MAA BHOOMI
Directed by Rathna Shekar
SILENCE PLEASE
A scientist goes temporarily blind due to an accident in the lab and while he is resting in his house trying to get used to his blindness a thief enters the house. The thief poses as one of the family members and manages to take advantage of his mistaken identity or rather say confused identity by the scientist`s wife, maid and a friend, who all contribute to his troubles.
MAA BHOOMI
"MAA BHOOMI," penned by Sunkara Satyanarayana and Vaasireddy Bhaskar Rao, unfolds the harrowing narrative of oppression and injustice inflicted upon the people of rural Telangana by the Zamindars and the autocratic regime of the Nizam of Hyderabad. Set against the backdrop of 1947, this poignant political drama provides a stark portrayal of life in the countryside, marred by the heavy burden of taxation and the ruthless exploitation orchestrated by the Deshmukhs.
Through its narrative, the play sheds light on the plight of the peasants and the indignities they faced under the oppressive regime. The forced grain levy, the exploitative practice of vethi, and the unlawful seizure of lands emerge as the primary targets of condemnation, echoing the collective grievances of the marginalized populace.
