About The Event
130 years ago on the 8th of November 1888, on a stormy late night, 25 km from Saurashtra’s Mangrol port, ‘The unsinkable’ steamer namely Vijali sank with so many people! For years, we have been celebrating the exciting adventurous legends and folk songs around Vijali. But this play is not about why 'Vijali' sank and how it sank. This play is actually about the emotions around the land of the Mangrol. The land where captain Haji Kaasam was born, brought up, and grew up with Ameena. Also where he, to prove himself, went to explore the sea. The play is also about Haji, Ameena, and Nelly's love triangle, about Ameena’s longing for Haji Kaasam who went to conquer the seven seas. About the adventures of Haji being unaware of the immense strength that lies in and then conquering all odds to rule over the water kingdom. No love exists without a prolonged wait is the soul of this play. Ameena is waiting for Haji, who went on an endless voyage. This wait has no end! This unconditional love of Haji and Ameena is still relevant today. In the end, the villagers and the whole world accept that Vijali has already drowned….Haji is gone forever but Ameena says that Haaji will return to her no matter what because she has her faith in love and this faith will be there forever. This devoted love will be eternal till the folk songs of Vijali exist.
It's a popular musical play. Please add the artist as those are known especially for this play.
