Mukhyamantri

Mukhyamantri traces its origins to the 1976 novel by Chanakya Sen, masterfully adapted into a Hindi play by NSD stalwart Ranjit Kapoor and performed for over 44 years. Set in an atmosphere of swaying political loyalties, it follows the protagonist KD Kaushal who is intent on retaining his position through approaching elections. Through physical comedy and clever situational humour, the play captures Kaushal's efforts to outmanoeuvre rivals and maintain his grip on power. The stage is adorned predominantly in white, accentuating the theme of political manoeuvring. Starring the iconic Mukhyamantri Chandru in the lead role.
