If one wants to combine words like love, nourishing, caring etc into one, then that word that comes to mind is ‘Mother’. No matter how young or old one is, a mother will forever hold a very special place in one’s life. Baa Mari Mother India talks about the love that a mother and son share with each other through the ups and downs the life throws at them.
The relation between a mother and her child can become very hard to explain. But through this play the relationship is expressed in a manner that touches the heart.
The producer of the play Nilesh Sanjhavi explains the plot saying, “This Gujarati play highlights the love that the protagonist shares with his unwell mother. The mother suffers from fits and this causes a lot of problems for the son, from problems at work to problems with girlfriend”. In a normal scenario, the reaction to this will be to leave the ill mother at a home with a caretaker. “Although the protagonist faced various problems he did not have the heart to let his mother be looked after by other people. As his love for his mother is much greater than his problems” he adds.
This play has everything from art to entertainment to sending out a strong message to the masses. He explains, “This concept was chosen as it has various factors in one package. This is problem that many youth struggle with their own relationship with their mother. This play is not only entertaining but has a strong message hidden”.
The audiences have taken to this play quite well as it portrays something that everyone goes through. “The audience have really appreciated the performance of the Bhakti Rathode who is a 25 -year-old portraying a 70-year-old. The younger generation has been very responsive to the message that this play conveys” he adds.
