Event Description: THEATRE: The Films and Theatre Society presents Atul Satya Kaushik's Ballygunge 1990, Hindi Thriller Play 

Synopsis: “Ballygunge (बालीगंज) 1990” is an eighty-minute thriller Play which is set in the year 1990 and the story unfolds in Ballygunge, a famous place in (the then) Calcutta. Kartik and Vasuki had been in a very passionate relationship for more than 10 years before Kartik left Vasuki behind and set out to chase his dreams in Mumbai. Vasuki is now married to a famous painter, Binoy Das and is living a life full of regrets and vendetta as she holds Kartik and their failed love responsible for her miserable life. Now she has invited him over for a coffee at her mansion on the evening of Durga Pooja. Kartik is a bit confused and happily surprised to see the same ten-year-old passion and love in Vasuki’s eyes. Vasuki is unpleasantly surprised to see the same hostility and detachment in Kartik’s eyes. A well-crafted plan is going to change the course of their lives forever.
Famous Film, TV and Theatre actors Annup Sonii and Nishtha Paliwal Tomar take the audience through this episode of spine chilling thriller. The production bears the stamp of a typical Atul Satya Koushik production i.e. lavish sets, costumes, music and a spectacular wholesome experience for the audience.  

Director’s Note:
In ten years of doing theatre, I have always tried to keep giving myself and my team new challenges always. We have pulled off lavish historical productions, musicals and comedies in the past 10 years. Over years I observed that suspense, thriller and mysteries is one genre that has not been explored much on Hindi theatre stage. So I wanted to do something in that genre and wrote this play “Ballygunge 1990”. The challenge with writing such plays is you are writing a thriller with one mind but there are 600-700 minds in the audience trying to crack your suspense points. So you have to think ahead of them and try to fill all loopholes and make it a watertight script.

Having written the script the next challenge was to find the apt cast. I am happy that I could convince Annup Sonii to play the male lead. He comes with a lot of experience and professionalism and adds a lot of value to the production with this immaculate performance. Nishtha as the female lead is also a perfect cast with all the mysteries in her persona and speech.

Director: Atul Satya Koushik 

Cast: Annup Sonii, Nishtha Paliwal, Kunal Kaushik
