DONGALA BANDI
Directed by Rathna Shekar
GARDABHANDAM
A masterfully crafted political satire, Gardabhandam (Donkey’s Egg) is an ingenious blend of myth and modernity, using humor as a lens to examine the enduring absurdities of inherited power. Written by the celebrated playwright Shri Tanikella Bharani, the play offers a sharp critique of dynastic politics, where leadership is often dictated by lineage rather than merit. With its biting wit and engaging narrative, Gardabhandam transforms a seemingly whimsical premise into a profound reflection on governance, authority, and the folly of blind allegiance.
DONGALA BANDI
In the heart of a bustling town, the lives of seemingly ordinary individuals intersect in a moment of tragic consequence. Gopal Rao, a man of modest means, finds himself plunged into a nightmare when a heated argument over a bribe takes a fatal turn, leaving a young man dead at his feet.
In a desperate bid to conceal the truth and evade the clutches of justice, Gopal turns to the only allies he can trust his own family and a shadowy local goon. Bound by a shared fear and a web of deceit, they embark on a harrowing journey to dispose of the incriminating evidence. Will they succeed?
