Thank you! it was fun watching "Tumhari Amrita" through this blog. I would never choose a life which has a story, worthy to be staged.
And i agree with Maini for the third answer. I m sure he would spend rest of his life in a lot of MAYBEs.
It would be difficult for Zulfi to get away with the pain. Ok.I don't understand from where the question One comes from, forgive my ignorance but the sons get hardly a mention in the your narration,So We (who have not watched the play) have very little to say. These MAYBEs have the ability to kill a wonderfully shaping story like nothing else! They compromise the purity of the story!Personally,I take it as a disbelief in the storyteller though i agree that it is hard to resist when you have connected yourself to the characters. When i say the journey fascinating,its purely on the merit of the story!Īs far as MAYBEs are concerned, I don't understand why do people have an penchant for Happy Endings. I appreciate your time and effort you have put into this post to take us through the fascinating journey of two souls. In hind sight, choosing Amrita over everything else would be a easy choice. A simple erudite obedient family man who has a thing for his childhood sweetheart whom he cannot forget. Zulfi is a difficult character to get into. Gurneys classic American play Love Letters, which became. Idealization is a product of upbringing and also influenced by the era in which you live. A playwright who wrote in Hindi and Urdu, he is known for his play Tumhari Amrita, based on A.R. I'm not sure if Shaheen's sons would idealize Zulfi as a father like Zulfi did. But he is a man who stands by his choices at all times- only blemish being his desperate attempt to propose Amrita for marraige to save his political career. In a performance like 'Tumhari Amrita', the audience becomes pivotal to the play, added Feroz Khan, the much acclaimed director. I was the head of the Prithvi Theatre and this play is a tribute to late Jennifer Kapoor (Actress, wife of the charming Indian actor Shashi Kapoor). If he made one, he would weep for not making the other. The concept of Love Letters was very interesting. Zulfi's path in life is laid out with difficult choices all the way. Although not portrayed explicitly, poor Zulfi is torn between his love for Amrita and his obedience to his "Waleed saab". It is his decisions that would make him feel guilty for the rest of his life.
This is where life takes a turn for Zulfi, with every act of obedience to his father he slowly moves away from Amrita. Some of the key decisions in his life are made at the behest of his father whose wishes he cannot refuse. Zulfi is portrayed as a person in control of his life unlike Amrita. Having watched the play sitting only couple of feet away from the writer of this blog, my understanding of the complicated relationship between Zulfi and Amrita is no different.
