This was a very unique experiment , I had ever witnessed, , instead of acting every time by the actors on different stages,the play was shot in camera once for all and televised on screen. It saves time for producers, distributors ,actors actress. It also saves time and money on transportation, sets ,make up etc. Also replacement of good actors/ actresses can be avoided due to unavoidable circumstances. In my opinion it is good idea.
Watching the screening of the play " The Big FAT city life " directed by Mahesh Dattani was a mesmerizing experience. The play contained all the elements like drama ,shock, turning points and surprises
The laughther received was not because of the comedy scenes or dialogue but because of the selfish attitude of the characters.
The story of the play just as under.....
