters, just like many Mumbai homes, the walls are paper-thin, allowing a constant earful of the neighbours' private lives. Compounded with the continuous BMC drilling, the howling of stray dogs, and the stink of uncleared garbage, with the endless racket of this unsleeping city, Bubbles goes steadily pissed off and paranoid. And just when you think things can't get any worse, they do. Bubbles' company goes through a rough time and he gets fired. And then, his apartment is burgled and the thieves not only take all his clothes, but his precious whisky as well. What happens next is what the play is all about and a story that every Mumbaikar will relate to.

Despite being a comedy, the drama offers a satirical glimpse of how a city and its civic and civil issues can drive a sane man to the brink of a nervous breakdown. It deals with a middle-class couple's struggle to survive in Maximum City.
