		<description><![CDATA[Just watched the play last nite at Prithvi in Juhu in Mumbai. It was a very nice n simple play. The highlights were the stellar star cast of Vinay Pathak, Rajaj Kapoor, Konkana Sen Sharma and a very very very talented Ranvir Shorey!!!

All of them performed brilliantly but for me it was Ranvir. His performance of patient from humble backgrounds who is suffering with memory loss and who incapable of making new memories, really moved me. Especially the bit where he comes face to face with his now middle aged brother after 20 years but in his mind he his brother is only about 20 something. 

Ranvir&#039;s character Joginder is unable to comprehend this difference and gets shocked. The way this &#039;shock&#039; was performed really really moved me! Everyone in the audience was gobsmacked with his performance!

People you need to go watch it for the brilliant brilliant performances by all of the artists! You will remember this one for long long time!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone is entitled to their taste and opinion - but I saw this last night - and me and my friends found it simply brlliant! 

Inspite of the organiser bungling pretty much everything they could and one of the actors actually not being able to make it because of personal reasons - as soon as they started performing we forgot all of it and lost ourselves in their anecdotes.  

Yes there is no plot - it is their real reminiscences of their own childhoods. I hate to make this a north-south thing - because it definitely is not, if you are open to a bit of an avant-garde theatrical experience - but otherwise this play, by its very nature, may not strike the same chord if you if you did grow up in the &#039;80s in north India. Especially the humor is very much based on this context. So much of what they say transported each of us to these small memories of our own childhoods. 

And by the way, &#039;the Punjabi guy with an exaggerated accent&#039;, one of the only two playing imaginary characters in the play, we felt was the archstone that held it together. Brilliantly portrayed by Ranveer - drew claps each time he came on stage and a standing ovation later.

Go see it, if you get a chance!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was one of the unfortunate ones who caught this play in B&#039;lore yesterday. I was so excited to see a fabulous cast like this performing in B&#039;lore, I had booked this play well in advance with much anticipation. It was  BIG LET DOWN. I agree with this review wholeheartedly. I was sorely disappointed with the mundane and repetitive monologues which never led any where. Not only was it boring, some scenes featuring a Punjabi guy with an exaggerated accent were downright irritating and crass. A talented cast like this shouldn&#039;t be wasted on a script and theme like this. Please don&#039;t waste your time and money with this play!]]></description>
