About The Event
Gogol's inspector general adapted by Sanjay Sahai in Hindi as Jaanch Padtaal. It's a story about a small township in India, where corruption ruled. The latest news in the town is that the center is sending a senior person to inspect the wrong doings in the township. The mayor calls an emergency meeting where magistrates, civil servants, school inspector, postmaster and the kotwali head, all the officers are called. They mistake a youth who is staying in a hotel as the inspector who has come from Delhi. The mayor with the intention of saving his officers goes to the youth and convinces the young man to move into his house as a guest. The mayors second wife, Imarti and his daughter from the first wife, Baby, decide to attract the attention of the young man. The humor is provided by the intervention of the mayors personal servants Goobar Singh, Jhulan, Lota Prasad and Chillamachi Miyaan. However most of them overact in the play and rather than providing humor they extend the play unnecessarily. When the young man, Kumar, disappears after having taken a lot of money from all the guilty officers in the town, the Mayor realises that he has been fooled. In the meantime, the peon from the circuit house comes and tells the officers and the mayor that the inspector general, sent by the center has arrived.
