BUMPER CLAP's video: SARTHAK BAHAS A satirical Play by the director of Shadows of Othello Isteyak Arif Khan

BumperClap Presents From the director of Shadows of Othello Sarthak Behas Karnabharam and Urbhangam are two major compositions by Bhasa in the compilation of Sanskrit Plays. These two plays provide a discourse over two major incidents in Mahabharata. Bhasa served his audience; the sufferings, injustice and inner conflicts of Karna and Duryodhana. I had a longing to do these two plays but when I started, I found that it would be injustice to the script to perform it in a span of time. Me and my team decided to tweak the concept a bit and contemporize the production. While thinking aloud I realized that it's the same that media does with its audience. They tweak a piece of news and serve it in the most conflictual manner they can. Truth has been losing its existence. Media, which held the responsibility to form a clear throughout nation has built a confused and a chaotic nation. Instead of forming our own vision, our vision is influenced by media. Who will be our hero? , what to eat?, which place to hangout with families and friends?, what clothes to where?, what toiletries to use?, whom should we get married to?, etc are questions which are being guided and influenced constantly. It doesnt matter what the issue is? what is the effect of it? what matters is the TRP of a show. Therefore our play tries to bring it to the audience that how have become mere pawns in the hands of media.
