Today’s play a situational comedy, ‘Badi Buaji’-an absolute rib-tickler depicting unending problems faced by an amateur theatre group trying to put up a play for their colony. With the rehearsals taking place in the drawing room of the Annu’s house-the lead actress of the play, the sudden visit of her dear Badi Buaji creates a massive problem. ‘Badi Bua Ji’ is deadly against theatre, particularly her niece being on stage. Though her Daddy Sansar is a cool supporter of the young artists, playing spoilsport to their aspirations of staging the play is ‘Badi Bua Ji, who is trying to save the long protected reputation of the family.
The play continues to uphold situation where the “play within the play” is being practiced against the odds with Badi Buaji not ready to leave and moreover adamant to take Annu along. And poor Phuphaji has not much to say with Buaji around. Undaunted by the volute-face and inspired by Shekhar’s quick thinking, the artists make a delightful last ditch attempt to outwit Badi Buaji. The end marks not only the success of the play but also wedding bells ringing for Shekhar and Annu, thanks to Shekhar’s lovable Bhabhiji.
Sumeet Sharma has successfully adapted the play in local environs and brought lot many changes to make the theatre action more interesting. Rajani Bhatti as ‘Badi Bua Ji’ and Bela Thappa as ‘Annu’ played the lead roles with full artistic energy.

Divya Kohli, Rahul Singh, Bipin Gupta, Ishfaq Anwar and Charanjeet Bhardwaj won the appreciation of the audiences. Two child artists Gopi Sharma and Rhythm Mishr who made guest appearances impressed one and all.. The lights were designed by Gaurav Jamwal and executed by Jai Ram.
