The Relationship Agreement

This teleplay is a witty take on modern relationships and delineates the futility of trying to micromanage love. On one hand, is a young couple that draws up a relationship contract to avoid the pitfalls of love and on the other hand, is their parents who meet on social media and initiate a freewheeling dating life. What happens when the two perspectives collide is what makes the play a wholesome entertainer. The teleplay stars Sumona Chakravarty, Sajeel Parakh, Darius Shroff, and Pheroza Mody and is directed by Meherzad Patel. It will be screened on TataPlay Theatre. 

Piya Behrupiya

Director Atul Kumar’s musical entertainer is guaranteed to bring on hearty laughter with its multiple storylines, mistaken identities, and loads of comic twists.  This adaptation of Shakespeare’s timeless comedy ‘Twelfth Night’ has been performed many times in India and abroad to great acclaim.

It is now considered to be a modern classic thanks to its foot-tapping fusion music and its evergreen tale of love where Duke Orsino pines for Olivia, Olivia longs for Cesario, and Cesario, who is, in fact, Viola in a man’s disguise, wants to win over the Duke! The teleplay stars Geetanjali Kulkarni, Amitosh Nagpal, Sagar Deshmukh, Mansi Multani, Mantra Mugdh, Gagan Riar, Neha Saraf, Trupti Khamkar and Saurabh Nayar. The teleplay version of ‘Piya Behrupia’ is directed by Swapna Waghmare Joshi and will be screened on Dish and D2H Rangmanch Active and Airtel Spotlight.
