On a cold winter night, Amrita Pritam (Deepti Naval) is sitting on the terrace of her house in Delhi when two strange things occur. She gets a sudden trunk call from Mumbai, making her wonder who it can be, as she doesn’t know anyone out there except Sahir Ludhianvi (Shekhar Suman). Before she could answer, Sahir appears in front of her. The two then indulge in awitty play of words and poems-shayaris which brings to the fore their love for each other, the loneliness, the anger and a lot more. The play is laced with poems, shayaris and asmart play of words.
Words will fail to do justice to the performances of Shekhar Suman and Deepti Naval. This is not just another play — the actor needed to mouth the poems and shayaris written by the legends that they are portraying and it needed to be done with the right emotion. And both the actors come out with flying colours. They look brilliant together and complement each other very well. Viewers will see both of them in a new light and with lot of respect and admiration after watching the play.
