FOURTH DAY OF 19th EDITION OF NATIONAL SCHOOL OF DRAMA’S
FOURTH DAY OF 19th EDITION OF NATIONAL SCHOOL OF DRAMA’S BHARAT RANG MAHOTSAV SAW FIVE PLAYS BEING PERFORMED
New Delhi, 4th February, 2017: Today during the 19th edition of National School of Drama’s International Drama Festival Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2017, 5 plays were performed including Subhadeep Guha’s Multilingual Long March; Ajit Das’s Odia play Bheti; Surya Mohan Kulshreshtha’sBhagvadajjukeeyam in Hindi; NSD Repertory Company’s Aadha Chand in Hindi directed by Ms. Tripurari Sharma and a foreign play in Russian byVladimir Baicher Chekov- Chaika. These plays were well appreciated by students, theatre aficionados, litterateurs and theatre lovers.
Today, during the Meet the Director at National School of Drama Manohar Teli, Director of the play Sankraman as well as the sole performer, who alone sports all the three characters said, “I present the story of inner tension and conflict between a father and his son due to their age gap. I was born in a farmer’s family and all of the characters were present around me. My personal life has been a great inspiration behind this play. Generation gap is a big problem nowadays and after watching the play my son had tears in his eyes and now he tries to fill this gap. That is my biggest win.” He further added, “I read this story in 1998 and I liked the theme. Also, it is not easy to maintain a theater group in Mumbai, so I found it easy to do the solo performance comparatively. I learned the text of the story while jogging or doing other course of life and work on my voice modulation. I show my preparations to the friends whose feedback matter to me.”
Also, Tanveer Akhtar, the director of Gabarghichoran Ke Mai explained, “This play ‘Gabarghichoran Ke Mai’ is not written by Bhikhari Thakur in this form. In fact, I merged his ‘Bidesiya’ and ‘Ghabargichor’ to evolve this new one. He was a very strong person who had the courage to say such things in his times that we still feel shy to communicate.” Responding to a query about giving more appeal on emotional theme than on social contradiction, he said, “Being from IPTA does not mean to be always politically or socially vocal. I stayed with the essence of the theme that is emotional. I feel that even IPTA should be granted that liberty and should not be demanded for raising social issues only.”
Hema Singh, who plays the titular role of Gadal, was asked about her chemistry with the lead actor to which she responded, “Me and Suresh Sharma know each other since our school days and have worked together as freelancers back in the days. We both had a very good understanding of each other’s role which in turn helped us in creating an element of chemistry which for the characters is constantly changing.” Suresh Sharma, the lead actor of Gadal Gunda while being enquired on his preparation said, “The process for me for the preparations for the role was quite easy because of the strong relationship and a deep connect between the characters of the play. Even though I didn’t have much time for the preparations because of my hectic schedule, as an actor I put sensation and sentimentality in my body language and vocals which reflects my ‘inner to outer’ approach to the message which is delivered to the audience.”
Sudheer Rikhari, Director of Gadal Gunda says, “As an actor, I used to think that the job of a director is very easy and has not much to do but when you get into the shoes of a director then only you understand what are the responsibilities of a director, it is impossible to replace Late Prem Matiyani sir and this a tributary performance to him.”
Bharat Rang Mahotsav

Each pitch has an individual Ace and X style dugout to ensure a stadium-like atmosphere for the urban football creators
Introducing international technology and innovation to the football creators and aspiring talent for the first time in India, adidas unveiled the miCoach Smart Ball. The smart ball’s unique sensor technology allows these creators to fine-tune their technique with instant feedback on attributes such as power, spin, strike and target.
Commenting on the launch, Hrishikesh Shende, Director Football, adidas India, says, “Football in India is growing rapidly with many young players aspiring to turn professional. We are extremely delighted to provide a world-class facility for the next generation of footballers. the BASE in Delhi will become a focal point of grassroots football and we are looking to take the concept to other metros this year.”
To further substantiate and celebrate the spirit of the sport, adidas offers an immersive football experience that encapsulates technology, innovation and artistic illustrations, further bringing an international sporting and uber urban experience to Indian football creators. the BASE has five graffiti walls extending over 3,000 sq. ft. highlighting the brand’s iconic association with the sport through interesting street-art that celebrates its rich heritage in world football. From Adolf Dassler – Founder of adidas and the 1954 ‘Miracle of Bern’ World Cup winning team of West Germany on one wall to a wall with artistic representation of Legends vs Current all-stars on the other. One wall illustrates the brand’s global icon and world’s celebrated footballer- Lionel Messi. A brilliant montage of Manchester United greats – both legends and playing stars feature on the fourth wall. The fifth wall has a classic artwork of the Base itself. The arena also has giant installation of the adidas Fracas (Euro 2016 Knockout-round Official Match Ball).
Present at the launch, Rohit Sharma, says, “adidas has been taking many significant initiatives to promote football in India. “the BASE” is a top-notch facility built to international standards and is ideal for young footballers to enjoy their football and nurture their skills. I am a die-hard football fan myself and my love for Real Madrid makes the sport extremely close to my heart. As an athlete, I am very glad to be a part of such an initiative by adidas and invite all young football creators and lovers to experience this fantastic facility.”
Also present at the occasion, KL Rahul, says, “Football is my passion and Manchester United is the team I have been rooting for ever since I was introduced to the sport. I play football regularly in the off-season and during warm up before matches. I have had the chance to tour “the BASE” and experience its facilities, which are second to none in India. It is indeed a great platform for young football creators and fans to experience the beautiful game in a thoroughly beautiful setting ”
Speaking on the launch and the growth of Indian football, former Nigerian World Cup and Champions League player, Rabiu Afolabi, says, “Football is like second nature and even after my retirement, I have been closely involved with the sport through football coaching and scouting for talent at junior levels. I am extremely honoured to be a part of adidas’ initiative to promote football in India. I strongly believe that the young talent in India has immense potential to make a mark on global football map and I look forward to my close involvement with the players through adidas.” Representing Nigeria in the FIFA World Cup in 2002 and 2010, Afolabi also played a vital role for the country in the semis of the 1999 African Youth Championship by scoring two goals and taking the team to the finals. He has also been a first-team player for top European Clubs like Standard Liege and Napoli.
Additionally, the BASE includes a variety of unique features made to give the footballers a 365-day 24×7 immersive football experience. The carefully designed walking paths allow easy and convenient movement for players as well as audience around the venue without disturbing the pitches. Other facilities include washrooms and changing rooms that are placed strategically to allow easy access from either pitches, F&B areas that have been created to cater to one’s energizing needs and a parking space for 150 cars.
With the launch of the Base, adidas strengthens its commitment to nurture football in India and build new avenues to inspire the youth. In the recent past, adidas held the FC Bayern Youth Cup India 2017 where legendary footballer Paul Breitner picked 10 best players to partake in the World Finals as Team India. Another initiative by the brand among many was the #FirstNeverFollows challenge wherein 5 players out of 8,200 consumers were selected by FC Pune City’s coaches and offered a week-long professional trial by the club, with the option of further extending a professional contract based on their performances during this week-long trial.
Located in the heart of the Capital city, only 2 kms from Chattarpur Metro Station, the BASE is certainly set to become the Mecca for football creators and fans in Delhi-NCR and India.
