Looking at Raj and Rinki now who have established a fairly successful musician’s group and were happy with their lifestyle, had their world shook beneath their feet when they stumbled upon Shyam working as a waiter in a no-good restaurant. The re-uniting of 3 childhood friends, separated by greed for luxury and stardom was fairly dramatic and revealed tons of pent-up emotions and feelings, eventually ending the play with Raj and Rinki forgiving and accepting Shyam back into their group and as a dear childhood friend. Blues house gave an outstanding performance, the actors were phenomenal and conveyed their emotions and dialogues well. Although, the house participants faced technological difficulties with sound and stage setting, they delivered a well-applauded play. The audience was fairly entertained which set-off the event to a good start. Title of Golds house’s play is ‘Pehchan De gaya’ which makes our imagination run amok as to what the play could be about? Their first scene started off as a court case between older Gunjan and her accused brother Ajay. Older Gunjan, played by Aishwarya ravi was a young woman in distress because of the constant abuse she suffered in silence. The play later on dials back to older Gunjan narrating her life story to motivate other young women who are suffering or have suffered something similar. The younger Gunjan is seen living with her aunt and her older brother Ajay, as her mother is paralysed and sick. Gunjan has her eyes set on her college education and after a lot of convincing and her brother having her back in this argument, she was finally able to go to college and complete her studies. Her brothers support, sadly, turned out to be a ploy to get some alone time with younger Gunjan for the mischievous acts he had in mind. Younger Gunjan eventually got to know of her brother’s true nature and was terrified and extremely uncomfortable around him but still decided to keep quiet and let her sufferings pass in silence. At a point when younger Gunjan finally had enough she decided to let her friends know of her pain, her friends were extremely supportive and sympathetic towards her. The word spread around like fire and reached her brother’s friend group who then decided to threaten Gunjan to keep quiet or they’ll hurt her severely. After threatening Gunjan and facing resistance from her, Ajay decided to throw acid on her face to shame her and keep her quiet. This was a desperately failed attempt by Ajay to keep Gunjan quiet and hidden because after that incident Gunjan only got bolder and even more confident in herself, she even decided to help other women out and inspire them to believe in themselves and speak up for their rights. This play was truly a motivating experience for the audience. Golds house gave an incredible performance and their story was heartfelt too. Although, similar to blues they did have a step back when it came to lightning, stage and audio settings, they gave a refined performance with a top-notch script and great acting skills. The audience had a mixed reaction to this play, some seemed to think it was mediocre and below expectations and some opinions praised golds for their work.
