Relationships and more
Koobar aur Kaaki is based on two short stories penned by stalwarts Premchand and Dharamveer Bharati. The play tries to capture the predicaments and complexities of human relationships rooted in desire, weakness and human folly. The central characters of the play Kaaki and Gulaki depicts the general attitude of society towards old-aged people and downtrodden women. Prachi Sachdev who portrays the character of Gulaki said: "I observed old people, learnt voice modulation, body gestures and postures. It was a completely different experience to embody an old character and sense how they are treated."
A moment from Temporary Matter
It's a Temporary Matter
