Children disown parents in today’s world
by J P Pereira
‘Maim Tuzo Upkari Hanv’, a tiatr by Roseferns is a touching Story of a mother’s love and sacrifice, the son’s ungratefulness and a lot of comedy. A tale that is often told, but this time the realisation of the truth, dawns too late.A widowed mother has brought up her son through lots of toil and sacrifice. The son, Julius works in the States and out of pity, she has adopted three boy. One is deaf, another is dumb and the third one, blind. Julius has written a book dedicated to his mother and wants to publish it. He marries a shrew named Jasmine daughter of an eccentric ‘Salu Bhacar’ and the three decide to kick the mother out of the house. A good doctor and his son, who is an advocate, help the old lady to achieve her dreams. But..! The play entertains to capture the attention of the viewer, with a good script that has many surprises and enjoyable comedy. The cast does full justice to their roles. Roshan plays the tragic mother and literally lives the role. Great acting, a fine display of emotions and a right sense of dressing. On the other hand, Antonette (Maina) as Jasmine acts well, displays a great wardrobe but looks overdressed most of the time. Tari is Julius, the ungrateful son. Great performance in a negative role while Victor is just right as the advocate, torn between helping a poor old lady and earning some money. Peter plays the eccentric Salu Bhacar and Roseferns, the dignified doctor, in style. The highlight of the play is the rib tickling comedy from Saby (blind) Sally (deaf) and Tony (dumb). The three have the audience in splits most of the time.
The opening song is rendered well and has nice lyrics, there are some good solos by Rosefrens, Lawry, Tari, Francis de Tuem, duets by Tony - Victor, Peter-Roshan, trios by Tony-Lawry-Francis and Tony-Antonette-Seby and a humorous quartet from Roshan-Peter-Sally-Saby. The setting and light effects are average.
A total entertainer, the drama is not to be missed.
