Dehradun, 13 May: ‘Pyaar – Swaad Anusaar’ (Love according to one’s taste), written and directed by Abhinav Goyal, founder of Aaina Group, was staged today at Avikal Studios, Inder Road, here. The next performance is at the same venue on 15 May at 6:30 p.m.
‘Pyaar – Swaad Anusaar’ is a delightful blend of comedy and introspection, punctuated by lively songs and dances. Through the joyful, light hearted yet thought-provoking story, it encourages audiences to consider the complexities of social and familial bonds in many different ways. In this play, we delve into the lives of a vibrant trio: Boss, a skilled cook running a food van; Cherry, his loving daughter; and Binod, the bubbly boy who completes the family dynamic.
Everything is going smoothly, when suddenly harmonious relationships are seriously disrupted. The Boss discovers a budding romance between Cherry and Binod, leading to simmering tensions within the trio. As tensions escalate, each member grapples with their version of truth and individual morality, ultimately questioning the boundaries of love and loyalty. There is chaos, arguments and emotional out bursts. The family realises the importance of empathy and power of understanding and the question remains whether their story will culminate in tragedy or there is hope.
