Anton Chekov’s “The Proposal – In Punjabi”

Someone once said - marriage is an adventure, like going to war - how different can a proposal be then?

Based on Anton Chekhov’s hit play 'The Proposal', this Punjabi adaptation explores the same plot but with a lot of Punjabi tadka. This is the first such adaptation of this classic play, conceptualized & directed by Saurav Padhi. The Punjabi translation has been penned down by Jagdip Singh.

 Adding to the flavor, this play also features a popular, but withering, traditional comic stand up art - 'Punjabi Phands' - in a contemporary avatar. The lyrics have been penned by Jagdip Singh & Rishabh Tripathi.

Will Veeraji be able to woo Nimmo? Will Jaman Singh finally get to celebrate the evening? What will happen to Ramu & Dulari?
