Very rarely you feel that the time and money you spent is really worth for it. Yes i had the same feeling yesterday when i watched the play "Sattavara Neralu".
The play makes you think and view the world in a totally different way and lives you in distress how simple it looks why is that we have complicated our lives so much.
About the Play
Sattavara Neralu is a period performance set in medieval south India, at a time steeped in Brahminical religiosity, where monasteries and maths were as much centers of faith as they were the axis of power and influence. It is a play that attempts to explore the dark politics and the scramble for power that such a rigid milieu spawned. It shakes the philosophical base and intellectually inquires into the eternally rooted beliefs of our society.

You can also take a safe bet on few of the brands in the market. Its called as " Brand Faith". This brand faith holds very good with Benaka troupe. All there plays will give a feeling of time well spent and thought provoking with humour.
Sattavara Neralu is one my favorite play, it basically questions the very root of the belief system that exists in all monasteries found in all religions through out the world. It makes you realize and destroy the very foundation of the belief system we follow by our acquired knowledge.
Iam not against any monastry heads but what i feel is that when the very original great minds are gone then its gone for ever. When the flower is bloomed and its fragance is felt, it lasts only till it dries out. Once the flower is gone the fragance is also gone with it, You can't have the dead flower its place is in dust bin.
I feel the play is must watch for everyone.

Well, after reading those lines of yours, I feel this play is must watch. Plays are much realistic depiction of so called reality. Here I remember a film named "Matha" which was enacted by Jeggessh. It takes you to the internals of these religiously epic centered places. I feel these are the basis for most of the castes and cults that have evolved over time.
Films give you the high entertainment value of what the actual thing is. I'm delighted to see you get out of the shadows of the dead.
Keep posting
Thanks very much Ravi for your nice comments. It is always a big task to bring in the freshness into the play and that too when it is 338th show. For me it was my
76th show. Everytime I keep listening to the dialogues, it gives me new meaning. Everytime I watch Bharana on stage, it's a new experience for me as we stand just a breath away from the performance.
Thanks for the encouragement and keep supporting theatre...
