Event Description : Sangeet Natak Akademi presents "Suno Janmejaya, play in Hindi" video screening as part of Sanchayan - Screening of archival films & video recordings.

A translation of Adya Rangacharya's Kelu Janmejaya, the play Yuvati, Mamuli Ram, representing the dramatist's point of view. In the first act, Buddha boasts of his long experience on earth, while yuvak declares that results are achieved only by energy and enthusiasm; desire is the basis of man's progress, asserts Yuvati, while Mamuli Ram believes in work and action.
At the office of Nava Samaj Nirman Kendra, the Neta's creation, these characters-now set in social context – reappear as employees in the second act. The result of the ensuring conflict of ideas is seen in the last act when Mamuli Ram is happily married to Yuvati. Yuvak feels betrayed by Buddha who wasted the best part of Yuvak's life by clinging to his post. The old man dies and Yuvak, Yuvati and Mamuli Ram follow suit, leaving the Neta behind.
Neta thinks the play is boring and incomprehensible. The Sutradhar tells him: “It is better to live in death than be dead while living”.

Directed by B.M. Shah
