Me, Cash & Cruz...

Well, lucky i was to get the special preview passes to Rahul Da Cuhna's new directorical play titled, 'Me.. Cash & Cruz' which is a tribute to Mumbai and Mumbaikars. The play was staged at N.C.P.A Experimental on 11th april,2008. Rahul's amazing skills as a writer and his unbelievably believable characters takes the audience on a journey of the city from Bombay to Mumbai! It starts in 1984 and ends in the Millenium... what was really impressive about this show was the artistic sets that complimented the soul of the play and the impressive transitions used to leap years and emotions! Rajat Kapur and Amit Mistry were as impressive as ever! Ofcourse there were the cons as well.. Neil Bhoopalam, who played Kash(yap), at times overdid his part and that stood out like a sore! At times, his perfectly polished diction did not flow with his acting skills! He failed to communicate the chronicles of the character... The lights could have been done in a much better and creative way.. there was so much of scope to play with the characters just by using the lights! But all is well that ends well! The show got a standing Ovation for the audience which it deserved to the core! Hats off to Rahul for writing such a amazing play! Kudos to Amit and Rajat and Yamini for bringing that extra zing to the play!
