KUKKA is a play displaying the atrocities committed by landlords in rural telangana prior to and some time after independence. Landlords and some affluent families often capitalized on the naive mentality and thinking of the underprivileged villagers. It also encapsulates the way in which the offsprings of these landlords also craved and learnt from their forefathers and dwelled on naive people in the same manner.

Badal Sircar's
Ballabhpur Ki Roopkatha
(Hindi Play)

Duration : 1 hr 15 minutes

Written by Badal Sircar, this play is the story of a man named Bhupati, who tries to make his dream of becoming a dental doctor come true by selling the priceless property of his ancestors (an old mansion). The real joy in this story comes at that juncture when it is learned that his ancestors also reside in the same house as a soul.
Now it remains to be seen whether Bhupathi will be able to sell this house along with the ghost i.e. his ancestor? If yes, then how much effort will he have to make to reach his dream. Where on one hand Bhupati's ancestors make you feel like ghosts in this play, on the other hand the rest of the characters make you laugh. Let us see together whether Bhupathi's tooth will be uprooted or not.

Celebrating Aki Kaurismäki
Wed Apr 20, 7:30 PM
Lamakaan
The month of April 2022 is dedicated to the finest Finnish Screenwriter & Director, Aki Olavi Kaurismäki, born 4 April 1957.

Kaurismäki is known for his extremely minimalistic style. He has been called an auteur, since he writes, directs, produces, and usually edits the films himself, and thus introduces his personal "drollery and deadpan" style. The dialogue is famously laconic: the articulation is unadorned, direct, and in strict standard language, without showing much emotion or drama. Characters frequently stand still and recite the dialogue as if it consisted of eternal truths or nothing at all. These characters rarely smile, nod sadly, and smoke constantly. The camera is usually still. Events are shown in a plain manner and characters are usually left alone to face the consequences. However, despite their tragedies and setbacks, the characters don't give up and eventually survive.

Movie: Drifting Clouds (1996), Dur: 97 minutes

A couple both lose their jobs within a short period of time. Too proud to receive money from the social welfare system, they strive to find new jobs, but one disaster is followed by the next.

The screening will be followed by a discussion about the film and its elements.

He starts appearing in a comedy TV show and becomes hugely popular. The strong anti-immigrant, anti-refugee and anti-muslim sentiments among the modern day Germany makes him convinced that he can make a political comeback.

It is a hindi comedy play that had been performed in year 2019 at Lamakaan and we would love to perform it again at our favorite stage.

Synopsis:
The play revolves around a clinic that is run by a lady doctor who is a smart business woman. The heart of the play is actually the compounder of the clinic who is hopeless romantic and creates hilarious moments in an effort to win the lady love or to be precise "any lady's love". Will the compounder succeeds in finding love of his life or the cop from the opposite police station gets lucky will be interesting to watch. The play is compilation of jokes put together in a story form adding music and dance to add spice. Ollolomatta is a word commonly used by Hyderabadis which means "don't mind, its a joke".

Film: MUGHAL-E-AZAM (1960) Directed by: K Asif Duration: 185 minutes
ABOUT THE FILM: Mughal-e-Azam (transl. The Great Mughal) is a 1960 Indian epic historical drama film directed by K. Asif and produced by Shapoorji Pallonji. Starring Prithviraj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Madhubala, and Durga Khote, it follows the love affair between Mughal Prince Salim (who went on to become Emperor Jahangir) and Anarkali, a court dancer. Salim's father, Emperor Akbar, disapproves of the relationship, which leads to a war between father and son.

The development of Mughal-e-Azam began in 1944, when Asif read a 1922 play called Anarkali which is set in the reign of Emperor Akbar (1556–1605). Production was plagued by delays and financial uncertainty. Before its principal photography began in the early 1950s, the project had lost a financier and undergone a complete change of cast. Mughal-e-Azam cost more to produce than any previous Indian motion picture; the budget for a single song sequence exceeded that typical for an entire film of the period. The soundtrack, inspired by Indian classical and folk music, comprises 12 songs voiced by playback singer Lata Mangeshkar along with Mohammed Rafi, Shamshad Begum and classical singer Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, and is often cited among the finest in Bollywood cinematic history.

