On second day at Rang Alap Festival staged Lala Hardol at Shaheed Bhavan in Bhopal.
On the second day of the National Rang Alap festival, Lala Hardol was staged at Shaheed Bhavan. The play, directed by Balendra Singh and written by Komal Kalyan Jain, portrayed the sacrifices Lala Hardol made for his people. The play spoke about why Lala Hardol is considered a God figure in the folk culture, and throws light on his place in history.
The drama began with Lala leaving for Orchha, where his stepbrothers Jagir Singh and Pahadh Singh stay. Since Jagir is happy with Lala’s deeds, he gives half his property to him, and also asks him to be the caretaker of his own wealth. This makes Pahadh angry, and plans an attack on Orchha with the help of Shahjahan.
The play highlighted the culture of Bundelkhand, with the actors even speaking in that slang. The sets, costumes and lights were used perfectly to reflect the Bundeli culture.
