JOIN USRavi and Charkha, a master and servant, are searching for a rented accomodation in Delhi but nobody is ready to accept them because they are bachelors! At last, they lie to a potential house owner Miss D’Costa saying that Ravi is a married man and that his wife will join them after two-three days. But, when his wife fails to show up, the landlady gives them a notice to vacate.
As the name suggests, Jugaad is a hilarious play with many punches and one-liners. A very common word used by Delhiites, the word suits the script rather well. The play takes a hilarious twist when Ravi lands in a soup because he asks Charkha to play his wife! Charkha, meanie that he is, decides to blackmail his master for more money or he threatens to reveal all.
Enter Ishwar, an actor who has played Sita in his native village’s Ramlia, no less than six times! The next thing you know – Ishwar is now Aishwarya for Miss D’Costa.
There’s more. Dilbagh Singh from Ravi’s village comes to stay with Ravi and starts wooing Aishwarya and ends up offers him/her a role! And Aishwarya being a wannabe actor falls for him! Not only that, the relation becomes funnier when Dilbagh and Aishwarya dance to a Bhojpuri romantic number – where a man is trying to woo another man!
In the meanwhile, Shyam Sunder (Ravi’s father) on getting to know that his son is married, decides to visit his daughter-in-law and falls in love with Miss D’Costa instead! On the other hand, Charkha spreads the news of Aishwarya being pregnant!
Another song sequence between Shyam and the landlady adds more flavour where Shyam is wooes Ms Whisky Soda/Miss D’Costa. Finally, Ravi while trying to save himself declares that Aishwarya is Dilbaugh’s wife!
Despite that the play had no professional actors, it left the audience in splits and asking for more. Directed by Dinesh Ahlawat, the play did need morerehearsals.
