About Arundhati
Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. So believes Arundhati for she cannot
forget the grievous injury inflicted on her in the past, which has tormented her soul continually.
She is on a mission now. But is it the be-all and end-all of her life ? Will she remain fixated with endless cycle of resentment and retaliation ?  Does the human qualities of compassion and forgiveness have no role to play ? Can she not look beyond the immediate future and dream of a better life ?

About Ô-Bhoot
What happens when an ordinary folk assumes a larger-than-life image and takes on the
powers that be ?
A gullible person, possessed by the ghost of an honest man, undergoes complete
transformation overnight. He can see through the veils of people around him, masquerading as ‘respected’ in society, and starts unmasking them. All hell breaks loose. Pandemonium prevails.
People are flabbergasted, scared to confront the truth. Their reputation is at stake.  So, they come together and unite against their common enemy. To salvage their honour, they decide to take the person to task.

About the group : Serious theatre and affording amusement to audience are the primary objective of Aakriti. 
Twenty-two productions in the last sixteen years are not mere numbers. They tell a tale of
assiduous effort covering a wide variety of theme, presentation style and acting flair. To elevate the level of a play from mere performance to that of art requires resolute commitment, hard work, perseverance, skill, creativity & innovation. This is what Aakriti has been religiously doing ever since its inception. But can we ignore the audience and say ‘let them go to hell, we will do it in our own way.’ No, definitely not. They are the ultimate judge. Their opinion matters.
In fact, theirs is the last word for any performance to be called ‘successful’. If their views are
taken into account, Aakriti has already become one of the leading Bengali theatre groups in
Delhi, with some memorable plays in the past. But the group does not want to rest on its laurel.
To explore newer horizons in the field of theatrical art, experiment with unorthodox content and innovative form, and test the critical faculties of the audience is what Aakriti hopes to do in future.
