OnE cUttInG eXpeRiEnCe.............

So at last......it appears as a good work..........otherwise i was thinking to abort it.

But it has developed something which can draw a verse on our face...

I am talking about the short film which we made in a very short time.

On 13th December,11:00 pm

       We decided to make a movie.

On 14th December,12:00 noon

       We are at place to shoot.

On 15th December,2:00 pm

       We are having the DVD of film. 

We tried to make a nice work.......there was a lot of difficulties....but at least we put hard efforts...

I am very thankful to all the team....who supports...tries.....pushy...and there are lots of words to describe them....but one is that which is called "FRIEND".

They are my friends...and we made a simple thing which shows friendship...love....sympathy....emotions...care....and a cutting cup of tea.

"ચા ની કિટલી"
 જયાં અમે રોજ ટાઇમપાસ કરીએ છીએ.....એ કિટલી પર બનેલી એક સૂક્ષ્મ ઘટના......
બસ એ અમારી ફીલ્મ....... "one cutting smile".

Ahmadabad has completed its 600 years.......and this venture exhibit the culture....of Ahmadabad...where people share such kind of things i said above.

But we couldn't say it only for Ahmadabad....we can see that wherever people live and when they perform humanity.


Try to create a simple smile on a face of an unknown person....it leads us to make this film....and i wish that we have did it.

Named "one cutting smile"......abhinay did good camera and edit.....

acted by dilip...pratiek....pritesh...maulik...hameer....mohan...chai wale chacha......jay did backstage....bhaumik inspired a lot....and me, dhrunad only watching them they were doing good or not...???

Nisargbhai has supported a lot.

This isn't the best we did...we are very unsatisfied with our work...that we didn't get time to make it more beautiful...but it is good.

about the struggle

About the struggle

Last week we have performed at MICA  in SANKALP"2010................a play named "KHUDA HAAFIZ"
adopted from the story of  "GULZAR".

Two persons.......human beings......meet at a one definite point of their lives....where they are in struggle to live..not to live but to survive.....in this world where they are known from their caste....religion....not as a HUMAN.

Conflict which seems as a war.

It questions them what to believe.....what to do...whom can we trust???
This process obtain the question to audience...."What have we become???"

Why do people become so violent  towards these terms like castes religions???
Even they put their lives in danger. they are bigoted to loose their humanity.
Obligations of these kind of thoughts made this world murderous.

One is a Hindu and the other is a Muslim.

Simple characters.

Simple act.

They don't know each other...they fear each other...struggle with each other but they TRUST each other.
It's the way of  living.....which leads them to know they are from different castes.
They show the virtue.
They efforts to save their lives together. 

As an actor of this character...its Struggle inspires me to act.
It gives me the road which defines my struggle of existence.
It was simple to show the fear...the discomfort, But it was difficult to express fear with the ultimate FAITH....the belief of morality.
It was hard but it was tried.

And the last,
We are living in this modern era with all the difficulties which we have faced in Primitive era....But without that Humanness.

We are becoming less human.

All these stuff has told before me...but i am just trying to express the work which we are doing......which interests us.

Have good.
We'll meet again.
Bye.

DHRUNAD,

Acktor's theatre.

This is my first blog.
There must have been so much mistakes....so please generous to my mistakes.
I have to start from wherever...and i started from here.

TOBA TEK SINGH

acktor's theatre presents

Dhrunad Kamle & Hetul Tapodhan

TOBA TEK SINGH

Story: Saadat Hasan Manto 

Adatation: Abhinay Banker

Direction: Bhaumik Trivedi

Language: Hindi/ Urdu

A couple of years after the Partition of the country, it occurred to the respective governments of India and Pakistan that inmates of lunatic asylums, like prisoners, should also be exchanged. Muslim lunatics in India should be transferred to Pakistan and Hindu and Sikh lunatics in Pakistani asylums should be sent to India. During the journey to their respective destinations, the lunatics reach the Indo-Pak border.

So goes Saadat Hasan Manto's powerful satire on Partition, 'Toba Tek Singh', which questions the absurdity of Partition. Even lunatics, or rather only they, could see the contrast between the public and private madness.

The line which was drawn in 1947, that divided not only the country, but also millions of families, more or less 50:50 between India and Pakistan. The wound thus created remains unhealed even after 60 years. 

Maonto's Thanda Gosht

“THANDA GOSHT"- The monologue

Abhinay Banker as Ishar Singh

Performed by Abhinay Banker 

   

Story: Saadat Hasan Manto

Adaptation: Abhinay Banker

Direction: Bhaumik Trivedi

Language: Hindi/ Urdu

           The monologue is based on a short story of very famous writer of Urdu Literature. Thanda (Cold) Gosht (Meat) - During riots, a Goonda protagonist, finds a girl, in unconscious state and thinks of having nice time with her. He carries her all the way to safe place, only to realize that the girl had already died long ago, and that he was bearing 'Thanda Gosht'. The mild feeling of bearing 'thanda gosht' all the way throughout, upsets the man so much that he becomes impotent out of the shock…
