Theatre is a creative platform to create awareness and challenge minds. An increasing number of people especially in metros are audience to shows that highlight their creative side, believe most theatre connoisseurs.
With this belief, the play U-Turn will provide some food for thought. Starring Poonam Dhillon and Asif Sheikh, the story revolves around an uncanny relationship between a man and a woman and their unusual musings.
‘U Turn is a melody but not traditional, it is a clash of generation cultures but not an advised propaganda, it is the charter of changes you are facing and you might not be prepared for it. This is a very contemporary and rare play on the life reality,’ said Asif.
The play has a humourous element to the story of two people in love who couldn’t be with each other. They meet accidently meets and their journey starts. Asif is a retired Army officer while Poonam is a housewife from Pune. ‘They take you away with them and leave you at times when you try thinking that the situation resembles with your life. It can quite universal,’ said Poonam.
Poonam is back to Delhi theatre stage after long with U Turn. Her earlier plays — Perfect Wife, Perfect Husband and Pyar Mai Kabhi Kabhi were appreciated. ‘Delhi is always a temptation. The play was in Marathi and I heard a lot about it. Being a part of its Hindi version is great,’ added Poonam.
She has been away from celluloid since 2009. Is retirement on her mind now? ‘I can never take a complete break from films. I started out when I was quite young and now over more than two decades, I have achieved enough. My work is more of a pleasure for me and I am aiming for a much balanced life now,’ Poonam said.
U turn to films then it seems.
