About the play:- 
“YATHARTH” presents a dramatic adaptation of  Vijay Dandeetha’s celebrated short story ”Rijak Ki Maryada”.
Nothing happens to a story if all you do is listen. Nothing happens if all you do is read, or memorize word to  word. What matters is if you make the heart of the story part of your very life. This story is one of those.
Once there was a “Bhand”, one of a kind that devote themselves to impersonations. This particular bhand was so adept of disguising himself that next to him the real thing looked fake. He would keep a disguise on for several days, so that no one would ever find him out until he clapped his hands and hooted and hollered and went back to being his regular self. He knew a hundred different languages. Could reproduce calls of all the different species of birds and animals so well that even the animals didn't realize the call came from a human throat. You should have seen him disguised as a merchant, a tribal, a hunter, ascetic, cowherd, or mullah, Lord Hanuman or a beggar! Anyone who saw his disguises would swear he had more than one face, and many more throats
One day the Bhand went to the kings court & the king ordered him to appear in the guise of a "Daayan”. The king's  brother in law gets murdered in the process which makes the king order the bhaand to guise of a “sati” woman. Doing which he dies.

About the play :-
“Here Lies the Point” is a hilarious comedy based on the ups and downs of husband- wife relationship. Due to some misunderstandings wife Mallika doubts her husband’s character without addressing the core issue and analyzing the situation.

A fake saadhu named Chennai Swami takes advantage of their complicated relations. Actually he is a thief in the guise of Saadhu. One day situation becomes intolerable for Mallika as she lodges a complaint in the police station against her husband, under the Domestic Violence Act.
On the other hand the wife of Inspector- Sardar Teja Singh is emotionally disturbed because of his flirtiest nature. Before leaving her husband she warns him of a divorce. To attend Mallika’s police complaint this funny Inspector reaches her home and due to his flirtiest nature many humorous events occurr one by one.
Another character Chaudhari Chhotala who is an illiterate property dealer cum dairy owner is also a friend of Mr. Verma. He is afraid of the English language. Because of his misconception he finds himself in this funny situation.
