BRILLIANT EFFORT Artistes were at their best that it attracted the audience's attention till the end.
The monthly schedule of Visakha Music and Dance Academy organising a full play or two play-lets every first Friday, featured the full play Tarangaalu in Kalabharati on the third instant. Scripted by noted writer Ganesh Patro, it turned out to be yet another brilliant directorial effort by the many a time Nandi Award winner K.G.R. Gandhi for Kalaalahari, VSKP.
The playwright highlights how unexpected money would change the rich, middle and poor sections in the society.
In the process, he depicts how tempestuous tides of criminal attitude get triggered in the minds of a rich family in the first act, waves of serious predicament in the moderate middle class family residing in a town in the second act and ripples of minor differences of opinion that get ultimately subdued under the power of due regard for ethics in a family of rural poor in the third act. Neither the money nor the circumstances under which it got sighted or reached the hands of the needy as a bribe or by some other way are the same in the three acts. It turned out to be an indiscriminately linked play of three different stories. None the less, thanks to the pep and punch embedded in the dialogues, it not only sustained audience interest but also attracted their attention. The excellent histrionic talent exhibited with empathy by Dhavala Sanyasi Rao in playing the three main roles in the three acts contributed grandeur. Next to steal similar honours were Rajeswari and Balajee Naik who lived the roles they donned. The others in the cast even in minor roles were not wanting.
Music by Raju who simulated a variety of sounds of a variety of instruments on the violin and in his voice as well, helped invigorating all sorts of tenor and fervour in the sequences. Make-up by Bharani, stage decor and lighting by Sanjeevi and Venkata Rao assisted by Pundarikaksha, Appa Rao, Sahadeva Rao, Suryanarayana and Lakshminarayana were apt.
