Presented by Shiva Ansham Production and Creative Events, Surat “Chalone Kalibeni Jaan”

Writer: Shaktisinh Dodia 

Director: Shivang Thakkar

“Chalone Kalibeni Jaan is the story of the bitter-sweet relationship between 'Charan Singh', a middle-class young man from Gujarat, and his street dog 'Kali'. The irony is that Charan's mother loves Kaali as her own daughter and wants Charan to accept Kaali as his sister. However the arrogant Charan cannot accept Kali as his sister.
Charan tries on Vali Mana's insistence and bursts into laughter. A play that sees animals through the eyes of humans and humans through the eyes of animals is 

'Chalone Kalibenni Jaan'. 

Vivek co-challenges the beliefs of society and redefines the brother-sister relationship. The drama not only revives the relationship and the feelings in it, but the drama that burns in the hearts of the audience is Chalone Kalibeni Jaan.
