Neem Hakim Khatar-E-Jaan, a farce in Hindustani, translated and adapted by Niyati Surelia from Molieres 'The Physician Inspite Of Himself' is a 60-minute laugh riot, aimed at audience whove been asking straightforward comedies from us, of late. This is also for those who missed out on the previous shows and an encore for those who want to let their hair down - yet again. The original play though, was written more than 400 years back. Nathulal Bankepuriya, a good-for-nothing, 'Matric-failed', wife-beating, boozer of a watchman is always at loggerheads with his wife Kanta who, seeking revenge throws him in the shoes of a physician, without his knowledge. Nathu is now forced to treat the gibberish speaking Sharmilee, daughter of Deewan sahib, whos hell-bent on forcibly marrying her off to Heeralal because hes richer than Rohit, her lover. Do Nathus histrionics treat Sharmilee or does the Deewan himself get a taste of his own medicine? Find it out for yourself as you laugh your wits out.
