Staged in the city for the first time the 90-minute play tends to delve into the relationship of a "hypersensitive" filmmaker and a "lovelorn" singer narrating a tragic tale of love from the 1950s where actors Arif Zakaria and Sonali Kulkarni essay the characters of Devdutt and Bhavana respectively.
One of the major focus of the play was to break the myths surrounding the combined lives of Guru Dutt and Geeta Dutt, says Zakaria, who has featured in films such as "My Name is Khan" and "Shootout at Wadala" and is an accomplished theatre artiste.
However, Sonali, a popular face in Marathi film circuit and a theatre actor of some repute, says, "There are not many plays like this that are being written nowadays. The characters are intense, passionate and have a certain kind of madness."
"I was aware of Guru Dutt ji's life but didn't know much about Geeta ji's life but because of this play we could get to know what it meant being a working woman, a passionate professional and the conflict between her personal and professional life, her love and her passion and how a girl of yesteryears managed all this,"