Mughal-e-Azam had the widest release of any Indian film up to that time, and patrons often queued all day for tickets. Released on 5 August 1960, it broke box office records in India and became the highest-grossing Indian film of all time, a distinction it held for 15 years; adjusted for inflation, it may still be the highest grossing Indian film of all time. The accolades awarded to the film include one National Film Award and three Filmfare Awards at the 8th Filmfare Awards. Mughal-e-Azam was the first black-and-white Hindi film to be digitally colored and the first in any language to be given a theatrical re-release. The color version, released on 12 November 2004, was also a commercial success.
The film is widely considered to be a milestone of its genre, earning praise from critics for its grandeur and attention to detail, and the performances of its cast (especially that of Madhubala, who earned a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress). Film scholars have welcomed its portrayal of enduring themes but question its historical accuracy.

The month of April 2022 is dedicated to the finest Finnish Screenwriter & Director, Aki Olavi Kaurismäki, born 4 April 1957.

Kaurismäki is known for his extremely minimalistic style. He has been called an auteur, since he writes, directs, produces, and usually edits the films himself, and thus introduces his personal "drollery and deadpan" style. The dialogue is famously laconic: the articulation is unadorned, direct, and in strict standard language, without showing much emotion or drama. Characters frequently stand still and recite the dialogue as if it consisted of eternal truths or nothing at all. These characters rarely smile, nod sadly, and smoke constantly. The camera is usually still. Events are shown in a plain manner and characters are usually left alone to face the consequences. However, despite their tragedies and setbacks, the characters don't give up and eventually survive.

Neeti Rekahlu is a play that portrays love, it shows how relationships work and how actually true love is supposed to be. These days people get engaged and get married, but soon they leave each other or get divorced.

It is a hindi comedy play that had been performed in year 2019 at Lamakaan and we would love to perform it again at our favorite stage.

Synopsis:
The play revolves around a clinic that is run by a lady doctor who is a smart business woman. The heart of the play is actually the compounder of the clinic who is hopeless romantic and creates hilarious moments in an effort to win the lady love or to be precise "any lady's love". Will the compounder succeeds in finding love of his life or the cop from the opposite police station gets lucky will be interesting to watch. The play is compilation of jokes put together in a story form adding music and dance to add spice. Ollolomatta is a word commonly used by Hyderabadis which means "don't mind, its a joke".

Ajit is also credited for starring as a lead actor in popular Bollywood movies such as Beqasoor, Nastik, Bada Bhai, Milan, Bara Dari, and later as the second lead in Mughal-e-Azam and Naya Daur.
He started as a hero and later got famous for the roles of sophisticated villains. He is remembered even today for his dialogues like ‘Mona Darling’ and ‘Smart Guy.
Celebrating his centenary anniversary, Lamakaan celebrates this son of the soil films, art, legacy, and much more through screening of some of the finest films on all Wednesday of the May month and discussing Ajit's work pre and post-screening.
Film: MUGHAL-E-AZAM (1960) Directed by: K Asif Duration: 185 minutes
ABOUT THE FILM: Mughal-e-Azam (transl. The Great Mughal) is a 1960 Indian epic historical drama film directed by K. Asif and produced by Shapoorji Pallonji. Starring Prithviraj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Madhubala, and Durga Khote, it follows the love affair between Mughal Prince Salim (who went on to become Emperor Jahangir) and Anarkali, a court dancer. Salim's father, Emperor Akbar, disapproves of the relationship, which leads to a war between father and son.

The development of Mughal-e-Azam began in 1944, when Asif read a 1922 play called Anarkali which is set in the reign of Emperor Akbar (1556–1605). Production was plagued by delays and financial uncertainty. Before its principal photography began in the early 1950s, the project had lost a financier and undergone a complete change of cast. Mughal-e-Azam cost more to produce than any previous Indian motion picture; the budget for a single song sequence exceeded that typical for an entire film of the period. The soundtrack, inspired by Indian classical and folk music, comprises 12 songs voiced by playback singer Lata Mangeshkar along with Mohammed Rafi, Shamshad Begum and classical singer Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, and is often cited among the finest in Bollywood cinematic history.

Mughal-e-Azam had the widest release of any Indian film up to that time, and patrons often queued all day for tickets. Released on 5 August 1960, it broke box office records in India and became the highest-grossing Indian film of all time, a distinction it held for 15 years; adjusted for inflation, it may still be the highest grossing Indian film of all time. The accolades awarded to the film include one National Film Award and three Filmfare Awards at the 8th Filmfare Awards. Mughal-e-Azam was the first black-and-white Hindi film to be digitally colored and the first in any language to be given a theatrical re-release. The color version, released on 12 November 2004, was also a commercial success.
The film is widely considered to be a milestone of its genre, earning praise from critics for its grandeur and attention to detail, and the performances of its cast (especially that of Madhubala, who earned a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress). Film scholars have welcomed its portrayal of enduring themes but question its historical accuracy.
